Development for the mod started June 20th, 2025, and after about a year and three months of hard work, we've reached 10k lines in story.rpy. Progress was in overdrive this summer but has since slowed down, naturally. I've been trying to be a bit more consistent with development lately and I'm going to continue to try and speed up development while also maintaining the highest quality possible. Act 1 has taken a lot longer than I initially envisioned to finish but we're close. We're about 90% of the way done with Act 1. But considering that I intend on the mod being split into 3 acts with Act 2 being similar in length to Act 1 and Act 3 being very short, only about an hour or two at most, we've got a lot more work to do. The mod is a solo project now, but it hasn't always been that way. I had a few people helping me, but we've went our separate ways and it's just me now. To those who've been on my team and helped me, I'll be sure to thank and credit you properly when the time comes. To everyone who hasn't been a part of the team but has given me helpful tips, advice and criticism, I appreciate you too. To everyone who has played the garbage demo I put out, has kept up with the development process and those who clicked on this very post, I do it all for y'all. I want to make the best story I can make for you all and drop a slam dunk of a mod that'll have a lot of staying power here. If you don't mind, I'll be returning to my cave to continue working on this thing. Once I finish Act 1, I might release some more teasers, I don't know. I don't want to burn you guys out on them but y'all can let me know. Anyways, thanks for reading! Peace✌️

Been a little over 3 weeks since my last teaser and a lot of progress has been made so I figured I'd show a bit of it while also mentioning a couple things. I've been experimenting and having a lot of fun with the UI and visuals for the mod on top of everything else I've been doing. I really think you guys are gonna like this mod when I eventually finish the whole thing. Action-adventure mods aren't very common and mods with core focuses on music are also pretty rare so this mod will be unique if nothing else. I've chosen to work by myself which makes progress take a lot longer, but I think it'll be worth it. I put a lot of time, thought and effort into this. To make sure that all the plot points sync properly, that the music and visuals are nice, that the characters are well written, and everything feels natural. I also try and make as many things as I can on my own (like most of the dialogue boxes) so the mod can have a bunch of unique assets that make it memorable. I've been on a real hot streak, working on this for at least 3 hours every single day for about 2 months now, so I really hope you guys enjoy this because I've put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into it XD.

You read that right. I've been working for about 15 hours this week and have NOT ONLY written 1000 lines in a week, but I also made an opening sequence, including visuals and a song WITH LYRICS! If you want to see that, you'll have to see it in the mod once it comes out. I can't reveal everything yet, now can I?

Either way, to celebrate reaching 7000 lines for the story, here's 7 more gameplay screenshots for you! Hope ya like em!

After (just about) a full year of development, I have reached 6000 lines for the story. To celebrate a full year of development and 6000 lines, I'm revealing 6 gameplay screenshots. (I'm very proud of the logo. I made it myself xD)

What would you be willing to sacrifice to take the reins of your own life?

What are you living for-and who will stand with you, in mind, body and soul?

Join our MC who embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Someone who has escaped the shackles of being a vessel to walking down his own path, building it from the ground up, piece by piece. The grass isn't always greener on the other side. When one door opens, another one closes. Discovering what lies beyond these doors is discovering what it means to be a person, and what your purpose is in this world. Watch as the MC discovers people just like him, building relationships, and changes the courses of people's lives as he fights to protect himself and the people that truly matter most to him. In this world, the weak die and the strong survive. And to be strong, it takes more than sheer muscle and strength, but a true understanding of oneself. And through it all, music stands as the one thing consoling him. Keeping him sane. An escape from the perilous, unforgiving, brutal world of Song of Days Past.

One wrong move...and it's all over.

I've installed the Better EMR Phone and transferred the phone folder, 01statements.rpy and phone_stuff.rpy files to my game folder like the README says. When I call the phone_discussion_test or phone_call_test labels, I get this traceback error. I'm on Renpy 7.5.3 if that helps at all.
