As We Know It

by Jaime Scribbles Games, PMscenarios

Price (US): $14.99

Included In: Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality

Genre: Visual Novel

Pitch: Can love bloom in an underground bunker?

My expectations: Most of the visual novels I've reviewed have been extremely light on player input, so it's heartening that five of the 14 screenshots along the side of the Itch listing show some decision being made. They've also included a screenshot of the settings screen, which is a baffling choice. Did they envision a potential customer thinking, "I don't know. This game looks pretty good, but I'm not reaching for my credit card until I see visual proof that it has separate sliders for music and sound volume."

The developers asked for $2,500 on Kickstarter and ended up with closer to $3,000, which isn't that much money for a six-person team, but it's a heck of a lot better than your typical indie visual novel budget.

Review:

It’s sometime in the future. If fighting over scraps doesn’t kill you, the sandstorms will.

But things are looking up for Ashlynn and her mom. Or rather, down. They’ve been accepted into the underground bunker of Camden, where the showers are cold and the conversations are steamy.

In theory, at least. I completed four in-game weeks—about an hour and a half—and despite earning a few relationship points, none of the encounters with my fellow eligible bunker-dwellers seemed to be going anywhere.

My worklife fell into a similar rut. A cup of coffee in the morning, followed by a day of cleaning and filing at the clinic. There was a bit of excitement when a stomach virus hit our closed society, but two days later, we were right back to the old routine.

As We Know It is flat, repetitive, and devoid of character. Whatever intrigue there might be in the premise of love in the post-apocalypse is undone by pedestrian writing. Is there political corruption in the heart of Camden, or are good leaders sometimes forced to make bad calls? What are we willing to trade for security? The game raises big questions, but I’m not sticking around for answers.

+ Lots of choices. Most of the time it's easy enough to predict the outcome a choice will have, and it's easy to back up and choose again if you're not satisfied—helpful when trying to romance a particular character. + Outside of occasional comma splices, the writing is grammatically solid—a rarity in the world of indie visual novels. + Generally clean and competent presentation. I wasn't wowed by the audio or visuals, but everything is fine. + Big, bold character names at the top of text boxes, so it's always clear who's talking. (Okay, I'm really only mentioning this because I forgot to say something yesterday, when I reviewed a visual novel where there was rarely any indication about who was speaking.)

– Characters have personality traits, but they don't have personality. There's no life in these words. – Everyone has one pose, with changing facial expressions. Characters are drawn with slightly exaggerated features, but they're still pretty close to human proportions. The faces need to be a lot bigger. Subtly shifting eyebrows and lips aren't enough to create visual interest when most of the screen is filled with static backgrounds and static bodies. – The relationship point system is unintuitive. I'll share an emotional, flirty scene with a character and not see any change in my score. I'll bump into that character in the hallways and keep walking, and suddenly our love level has jumped up 20%...which doesn't seem to affect how we act or the things we discuss. – When welcoming newcomers to the city, the mayor talks about earning beads that can be traded for luxury items. Where's that game? How about a little life management and simulation in this dating sim? Instead, jobs are just a couple of mandatory, repetitive text boxes each day, and you're always provided with whatever you need, without any budgeting or decisions to be made. Boooring.

🧡🧡🤍🤍🤍 Bottom Line: Given the choice between life on the surface or returning to As We Know It, I'll take my chances with the sandstorms, thanks.

brienne of tarth x jamie lannister summary

[redwolf17]

For the ask game: Viserion, other, wall, north

Viserion:

"Stark will kneel," Lord Mathis said, impatient, "just as Torrhen knelt to Your Grace's namesake. True, Viserion is not the equal of Balerion, but she is still a dragon."

Other:

Olyvar looked at the parchments that lay on the table in front of them. The illuminations of trees and flowers were as numerous as they were carefully drawn and colored, each labeled with a scribbled note. Other pages were covered with rough sketches of circles and triangles, squares and seven-sided stars.

