✭INFAMOUS UPDATE IS HERE ✭

238K -> 457K WORDS

Please read this post before playing! It's finally here! After five months of writing and rewriting and salvaging and crying and sweating and bleeding I finally finished sort of kind of! Firstly, I want to thank you for your patience and understanding over this duration of this rewrite. It was stressful at times but I'm happy with the end result and I hope everyone else will be too :)

This will be the last chapter I release without beta testers/other sets of eyes so expect errors. I can playtest until my fingers turn blue but I'm just one person </3 I'm bound to have missed stuff.

Please let me know of errors! I tested it a few times with no problems but we know how it goes lol

IN THIS CHAPTER THREE UPDATE:

drama

mayhem

chaos

some betrayal

some surprises

just...read it lmao

PROLOGUE - CHAPTER 2 CHANGES:

**chapter two was too large of a file to upload on dd so I had to split it last minute and I uhhhh dont know how that translates in the demo but it should work lol please let me know if its wonky!**

fixed up grammatical errors and typos

expanded some scenes and added some more choices

you can now choose that your mc has "changed" in some way (drinking, no longer drinking, partier, no longer a partier, negative, positive, attached, detached, or a general default. I was asked to add an MC who "gets around" or hookups a lot but I'm still debating on whether I'll add that since there's already quite a bit lolol)

you can choose to have changed your band's genre before/after seven

TECHNICAL CHANGES:

you will be able to explicitly state your sexuality in the beginning. this was a big ask and I apologize for not doing it earlier! I wasn't good at coding when I started and I knew I always wanted to make the genders separate from MC's sexuality but I didn't know how to do that at the start :) So you can still choose the genders of the ROs for story purposes and variety. IF YOU DO NOT SEE ROMANCE OPTIONS THAT IS NOT A BUG. You simply chose a RO gender that doesn't correlate with the sexuality you chose for your MC. Having said that, if you do see a romance option available and it's not supposed to be there please let me know! That means I may have missed it coding-wise.

the stats have been all fixed! I've added all the necessary variables and such. The stat portion of the game has been updated with the appropriate pages but they're not finished. Still, the stats should be fine.

You will now have confessionals in the stat page! The feature still isn't a thing yet because I haven't come up with the confessionals lolol but you can click on it to see what it's about. Essentially, as you progress through the story you will be able to see confessionals from the cast of Infamous throughout. They disappear and appear periodically so if you miss it, THAT'S IT! You won't get a chance to see them again until MC watches an episode where it's relevant.

There is now a: Discography page, Infamous wiki, botb cast and staff page, and other characters page for organization. Those are not finished but they're there!

I changed a few stat names but their functions remain the same.

You will be able to choose how you would like to be described (masculine, feminine, neither, both).

O is officially gender-selectable.

You can set the genders of the ROs at the start or wait till you meet them.

u know i will never not be a seven lawless girlie but something in me is shifting when it comes to orion idk what's happening

Bestie come to the dark side. 😌✨✨

We truly got fed in this update. Orion really shined for me in this update. His interactions with mc had me kicking my giggling and kicking my feet . I also loved the whole seven thing with Cory. I know Cory has her things but she was kinda fine in this update for some reason or maybe that's just me lmaoo. (is her name Cory? I know it starts with a c, the one that's a fellow orion simp with the personality of a raccoon and Regina George combined.). She was making shit happen and I was here for it. 🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️✨

Amy wrote this update so well. It felt like I was truly experiencing reality tv, it was so good. I got myself patreon to read this update bcs I couldn't wait. I've been having infamous brainrot ever since it came out and both the story, the ros and my infamous mcs keeps rotating in my mind like doner kebab meat on that rotating meat stick thing. 😭😭

PLEASKEKEDBDNDMSK just know orion climbed up in the li rankings for me in this update!

and i LOOOOVE cory idec she's so cunty and she's making the mess happen which i truly appreciate 🙏🏻

THIS UPDATE IS SO GOOD UR SO RIGHT I WAS SOOO ENTERTAINED THE WHOLE TIME and also so overwhelmed everytime i replay i find something new i didn't notice or register before and it's so fun! i would be absolutely be watching botb bc even from the pov as a contestant IM HAVING A MFING BALL !

and ur so real for that i stg infamous is always in the back of my mind and then whenever amy says something it's IMMEDIATELY back into the forefront IT'S SICKENING .. also the kebab PLEASE 😭 no i absolutely get 100% just watching our mc's and li's spin round and round <3 SKJSBDBDKSKS

I have Many Thoughts about the infamous update but the one takeaway that I’m rotating in my brain rn is that MAEVE STILL PROTECTS SEVEN!!!!!!! AND IT HURTS!!!!!!!

