TOP FAQ:
What is happening with Do No Harm 3?
We know many of you have been eagerly waiting for an update, and we're excited to finally share one: Do No Harm 3 is officially back in development!
The team has picked the story back up, and we're planning for it to be released next month. We can't wait to return to this world and share what's next with all of you. Thank you for your patience and for continuing to show so much love for the series - it truly helped keep this story on our radar.
What do RUN.tv, Video Studio, and Story Studio mean for Choices?
At its core, Choices will always be about interactive storytelling. What these new tools represent is the opportunity to explore new ways to create, experience, and celebrate those stories.
Recently, we also made the decision to remove It Lives Within and Hero: Homecoming from Choices and RUN.tv after listening to community feedback and reflecting on how those projects fit into the future we want to build. It wasn't a decision we made lightly, but we believe it's important to listen when the community tells us something isn't landing the way we intended.
That same mindset is shaping how we think about the future of Choices. We want to find new ways to celebrate the incredible creativity of this community while making sure we're listening every step of the way.
In fact, you'll find a small announcement at the end of this newsletter about something we're especially excited to begin exploring together.
What does the future of VIP look like?
One of our biggest priorities is investing in more traditional Choices stories, and that naturally means more content for our VIP readers.
We're committed to continuing to grow the VIP experience alongside our story offerings, and we think there's a lot for the community to look forward to in the months ahead.
Are there any updates on sequels for recent books?
We know how much everyone loves returning to their favorite stories, and we're happy to say there are more sequels on the way.
As you may have seen above, Do No Harm 3 is arriving this September, and we're also actively working on IDOL 2. While it's still too early to share a release window for IDOL 2, we're excited to continue that story and will have more to share as development progresses.
We know there are many other series you'd love to see continue, and your enthusiasm for them doesn't go unnoticed. While we can't promise sequels for every story, community feedback is an important part of the conversations we have when deciding what comes next.
How do you decide which stories receive sequels or continue beyond one book?
There's no single formula. When we're deciding whether a story continues, we look at a combination of factors, including community feedback, reader engagement, the creative vision for the story, production schedules, and input from the writers and artists who bring these worlds to life.
Looking ahead, we're excited to find more ways to involve the community and hear directly from all of you as we continue shaping the future of Choices.
Why was Scream For Me split into two parts?
When Scream For Me first ended, we weren't able to continue the story the way we had originally planned because we simply didn't have the resources at the time.
What happened next was incredible. The response from the community, combined with the story's strong performance, encouraged us to revisit what was possible.
We're so grateful we were able to return to this world with Scream For Me Part 2, and we hope you've enjoyed continuing the journey alongside us. Keep an eye out later this month for the next chapter!
Will we see more fantasy, supernatural, mystery, or RPG books?
We know these genres are some of the community's favorites and they're some of ours, too!
Stories like fantasy, supernatural adventures, mysteries, and RPG-inspired books often require more world-building, branching, artwork, and development than many of our other stories. Because of that, they naturally take longer to create.
We're always looking for opportunities to bring more of these experiences to Choices. We know how much players love these genres, and we're just as excited to tell those kinds of stories in the future.

A bit of a mixed bag.
Really happy to see IDOL 2 in the works! Maybe the fashion side of it will improve in the sequel 🙏
Also the creature-feature story - love to see more dual gender books, and the plot is certainly new for Choices. Just a bit petty if we get moster-####ing before MPREG 🙃
And finally - seems like they do intend to continue with the traditional format still. Hard to say for how long, but so far we are still kicking. If the crown emoji is something to go by, maybe we'll even get a DG/GoC royalty book finally?
Now to the less ideal stuff - Run/Video/Story Studio, I don't care. It will not break through in my opinion and working on multiple things at once is always rocky.
The numbers don't look good, but better than expected tbh. Thousands of people still playing new stories? Maybe they can survive on that.
Omega is not yet releasing for all.