Wall:

"My lord, setting the realm aright will be the work of years," King Aegon replied. "But such work will be for naught if the Others and their wights descend from the north to kill us all. There has been no word from the Night's Watch since the solstice, nor from King Robb since he marched for the Wall. Does that not trouble you, my lords?"

North:

When they first landed at Dragonstone, Olyvar had hoped to fly north as soon as possible, perhaps in third moon. Not to stay, of course. No, he had meant to meet with King Robb and Lord Snow, take the measure of the war that lay ahead, and return south to gather his forces. Then Cersei and Jaime Lannister had blown up King's Landing with the help of his grandfather Aerys's malevolent shade, and Olyvar had been putting out fires ever since.

"it's a twin thing" for Jay and Irey😊

Sorry you said “Titans/Omega Game Night”, right?

——————

It’s all Mar’i’s fault. She’s the one that suggested for this game night it be siblings groups against sibling groups. And being the intelligent princess she is, she hit just enough egos to make it happen.

The Only Children worked as referees during Scategories, Cards against Humanity, and, finally, Taboo over the four groups.

The Batsiblings that showed up—Cassandra, Jason, Dick, Tim, Damian, and Duke—could be a ruthless team…when they weren’t busy fighting over rules and who’s right. Their competitive nature would be their down fall for sure.

The SuperBrothers—Jon, Kon, and Chris—bicker almost as much as the Bats, if more about each other than the games. If it wasn’t for the prize of bragging rights over Bats, they’d probably be worse off.

The Reyes siblings worked nearly seamlessly together, really just using the time to mess with the other groups. As Jaime’s husband, Bart had joined their group. There was confusion when Jaime and Milagro slipped into Spanish, leaving Bart out on accident.

Last but not least…the twins. With as often as they bicker day to day, the other teams thought they were easy contenders. After all, there’s only two of them.

With the points being cumulative, the twins were behind the Bats by 21 points. All that’s left is their round in Taboo. Cassie sits beside Irey, buzzer in hand to catch any slip up.

“Alright, Ires,” Jai points between them, “Let’s show these amateurs how wombmates do it.”

“Ready?” Mar’i’s finger hovers over the start button, “And….Go!”

Irey flips the first card over and—

“Star Wars Prequels!”

“Flop!”

Flip

“Book!”

“Genre!”

Flip

“Lian!”

“Snack!”

Another flip and a snort from his girlfriend.

“DAD!”

“NERD!”

That continues for two minutes, the twins going at normal speed, wracking up more points until—

“Time!” Mar’i calls, doing little to hide her smile, “How many’s that, Damian?”

She says it so sweetly, it could be seen as genuine, but she’s got that mischievous glint in her eyes.

Damian grits his teeth as he counts, “…22…”

“Absolutely not!” Tim slaps his hand down, “I demand a redo!”

The twins glance at each other. Though fraternal, they get identical smiles on their faces. Irey turns to the other sibling groups, “Okay. You choose a word. If Jai can give me a clue, max 3 words, we win. Deal?”

After a small conference, they all nod. Irey leaves the room as the word is scribbled down. Jai looks it over and snorts, “Really?”

“Yes really!”

“Your loss.” Jai hands the paper back to Kon, and waits for his sister to sit back down. “Alright, sissy, this one’s for ultimate bragging rights.”

The Bats watch the twins microexpressions, the Supers listen to their heartbeats. Neither twin does or says anything for a second. A loped sided grin forms on Jai’s face.

“Second grade trauma.”

Irey’s eyes sparkle, “SEUSSICAL THE MUSICAL!”

“FUCK YEAH!” The twins jump into the air, arms flying in victory. Dancing around the defeated groups, the pair start to chant.

“WOMBMATES! WOMBMATES! WOMBMATES!”

“They cheated!” Jaime shouts.

“No way could they get that!” Kon adds, “HOW DID YOU GET THAT?!”

