Description Soooo I may or may not be working on a dating sim. It will take FAR MORE work than I am willing to devote to it, but the idea is fun to play with.

Now with names!
Lily, the main character. Recently lost her parents, and has started attending the local girls' boarding school. Very bland and boring, since she's really just an avatar.
Relevant tropes: [link]

Sarah, the rich girl. The main romance option. Very sweet, if slightly bossy. Enjoys teasing the main character.

Taylor, the tsundere. Also the childhood friend. Has been pining after Lily all her life, even transferring schools to follow her. But has yet to tell anyone her reasons.

Violet, the shy girl. Exactly what she sounds like. Very shy, usually found in the library. I love her.

Elinor. Lily's stepsister, and an alumnus of the school. She is the main character's guardian, and visits her once a week (more often if you choose her route).

Miss Ruby Allen, the teacher. She is made of sex, clearly. Can you blame the main character for wanting a little of that?

This actually inspired me to base a dating sim off of Mage the Awakening. I don't know why, but I created at least 7 different romantic options, some of which I fleshed out quite a bit. Weird, but fun.

Good Morning, I am Nemo.

Stop having so much awesome, Bats! There's only so much to go around you know! ...oh, wait. No, never mind. There IS no limit to the awesome. In that case, keep at it!

Seriously, I love the idea. (Wish there was a Yandere character too but oh well.) But game-making programs take up so much time. THEY EAT YOUR LIFE! (More of MY free time than I'd like to admit goes into RPG Maker VX nowadays... O_o;; )

But if you are interested in messing around a little, I'd recommend RenPy . It's free and pretty user-friendly. That said, however, it still needs you to give it assets (Sprites, Backgrounds, music etc.) and, of course, a large game script. A little working knowledge of how computer code works DOES help, but isn't really necessary. It even comes with a pretty nice Visual Novel that functions as the Tutorial.

I can't help it!

This project appears to be pure fluff so far. No room for the crazy. But maybe next time. XP

I do not know NEARLY enough about compys to actually make a game. Maybe like a choose-your-own-adventure type story. But I doubt it. It is just fun to draw.

AGreaterDream In reply to BatNeko [2009-12-09 22:12:40 +0000 UTC]

Of course you can't. Some people are born awesome. Some people achieve awesomeness. And some people- ...wait, no, never mind. We don't care about those last ones. But you are cool, so enjoy the cool!

Awww... Nothing says "I love you" like dismemberment... Oh well!

Alright. I'd be happy to give you a rundown or explanation of how these things work if you ever need it. If you'd rather just have fun drawing it, that's cool too. ^_^

AGreaterDream In reply to BatNeko [2009-12-11 01:44:22 +0000 UTC]

Sorry - I guess I wasn't being clear.

I meant that if you ever DID want to produce this I could give you a rundown of the computer programming you'd need. Things like explaining how basic code worked and answering your questions.

It wouldn't be anything you couldn't find in FAQs around the web. But sometimes it helps to talk to someone directly, so if you needed that, I'd do my best to provide.

Oh, that. Hee. Well, it will be helpful to have someone I can annoy with questions if I ever do try. Thanks. ^^

AGreaterDream In reply to BatNeko [2009-12-13 02:56:15 +0000 UTC]

Sure! Nerds loooooove to talk for no reason, as der interwebs have proven. So if you have any questions, I can give you answers of any page length!

Sorry for the late reply, btw - internet's been coming and going since Friday where I am...

Oh! I also meant to say that those are some pretty cool characters with a lot of potential. WHERE DO YOU SUMMON THESE CHARACTERS FROM?! You have so much talent with design. SRSLY.

GAH! No, you beat me to it! XD
I've wanted to do a dating sim for a long time; I have the idea for the programing, but no idea for the characters. ):
I will SO play this if/when you actually make it! [For once, someone wants to do a yuri sim rather than a yaoi sim...]

BatNeko In reply to Mizyin [2009-12-08 22:06:42 +0000 UTC]

Hee. Probably won't happen. There are free programs online you can use to make them, but they require more computer skillz than I have.

I don't think I've ever seen a lesbian dating sim before. Bet it would be interesting.

Made of sex. Clearly

Childhood friend has too many buttons on her shirt. That must be why she's so pissed. Too much pressure. Needs more room to breathe :3

BEWBS. Because, if you've seen ANY dating sims, all the MAIN female characters have nice racks. Otherwise, it's pretty clear they aren't important. If they're a main character and lack the rack and aren't male, then they're either the antagonist, or have a super weird hair style/color/all of the above, or C. none of the above and you can't end up with that character.

I haven't played any real true-blooded dating sims, but this is the way they work-I know this much.

Well, I have a lot of Dating Sim Intros on Stepmania...(Cause the intro songs tend to be cute and really fun to listen to. Jingle Bell for Santa and Happy My Life Thank You For Everything are fun songs, and go with Circus Disk dating sims, I think.)

...Paimega Rock. It's for a dating sim called Paimega. The first line is 'A B C D *DRUM* Lets go, A B C D *drum* Yatta!'(I believe. I'm guessing.) It becomes clear in the video they're talking about the racks of the main characters, at one point in the video, a male teacher looking at four main characters and a teacher and glossing over the ONE flat girl for her MUCH bustier classmates and teacher. (Granted...A-flat girl, B, C, D...not so flat girls.) WOOTS!!!

I totally actually want a dating sim. But...the good ones these days are on the DS, and I don't have one. It also means I KNOW NOTHING OF PHEONIX WRIGHT AND HAVE NEVER PLAYED ANY OF THE PW GAMES.

Actually several dating sims are out for the PC, but you have to get them online.

D: I know! I'm sincerely wishing I get a DS for Christmas this year...course, considering the questions my dad and brother have been asking me, I MIGHT be getting a laptop of my own. Which WOULD be cool....(I am currently on my mom's computer.)

I know, but I have trouble finding the ones that are in English. And, y'know, don't cost money. I'm a poor teenager here....
