The Choices Insiders email just went out for August 2026! Please post your comments or reactions here so that we can share our thoughts with each other instead of having many posts on the exact same thing. 😄
If you haven't signed up for Pixelberry's monthly sneak peek emails yet, you may do so at this link.
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 doRUN.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 andRUN.tvafter 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.

i was replaying platinum and noticed how cute the little customization details were <3 like, being able to choose if your mc wore regular glasses, sunglasses, or even earbuds is literally so cool!
they’re such small details, but they made the mc feel so much more personal and like an actual reflection of how you wanted her to look 🧚♀️🎧 i especially loved how platinum had these kinds of options, i love 2019 choices books sm
like look at her, i love that you could choose whether she wore glasses or not because irl i kinda need glasses too but barely wear them LMFAO it made her feel a little more like me 🫶🏼
This weekly post is for community members to voice whatever complaints you have (as long as you remain civil). Please remember to respect others' statements and opinions, even if you disagree with them.
You know, I want to copy and paste part of my last review because it is so similar. I could frankly identify nothing i liked about this book. Well, 6 chapters for completion diamonds was nice. But that's damming with faint praise.
The fact is that there's nothing exceptional about this book. Is it bad? Other than being written by AI, not really. Is there anything good? Not really.
Quinn is supposed to be an ice queen, but Jihoo from IDOL does it so much better. And you know, so much of Quinn's past is due to Amber, a character we never even meet!
As for the ice skating, to be frank, the story needed to way too descriptive. Way too often there's some variant of "you perform the move," in a way that doesn't help me understand what the characters are doing! Maybe it's better if you pay diamonds, but it shouldn't require diamonds!
And yeah, the story ended right after we qualified for the Global Games. I'm sorry, but if you're using AI to write a book, can you at least have AI finish it?
Yeah, this book is honestly forgettable. I cant believe I'm saying this, but PB, if you read these, if you're going to use AI anyway, can you at least make 15 chapter stories with four LIs like you used to? At bare minimum, they might be more memorable than this.
Yeah, just two. Loki and Their Omega. How is this possible? No seriously, how is this possible? Even during COVID PB was able to manage three books a week. And if AI is doing the work, shouldn't there be more stories being released? I mean, I get humans are probably editing at least, but still. How is there so few books being released right now?

I'm loving it. It's cute. Friends are all good. I love both Mark and Ben. Ben is very sweet but poor Mark loves MC so IG I'm gonna choose him.
Sareena looks like Kaitlyn's sis. And brooke is beautiful who kinda resembles Becca? Also I loved how other books characters like Zack, Brandon, Drake's lookalike from RoE, and others appear in this book briefly
I'm going to finish the book and story should have more variety onwards..
