Any hints about what will be in the next update? 

Developer

- Claudette's route

- Beau's epilogue

- Band tags

- Record label objectives

- Balance tweaks, typos, bugs, etc

Sorry, and what about Seth's route?

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?

Developer (2 edits)

I was aiming for 1-3 years, you're correct. The length of the main story varies from player to player, so disregard the starting date as an indicator of time. I do not have concrete ages for any of the characters, but Emmitt can drink in Open Mode so he's at least 21. 

I kept the ages hazy so I wouldn't paint myself into a corner and the player could project whichever they liked. My personal projection is Emmitt starts at 18, ends Story Mode at 20 and comes back in Open Mode at 22. If I've stated Emmitt is 20 in Open Mode, that is a mistake because he should be at least 21. Do you remember where it was said?

Emmitt was at Tracy's Bar and asked Owen for a brew. Robin laughed and narrated that the law said he couldn't drink for another year.

Developer (3 edits)

Ah okay I can see the confusion. The line reads: "I grinned. Even if he was mature enough before, the stupid law said he needed another year. Now he had plenty." (At least in my current version. If it was re-written, my  bad.) She's recalling the time he was 20. I'll fix to be more clear.

Okay, now it reads: "I grinned. The last time he was here, he still needed another year to drink legally. This would be his first \"brew.\""

Ah, my bad, then. Thanks for clarifying.

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

Developer

There's a story scene that triggers that unlocks the other instruments.

ok thanks!

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.

Developer (2 edits)

If you MUST know ... he threatened to hurt his cat.

As a cat person, I shouldn't be laughing so hard. That is absolutely horrible. Wtf, Sebastian? XD

I knew it!!

he used to do porn

saw this commented before and idk if theres a solution but sebastian left so i cant progress with wizz

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. 

It was common back in the day to give your friends a nickname just one letter off. For example, Rick with Dick, Meg with Peg, and then of course, Robby (aka Robin) with Bobby. It's super cute.

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!

Developer

Thank you, you're so sweet.

You're always going to have auditions, but you need to decline Dallas' offer for a ride, so that you ride with Beau and Emmitt.

There is a scene with him the next morning if his affection is higher than Emmitt's, but riding home with him in the rain is enough for his option to come up. Ignoring his comment in his intro helps with affection.

excuse me does this game have a discord channel so i can recommend this to my friends

still going to tell them even if there is not one cause among vn this is awesome

I know the game will never be finished, but I absolutely loved this game and played it multiple times last year, every now and then I check for updates! There was a couple of bugs when I first played but I'm certain they're fixed by now so I wont bother with telling lmao. I hope one day this does get finished or even in the far future (and it doesn't get finished) that it would be remade!

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.

Developer

Favorite? Wow, thank you. We love you too <3

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.

Tried running through Wine (first time using it!) and it seems to work fine. :)

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.

Developer (2 edits)

Well, it's completely empty! But if anyone wants to join, here's our Discord: https://discord.gg/zNvpYvK ! :) I post it to my twitter as well.


edit: I will make you a mod if you join

Thank you so much!! I've just joined and I'm excited for 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.

Developer

Wow, that means a lot to us. Really. We tried to make a game that we would want to play. 

We're still working on it, albeit slowly. If you have any questions, you can pop into our discord: https://discordapp.com/invite/zNvpYvK

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.

Developer

Thank you!

There should be multiple pages to the settings area. I think it's on the last page.

Thank you so much, the problem was that I downloaded the game on the itch.io website and thought it was the latest update. I then updated it in the game and found the the settings area. Thanks for responding so quickly.

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.

Developer

Xander, Faust, Collin and Wizz - yes!

Thx ! x)

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!

Developer (1 edit)

That's so nice to hear.

I've been asked that before and I never have a specific voice in mind for her. There's so many that would work for her. I couldn't pick just one, but this one is closest to my brain voice (Liz Granite):  http://magnatune.com/artists/albums/breaker-more?song=7

Oh wow!! Thank you so much for replying!


Thank you as well for the music/artist recommendation as well! I think it's a wonderful choice! Ahh the moment I heard her voice I was like, this definitely feels like her!! I'm so ecstatic , I have a voice to put to imagine with the dialogue now! ovo

Also also, I haven't finished all of the routes yet so I just wanted to say I'm really excited to see where this game will go/continue!

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 .

Developer

You can change the button to the "c" key in the game options.

But I don't have the cheats menu....like at all it's just not there like it evaporated .

Developer

Even after changing the button? Did you see it before and now its gone?

It was never there to begin with from my knowledge, do I have to update it ?

Developer

If you're talking about the game's help screen, You must be IN GAME for it to work. It will not work from the main menu. F1 does something different for some people on some OS, so I included an option to toggle the key needed to press to the letter "c" on your keyboard. In order to toggle this, you must go into the game setting and go into the "Advanced" tab (button near top) to go to the page where it is on.


This is what my screen looks like(also I am in game)

Developer

Oh wow. Yeah try updating. Cheat menu has been inherent to the game for a long time. I wonder what build you have.

I absolutely love this game, and I probably won't ever get tired of it. Out of the "main" romances, Dallas is my favourite by far. Such sweet, sweet agony. 

Question: Will Wizz and the others get a CG too, or is that just for E, D and B?
