Heheh, I do apologize for stealing him. On the plus side though he'll have an extra helper when he has to edit/reread all his texts. :D
Indeed if the agreement was "I proofread yours, you proofread mine" I'm not sure you made a good move since Roommates length is a bit scary :lol:

I just wish there was another GxG option (romancing the redhaired rival could be fun :D), but I guess it's too late for that now?

Anyway, I'll definitely still pick this up when it comes out because I like the writer's sense of humor :).

What?! Who would want to date her? Nobody, that's who! She's probably a puppy kicker, or something. No plans for her, NOPE.

Though it really is too late to change the main thrust of the story/characters available. So hopefully the main romances are exciting enough :)

This was the exact agreement. And yes it was made in the back of a creepy van. Well, that's where I was anyway.

Oh, I don't know... A cold, glaring bespectacled nemesis, always clashing with the pc, sparks flying... I may just have to write some fanfiction after I finish the game :mrgreen: . As long as she's NOT a puppy kicker, ofc.

I have no doubt that they will be :).


P.S. How big is this game? I've been hearing about the monstrous length, but I don't think I've ever seen an estimation.

Last time I checked was around 180,000 words and was about halfway to the game length, though it has to say that includes both the playable characters. I think will split the game in two based on who you want to play (male/female protagonist) though I haven't made my mind yet.

As I am too lazy to read- does this mean that we can date a male with the male character, and date a female (or two) with the female character? Because that makes me very happy and eager for this game if so!

You can play as male or female main character, and there are 3 straight and 1 gay romance option each.
MAX: ANNE, SALLY & ISABELLA (hetero) RAKESH (gay)
ANNE: MAX, DOMINIC, RAKESH (hetero) ISABELLA (lesbian)

Oh sweetness! *purrs* That's what I thought happened but wanted to be very sure, as I might have been reading wrong... Another game I will have to buy the moment it comes out then. :D

Noo! Don't split them up. I like the idea of a long game with two MC's reminds me of the good old games like Star Ocean 2 :)

Ok looks I was mistaken, the total amount is ONLY (rofl) 120k words. Ok then, so if the final game ends up being around 180-200k I could still sell it at single game, though probably at $24.99 since the game has also a lots of resources, artist should be working on the backgrounds now for example and there are 24 uniques ones (usually my other non-RPG games have 12-15 backgrounds at best).
Anyway, there's time to decide :)
