Sneak Peek #29: 21CA Continues to Grow... (Patreon)

Today's Sneak Peek is a first look at some new side characters coming in future game updates. Connor has more classes than with just Will & Tomas, which means more professors will be popping up as his first week of classes continues. And of course Connor will often run into other students at school as he navigates its halls.

As usual, these characters are subject to change. That said, let's look who we got!

Professor Zeno Argyris

Connor's supplementing his main courses with other classes he thinks will help round him out as a writer. Enter Zeno Argyris, a professor of psychology, to teach Connor how people think. Usually Professor Zeno's class will be on Tuesdays, but this first week it'll be on Wednesday, which means it'll be a little while until we see him in the game.

Professor Annika Tate

Professor Annika Tate will be covering literature with a focus on novels written by women. Her class will be on Thursdays—a respite for Connor who not just loves to read, but who needs a break from being distracted by all his male professors! I suspect his lady-loving-ladies classmates might have the opposite problem.... Like Zeno, Annika will be popping up later in the game.

Kaleb

You'll briefly meet Kaleb in the latter half of the Morning After Update when you first enter Will's class and witness a curious interaction. Connor doesn't really get to interact with him, but he does see Kaleb acting weirdly nervous/excited as he exits the room...

Of these three, Kaleb is a case where I didn't really know what he'd look like until I messed around with character creation for a bit, and his final look inspired how he'll play into the game. He's gonna be in various acting and dance classes, and there may just be an All About Eve-style rivalry between him and another made-for-teen-TV actor, Hugh. He'll also be mingling with other guys like Matt, Owen, and Isaiah—and he might just catch their eye...

Grind'm

Of course these guys are gonna be eligible for a Grind'm hookup—it'd be a crime if they weren't! They'll be joining the pool of candidates when the next round of voting begins. Here's a look at most of what's under their clothes so Graduate patrons can consider their vote early...

That's what I've got today. I hope everyone is having a good weekend!
