Halloween is past - hopefully, everyone had a wonderful spooky holiday! This past October went basically the same as September, with very slow progress due to the busy schedules of the MSABS team. That does not mean there is no new developments to share, though!

Here's some art the team has been cooking up! :)

One of the new backgrounds! A spooky glimpse towards the 3rd level of the Navy Stronghold... What awaits at the top?

One of our artists, Nautilus, has been developing the character designs/palettes. Here's our dear Chibo!

As for the writing department, there has been no new writing since last month, and we don't want to pull too many lines from the beginning of the script... Hopefully, next month's update will include some more writing bits.

We are all trudging through school, but winter break is approaching soon. We plan to get a lot more work done in the upcoming three months, so stay tuned for more news! Have a good November everyone!

Can't believe I FUCKING FORGOT to turn on the ask button for the MSABS blog until now... 😭 WELP. GO FORTH AND SEND ASKS NOW IF YOU SO WISH

The overwhelming urge to post vague things about MSABS vs. wanting the game to be a total surprise :(

MSABS script currently up to over 1k words already... I'm only on scene 2 💀 Tbf scene 2 has a lot of choices in it, so the actual gameplay is gonna be shorter

I'm gonna be honest I made that big msabs post kinda as a "welp here goes nothing" and I am SHOCKED that so many people have volunteered for it already (and that so many people just wanna see it exist in the first place!!). Like I was fully expecting like MAYBE one or two people to be like sure! And then for it to never go anywhere. But people are already like offering ideas on the writing side, we had the first bg tests posted today and they were SICK AF - I actually have hope that this will go somewhere

SICK N AWESOME THINGS HAPPENING IN THE MSABS DEV TEAM DISCORD TEEHEEEEEE GIGGLING N KICKING MY FEET IM SO HAPPY YOU WOULDNT BELIEVEEEEEE

Oh my God I finally finished posting all the MSABS stuff I've come up with in the MSABS Discord. It was so much stuff :( I still have a lot to do. Hopefully more peeps will join and start helping out! :)

Kinda doubt you're starved for more writers but I would honestly love to help with Midnight, Storm, and Blackened Sea.

How closely would the game follow the events of the episode? Would you be using jay, chip, and gillion as the characters or making your own?

I have more questions but my mind is running 90 mph with ideas so I cannot put them into words

I've only had 5 people join the Discord so far, and only 1 of them is a writer - so no, there's always more room! (And 2 of them are just there to watch that I'm aware of)

I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED ABOUT THE ROUTES! You could play MSABS in the exact route that the Council did it and get the same ending, or if you go into different places in a different order, you can get a wildly different ending! You play as the 3 pcs - there will be no ocs. Depending on the route you take, none to all of them might die. You may even discover secrets about some of the pcs that tie in to theories I've made about Riptide in the past.

Feel free to ask more questions! I won't answer certain story things because I don't want to spoil, but for the most part, I'll give you detailed answers :)
