🕑 Added 2025-07-30 19:34:59 +0000 UTCI am working very hard to get this out on the 31st!
Good news:

This is my second biggest update ever. I dont know how but i managed to do it in 55 days. (5th june to today) CODING WILL TAKE 2-5 DAYS SO STILL LESS THAN 60 DAYS!
Bad News

If you read the script you can give me ideas on potential achievements if you want.
Below I have pasted a part of a script i really liked. I don't know how many of you have ever had an overbearing parent, but i feel like this scene would capture this scenario pretty well. Or maybe im just retarded...
JSYK: Ruby/Step-mom/step-son or whatever will be changed when you play.
If you challenged ruby 3 times
April looks down at her keyboard, then over at Ruby, like she’s purposely avoiding making eye contact with you…
ruby: Grrrr!
…
Ruby: “You’ve been challenging me a lot lately.
Ruby: “You’ve changed. You don’t even realize how much, but I see it every day. The way you question me, challenge every word out of my mouth.
Ruby: And fine. That’s what growing up is, right?
ruby: But you don’t get to pretend like the stakes haven’t changed too. Like I can just sit back and let you make decisions that could-”
She cuts herself off, her mouth flattening into a hard line. You glance at her, then away.
You: “I’m trying to live. Not just follow orders.”
Ruby: “You say that like I’m the enemy. Like everything I do is just me trying to control you.”
ruby: “If I was trying to control you, you wouldn’t be sitting here telling me off in front of April.”
You: “I’m sitting here because I’m exhausted. Because I’m tired of being managed...
You: Of being treated like some broken machine that just needs the right combination of pills and check-ins to function.”
You: “You never ask me what I want. You just decide. And then I’m expected to be grateful.”
You can see her trying to keep her temper buried under the love, but it's rising through the cracks… You can tell by the look in her eyes.
Ruby: “What you want isn’t always what’s best for you. That’s what being a parent means. I’m supposed to know when you’re heading toward a cliff, even if you swear it’s a shortcut.”
apologise
...
“But it’s not your life. It’s mine. And I’m the one who wakes up every day feeling like I’m drowning. You can’t just keep... managing me like a patient.”
...
say nothing
...
“Oh my god, mom! Just shut the fuck up already!
something inside you snaps…
Maybe it’s the way she says it, like she’ll always know better…
Maybe it’s the years of being treated like a patient and not a person. Maybe it’s the certainty in her voice that cuts deepest of all.
You: “Oh my god, mom! Just shut the fuck up!
You: “I’m so sick of this! Sick of you. You act like I’m some experiment that needs controlling!
you: Fuck you!
you: Like I don’t get a fucking say in my own life!?
you: I’m not your project, I’m your step-son, and you treat me like a burden half the time and a baby the other half! So stop pretending this is all love and protection.
ruby: You’re a bitch with a savior complex.”
…
Smack!!!
It happens fast. A flash of movement, and then a sting across your cheek.
Her hand falls back to her lap almost instantly, but the sound of the slap echoes, even as the piano continues in its quiet, oblivious way.
Ruby’s face is pale, shocked by her own reaction. April doesn’t move, but you feel her watching, like she’s poised to intervene.
You don’t flinch. You don’t touch your cheek. You just sit there. Silent… Still… 5858
And you don’t care…
Not because it didn’t hurt, it did, but because something deeper broke first. And now that it’s broken, there’s a clarity…
She doesn’t speak. Maybe she’s horrified. Maybe not. You don’t ask. Fuck her! Hell… Maybe one day you will…
Nobody says anything… Even April stays quiet.
And you just sit there, the sting still warm on your skin, but your chest hollow, emptied of whatever argument you had left.