“It’s a twin thing!” They say at the same time, still dancing around.

Lian leans over to Colin, “I’ve never been happier to be an only child.”

“I’ve never been happier to be an orphan.” He agrees with a snort, watching Mar’i laugh at her familiy’s faces. “Do I want to know how she got ‘Seussical’ from ‘second grade trauma’?”

“I’ll tell you later.”

ROUND 2.

pls 8 Brienne got game & 14 Robb zombie & 17 television doesn't have to be soulless

8. brienne got game

inspired by the below text post

where of course jaime is the wife, here have some notes i scribbled upon waking up in the middle of the night lol:

after awhile brienne just fucks with ppl and openly hits on jaime

pinches his ass and shit

other ppl just ???? what just happened

jaime gets his ass pinched, lifts the divider and asks brienne if he can buy her groceries

cashier like ….how does she have that much game what just happened

Bouncer stopping her but letting Jaime go in

Jaime buys two tickets to a movie, but Brienne gets stopped and told she needs to buy a ticket

14. robb zombie

That one about how what Stoneheart wants is to give Robb the kiss of life

Riverlands take 2: Where brienne needles jaime to try and dismantle his defenses

this quote i saw from translondo here on tumblr that burrowed into my marrow, about a black sails ship: "Silvermadi is sweet and they deserve to be happy together, they’re supportive and gentle and good, happy silvermadi ending is the best outcome…but Silver and Madi were both in love with someone who didn’t really exist and their value systems are not properly aligned and Silver’s betrayal was so deeply opposed to Madi’s central beliefs that they can’t properly reconcile and even if they did it would be sad and never quite right and take years"

Timeskip---reports of BWB movements, of the wolfpack, of Blackfish and Addam, the fall of KL, the flight of Cers with Euron, Dragons and wights

FIN--- They pass each other at Harrenhal, and we hope for them again.

17. television doesn’t have to be soulless

A sesame street au Yes you read that right

endless wip meme!

... It's a good thing I didn't close my tumblr stuff, huh. I will probably mostly be using this place to post to the main @jaime-scribbles-games account, while using the Mastodon @PMscenarios@peoplemaking.games for personal stuff. We also have a Jaime Scribbles Discord If you need help understanding Mastodon let me know, my server has made a great list of gaming/gamedev-related places to consider an account on here and an intro to Mastodon here Hope I manage to keep in contact with all the people I've gotten to know over the years that I've mostly chatted with on Twitter

August Progress

Just a quick progress update, since most other locations across the web are up to speed!

Draft for In Blood is complete, Brenton’s revisions are complete and I’m currently working on Tristin and Karon’s revisions.

Artwork is being worked on all the time <3 We’ve only got a handful of CGs left and 1 BG

Music in also in progress, with some really cute/spooky tracks completed

Brenton’s VA has started to record his lines! 

Brenton’s route was submitted to beta-players who backed us on Kickstarter. Beta feedback was good, and we’re planning to tweak his endings and look at the affection mechanic.  We’ll also be adding a bit more spicy content as requested. (Is saying spicy... too spicy for tumblr now??)

Lots of fun things coming down the line! Stay tuned!

Now I retreat back into my cave so I can work on those edits~

Pinewood Island

A group of students, their Professor and his T.A. arrive on a secluded island for a 4 week long science program. The plan is to study the natural flora on the island while earning double the credit.

This is interrupted when the Professor is killed after an impromptu beach party. When they try to call for help they find that the phones do not work. There is no boat, and no way to contact the mainland.

A charter boat isn't set to arrive for them until the 4 weeks are over.

You must decide where to focus your energy, and who to focus it on. Mistakes can be deadly.

Some of the students start to crack under the pressure. Try to survive and solve the murder while potentially indulging in romance.

Features:

Customizable protagonist

3 male romance options

20+ endings

10 in-game Achievements

55,000+ words

Character 21 , 22 and 31 peace, sleep and life respectively.

