Eli Richardson
Childhood is thinking Rachel is BtS bae. Adulthood is realizing it's Steph.

Gavin Myers
shes gonna get like 3 scenes in the entire game though lol
Jace Diaz
Steph is great and all, but let's be real here...Rachel is on another level
Liam Morgan
As Max and Chloe are leaving the ruins of Arcadia Bay behind, there's one more tragic story unfolding >Alice and Lisa stuck in Max's room, Alice hasn't eaten anything in days, the dorms are destroyed and no one comes looking for them >"No one's gonna come save us, this is the end, we'll starve to death..." >Alice...you can survive this and go back to your owner. All you have to do is... all you have to do is eat me." >"What? No, fuck that. Lisa, you're my number one priority, I'm not eating you!" >"Alice, think about it... how many times this week did you try to nibble my leafs? I'm a plant, Alice, you're a bunny, maybe it's time I accept my destiny... OUR destiny." >"Lisa, I can't make this choice!" >"No Alice, you're the only one who can"
I disagree, but I'm a big fan of the idea of Tracer "showing Max the ropes"
Joshua Lewis
THREE DAYS HYPE!
Owen Kelly
Yep, a totally difference level of manipulation and selfishness
William Foster
Steph is dank, but no way
Camden Evans
Steph is a child that likes to play games and talk about comic books, Rachel is a real woman.
Jack Collins
Don't bully Rachel
Justin Fisher
Then, as friends. Now, as partners. In the future, as soulmates. Always together and always awesome.
Wyatt Powell
where 2 cop camera mods for BTS
Logan Martinez
eh this skin tone is too light
Austin James
Rachel would totally play D&D with Chloe and Steph and Mikey
Nathaniel Turner
Hmm... I really should have cut that better..
Nicholas Miller
Here, I'll just save us all some trouble: >Me: You're wrong >You: No you're wrong >Me: You're wrong >You: No you're wrong And that's it, now we can stop.
Mason Moore
That's pretty adorable. Steph seems to be BtS's Kate, a side character who pretty much everyone likes and wants to see more of. I also wouldn't mind seeing more of the Bounder bro.
Cameron Mitchell
Why didnt max just go back in time and stop cars from being developed if thats what kept killing her friend and her friends dad?
Landon Bailey
Maybe because she didnt have any selfies of herself taken in XIX century
Julian Myers
not so sure she can go back to a time where she wasn't even born yet
Austin Johnson
Why look!
Joseph Foster
The rules of time travel in the LiS universe is based around jumping into her consciousness of another time from which she can manipulate herself and change the course of history, not actual teleporting to different time periods.
Jaxon Cook
ChloeMax forever!
Jeremiah Johnson
I think it's cut just right Would you happen to have video of Rachel bringing Chloe closer to the room, like pic related by the way?
Brody Sanders
Her VA was posting that people won't be disappointed with Steph in EP2 so I'm hype though
Ayden Perry
It was never tried if Max could jump into photos she didn't take/wasn't in. She probably couldn't but it would be cool to think she could, and even take Chloe along. Maybe with more time and training, she would learn to use her power that way and bypass the whole autopilot catch up thing. Just jump from into a photo and jump back to the present. Definitely a stretch and getting into entirely baseless headcanon stuff though.
Been a little bit since I've seen that one. Anything involving Chloe + sharks is something I love. Perfect spirit animal.
And ever!
Nathan Russell
Here you go.
I'd get the longer cut but it looks weird with the subs just coming in, i'll play this part again and record without subtitles this time
Levi Thompson
Just in time!
Jeremiah Perez
...
Hunter Mitchell
Thanks, yeah if you ever feel like doing a version with Chloe looking to her sides panicked before Rachel grabs her that would be awesome, but no pressure, you already did a lot
Ian Jones
Chloe's spirit animal is a blue butterfly.
John Stewart
That's what I meant by recording without subtitles because writing comes up when that starts to happen. I might do it tomorrow.
