I know you're all excited for more content. When my life settles down a bit, I'm sure I'll write up a storm. I have the outline, the ideas ...

If anyone wants to help me, like with writing scenes, outlines, forum posts, etc that would be great ... You can email me at maselphie AT gmail.

Hey, awesome game! I wish I found this gem sooner. I only have a problem, I'm on Dallas' route and my relationship score with Emmitt is very low. I can't play gigs because of that and therefore I can't get gifts for him so I'm stuck. What should I do? I'm out of money.

hello hellloooooo haven't checked in in a while,gosh lol have there been any new updates? :)

Hi,

I just love love your game, thank you so much for making it. I think I'm in love with Beau (Side question how is is full name pronounced?), oh and how do I unlock Faust?, just to unlock him I finished Dallas's route even whilst feeling like I was cheating on my Beau. oh and is there a cheat menu that I can access?  if so then please tell me how.

Anways thank you so so much for the game, please keep up the good work.

Is Emmitt's story at the open end complete???? 

hi hi still loving and supporting! are we still on for a full release? a little worried with no word for so long D: would be happy to send some funding if needed?

Hello! Really enjoying the game thus far--blasted through Beau's route on Story Mode and now playing through Open Mode. It seems like not all of the available characters/routes unlock just by playing through one route, and I don't think it's included in the walkthrough. Is there a list somewhere of which routes/modes unlock which characters? Thanks so much! 

Edit: I think there may also be a glitch with song recording in Open Mode? During the recording process, I can see the song gaining in popularity, but then the final screen shows popularity of -1 -> -1 or -99 > -99. Both times this has happened has been when I recorded "Classic" songs. 

Edit 2: Another likely (very minor) glitch-- after signing to Piccolo, I noticed that in the expenses report it deducts the label cut, but says 0% rather than 75% in brackets as it should be. 

Sort of an irrelevant question but are any of the characters LGBTQIA+?

Hello guys! Is anyone still working on this game?

Anyway, I'd just like to congratulate everyone who has worked on it so far! It's amazing! I've been playing it for 3 days straight now and I absolutely love it! It's such a breath of fresh air to have a protagonist who actually has a personality! (although Robin's might be a little too much at times... haha - but I still love her <3 ) I've laughed and cried with this game and I'm so grateful that you all have put in so much effort to make this game, thank you all wonderful people! <3 I feel like I've found a real gem here.

That being said, I've found some error bugs and weird french grammar on this game and I wonder if I should post them here? 

So I know you're still working on the game and just busy rn, but any chance we can get a tiiiiny hint on the rest of the epilogues? Or really anything to tide us over >.< basically crazy about Beau but it looks like they're in a really rocky place when the epilogue preview ends :( 

also THANK YOU for making this! I'm a decent writer and would be down to help you read over/edit any writing if that'd be helpful!

will gladly start sending funding if it means completion D:

I am working diligently to get a huge update soon. I've reached out to a writer to help me along.

Can I just start off by saying you are absolutely amazing. I can thank you enough for still working all this time to put out more for your players even after what you already put out is not only extremely entertaining but so high quality. I've had this game downloaded on my computer for almost two years and I constantly go back to play it again. It is by far one of the best dating sims/visual novels I have ever played (and I have played a lot haha) Not only is the story so very well written, it's extremely realistic. The way she talks to herself, the way there are small sounds of the tv in the background or the bed creaking, the backgrounds and everything.

Your game made me feel like I WAS Robin, trying to prove to myself and everyone else that I was going to make a name for myself.

Hello! I posted a couple times on this message board/forum/etc. in the past a while ago, and came to check up on this project to see how it's going. I'm so glad a new update will be coming soon! I'll definitely have to replay the game before that, though! Thanks so, so much for continuing to work on this despite how hectic life is and how difficult it must be to find the motivation to keep going. This is still one of my favorite VNs on itch.io and I look forward to the update! <3

I don't get it. I try to romance Emmitt, he likes me a lot but no matter what I do, when he finally makes me cookies and confesses he likes me, me (Robin) always harshly refuses him. What do I do wrong? Also... Even if it is indeed my fault I find it a bit unfortunate design that the romance fails because _my_ character's (Robin) does not do what I want her to do - there is no possibility to accept his proposal.

