I feel like someone has asked this, but what are the casts' (main and side) favourite colours?
Is there a Bad Dragon equivalent in Santa Lucia
I'm sure there would be, probably plenty fantasy content to pull from like us. All the characters have human genitalia, so everything else is the realm of imagination.
While waiting for Homecoming got an update. I wanted to try "No More Future" from you guys too. Can i ask which character is finish so i can play their route first?
Hey! No More Future is actually done by Sedge, who isn't a part of StormSinger. It doesn't have any routes, but it's a really good time and I highly recommend playing through it!
Which of the three routes is most fun to write for and which is worst one to write for?
Dev: I enjoy writing all of them equally, haven't really hated working on one yet.
Dzahn: Carlos' is the most enjoyable, but also the one I dread the most.
Is Shay officially part of the main cast? She has alot of screentime if she's just a side character.
She's part of the main cast! At first she was more of a side character, but she got elevated to main cast early on.
What are the pet peeves of the Santa Lucia side characters (Blake, Niall, Sierra, etc.)? "Pet peeves" has the same definition as Anon's - very minor things that don't bother anyone else.
Kane has considered changing the spelling of his name to make it sound phonetically closer to the way its pronounced. He feels bad telling people they're pronouncing his name wrong.
Blake hates learned helplessness. He's a do-er, so when someone complains about stuff they can solve, it annoys him greatly.
Sam's shirt is mauve, not pink. Pink is tacky!
Thomas will go crazy if something isn't where it should be.
Addy finds the whole fascination with celebrities thing dumb.
Niall is insecure about his weight, so jokes about that will get upset him.
Candace gets irritated by people who treat her different because of her sister.
Sierra has had to deal with allergies to different foods, so a pet peeve of hers is when a product or a restaurant doesn't label its allergens correctly.
Kai knows everyone is looking at his burn scars, and it used to be a big pet peeve of his that people would act different around him. He's learned to live with it now, but he feels bad when he scares little kids, though.
Cam doesn't like people touching his tail. Yes, it's adorable, but it's also very sensitive.
Diego's pet peeve is a guy that wants to be chased. You either want to have fun, or you can get lost.
Building on Anon's question "If the 2020 pandemic was real in Santa Lucia since the freshmen are expected to graduate in 2022, what do you think the characters would be doing during quarantine", what would the side characters (Kane, Addy, Sam, etc.) be doing while quarantining during a global pandemic?
Kane would be staying home and watching anime while hanging out in big voice chats with his fraternity brothers.
Blake would probably be a naughty boy and go visit his girlfriend anyway. Still, he'd try to do it while staying as safe as possible. Other than that, working out and playing games.
Sam would be really mad he can't surf anymore. He'd probably argue with anyone within earshot that he should be able to surf because there's no one else in the water right now and it's the best time for it!
Thomas would probably be on a cleaning spree. A very long one.
Addy would watch a lot of K- dramas. Too many.
Niall would spend most of his days playing video games and writing his fantasy novel.
Candace wouldn't have much free time either way. The show must go on, and business doesn't rest.
Sierra's days wouldn't be too different. She'd spent most of them drawing, painting and watching shows.
Kai would be antsy and anxious, trying to kill time anyway he can (and probably fail).
Cam would spent his day practicing his fighting game skills. You don't get this good without a lot of practice!
Diego would spend way too long messaging other guys on apps anyway while watching sports.
Favorite Manga/Anime of the Characters?
(Ben, Zach, Nate, Bryan, Carlos, Russell, Shay, Chris, Kane, and Kai)
Ben doesn't really watch anime all that much. In fact, it's very likely the only one he's watched from start to end is NANA. His sister watched it religiously while babysitting a very young Ben, so Ben would probably tell you any of the two Nanas.
Zach really prefers American comics, but won't object to reading mangas once in a while. He likes Dragon Ball a lot, especially due to the parallels between Goku and Superman. But he likes Trunks the most.
Nate reads just about anything that falls on his lap, but he hasn't spent a lot of time watching anime. He really likes The Rose of Versailles, Lady Oscar being his favorite character.
Bryan's spent most of his childhood and teenage years outside or with friends, so he's had little time to watch or read much anime or manga. He knows the big three, and between them he likes One Piece the most. He likes Usopp best.
Carlos has one shameful secret, and it's his undying love for telenovelas. Andres was the one into anime and manga, and everything Carlos knows about them, he knows because of his brother. Andres loved Saint Seiya the most, and Carlos always found Shiryū cool.
If asked, Russell would tell you his favorite character is a minor character in a cancelled manga that was serialized between the months of May and September of 1998. The truth is, he really, really likes Shikamaru from Naruto. But don't tell anyone.
Shay really likes NANA, but contrary to Ben, she's watched it of her own volition. Ren Honjo is her favorite character.
Chris got into Attack on Titan thanks to a friend of his back in Australia. His favorite characters are Armin and Mikasa.
Kane likes funny, cute and warmhearted anime. His favorite character is Kagami Hiiragi from Lucky Star.