Elijah Roberts
...
Nathaniel Turner
The butterfly just seemed to represent change and the power Max has. If there was any spirit animal for Chloe then it was probably the bluejay. All that stuff's mostly up to interpretation.
Charles Howard
My university is 15 minutes from Deck Nine's headquarters. Should I go bother them?
Robert Kelly
As long as it gets in the thread then I don't worry, though being right after Kate is nice. Even better are the rare occasions when they make it here first.
Liam Gray
>ask to be a beta tester >leak everything here >???? >Profit
Brody Green
s-say hi and ask for some artwork
Jace Anderson
I think they're pretty welcoming of visitors, just don't do anything stupid that would bring shame to this place if they learned where you came from.
Ethan Powell
That's not bad, but I think I'll do what this guy says. Oh, and I'll wear my Pirate Bay t-shirt.
Jackson Gray
Cottaterra is on an art spree lately and I love it. A good mix of LiS and BtS stuff. Definitely one of my favorite artists (Not counting the wonderful ones on /lisg/ because that would be biased)
>No, Chloe. Don't give any of that to Bongo.
Lucas Miller
And Steph is also a dweeb loser, not cool enough for Chloe at all.
Cooper White
Who is the bluejay?
Anyway, I think Chloe's spirit animal is the blue butterfly. The butterfly came to Max the same time she saw Chloe in the bathroom. A butterfly can symbolize "change" as you said, and Chloe has gone through a lot of changes in her life. She used to be a happy girl in her childhood, then everything changed when her father died and her best friend, Max, left the country. Max returned to her after 5 years and she became happy once again. You can also find a portrait of a blue butterfly in Chloe's alternate-universe room.
Levi Clark
>Definitely one of my favorite artists really? Personally I find this artstyle kinda on the "ugh" side
Owen Phillips
The bluejay is the bird in Chloe's house Max can interact with a few times. Watching it die, rewinding to save it, letting it free another time, and photographing its nest. The blue butterfly only appears a few times in the game and I saw it as just representing the concept and change and the "butterfly effect" instead of a single person. If you look into it, a lot spirit animals have vague and different meaning so multiple could be applied to one person. For example, in the prequel, the crow/raven is very fitting to Chloe but also to Rachel. Like I said, a lot of this stuff has no right answer so it's interesting to talk about.
David James
So BtS is set in 2010 and I'm guessing it will be set over 3 consecutive days just like LiS was. What happens between 2010 and 2013 when Rachel goes missing? What did Chloe and Rachel get up to? I thought Chloe and Rachel had at least a longish relationship so how will they show anything significant in 3 days? This is probably a stupid question but oh well.
Charles Smith
This is the best thing /lisg/ has ever created.
Wyatt Foster
Some of it can be "ugh" if it looks off or there's too much emphasis on stuff like cheeks like there. Or if they make Max's skin a darker tone (A few artists do that for whatever reason). Other times I think it looks quite good. If I wanted to list the artists I like then the list would end up being long or I'd be internally arguing and swapping them around.
Ian Jones
...
Parker Martin
Oh that blue bird... I thought it was something insignificant. I didn't even know how to save that poor guy.
Charles Gutierrez
They never really did have a true relationship based on everything we hear from Chloe, and what Rachel writes, in the original. If BtS covers just the first three days then it will likely be showing the first challenges they overcome together and how that solidifies their friendship and how it's something that gives Chloe hope. I'm sure we'll see some more flirting and maybe a kiss, but there's not nearly enough time in those three days to show everything. There will still be a lot of open-ended stuff and questions everyone can make their own answers to.
Brayden Nguyen
>So BtS is set in 2010 and I'm guessing it will be set over 3 consecutive days just like LiS was no idea but the bts devs already stated that the game isn't going to be about the dark room/rachel missing
Jason Smith
Reminder that today it's Hannah's 30th birthday!
Nicholas Powell
I want to see her naked.
Colton Walker
Max does too!
