Does MC’s attitude (optimistic, realistic, pessimistic) also have an impact?

Quick Update

Hi, everyone!

Today I focused on fixing A LOT of grammatical issues in chapters 1 and 2, which were written back when my grammar knowledge was very limited. I know this might have turned some readers off over the years, but hopefully this update smooths things out and gives a much better reading experience moving forward. Next up, I’ll be tackling chapters 3 and 4, since they were written around the same time.

As for the next act of chapter 6, it’s almost done! hopefully I would be able deliver it in the next few days, so keep an eye out for the next update.

Thanks, everyone!

It won’t necessarily decide the outcome; rather, it will shape how the MC deals with hardships in the future and can influence which choices become available along the way. Beyond that, the stats are still the main deciding factor.

Do we get to me real musicians/bands in the game or is it all fictional?

Hopefully soon! Gia really doesn’t like being all shady like that :smiling_face_with_tear:.

Maybe not a whole conversation, but you’ll most likely run into some names at some point. I know I’ve been name-dropping a lot in chapter 5 :sweat_smile: .

I suspected that India would be the most popular one. I chose a different one because indie rock is Paul’s :roll_eyes: But I’m still undecided whether Post punk fits the vibe of my band or the Wave better.

But he can do shady things with his usual grace and elegance ; P

I have another question…. Did MC and Paul/a never think about starting a band together? Is it because MC never imagined themselves as a singer? Did no one ever tell them (before Gia) that they had a good voice and could use it?

I like to play as if my band will eventually become one of the first shoegaze bands, thus I picked post punk. Although I guess indie could also work.

I always think we are playing proto- Oasis from the time period and geography.

I hate Oasis. I’m playing proto- Space.

When being placed in that kind of situation, he will absolutely do his best to see things through in the way that only he knows :grin:.

Canonically, it was not an option for them. For starters, both of them are not that great with the guitar, at least not to the point of carrying an entire band together. Paul/Paula is even worse considering they can’t do both the singing and the rhythm playing in a live gig.

For MCs who are not able to play the guitar, they’re canonically bad at it to the point of not being able to play simple open chords. So, even if the idea ever came up, they just knew it couldn’t happen.

But, no. They never thought of it, mostly because our MC was more focused on being a functioning adult.

Quick Update

Hi everyone!

A quick update from me, the last week has been full of fixing grammar, typo, and punctuation issues from chapter 3 all the way to chapter 6. As a result, I haven’t done much in the creative part of the writing. So the second act of chapter 6 is not out yet for now.

But I can say that all the problems regarding all the above have been fixed, so that’s definitely worth an update for now!

The next update will be accompanied with a major announcement, so be sure to keep an eye out for that!

Thank you!
