A bit of lore about My Dorm's world
Added 2024-06-20 14:36:47 +0000 UTCThe latest update demonstrated that the world My Dorm is happening in is not our world. I needed to insert that because some people still were saying things like "Drinking age in California is 21", and I wanted it to be canon inside the game's dialogue.
There are some changes regarding our timeline:
No morro in Morro Bay. The morro that gives its name to the area in our timeline collapsed or eroded away millions of years ago, leaving only some weird-looking rocks (Erika's first-time beach). Morro Bay is called Newport and encloses the Los Osos area. San Simeon (in our world) is called Westport and is way bigger.
Arnold ran for governorship 4 years earlier, starting his first mandate in 1999 with Clinton still in the White House. He passed some bills in My Dorm's timeline different than he did in Our World:
His stem cell investigation bill, which was passed in his second mandate in Our World, was passed in his first mandate in My Dorm’s timeline (2001 instead of 2009). Having funds to research made the founders of NTR stay in California and found their company instead of becoming investigators in other companies’ laboratories.
He set the drinking age at 18 in his first mandate. That made California lose the federal funding for roads, but also made Arnold win his reelection by a landslide in the 18-21 age group. No governor has dared to change it back to 21 because of fear of losing the support of young voters.
He did a Michigan/New York and set the age to rent a car at 18 (instead of 21) in his second mandate. No one has dared to change that, either.
He implemented a dual metric/imperial education system favoring the metric system in education. Every kid raised in California thinks in meters and liters, instead of in yards and gallons. Older people still think in imperial, and labels should be written in both systems.
And that's all for now.

2024-06-22 21:59:49 +0000 UTCThat last sentence is blowing my mind! And, I believe that MB High School is still the only HS in CA that is adjacent to the ocean (well, Morro Bay, literally).

2024-06-21 16:51:59 +0000 UTCThat's amazing, Paul! I never thought there would be a player from the area either. Since the two towns are merged in My Dorm's world, you wouldn't recognize them if you walked through Newport streets, but let's say the High School is the same place. I'm just happy to think Daphne, Erika, Emma, Scarlett, Simone, or the MC roamed the same corridors as your kids!

2024-06-21 06:45:48 +0000 UTCI cannot believe I would ever see my former city of residence, Los Osos, mentioned in an adult visual novel note! I lived there for almost 38 years before moving closer to my son, a year ago. My kids both graduated from Morro Bay High, and I used to manage Morro Bay Travel (which has been closed for over 25 or so years.)

2024-06-21 00:00:13 +0000 UTCWithout Alt-Arnold NTR wouldn't exist, so thanks to him we have Emma/Daphne/Erika/Amanda/Eva relationships. So we should love him.

2024-06-20 22:11:42 +0000 UTCI am not going to develop much more the history of the world, at least not in-game. The characters don't know what has happened in our timeline, so any change for them in their timeline with respect to ours is normal. That's why I had to make this post.

2024-06-20 22:10:49 +0000 UTCNo voy a desarrollar mucho más la historia del mundo, al menos no en el juego. Los personajes no saben qué ha pasado en nuestra linea temporal, con lo que cualquier cambio para ellos en su linea temporal respecto a la nuestra es lo normal. Por eso he tenido que hacer este post.

2024-06-20 22:10:09 +0000 UTCI love Western culture. I grew up in it and it's the best for me (you know we Westerners are Western-centric). But I like to point out the inconsistencies Western culture has.

2024-06-20 22:08:52 +0000 UTCThat's the idea. I also created the perfect woman/en. Anyone can choose who she/they are for him. 😉

2024-06-20 22:06:45 +0000 UTCThis is the morro. It's a big rocky hill (a volcanic plug to be more exact) on an artificial peninsula, and that's what has disappeared in My Dorm's timeline. https://assets.milestoneinternet.com/cdn-cgi/image/f=auto/pacifica-host-hotels/morro-bay-hotel/innatmorrobay/hero-image/innatmorrobay-local-area-hero.jpg?width=1240&height=551

2024-06-20 16:12:32 +0000 UTCMe encanta que ahora no solo sea interesante la historia de los personajes, sino la del mundo. No puedo esperar a ver como es el mundo que te imaginas.

2024-06-20 15:29:27 +0000 UTCMan back home is like this, if you can serve in the military, you can drink and responsible for you actions! I really can't stand that, you can shoot people for your freedom but you cannot have a drink, you can buy weapons but you can't drink, you play killing games but nudity is looked skeptical... I just don't get it!

2024-06-20 15:20:15 +0000 UTCWhat, you think you can just make up your own world for a game you're creating?? ...Oh wait, you can. Carry on.

2024-06-20 15:18:14 +0000 UTCI may be remembering my history wrong, but ... if I remember correctly, it's the Morro river that's named after a hill (Morro in Spanish). The bay got its name from the river that runs into it? Anyways, historically it was a place for dogs ("tsɨtqawɨ"), and ... given how the clones was treated by the company, an apt place for the storyline...
