#dating sim concept

[banana-on-board]

bout that dating sim,,, how about this

early early earlyyyyy af concept but hear me out: the player is a pacifist imp who, instead of killing crewmates, romances them! Or whatever their misguided concept of "romance" implies... It involves a lot more tentacles than it should.

I'm thinking maybe Green keeps killing crewmates in the background (in-game, the player doesn't know its them), and tries to frame you at every turn. You must "romance" all available crewmates, or, at the very least, have enough lovers on your side so you can get a tie or convince the others not to eject you.

Prove your innocence, gain your coworkers' trust and "romance" them so hard they'll never question anything you say ever again!

I thought of Red, Purple, Green and Orange to start out with, two crewmates and two imps. However it could potentially be the whole crew if the project ever comes to fruition! That'd be monumental task to do, so, for now, it's just these four.

What do y'all think? Any suggestions or ideas are much appreciated :D

I was struggling to fall asleep last night, and in the process I came up with a concept for a Dispacth dating sim.

You play as Robert Robertson III (obviously) and basically you get to romance most of the team (I feel like Coupe, Punch-up, and Prism would be off the list, possibly also Waterboy, or maybe like a "we saw you from across the bar and we liked your vibe" deal with Coupe and Punch-up) and it should be called HR Violation.

Basically you try your hardest to woo one (or more, who knows) of your co-workers without getting an HR violation put out against you (although I don't know if the HR department exists in that office). This should obviously include the general team but also Royd and Galen. I think this could be beautiful.

(I really just want this to happen because I wish Robert and Flambae could kiss but shhhhhhhhhhh)

Sorry the pictures aren't so great— But here's the main gang in Tomodachi Life! Since I cant draw over the bangs, some horns needed to he changed to suffice for now.

Next will be the Secondary Cast (and eventually their actual outfits.)

HEY YOUR BACK!!!!! 😄

I didnt think people would be that excited to see me again! Lol, Hi!

Depression kinda hit like a truck. Still kinda coping after the passing of my Opa. (German for Grandpa) since it was not only sad but also kind a traumatic.

I still havent really picked up a pencil or drawn anything except for last Saturday. But thats also because we are preparing to sell my grandparents home and taking a bunch of their stuff into my home and its cluttered and messy as all hell.

So its kinda the main reason I haven't been around. That and I havent been into an exclusive fandom which is weird for me. Though getting my Vox plush has rekindled/reminded me of my boy of course lol. Rn the other thing is have interest in is Honkai Star Rail.

But life's been getting a little better. I've been feeling a little bit happier and im TRYING to draw again. Mostly wanting to draw my Dating Sim concept characters. (@hellcell-ademonicdatingsim) I know it's not something people care for on here at all. But its something I miss drawing (despite not having many encouraging me to draw it like they used to which is a bummer but such is life.)

So recently I picked up a concept I thought of like... 8 years ago or so, of a dating sim where the characters are based on bugs. I redesigned some of them and created others, these aren't even all of them just yet, but it's been pretty fun

In order, we have Quincy (honey bee), Ahmed (aedes aegypti mosquito), Lyan (ladybug), Lexi (monarch butterfly), Sheldon (garden snail), Sylvia (silverfish), Richard (american cockroach) and Drea (blue dasher dragonfly).

Also back when I was like 14 making the original versions, everyone was so white and skinny and all men 💔 cause it was a BL game idea, so today I'm making some of those characters female or nonbinary and not white lmao

A dating sim idea I'm brewing up. I wasn't kidding I seriously want a Bill Cipher dating sim and I have to make it myself I will.

I have the plot of the story already, but I don't know whether or not anyone would want to play as an old man, which you decide name and appearance, romancing other old men.

Or the other idea is you make a character of any gender, who is old, and romance other old folk. Again you would choose name and appearance, but also gender for this character.

I have 4 characters already drawn up and ideas for 5 others already. I just wanted to see if anyone would be interested in either version of a dating sim revolving around romancing old folk/men. Because stories about old folk falling in love and spending the rest of their days together make me unbelieveably happy. I'll probably be working on this project for a while, but I guess I want to see if there'd be any interest in it. If you have anything you'd like to say feel free to message me or leave them in the tags and I will read them! I will make a tag for the game so if I post more content about it you can find it by searching "the tides are coming". I will leave the plot below as well!

Plot:

Your daughter has decided that you are going to be living with her after the last accident you had, which left you in the hospital for a week. It was your worst fall yet. So you have packed up and moved out of the farm house you lived in the past 30 years. The last 5 years were spent alone after the death of your spouse. So you pack up your things, leaving the house and farmland to your Nephew’s son because your daughter and her small family are not interested in it. You move to a small portside city where your daughter and her partner are living. Their child had just moved out to go to college so they are more than happy to take you in. Though you suspect they’ll come back after schooling is done, so you may want to look for your own place, though your daughter may say it’s not necessary. Best keep all options open. It’s there in Fyrestrum, the portside city, where you meet a thriving community of old folk and culture. Take your time to talk to those around you and if you’re lucky maybe you’ll find a new love to boot. Good luck and remember no matter what you are loved.

Am I planning a visual novel/dating sim with my OCs where you uncover dark and possibly eldritch secrets behind a seemingly normal detective agency? What are they hiding? Why do they always appear just as supernatural crimes were committed? And why are they just so, so irresistible.....

Wishlist now on Steam

(jk, i will never pull this off professionally enough )

Vincent -> Garden Tiger Moth / Mothman

Trope: dark and brooding, quiet unless you crack his shell. Very professional

Timmothy -> Worm on a string

Trope: Shy, skittish, secretly the messed up one

Luka -> Lynx with a greedy tailmouth

Trope: Asshole on the outside, soft boy on the inside

More OCs might join the roster should I ever get anywhere with it