Hi, @1nsaankahanhai-bkr! Again, an answer too late, but thanks for bearing with me!

Character 21- Peace = Catelyn Stark, Peace

Catelyn had always cherished peace, cultivated it all around her, built a beautiful, sheltered life for herself and her family away from the seething rush of the Southern reaches.She looks into Ned’s conflicted eyes and softly urges him to take up the King’s offer, knowing in her bones that their transient peace was on the verge of breaking.Yet, what else could she do? She lived above all for her family, her duty and their honor. She and Ned could not refuse the King, could not abandon their duty.Catelyn rued that decision for the rest of her life. She should have held on to her Ned, to their children, to their peace and happiness and plenty, she thinks on cold nights, when she tosses and turns as the world teeters on to war.Catelyn knew that she had lost her peace.

Character 22- Sleep = Jaime Lannister, Sleep

In his childhood, Jaime slept the peaceful sleep of the innocent, sheltered child, secure in his home, under his parents’ protecting hands, holding on tightly to mama.Jaime grew up when mama left. (He refused to think that she died, mama couldn’t die like that.) Not for him the security of sleep in mama’s arms anymore. Father said that he was a big boy now, that he should be responsible. Jaime knew that. He was Tyrion’s big brother now, and Tyrion needed him. He’d promised mama that he’d protect Tyrion.So Jaime learnt to sleep alone (never truly alone, for he had Cersei, but they were one).When Jaime left to squire, he’d sleep as soon as his head hit his pillow, sleep the deep sleep of the tired child. Every day, he’d awake refreshed and raring to go.Before the Battle of the Kingswood Brotherhood, Jaime couldn’t sleep. He was too excited to. He felt that finally, finally, he was becoming a man.Jaime kept vigil the night they won over the Smiling Knight. He didn’t sleep. He thought about the oath of Knighthood, of protecting innocents, of his vow to his mama. He kept thinking all night. Of whether Father would be proud, whether he would be able to live up to the oaths of Knighthood. Of course he would, he thought, dismissing that thought easily. He was Jaime Lannister, and the world was in his hands.Tossing and turning in his bed in the White Sword Tower, ears still ringing with screams (the screams of the people who were burned, the screams in his dreams, of those he loved; Mama, Cersei, Tyrion, so many people screaming), he’d remember the certainty with which he had taken the oath of the Kingsguard, the certainty that he had lost.He regained his certainty the day he slit Aerys Targaryen’s throat, only to lose it the same day. Jaime’s eyes turn wide and horrified as he stares at the Princess Elia’s ravished body, at the mangled remains of what used to be Rhaenys and Aegon.He was haunted in his sleep by the ghosts of those he failed, and he remained so haunted forevermore. Haunted by the words that hurt so, for all that he pretended they did not. Kingslayer, Oathbreaker, man without honour. By the shades of those he should have protected. By the shadow of the man he could have been…

Character 23- Life = Eddard Stark, Life

Ned slipped in and out of reality in the silence of the Black Cells. Sitting there, alone in the dark, he thought about his own life, for there was naught else he could do, except fear for his children and his wife.Is that all his life had amounted to? Fear?No, Ned thought. He had adhered to honor, taught his children the best that he could, and yet. Ned knew that he could die and he didn’t want to leave his life undone. He wanted to hold Cat close, to see his children grow, he wanted so many things…Ned took a deep breath. He was to lose his life one day, he had known that a long time ago. Soldiers lose their lives in war, and this was no less than war.He could see bright light somewhere, light that made him flinch. When he opened his eyes, Lord Varys was there.Ned did not pay attention to the man’s words, until he said Sansa’s name. Sansa. Gods. His daughter.In a split second, Ned made his decision. His honor was important, yes, but not as much as his children’s lives. As Sansa’s life, and Arya’s.If he had to hold on to his life at the cost of his honor, he would. For all the people he loved.
