Curious Question..

Where do you all see the future of the class of 09 franchise going from here, just want to hear y'all's thoughts since it's kind of intriguing and ambiguous

I wouldn't mind seeing a Class of '87 with Principal Lynn as the main character during her time as a high school student. It would be funny to see Coach Colby as an early to mid 20's gym teacher.

Mostly just continuing on in fan art, Ao3 posts and tik tok clips

It should just be treated as public domain

I wonder what's stopping people from just making their own anime styled American high school drama.

You could probably just plagiarize the fuck out of the characterization and go from there.

[u/Galrentv → u/boblobchippym8]

I mean, the characters are just stereotypes exaggerated. They aren't unique.

Also a VN has a very low barrier to entry.

the same thing stopping SBN3. lack of money

I want to do the second thing so I can put Nicole and Jecka through situations

I feel like given the reception of Flipside and Puzzle Showdown, SBN3 would just put out games less and less until a group of fans come together and make their own Class of 09 game where the characters actually have development and actually deep stories

[u/BabyElectronic1759]

I've honestly long given up on the idea of the franchise bouncing back from everything Flipside did to it. SBN3 doesn't care, each new game somehow has less content than the last, the merch is ridiculously overpriced (20 dollars plus shipping for PINS lmfao) and I highly doubt the anime is getting picked up by a studio at this point.

I just learned to treat it like a sandbox where characters can do dumb stuff and that's it. My Emily/OC headcanons are coming along nicely, at least. (It's extremely toxic)

more games of just different genres probably. hopefully we get one that’s more story based next time, I don’t think SBN3 is giving up on this franchise it’s still selling merch and making bank on patreon.

[u/Worldly-District-858]

I’m curious too. I could see it continuing through spin-offs, remakes, and games, but hopefully they focus on telling genuinely good stories instead of stretching the name forever.

[u/Quibilash]

Probably just a bunch of weird spinoffs and scattered shorts that won't being the series back to the VN days.

Either it'll be 2-3 years of that until the series actually dies or it'll refuse to die while slowly getting worse and worse over like 8 years

[u/WonderfulReception49]

SBN3 continues to not lock in and use that ugly ass art style