So happy this is still going! ;^; 

With the new update- will it be the final full update for the game, completing open mode, then just any bug patches, or is only certain content coming out? If so- what content?

Hey, where can we check for new releases? Is there any way we can be notified? For example, we could all send you our e-mails so you could have an e-mail list to send news about the game. Or you could just link us to a page where the new release would be, I myself am obsessed enough to check on a monthly or even weekly basis.

Hey I just wanted to ask if open-ended mode had an "end point" to play through because the Memorabilia screen still has all the scenes I've already watched in my open-ended playthrough locked. 

Hi, I recently downloaded this VN and I really like it a lot. Im trying out the non prem version first, I had planned on buying the prem content on the next pay day, However, I just now got a traceback crash that has halted my playing and I'm not sure what to do. Any advice?

Hey there!

I've been super excited to play this game, but each time I try to get past the first goal (Raising Emmitt's Music) I get an error and can't continue. I've tried making a new band three times as well as running the game as an administrator, but none of that's worked.

This is the error I keep getting:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

If there is anything I can do differently let me know!

I keep torturing myself checking for updates all the time. Honestly feel like crying at the thought of no more RockRobin,

Please tell me, are the other routes still going to be released? Or I shouldn't wait anymore?

Either way, thank you so much for the story that's been released so far!

I wanted to say thank you to everyone who posted recently. Sometimes the guilt gets me real bad and your posts really helped me through that. I feel ready to work on the game again.

One thing that would help me is if you guys would give me impression of what you THINK might happen on Seth's route or would simply like to see. The path is half-written (fully  outlined) and I stopped because I kinda felt like the path lost its steam, so I am looking for some inspiration.

I think it's obvious he's shut himself in and doesn't want anyone to be close to him,  but still he yearns for companionship. To be honest I think that when he said that loads of girls walked around with his writing on their body isn't true, for some reason I think Robin is probably either the only one he's slept with in a long time or atleast one of the few, I don't believe he's slept with many people...I also think that he feels that he and Robin are similar and Robin being well..Robin is probably the only person who does not judge him on either his behaviour or the choices he has made.  She knows what it's like to be treated like Sh*t and their romance will probably take some time to really develop...and be really, really passionate. because they are both strong willed and creative, It starts with them obviously being attracted to each other and deepens because everytime Seth will try to push Robin away, she won't go. because that's how she is, she's there for you, she sticks with her friends, she's loyal....atleast that's what I think about her :)....and it's kind of what she's showed in other routes, either friendship or romance. 

I still can't figure out Seth. On the one hand he seems indifferent, depressive and disappointed of everything in life, on the other hand he seems very emotional, passionate and determined. I think if he falls for Robin, his feelings might help him to get rid of his depression. Also I think Robin will motivate him to achieve his potential. I'm sure they can teach other many things and help each other to overcome their fears and psychological traumas. Also, I might be wrong but  Seth strikes me as a jealous type (the fight in front of Beau where Seth asks Robin to choose between one of them)… I repeat that I might be wrong, but I think if Seth have feelings for Robin, he will want her all to himself. It's one of the reasons why I expect some steamy and passionate scenes between them. Sorry for my bad English. I hope I didn't write anything stupid. I really love your game. It's one of my favorite otome games and I have to say that I've played lots of otome.

Wish you lots of inspiration. Looking forward for Seth's route!

Any hints about what will be in the next update? 

I'm a tad confused about the timeskip in Open Mode. I had assumed it was a year, based on Robin's hair and the month. Which would mean two years after Story Mode starts, but Emmitt's stated to be twenty in Open Mode. So what exactly is the timeline between the two?

question about faust. i downloaded this once before and unlocked faust and he could do all instruments but now he cant unless im in no scenes mode. is that supposed to happen? i couldve swore I had him as a drummer in the past in open mode with all scenes. also robin's outfits kinda randomly keep changing at times

Replaying Faust's route! I'm a lil curious of some things, this German has just like totally captured my heart.

