Menial jobs like being a sexy rockstar? :confused: Of course my mc takes Eddie as being representative for Earths. :wink:

Nah, that’s Water. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Maybe Fire, depending on the exact genre and style of play. Not that Mr Quickly would approve either way. :sweat_smile:

Just started reading through thr comments and although the early ones are from a while ago, I felt the need to respond. People whining, quite rudely and aggressively in some instances, about things like school uniforms and ties… leave it up to the author. He’s doing a great job. If he envisages uniforms and ties, let it be. I understand that some people may not like the idea of school uniforms but that’s hardly relevant. For any story to be any good, there will be things in it that we don’t like. Some will be major things that the protagonist has to overcome. Others will be less important things, of the type that we all have to learn how to deal with, both in rl and in a fictional world. Not everything is buttercups and roses and we don"t always have things how we want them. What’s more, what we want differs from person to person. At present, peoples comments appear to amount to little more than, ‘I don"t like ties, therefore you shouldn’t have ties in the story!’ etc. I’m sure the writer appreciates input but trying to micromanage every bit of their story not only undermines their artistic vision and sows doubt, it’s also ultimately pointless, as what one person hates, another will love and vice versa. Many others will be indifferent to that same thing. If you do have a criticism or worry, at least couch it in terms that explain why you feel it doesn’t work in the story, or why something else would., rather than just saying ‘I personally don’t like that so it has to go’! Also, a little politeness and respect towards a writer revealing their project publicly, wouldn’t go amiss. :slight_smile:

So if we make Eddie cool, does that mean we’ve changed his element to fire or something now? :thinking: :crazy_face:

Hi everyone! I just wanted to let people know that I uploaded the latest version of the game to Patreon; you can see it if you follow me there. Don’t worry if you can’t afford it; the latest version will be made publicly available in two weeks, on the 25th. The current version has a total word count of around 320,000 words, and an average playthough length of over 140,000 words.

Sorry for the late reply, @skele99 and @James_Ahern: Won: Did you win the trial? Inherited: Did you inherit (kinda) the estate; Extra stat: The duchess’s relationship stat.

Not done with the new playthrough yet but have to say, I am SO. MUCH. HAPPIER having chosen Teri as my person than Aedmond. If I’d realized there’d be such a difference I would have tried this route so much sooner.
