Bat is correct! Each background has unique characters that they meet early in the story. For Wastelander, it is Theo. For Orphan, it is Spencer, and for Military, it is Maria and the Abyssal Knights.

It is just one of the ways your background influences the story and helps add replayability!

I have plans for some that! I want there to be opportunities for jealousy.

Thank you! I am working hard on part two of chapter two.

I'm glad to hear it! Hope you enjoy and sorry about that

Hey, when you say from the beginning do you mean from the start screen? Would you be able to send a screenshot so I can see? Thank you and sorry about that!

Your words really mean a lot. I am trying to write a nuance game so to hear that you can see my efforts and appreciate it means the world to me. I'm not always getting it right but comments like this encourage me to keep writing and hone my craft so I can improve with each update.

I can't promise more Spencer in part two but Chapter Three may have a surprise for you if you play your cards right! In the meantime I'm working on art for Spencer so hopefully that helps to fill the hole of their absence.

Sorry about that but thankfully you could play without too much trouble. Thank you for the feedback and helping me improve the game! I really appreciate it.

I HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM! The variable was wrong and that is why it is not showing up for Orphan/Military background players. It is now fixed. You are able to choose fireside chat on the second day as well now.

That is strange. When I try to recreate the bug, I am able to choose the campfire chat after exploring. What background are you playing as? Maybe that is causing the bug. I tested this with the Wastelander background.

Hey, thank you for the feedback! You need to start a fresh save unfortunately. The end of the update will say "End of Demo" so you still have lots of content left to explore.

So sorry about that but I'm glad you enjoying it.

First, I need you to know I had tears in my eyes from laughing. I did not expect to wake up and read the words, "Terrorist first love", but it made my day. My friend has proposed making the shipname of MC and Spencer be terrorist first love lmao.

I'm really glad you are enjoying the game, and so happy that I seem to be achieving my goal of making unique and distinct playthroughs with the three backgrounds. Chapter Two Part One is close to releasing, so I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

You will love chapter two then because you will get more time with Theo! Chapter Two Part One is almost complete. I am just finishing up the last section and then you will soon be able to see Theo again. Thank you for your kind words!

Thank you! I'm always happy to hear when someone is invested in the story.

I'm bed bound for at least a week so I'll be good.

Thank you! If nothing else I'm enjoying the time off from work to brainstorm scenes

I'm home safe and on the mend! Thank you for the support. I'll make sure not to take any risks. 

Thank you for the lovely comment <3 I was discharged today and resting at home now. I'll make sure not to push myself too hard!

I can promise that I have no plans on abandoning this game any time soon! I just have a terrible curse with technology.

You will be able to see Nico soon!

Thank you! I'm slowly chipping away at chapter two and hopefully I will have more to share soon.

I'm glad you are enjoying the story so far! I should have a new update at the end of Jan. You will get some more insight into the world and soulforge warriors.

As for what you have said here, you have a good eye for detail! Really picking up on those clues.

Thank you! That is high praise and I hope I can keep being deserving of it. I will release the first half of Chapter Two at the end of January.

Thank you!

I appreciate the enthusiasm lol. Also thank you! I am working hard to make sure the update is at least 20k words.

Thank you! I will work hard to bring chapter two in january.

I am making preparations to create a discord server for the game. Will look for betas for future chapters in that later in the month. Definitely consider joining! Thank you

But you did put yourself on Sergeant Bedi's watchlist so congratulations, new content unlocked!

I had a lot of my current chapters already prepared and just needed polishing. From chapter 2 onwards it will be slower but I am still aiming for 20k updates a month if I can manage it.

Thank you for the kind words!

Thank you!

Thank you! Mass effect is one of my favourite game franchises ever, also dragon age, so I was inspired by it.  I'm a beginner to coding so not sure how to code it but I would love to add something like that for the names!

I'm happy that you are enjoying the story and I'll try not to burn myself out.

Yes, I am not sure how many broken variables there are but I do know all the backgrounds have been infected. I was making preparations for chapter two and noticed that some variables were missing so in order for things to trigger properly I will need to redo it.

I want you to know that your comment made me giggle, thank you! Also Spencer is considered a secret RO/partial RO because they will not always be available like the main six.

You will meet Spencer later in the game and can try romance even if not on the orphan background. However, what you decide to do in the will greatly shift things so anything is possible.

.... also I just realised that I forgot to mention that ROs can die in the game. I should probably make a post.

Thank you for your lovely comment and I'm glad you like the UI!

It is definitely going to be very interesting. This path in particular is going to showcase the nuance I am trying to have in my story and world-building. I don't want things to just be taken at face value.

I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying the game so far. I'm working hard to finish the orphan background so chapter one is fully complete. I'll post an update when I'm closer to completing it so people know when to expect it.

If you want to see the other side to that, you'll be able to in the 'choose to leave' branch. I'm still writing and coding that but I'll make a post as soon as I am ready to post it! Also no worries, you explained it perfectly.

Thank you, that means so much.

Thank you, this honestly made me so happy! Nothing makes me happier than people wanting to do more than one playthrough.

I highly recommend trying every background (it reason I made more save slots) and seeing what each route offers. Every background will have different information about the world and insight into what is to come later in the game.

That is high praise, thank you! Perhaps it is because there is a mix of fantasy in the sci-fi? I can't claim that I am fully sci-fi.

You will get your answer, somewhat, in chapter two. I will say this much though, you are very warm with your theory. 

The ship is a normal naval warship out in the ocean. The setting of the story is in Azish (name of the planet) and you are in Voxis, capital city of Strize (country you live in). No intergalatic traveling sadly.

The technology level is high but only in regards to military development. Humanity has focused all their energy into trying to defeat the exilliums that the huge leaps in advancements were centred around that and doesn't really expand to other areas.

So there are flying cars, hoverboards, nanobots, AI assistants etc but they are very much for those in the military mostly. In the wastelander background they live very low tech lives and orphan it a mixed bag.