What exactly did Sebastian threaten him with? My curiosity is KILLING ME.

Hi! First things first, I absolutely love this game, it was very well made and worthy of the praise it has gotten! It brought different emotions and made kept me invested which is always great! I do have two different questions. I noticed that Emmitt called Robin "Bobby" more often than not. Is that a typo or an inside joke? Just for my own curiosity. Secondly, in Dallas's route, I got a scene where I got my 'Baby' back and we stood outside and talked about it and him repairing the strings for me and everything. In the end, it goes back to me never having gotten it back with the main story. Is this a glitch in the story? Again, just wondering for my own curiosity. 

I've loved this game for years. (The stories still totally hold up to multiple replays.) I really look forward to the rest of the planned content being released! (Seth!!! >o<) I really appreciate that you're still around replying to things and working on the game. Thank you for making something so cool!

This is probably my favorite visual novel, and i love it to smithereens. The first time i played this game I was in high school and i fell in love with the writing, the characters, really just all of it. I was so amazed at how the characters felt so alive. Now im in college and ive finally gotten around to replaying it again. Every time I play it i fall in love with it again. The story just feels so real and strangely relatable, despite me not being a musician whatsoever lol. I love all of the characters so much, i dont think i could pick a favorite! Thank you so much for all of your hard work creating this game, this game really rocks.

I can't get this to work on Mac. Something to do with my Ren'Py installation maybe? It just won't start, no error, no process running. It gives the usual "unverified developer" on initial launch, I right click and "open", then "open", then double click... and nothing. Is it just me? Latest OSX.

As an aside, if there is enough interest in a Discord channel to discuss this VN I would be happy to set it up, even if I'm not at all involved with who is still developing the game. I only extend the offer because I love to see discussion of it and I feel like RockRobin isn't talked about enough. It's a gem of a project and my all time favourite VN even if I haven't played it in years. This may be personal bias speaking, so anyhow - if there's already a discord for it, I would love to join it.

So I know this game is a bit older (at least compared to the world of "otome" games), but I do have to say I love everything about this game! I feel like the characters really have depth and perspective and it really adds volumes to the game itself. I like the aspect of managing your own band (well, should I say, Robin's band) andI adore that that was a huge aspect of the game. I felt like I was really playing, really getting involved, whereas with some other games that ave a similar style to this I feel a bit disassociated. Including an open ended mode just made the entire game even better! My personal favorite being Wizz, which is funny, because before playing his route I couldn't stand him, that really shows how many hidden layers each character has. This is one of the best games I've played in a long time, intoxicating and really draws you in! I wish this game was more popular and had open ended modes for each character and I try to tell everyone who will listen to give this game a shot.

Hello,  this is  my favourite otome game of all time. The characters are so elaborate. I loved the game so much I decide to contribute  so I donated and discovered you could get premium content. The problem is that my f1 key is broken, I saw in the thread that you told someone to change it to the C key but I don't seem to be able to do that… (Am I that dumb ? (｡￫∀￩｡) Well I Don't if you will respond but thank you for making such a good game even though its not finished and stay safe <3.

Hey, love the game. I have a question though, I've completed the story mode and have not tried the open ended one. I know the prologues haven't been completed yet. But did you manage to complete Faust, Seth, Collin and Wizz's Romance arc ? And is Xander available for dating ? Anyway thanks for your hard work, have a nice day.

After playing RockRobin and listening to the sound track, it really got my curious rock music and bands in general! 0: Thank you! I know Robin is supposed to be a general character, but is there someone in real life she would sound like (such as a voice claim or something?) 

This is such a great game and I got so emotional playing it and I'm really attached to her character, thank you!

So i have the premium code and it tells me to press F1 to get to the cheat menu but when I press it I only get the help menu .

Hey, I'm having a problem with Xander's path. The last scene I get is when Robin and him hang out and go back in front of the diner he used to work at and then I get no other scenes. Am I doing Something wrong ? thanks