Kai's favorite anime is Steins;Gate, which he read and watched entirely over and over. His favorite character is Kurisu Makise.
i find it relatable that Carlos discovered a new hobby (art) in university. I used to lament it was 'too late' for me to draw until i saw Carlos's route, where like him i got into art in college too! I had those same thoughts of Carlos earlier bemoaning art supply costs, of why would such a class needed to be taken since he's going to law, etc. Ironically, doing art on the side improved my grades, i guess i was so tense like him lol.
I also used to feel that way! I started drawing when I was 17, and took drawing somewhat seriously once I got to university. I tried joining a popular art school in France but I did not meet anywhere close to the required level, which made me believe I had started art too late.
And yet... I met my husband (and my closest friends) working as the artist on both Homecoming and Santa Lucia, and now, at 29, I couldn't imagine ever it being too late to pick up a new skill.
It's never too late, something Carlos also found out.
Pet peeves of the chars? (my definition is extremely minor things that no one else is bothered by)
Fun idea!
- Ben does not like getting his fur wet. He still showers every day, but splashing water on him is a quick way to piss him off.
- Zach can't focus when someone is doing something in the periphery of his vision. Ben doing his workout in the morning while Zach is on the computer annoys him, but he'd never tell a soul.
- Nate has many pet peeves when it comes to media. A big one is anything made by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
- Bryan does not like the smell of sweat, at all. It's why he showers so often!
- Carlos has so many pet peeves, it's hard to find the one... but people talking when he's reading drives him mad.
- Russell HATES dubtitles. (Subtitles that are a transcription of the dub, and not a direct translation of the original work). He'll turn off an anime he's watching and hunt down a subtitle track if he notices it's dubtitled.
- Karina does not enjoy girly girls being girly around her. She feels like she's not doing enough herself to appear feminine.
- Shay gets very annoyed by "fake" Texan cuisine in Tex-Mex chains outside of Texas.
- Chris is a pro at cable management when it comes to computer building. He also does not like RGB light stuff, so a typical gamer desktop PC with terrible cable management and RGB lights flashing everywhere will make him upset.
If the 2020 pandemic was real in Santa Lucia since the freshmen are expected to graduate in 2022, what do you think the characters would be doing during quarantine?
Oh, that's a tough one.
Zach and Carlos would just stay home and do what they usually do, focusing on their hobbies.
Nate could last a good while reading books and watching movies but he'd need to call up friends quite often.
Chris would spend the majority of his time on his computer and pestering his mentees to make sure they're okay.
Russell would watch anime 24/7 while texting Ben or Zach all day long.
Ben, Bryan, Karina and Shay would most likely go stir crazy and need some social interactions at different rates and for different reasons... but they probably would fare the least well.
What would everyone dress up as for Halloween? Would they go for something obvious to their personality or something we would never expect them to wear?
Hmm, that's actually something I can't quite answer just yet since everyone will have a Halloween outfit in the game and I want to keep those a surprise... but I've shown a few outfits the characters have worn as kids in short stories and art I've made:
Carlos wore an Iron Man costume made by his sisters while his twin wore a cheap mummy costume he slapped together.
Chris wore a witch/vampire costume (he got excited and merged both together)
Ben dressed up as a mad scientist as a kid.
Another Santa Lucia question, I like Chris and Russell and their friendship but I do feel at times it took bit extra space in act 2 and or act 3(very touching moment FYI). I was hoping to get more days with current love interest before the final act hits and Ben and the crew and they gotta go whacky adventures to save the college campus/town. Maybe with re-write can help extend/elongate the days that Ben has with his current love interest. Just me spitting out my thoughts and questions
We can't say for sure if we'll add days for individual routes (the schedule is pretty packed as is), but it'd be an interesting thing to work on. There will be additional unique scenes with the love interests in the final act too to tie a nice bow on everything!
What are the characters hobbies?
Ooh, interesting question. I'll focus on the main characters:
Ben: Running, watching streamers, listening to music (especially stuff his sister would like), walking, drawing (isn't great at it yet).
Zach: Playing music (Guitar and digital stuff), video games (CRPGs, Rhythm games, MMOs), drawing (comics), reading (comic books/mangas), listening to music (Jazz mainly, but varied tastes).
Russell: Watching anime, reading mangas, eating junk food, doing nothing (especially lying awake in bed at 3 AM, that's his specialty), listening to music (rock and metal). Used to be really into working out, and clubbing.
Bryan: American Football, partying, video games (usually multiplayer stuff), working out, listening to music (dance and pop), reading (comic books). Sex is a hobby, right?
Nate: Playing video games (JRPGs, Action-RPGs), playing music (singing, piano), theater (watching and playing), movies (film buff), reading (just about any novel), listening to music (very broad tastes).
Carlos: Watching telenovelas (addicted to them), drawing (surprisingly good at it), studying, listening to music (Rock, Spanish Rock).
Karina: Running (she's a pro), art (traditional and digital), watching Netflix series, listening to music (indie music).
Shay: Working out, cooking/baking, singing.
When will Tora's route be completed? I played until the 15th and was very curious about the remaining half way, and will other characters' sprites be completed, along with adding more emotes for characters with playable routes? And thank you for your efforts in reviving Morenatsu with Homecoming, I love it.
I hope sooner rather than later... but he'll definitely be the last main character to get a route, hehe.
I'm currently working on more sprites, and will eventually had more expressions down the line.
Thank you for enjoying the game, we're trying our best hehe