The staged scene with him right she says she doesn’t care if the song is written about her but she does!!!!! Immensely!!!! But she also still KNOWS HIM and she knows that trying to forcefully pry him open will get the EXACT OPPOSITE effect so she acts nonchalant and acts like she doesn’t care but she still does and even if she doesn’t realize she’s doing she’s trying to protect him!!!! Trying to still CARE about him!!!!

G reign from @infamous-if save me

Also more colour variations under the cut

[gncrezan]

the established orion-romance dreams have gotten to me. what will my delusional visions reveal to me next <3

[valentinesdayinaugust2]

The music industry’s Wunderkind

I feel like they’d sleep with make up on lol

v progress pics and stuff v

To me Gina and Griffin would be very androgynous,,,, so much that their faces look alike (I love androgynous people)

All my friends (the three I have) said I captured making them look like someone who’d get voted sexiest person alive so I hope they’re right,,,

[oddberryshortcake]

Sorry to put you on the spot @rayroseu-reblogs for your tags bUT I WAS DISCUSSING LITERALLY THE SAME THING WITH A FRIEND

Genuinely Silver is essentially just transport at this point which is a shame because he started out as one of the most compelling aspects of chapter 7 as a whole and I yearn to get back to his and his family's (being diafam but also his bio family) story sooooo badly

As fun as it is to re-explore these aspects of the other cast, I was really loving Dipsomania's contributions to the main story and I miss them, and Silver finally got to shine a little bit after being a mostly off in the background kind of character 🥺 and I want more sleeping beauty

Fame: Do you think your character will enjoy fame? Do they think they will? What elements do you think they might struggle with? Do you think they’ll be happy at the end of this road?

Storybeats: If you could design one scene to happen in the story, what would it be? How would it change your character? What would make it so satisfying for the character arc?

Wild card: Tell us something about your MC! Feel free to really just roll us over with an emotional steamroller and crush the souls out of our bodies, if you’d like. (You’re also welcome to choose one of the other questions to answer!)

Seven: Do you have headcanons about their friendship and/or romantic relationship (past or future)? What do you imagine some of their best memories are? What do you think some of Seven’s favourite things about your MC were/are?

To keep the game going, please send an ask to whoever you reblog this from (if they’re playing)! And feel free to tag me in your answers, time permitting I’d love to check them out. Have fun! ♡

Infamous Update (04 - 25 - 2023)

I've never done these before! (so pls excuse this not very organized wall of text) But I did get a few asks on 'schedules' and stuff so I thought I'd update you guys on what I'm doing Infamous-wise.

I am working on the free drabbles. It's taking a bit because Orion's is becoming so long. Like!! It's looking like a chapter at this rate (lol) and that's really a product of my tendency to overwrite. It's coming, though, and I did start working on Maya's, which is fun. That should be up any day now!

I'm also working on the playable POV chapters for patreon. If anyone is wondering what that's going to look like: I explained it a bit here. I have a lot of POVs I want to do, but that also includes coding so it's taking me a bit. Once I have about two done I'll get it out and then add more as I go!

Chapter 2! A lot of people are asking about chapter 2. I have the whole thing outlined. I said on my personal that once I have something outlined I can write it pretty fast, which is true! But since I'm also fixing all the errors in the demo code and polishing the demo, it's going to take a bit longer to get it out. Truthfully, I don't think it'll be too long, though. It took me about two months to write the demo and chapter 2 is a little less intensive than that, so maybe about a month? I won't give any specific dates since I don't know but I'm confident it won't be too long!

That's really all. Basically, it won't be too long of a wait and I'm always working on it. I do have other life responsibilities but I'm lucky to be working a job where it's not too much for me and I can work on Infamous without feeling exhausted, so I do get a lot done! Thank you for your interest as always :) and if there's anything you'd like to suggest, I'm all ears (as always).

Also!! Some lovely people created a discord chat for Infamous! I'll be making a formal post on that soon! (FUN)