Jace Morales
I'd actually kill for a scene like Steph asking Chloe if she wants to play again and Chloe being like "Hell Yeah" so they play for a while and then Rachel suddenly appears behind Chloe and is like "what are you doing?". So Chloe gets flustered and says "Shit, gotta go bye Steph" but before she can finish the sentence Rachel sits next to her and announces "I want to play too". And everyone's flabbergasted for a good 5 seconds until confused Rachel says "what, you help me in my drama class, i wanna know about the things you like too"
And then Rachel keeps getting rekt.
Isaiah Brown
I'm sure you could if you paid her enough
Noah Edwards
You'll find out in Life Is Strange After the Storm
Aaron Baker
why chloe has monkey ears there
Leo Cooper
>Or if they make Max's skin a darker tone (A few artists do that for whatever reason). they headcanon her as black
Christopher Thompson
>Bongo >2013 Chloe Is Chloe hallucinating?
Ethan Kelly
Thanks anons. > If BtS covers just the first three days then it will likely be showing the first challenges they overcome together and how that solidifies their friendship and how it's something that gives Chloe hope. I was assuming it would be something like this. I hoped there would be more time spent with them but I guess not. >the bts devs already stated that the game isn't going to be about the dark room/rachel missing. Such a shame but the game would have to be ridiculously long to show everything.
Cooper Murphy
DANA?
Logan Gutierrez
I wonder if she's desperate enough for roles that she'd have sex with me for $100
Zachary Wilson
wtf
Connor Parker
I hope so. If they cut out any Rachel, Max, or Chloe content out I'm going to be hella angry.
Colton Adams
Absolutely disgusting.
Zachary James
They look like 40yo dykes this pic.
Asher White
Maybe. Maybe it's a timeline where he never died and got to grow old. Or maybe she and Max got another cat and named him Bongo in his memory.
Well where would the fun be if it showed every little thing? The charm of Rachel Amber in the first place was we heard tons of things about her and all of them could have been true or false, few people really knew her since she only showed one side to them and only opened up to a select few. Giving us every little detail erases the mystery surrounding her.
eh. I don't see anything bad, even if it did make them look older then future Pricefield art is rare and appreciated.
Gabriel Anderson
Ah yes, the Irish. Well known for their dark complexions. Dana looks like some Spanish soap opera's male protagonist.
Lincoln Hill
>Well where would the fun be if it showed every little thing? You are right but I just want more Rachel Amber
Jackson White
You got two more episodes of her, enjoy them. Just don't go overboard and forget that the story's ending is already known. Don't want you to get all excited, remember what happens, and get hurt by that disappointment.
Blake Myers
I want less, so let's just compromise and keep things where they are.
Luke Allen
I want Chloe to see Rachel's every detail
Leo Nguyen
Just keep in mind how this all ends.
Carter Richardson
Sleep tight
Josiah Nguyen
...
Jason Taylor
Nice elf, glad to see he agrees
Grayson Rogers
My heart...
Michael Sullivan
Episode 2 literally can't come soon enough
Evan Carter
Would Bongo and Alice get along?
Ryder Young
>kek
Austin Jones
Did that happen in the BTS universe?
Isaiah Nelson
she literally made everything worse by saying this. Now everytime Chloe was crying herself to sleep she would remember Max's epic speech how she'll always have her back no matter what and will never abandon her and then she would look at her text history and cry even harder. Good job Max.
Charles Morris
Yes, I think so. That action should have affected the future of the original world, in which BtS happens.
Brandon Cooper
Don't worry about me anons. I'll be alright. Here is some OC for your troubles.
Luke Carter
wow that is adorable. Someone's gotta do the "Reasons to live" one too
Caleb Sanders
lewd
William Jenkins
I'll do it later if I've got time
Kevin Murphy
nice KOTH reference
Jacob Nelson
>RachelAmber4eva Now I wish we actually went to classes as Chloe and had a zen moment when she absentmindedly draws/engraves "Rachel
