I mean, that’s not the only random NPC change :eyes:

(the server at Mario’s changes too based on your preference)

Personally, I would do it for 2 reasons - immersion and red herrings. From what we’ve seen so far, I wouldn’t put it past Jo to do something of the sort. For immersion sake, personally, I write a character according to their preferences - so making some random NPCs their preferred gender just for funsies because I would think that in real life that would be something that would catch their attention.

But I’m more than 60% sure that it’s a red herring. It seemed too easy to spot. But who knows, it might not be.

Much as I would like to do this, it would probably be too difficult to tell why without giving away even more spoilers and/or being too long. Important options don’t usually depend on your stats, but rather on prior decisions.

Ooh! I didn’t know that, but it makes sense. Phew, all this coding + all this excellent writing! I guess I’ll be delving into the code of the game, just to see what’s going on with the decisions. But greyed out would still be nice! :slight_smile:

I would like an option for saying I don’t blame you dad for leaving because you believe it was your fault why the family broke when your having dinner with him

Hm, I’ll take a look at the options but I’m not sure if it needs to be said? If you don’t blame John, it doesn’t really come up. After all, it’s been years since the incident.

ALSO I REMEMBERED THIS TIME.

Mind Blind Friday Progress

Playable Words: 150k! Whoo-hooo! This feels like a giant milestone to me. I have more written, but that’s how long the next demo update should be (unless I delete or rework a scene).

Next Demo Update: November 30th.

Apologies To: K. Superheroes gotta have that tragic backstory, tho.

Special Thanks To: Mr. Third Wheel. His constant commentary has been a lot of fun to write.

Rolled Eyes At: Glitch. Good thing they take Button out for coffee, because Glitch is thirsty as hell. Seriously.

If we don’t have any romance flags with Glitch, do we still get to get that drink with Glitch that he asked us about in return for throwing the assignment?

You can find a more detailed answer in the main post FAQ, under “Questions You Asked,” but the short answer is around 12-15.

Yes! Romance is completely optional. All excursions with ROs have at least two versions: one romantic and one platonic.

Wait, we can play this? Who are they?

That would be MC, Sally, and Nick.

Both Nick and Button can have romantic interest in Sally. More of a love V than a love triangle.

Sally has a crush on Nick you can pair them together or go the angst route of doing her romance. Nick doesn’t have feelings for her in the beginning unless you try to get them together I believe.

Guys, anyone knows how can we win to the challenge, other than using the puppies and preventing Ken from entering?
