I wonder if we can help one of the more prestigious colleges to fulfill their plan on Speck. Something like if you help Hedonist and Captain California, Saviour controls Speck and you get to enroll In Saviour after you graduate from Speck, and if you help Nil, Prestige controls Speck and you get to enroll in Prestige after you graduate from Speck. Maybe a third option would be to expose both of them and them they both hate you.
I would side with Prestige, in fact I hope my character can attend Prestige at the end of the game.
Part of it is that Origami should have never been there. I donāt know how much you know ow so I wonāt say more than that but if you get to know ow her there is actually more to the character. And for me connection to the characters is important. I feel the need to feel how my character feels. Especially on the first playthrough.
Yeah, I understand that point but I donāt felt that connection with that kind of characters. Donāt Know why really but good characters as her simply donāt make me feel any connection normally, they bored me to no end. She is kind and that but not realistic enough for me. In contrast, Tress, Uni and Dirty girl are realistic and credible. I prefer them to Origami . I would prefer game could gives the option to choose from bring her back or not. My no would be clear .
She is more that just kind. She hides it well but inside there is sadness and pain. She had a drive to be everything she could. And her being at speck was amazing in a way. And I donāt think Tress, Dirty, or Uni are much more realistic than Origami except in one way and thatās that nobody could tell her secret. I mean Rook might have known but the school should have figured it out.
I agree on the importance of connection. In fact, this interactive story is able to reflect some degree of the self of the player What I want to be or I get used to be in the real lead to different choices and I certainly enjoy this process. It makes the characters more approachable and I can mix my feeling into that.
All I can say about Origami is that Iāve went baaaaack and foooorth about what to do about her and Iāve pretty much decided that.
And on a unrelated note, Iāve reached out to a local (and very cool) band that does southern blues and Iām trying to figure out if it would be awesome to work out some sort of licensing deal with them to include music in Part 2? They are really good and capture the vibe in my headā¦I know some people hate music though so Iām not sure if this idea is a total waste of time.
Music: Or maybe as a themed single sold via the future Community College store? Alongside the t-shirts and messenger bags with patches and other cool merch. (:0
I agree with @poison_mara , I donāt prefer a soundtrack sold with a book or game book. Itās different with visual novels, as the music is usually tied to scenes or characters and is more of a score than just a single track playing. Also the single tracks that are chosen tend to be rather busy for a game book, at least for my tastes. And they take up more room for those with phones or tablets that have very little memory.
Also, there are at least a few games out with music tracks currently, yes? Maybe one of the authors - @Samuel_H_Young, perhaps? - could weigh in on how the soundtrack has fared, both when included with purchase (which was true of his Book 1, I think?) and as an optional DLC (Book 2).
Music wise you should do it but enable a mute feature for those that dont wanna hear it!
Also does anyone have an acrobatic guide for the breaking class i get to combat wombat and whatever option i choose i lose :ā(
P.S how do i start a relationship with crook, and about that guy in the black shirt when you can either look at crook, stoic or black shirt guyā¦Is he an upcoming love interest?
The free music and illustrations in TotDH seemed to get a little bit of positive attention, but the optional $2 illustrations in CoF have mainly been the cause of bad reviews.
If you build music/additional art into the price, people bitch about not wanting to pay for stuff they donāt want.
If you make music/additional art an optional purchase, people bitch about having to āpay extraā for what should have been included for free.
So basically people would only not bitch if you included all the art and music for free. But since music and art cost money, thatās a bad deal for the author.
