AF Dating Sim

CYALM'S ROUTE IN PROGRESS | Honestly made entirely out of boredom. | Team of one

[adventure-forward-dating-sim]

{✶} Hello And Welcome! {✶}

My name is Nox, I'm the main developer of this dating simulator. I made this entirely out of boredom and also I'm currently fixated on this beautiful game (disclaimer that I don't support Explode1). I think that the points don't have enough love so I decided to make a dating simulator so people like me can gush over their favorite points. If you have any questions about this, let me know and please don't hesitate to ask anything about my version of the characters. You're welcome to ask me anything unless I deem it not suitable for answering.

What you need to know about me is I am an adult (20 but will be 21 next year) who is obsessed with space, Roblox games, and just about anything that makes me nerodivergent (I have ADHD). I love cats since they are my favorite animal (please send pictures of your cats I beg you). I struggle with insomnia so if you see me awake/online at 5 AM or something (EST [My Time]), don't worry about it. I am transmasc (He/It + Neos) and I am pansexual.

I think this is it for my introduction, feel free to ask any questions about me if you want to know something.

Hey guys it's me, Aster (yes I changed my name again). Due to some personal stuff, I kinda drifted away from the Adventure Forward community for a bit but now I'm back and I am now rewriting the entire introduction to the game and Cyalm's Romance route. I moved to a new writing site called Ellipsus since Google Docs will steal your writing and feed it to AI. I didn't want my hard work to be fed to an AI so I deleted all my project writings and started anew on Ellipsus. I will give you all updates as soon as I can and lately my mental health has been going down the drain.

I sincerely apologize for the radio silence since the past few months or so. I promise I'm okay (for the most part). I thank you all for being patient with me and my fiancee while we both struggle with our own personal issues. The project (or any of my projects) aren't dead. I lost motivation temporarily but it came back.

THE PROJECT LIVES ON I PROMISE!

So due to this "friend" backstabbing me and my fiancee four days ago, we no longer have a coder... I unfortunately don't have any experience with coding so if anyone wants to work on this project for free, DM me on discord (@20lluxcapt0r_2). We desperately need a coder. So if you're interested, please don't hesitate to reach out to me

Tomorrow is my birthday. I turn 20. Holy shit like I don't know what to do in this situation. You guys are awesome and I love you all (platonically). You guys make me surprised that you all even love this silly project.

Anyways this is all I'm gonna say before I get all sappy lo

Mod Nebula/Romelo out!

Update: There's now gonna be things to indicate that if the player (you) made a right decision or a wrong decision

[adventure-forward-dating-sim]

Are you working on this alone?

No actually, I'm working on it with my fiancee. She's gonna help me with the music, and other things she wants to help me out with. Doing this all on my own is hard so it's nice to have help

[adventure-forward-dating-sim]

Update: I'm working on this with my fiancee and a friend of mine who knows what he's doing when it comes to coding

[adventure-forward-dating-sim]

Thanks to a team member of mine, we got Ren'py working! Whoo! Cyalm Route is still in progress! :oD

also will pasless and morward be in the game, because the rest of the ascension points have some fans. just asking cuz i remember they existed half way through writing this.

If anyone wants to ask anything like facts about the characters or how the development is going, feel free to ask! :oD

Spoiler alert: I have yet to learn to code and I'm struggling to find a free visual novel maker because I'm broke 😭

My brother told me to use Godot but I need to learn Python and slowly transition to a new type of coding 😭😭😭😭

[luck-and-music]

we actually know a pretty good free visual novel maker, that being Ren'Py! it’s pretty easy to learn as long as you aren’t sleep deprived 24/7 like we are-

[adventure-forward-dating-sim]

Ooh that's a great tip. I'll keep that in mind lol

[adventure-forward-dating-sim]

PLEASE GIVE VOIXER WE NEED VOIXER I NEED VOIXER I WANT VOIXER VOIXER THE BEST

Here's what the talking animations would look like probably. I'm using Arrolin in a dragon form as an example
