PRESS PLAY (music WIP, prologue, chapter 1-3, 200k words; !UPDATED May 10th!)

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words. I’m gonna have to disappoint in regards to Linkin Park though: that band isn’t personally meaningful to me. Not to say they’re bad at all! I know they have a big fan base and I’m sure it’s well deserved. They’re just not on my own little radar.

Clearly not a Transformers enjoyer!

Wow this is insanely high praise. Thank you very much.

It also means a lot (more than you might imagine) that a musician approves ^^ I play some instruments myself but I’d hesitate to call myself a musician as it’s only a hobby and I’m really quite bad, so sometimes, I feel a bit like an imposter writing from a musician perspective. Hence, I appreciate your comment quite a lot.

I’ve been on a Cyberpunk kick for a while now (a month to be specific) so last night while I was taking a break from it, I did a fresh playthrough and ended up naming the band Samurai :joy:

My head canon is basically Pink Floyd’s sound while having my MC be kind of like Johnny Silverhand minus the mega asshole part heh.

I’m afraid not.

Having revealed this, I am surely not beloved in my readers’ sight anymore. But I cannot withhold the truth.

This is a very important question.

Who do you think can be the actor of the group?

I’m sorry but I don’t think I understand what you’re asking :sweat_smile:

Our management would want us to diversify outside of music.

Modeling, influencing, acting in movies/tv, a fashion brand, a fragrance line, and so on.

Who do you think they’d want to act?

Ohhh I see now. Sorry it was just unrelated so I didn’t understand.

There’s actually something to that effect coming up in the story so I’m not really going to say anything as I don’t want to spoil… But then again, do you truly have to ask? ;D

:: snickers :: plot twist they both get usurped by the drummer

But in seriousness it makes since it would be the MC and Zima being top contenders though im curious to see how the MC would be convinced to do so.

Yet its just another thing to look forward to with your game. :grinning:

By Maddox? By the constitutionally lazy, socially awkward unless he’s drunk or high Maddox?

Oh it’d just be a possibility. You as the MC have the choice to take it or nah.

Eheh thanks <3

While (male) mc is very handsome, in my case probably even beautiful that “dead face” would make him the new Keanu if he did decide to act. Although there may be a niche for that. Modelling may be a bit easier, though similarly limited in facial expression, but if mc is already famous they probably want him more as a brand promoter/ambassador and “influencer” than as a rookie male model anyway so they are more likely to accept working within the mc’s limits on facial emoting, instead of the other way around.

What about Fatima? The other drummer we get later on? How’d she be on the acting and modelling front?

I’m not gonna say much more on that bcs I want what happens to actually be a surprise (for lack of a better word) when it pops up. Only MC is going to be a musician first and foremost, all other industry opportunities are essentially just little things along the road. It’ll be a fun extra chapter in the MC’s life, but this is still a music story so don’t expect too much, okay? (I’m sweating here haha)

Fatima is, as of yet, a non-entity… But aside from that, she’s also very low-key. She’s mainly there to do her job and get paid. She’s uninterested in pursuing any sort of recognition beyond that. She wants to be known as a good drummer, and that’s it. Also, while she’s not bad looking by any means, she doesn’t have the level of attractiveness that brands/movie productions/etc. would be looking for.

Thats fine, everyone’s got their own taste in Music. It’s in my head canon tho that my Mc is a Chester Bennington Stan and sings like him.
