As a volleyball player, haikyuu love and a fan of IFs I'm so happy I found this!! I'm so excited!

That sounds awesome! Glad you're excited for this as much as we are :)

[spikingtheodds-if]

will there be options for mc to be grumpy but kind/soft at the same time? like those characters where they look intimidating and always angry, but they actually care about their teammates/friends

yeah! i also usually play those kind of MCs so I really wanted to add the option to do that!

[spikingtheodds-if]

I saw your pinned post and felt really excited about the game, however I cant find it. Is the game out yet, or is it still pending?

It's in the works, so it's not completely public and it's only available to testers right now!

[spikingtheodds-if]

I have a question and I'll try to word it in a way that can be answered without too much spoilers: is there any chance that the person that "ratted out" mc is an ro? because all I am thinking now is mc deep in romance with one of the ros and then finding out that their partner was the one that sabotaged them and boy would that be a big oof

Yep, definitely possible!

Every character could be "the traitor": ROs included. :)

[spikingtheodds-if]

Either crying or kindof not responding so the first one because I could see that making the most sense at least for my mc because they are at least more emotional or a cry baby like me

we play the same kind of MCs!! totally agreed :)

[spikingtheodds-if]

Are you comfortable with RO scenario asks?

yes!

[spikingtheodds-if]

as a fellow med student, i put in one vote for andrea ghosting the mc for days bc they're just trying to stay afloat in medical school lmao

it's not that they don't like the mc, it's that they're studying for step 1

oh definitely hahah, 50% of the reason why Andrea is a "mysterious med student" is them disappearing for days just to revise

[spikingtheodds-if]

Do you have any character descriptions?

yes, will post them eventually

[spikingtheodds-if]

Klara/Klaus Padel.

[spikingtheodds-if]

which choice would you have picked and why?

They say to make your choices shorter than 15 words but what can I say, I want people to know what they're getting into with every choice hahah

Where you can donate to help Maui, Hawaii

this article has places listed that you can donate to, but i’ll also put direct links to some of these places in this post:

Maui United Way

Maui Strong Fund

Maui Food Bank

Maui Humane Society

my family is based in Oahu, but i consider all the islands my home even though i physically haven’t stepped foot on them before. seeing all the homes and history and memories being lost in this hurts.

if you are unable to donate, don’t feel guilty—doing things like spreading the word and making people aware of the situation helps as well. thank you for whatever you can do! mahalo

UPDATE: removed Maui Mutual Aid Fund for now because upon further research using the charity checking sites provided by this gov site, it doesn’t appear in results unlike the others listed. so i advise caution for now if you decide to donate there! they may still be legitimate, but i want to exercise caution.

me, instantly clicking follow when I see the jason todd pic in Nikita's character post. For, no matter in rain, snow, sleet or hail, nothing will keep me from Jason Todd.

heheh i feel you ;)

[spikingtheodds-if]

I play volleyball and I was just thinking about how there weren’t any sport if’s for it, and I’m so excited that I found this!

haha that's excatly what led me to making this if! I play volleyball and one day I just thought "hmm i wonder if there's any IFs about it" and i wrote my own

Magici but retro-ish

[spikingtheodds-if]

Time seemed to slow down as your muscles coiled, every fiber of your being honed in on that one moment. As the ball reached its apex, you launched yourself into the air, a burst of controlled power. Your arm swung back, and with a thunderous crack, your hand connected with the ball. You could almost hear the collective intake of breath from the crowd. The ball rocketed downward, a streak of white lightning aimed unerringly for the opposing court. The ball hit the floor with a triumphant thud, a resounding echo of victory. In that fleeting instant, you felt invincible. And you were.

Is there a better match than you and volleyball?

You, arguably the most promising spiker of your generation, led your highschool team to victory by winning against your ex-bestfriend slash rival, Nikita.

You couldn't believe you won a volleyball scholarship for the university of your dreams; and maybe you were right not to. An anonymous source convinced the university that you partook in doping and steroid use, which led them to drop you.

With no options left due to the allegations, you decided to accept a scholarship to a minor university with an unknown and lacking volleyball club, the Boarwood Titans. What's worse is that you are now forced to become a battery with your childhood rival, Nikita being the setter and you the spiker.

Can you work together with your rival to lead your team to the victor? Or will hate prevail? And will you find out who really spread the rumors against you?

A fully customisable main character, including gender, pronouns, personality, looks, jersey number, playing style, and many more!

Choices that impact the story throughout, including your team's ranking and dynamic, your reputation as a spiker, your grades, your fame, and more.

Choose between 7 romance options - figure out the love/hate relationship with your rival, fall in love with your childhood best -friend, fall back in love with your ex, the coach's child, a dedicated supporter, a mysterious med student, and the team's ex-spiker whose place you took.

Solve a mystery: who is the anonymous source hellbent on ruining your dreams?

Nikita Raymond [RO, F/M/NB]: Once your training buddy and now your rival, you wonder if the infamous "Tiger" is the one behind the allegations.There is no place for love between you two. They hate you as much as you hate them; but you'll have to to put that aside if you want to win. Can you?

Klaus/Klara Padel [RO, F/M/NB]: A stern and strict figure in your team, they're especially wary of you ever since you took their spot as a spiker. They've since made it their personal goal to make your stay at the university a living hell. They want to get their spot back, and they've got the motivation. Part of them hopes you'll be able to impress them and show them you deserve their spot, but until then, you'll have to suffer.

Jeremiah/Jerilynn Blake [RO, FtM/MtF]: The team's sweetheart, they're loved by everybody, and for a good reason. Always sporting a smile on their face and snacks in their hand, they quickly become one of your closest friends at Boarwood University.

Bree [RO, F/M/NB]: Your best-friend and setter in your previous team. They quit volleyball but still enrolled at Boarwood to be with you. A constant in your life since you were little, you'll find that Nikita's presence will create tension between you two. What's really going on between them?

Andrea Michelle [RO, F/M/NB]: Despite being the Boarwood Titans' most dedicated supporter, their stoic and hot-and-cold behaviour confuses you. They take an interest in you, only to ignore you for days. What's really up with this mysterious med student?

Angelina/Angelo Shasco [RO, F/M/NB]: Your charming ex. Things get messy when you find out your least favourite ex is at Boarwood, and they seem dedicated to not making you forget the past you had, and not in a positive way. Oh boy, spotting them at one of your games might cause either the win of the century or your life's biggest blunder.

I hope this won’t be spoilery so I’ll make it broad but will there be a main reason why A and MC or will there be choices? And how long has it been since the break up?

The reason is that either MC or A cheated. You'll be able to choose which one of them did as well as how far they went (or if MC simply talked to someone and A accused them of cheating because of it).

Whatever the scenario you pick, the reoccuring theme in A's route is attempting to regain trust in each other and trying one more time. Again, this is the easiest way to play A's route is to begin as friends with benefits, though just friends to lovers is also possible of course.

Of course, starting from an unhealthy relationship and trying to turn it into a healthy once is a hard task, one that will need a lot of work from both sides! And it's not a given fact that A or MC will be able to move on and try again, it's something that the choices you make as the player will affect a lot.

There will be a lot of character development on both sides, don't view MC or A as inherently 'evil' people/characters because I promise you that they (including all the other characters) will have the potential to learn and grow a lot as the story progresses.

And it's been a few years since the breakup, something close to five. :)
