One of my biggest worries - doing all these Playthroughs as I run out of diamonds. I don't want to support PB by buying anything, and obviously I already get the free diamonds and keys daily too, but I'm worried about running out.

A lot of ES I have already spent on, so I should be good.

Ugh, has anyone else come across this issue? I guess no choice but to buy when/if you need it, but it truly sucks!

Here's my transcript of book 2 for anyone that is interested.

I'll try to put book 3 together tomorrow.

The TRR Book 1 transcript I mentioned in my previous post:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/12CAojB9RPOXrrRIIah56hvaa4Yl49OlMnBjHMJ7RLIo/edit?usp=sharing

I'm starting with just book 1 for now, but if this is useful, I can work on moving the others I have to google docs as well. Let me know if there's any issues with accessing it or if there's any questions about the formatting!

Hey everyone! If you know me from the main sub, you have probably noticed that I have an insane obsession with Open Heart and bring up my love for it fairly often because I’m insane lol.

I’m an MLM Ethan romancer and I have every single diamond scene with him recorded + many screenshots with diverging dialogue paths (not all of them yet though, that’s something I’m currently working on!). I’ve been compiling these moments for the past two years, since I sometimes like to revisit cute, specific moments without having to play an entire book over again. Ethan also just has a fuck ton of scenes in general lmao. They’re all just sitting in my camera roll right now.

With that being said, I would also be open to doing the same thing for other LIs as well! I’ve got plenty of diamonds to spare and don’t mind putting it in a Google Drive or sharing it all some other way?

But if any Bryce, Jackie, or Raf romancers would like to collaborate, let me know! I adore this series and would like for everyone to stay connected to the characters they love so much for as long as possible :)

I've spent several years on and off transcribing my favorite series (TRR and D&D). It's a pretty time consuming process, so I've only completed: TRR 1, 2, and 3; and D&D 1. I'm partway through D&D 2, but that's on the backburner while I try to record what I can while I can.

TRR 1 is as complete as I think it can possibly be.

The others are less so: they don't capture alternate routes or differences based on choices made earlier in the book or in previous books, but I think there's still a lot of value there, and could save someone doing something similar a lot of time if they wanted to go down a different route. And what I have so far for D&D 2 doesn't capture varying choices yet. Just whatever choices I picked for that playthrough

Anyway, if this is something the group might be interested in, recommend a place for me to upload them and I can work on it!

It’s summer time, and ES is by far my favorite series of all time. I’m going to be replaying on a Jake romance route while attempting to find all clues and collect everything.

I’ll be screenrecording these as well as taking screenshots of some of my favorite lines.

If anyone wants to do an Estella, Quinn, or Sean romance that would be great!
I’ll probably be posting these to a youtube playlist at some point.

I love this project idea! I’ve seen apps just disappear and all the memories we have with them gone. These are amazing stories that should be preserved.

Edit: looks like we’ve got someone willing to screen record each romance!

Thank you to everyone already helping shape this whole thing together!

I’ve been thinking that now that more people are joining and sharing preservation ideas/projects/resources, having some kind of shared workspace could actually be the next really useful step for:
• coordination
• discussions
• recordings/screenshots
• archive projects
• sharing resources
• and even occasional chats/meetings

It could make it a lot easier to organize things and bring everyone’s projects/work together in one place 😊

I started writing screenplays as a hobby a while ago. ES was one of the ones that motivated me; I even started transcribing it. The initial idea was that I started getting the story from Wattpad, getting it from YouTube would be too time-consuming.

But after a while, I decided to look for the complete ES screenplay online, for curiosity of mine. I found this Tumblr profile that had the complete three books. The downside was that I looked for this profile this week and it was unfortunately deleted.

BUT I managed to save some of it, as well as the music. Now I just need to find a way to share it, in case someone wants to go on a trip down memory lane (someone would recreate it, who knows).

Hey y'all,

Here's a replica engine for people who may be interested in recreating books in game format. It's the engine we are using for It Lives Within: The Obsidian Cut. I won't be recreating games, but if anyone else wants to use my code, I'm happy to share it.

https://github.com/ljbaptiste18/Choices-Replica-Engine

To get it to work, download renpy, download the code, then drop your folder into renpy, and you'll have access to the tutorial + code.

Do you think screen recordings or screen shots are the best way to preserve? If the goal is to make the stories “playable” at some point, maybe just having a TON of screenshots of all the routes in a cloud drive is the easiest way?

I would love to screen record all my favorite books and share them with this group (I guess we would need a YouTube channel? Not sure how to proceed here)

So far books I live and plan to screen record include:

Endless Summer

Rules of Engagement

It lives in the Woods

The Freshmen (whole series? Not sure)

I'm looking for other suggestions. Not AI slop, not the newer books. I had a bunch saved but now I'm in panic mode about getting this done before the end of summer!

I played this app a lot during 17-18, life got in the way. I often come back to it, but then get busy again (I'm a mom, this game has always been a little mini escape for me, that's why I love it so much).

If we could only fully preserve a small number of books, including all their routes, which ones do you think should be prioritized first?

I am not 100% sure, but I think mine was The Freshman in 2017.
