So yeah things are going slow, had to make a few cuts to some thing. A little behind but still on track to deadline. Lots of stuff is going on rn especially with the corona bs floatin through the us. We will try to keep working and get done. Stay safe and for the love of the maker WASH YOUR HANDS. Also remember this is no reason to rob people of toilet paper.
Cheers

Hey long time no talk. So we are doing apartment searching again and found our dream place! We are busy and working hard. Don’t worry, progress is still on going. Far as I know we are on schedule! Ok see ya, I’ll have rob make a post on this WINesday!
Rand is a quiet and serious student, devoted to studying, politics, and more studying. He has the most gorgeous pair of eyes in all of Grand Old Academy, and the second-goofiest head of hair. He keeps his emotions close to his chest, but he’s full of hidden passion— all four feet and ten inches of him.
Rand is one of the few members of the debate club who is involved in the student government. He’s the class representative for the second-year students, and an RA of Bluegrass dorm.
Rand has the Academy’s constitution practically memorized, and knows the ins and outs of the school bylaws better than almost anyone.
One of Rand’s signature causes is privacy; and, accordingly, he’s a very private person. He’ll talk about politics for hours, but if you ask him about his personal life or what he does in his room for hours when he locks the door and draws the blinds, he’ll eye you suspiciously and clam up. Some would go so far as to call Rand paranoid.
It’s very difficult to earn Rand’s trust, but if you’re able to break through his shell of secrecy, you’ll be rewarded with trust, honesty, and loyalty. He might even open up to you about his father Ron, a former debater at the Academy.
Do you think you can win this lilliputian debater’s heart? There’s only one way to find out!
Grand Old Academy is currently on Kickstarter, where you can download a demo. Help us get funded so we can make the full game and release it for free!
Jeb is a third-year at Grand Old Academy, and many consider him the most likely to win this year’s debate tournament. Jeb is one of the co-RAs of Sunshine Dorm, along with Marco, his protegee. Everyone at the Academy thinks Jeb and Marco’s senpai/kohai relationship is the strongest they’ve seen.
Jeb is cheerful and optimistic, and wears his heart on his sleeve. This comes across as endearingly earnest to some, but to others, it’s just pathetic. It also makes him an easy target for bullies. Especially one bully in particular:
In addition to the relentless bullying he faces from Donald, Jeb has his own internal demons. His father and brother were star students at Grand Old Academy, both winning the debate tournament during their time at the school. Jeb feels pressure to live up to their legacy of greatness. He sometimes even worries that Marco is his only true friend, with everyone else only pretending to like him because of his family connections.
But despite his troubles (or maybe because of them), America can’t help but feel some sympathy towards Jeb. He’s like a sad puppy that just needs some love. Or maybe he’s more like a sea turtle (Jeb’s favorite animal): he has a soft, vulnerable underbelly and a defensive emotional shell, but a warm heart inside.
Will America try to find love with Jeb? And if she does, will he open himself up enough to trust her after being hurt by so many of the people he thought were his friends? There’s only one way to find out.

So I’ve been seeing that some of our posts have been circulating again via reblogs! I appreciate the support!! So our week of relaxing will be up on Monday, and this begins to finishing touches. A few things have been added to the script so more editing needs to be done, but as far as we have checked, Robert is still on track for the final release on Election Day in August!
Of course I love to keep y’all updated as much as possible, despite not messaging on Kickstarter or other sources. Here is the easiest platform where word can spread. Anyway, I would like to open up a AMA for y’all to send in any questions you have about the game, or us! Here are questions I have already answered multiple times:
WHEN IS THE GAME BEING RELEASED? August 24, election day(or if I’m wrong whatever Election Day in August is)
WILL THERE BE DLCS? As of now no dlcs are being formatted, but will be eventually, do not have specifics.
ARE YOU GAY(yes I have had this several times in dm lol)? Robert is my partner/spouse. *sound of waiting crickets*
Everything else is on the table, also I’ll have rob make another WINesday post which I KKOW we have skipped on. Lol jobs suck. Anyway, thanks guys for the constant support, we will not let you down!
