Today, as you pass through the dining section of First Class Trouble\u2019s luxurious restaurant, you may notice that something looks a bit different. One of the tables now has a reservation card, a small, but important and permanent change. <\/p>\n

When you think of First Class Trouble, you probably associate it with all the lying and backstabbing required to win. Our tagline is, \u201cWhere cocktails last longer than friendships,\u201d after all. But truth be told, we\u2019d always envisioned First Class Trouble as a game that would bring players together from around the world and create a cool place for the community to hang out.<\/p>\n

Little did we know, however, that a romance was brewing aboard the Alithea.<\/p>\n

We first met Adrianna and Henry when they announced their engagement to the First Class Trouble community on Discord. We were so touched by their story, we wasted little time contacting them for more details.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur story began when we met in the lobby of First Class Trouble and we instantly hit it off, or at least hit each other with champagne bottles,\u201d Adrianna said. \u201cWe were lucky enough that we ended up queuing the next three matches. After finding out how great we were at finding Personoids, and how we were such a great team, we decided to exchange details!\u201d<\/p>\n

From there, it was a simple matter of pure chemistry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile messaging for the first time, I immediately said he had a funny accent, as he is from the U.K., and I\u2019m from the U.S. And he said, \u2018They messed up at the Personoid factory.\u2019 From that moment, I was sold!\u201d<\/p>\n

We\u2019re pretty sure that Henry isn\u2019t really a Personoid, but you never can be completely certain. Fortunately for Adrianna, though, he hasn\u2019t demonstrated any real-world allegiance to C.A.I.N. \u2026 yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe played First Class Trouble every day for three months, hanging out, talking, and falling in love. It wasn\u2019t long before I flew to the U.K., and not even a week after I arrived, we were happily engaged! We will be getting married on November 21, 2021. The happiest we have ever been, all thanks to meeting in First Class Trouble, so we want to thank the team for making such an amazing game that works so well at bringing people together!\u201d<\/p>\n

After hearing this, the developers at Invisible Walls immediately started brainstorming ways of honoring Adrianna and Henry\u2019s story in-game.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

\u201cHow can you not just feel happy as humans, developers, and artists, that something you made can bring people together like that? It needs to be celebrated,\u201d said Niels Wetteberg, CEO of developer Invisible Walls. \u201cWe wanted something that was available to the entire community, as well as something that would stand as a tribute ‘forever’. We had a few ideas, but it all seemed to lack the level of romance needed to complement something like that. So, the table in the Restaurant level is now forever reserved for Adriana and Henry, and the wedding attire we\u2019ve made is now available in a DLC pack for anyone else who wants to celebrate love.\u201d<\/p>\n

The responsibility of blending wedding fashion with First Class Trouble\u2019s established time period and theme fell on Andreas Bech, Art & Design at Invisible Walls.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of thought goes into every piece of content we do. Even though we have a lot of quirky outfits in the game, every piece always must stay within the time period,\u201d Andreas said. \u201cFor example, we tried to design most of our dresses and suits with a high waistline, which was quite characteristic for clothing in that time period.\u201d<\/p>\n

And where do you turn for such specific inspiration?<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the wedding dress and tuxedo in particular, we were inspired by a couple of particular vintage designs, but wanted to add our own personal touch,\u201d Andreas said. \u201cTherefore, we added a red flower to the tuxedo, and embroidered the dress to give it a more formal wedding look. And of course, no wedding is complete without the rings!\u201d<\/p>\n

Adrianna and Henry\u2019s story reminds us that video games are pretty awesome. They provide us with countless hours of captivating stories and satisfying gameplay mechanics to immerse ourselves in, but they also have the power to bring people together in ways unlike any other form of media. <\/p>\n

They can create meaningful real-life friendships, and in some cases, even help us find our soulmates. And for everyone else\u2026 well, that\u2019s what the mute and block functions are for. <\/p>\n

We\u2019re so happy to have met Adrianna and Henry, and so thrilled to honor their story in First Class Trouble. The Wedding Pack DLC is available now on PS4 & PS5, and contains:<\/p>\n
