Hey there, fellow Jojo enjoyers!

Welp. Not sure how to start this, other than:

A JOJO FAN GAME VISUAL NOVEL IS UNDER WAY

I am in the process of making a fan game for Jojo's Bizarre Adventure!

Long story short: How this all came about. A few friends and I were playing the Joestar Struck fanmade visual novel, and it was a lot of fun. It included characters up until Part 4, and it was a pretty investing experience trying to 100% each route, even with the game having a limited cast.

So it got me thinking...

What if we made another fangame, with more romanceable characters than just the main "Jojo" from each part?

More info under the cut!

To start out, here's the basic premise:

Visual novel style fangame, with storylines specific to each romanceable character

College setting, so that every romanceable character is aged up to an adult

Certain "side characters" and "villains" are also romanceable. Current cast of characters is set to a total of 34 character storylines, ranging from parts 1-6. (I wanted to fit in a lot more, but my initial list was closer to 50 characters and that was too much. As it is, 34 is A LOT.)

Other non-romance characters will make cameos throughout, as well, and several storylines get to play off of each other where they intersect

Planned Features: Customizing Your Experience!

For multi-part characters, pick their outfits/appearances. (Young Joseph or Old Man Joseph? Phantom Blood Dio or Stardust Crusaders DIO? ;P)

Choose whether you want just the fluff romance otome-esc experience of wooing your favorites, or if you want to enable more, ahem... explicit content.

It's still early stages right now, currently in the process of plotting everything out, but Inbox and Asks are OPEN!!

I will also be putting up additional posts this week with the full character roster.

Let me know if you'd be interested in a few storyline teasers! Feel free to drop an Ask to share your headcanons or any interesting thoughts you might have.

But in the meantime, I have to ask...

What would you like to see, as a JJBA fan?

[jobros-vn]

heyy, it's been awhile since you posted here so i hope this message finds u well :)

i'm just curious if you're planning any platonic endings/routes in this game! i like dating sims but i'm also ace/erotophobic so having characters flirt with me makes me cringe sometimes. joestar struck had a couple friendship endings which made me so happy, but you plan to have A Lot more characters so i understand if you'd rather just stick to 1-2 endings per character! either way i'm looking forward to it! good luck!!!!

Yes, I'm doing well now! Got sick for a few weeks and the catch up has been insane. I didn't realize it's been so long since I last posted, life got hectic between classes and health stuff. Woops! We also got a new cat (upping our total to 6 cats and 1 dog) so things have been a little crazy LOL.

But! Let me assure you that I'm still working on the VN. I just finished coding the pronoun system and working on some back end coding assets. I'll give an update on those soon, so stay tuned! ;)

As for your ask, I didn't initially plan on making platonic routes, but now that you mention it... It would be a great idea! And it would be rather simple for me to integrate, though it might make the routes a little shorter since it will skip romance dialogue. I'm already planning a system that I call the "spice level/meter" that adjusts what scenes and dialogue show up, so adding another level to it would be easy enough, and I was already thinking of having "neutral" routes that aren't bad endings or romantic ones, where you part ways as friends. I'd be glad to add platonic routes as a feature!

Here's what I'm thinking for "spiciness levels" so far:

Sweet = Platonic route, skips romance and NSFW scenes

Mild = Fluff romance, no NSFW text scenes or mature art

Moderate = Fluff romance, NSFW text scenes of before/after, keeps mature/suggestive art but skips explicit art

Medium-hot = Fluff romance, NSFW text scenes, keeps all art but blurs/censors explicit art

Spicy = All content unlocked, including uncensored explicit art

Do you think this might be too ambitious? I'd love to hear some feedback on this stuff. It's y'all's engagement that really fuels my motivation to keep going, though my passion for all of jjba will never wane. Thank you for the ask, the well wishes, and the luck! I have a feeling I'm going to need it! ❤️

You know, I've been thinking...

I've always imagined JobrosVN to be a placeholder name for the VN itself, and now that I'm starting to do some drawings and planning out the opening scenes, it's got me wondering about the final VN name.

So, I'd like to ask you all for some feedback!

Considering that this is a university-setting JJBA dating sim VN that spans parts 1-6 and has 30+ characters with unique storylines, what do you think would be a good name? Here's what I've come up with so far, after brainstorming with friends. Feel free to offer your own suggestions, or let me know if there's more than one that you really like!

Potential names for JobrosVN: What's your favorite?

Joestars' Bizarre University

Speedwagon Scholars: University Days

Joestar Academy: All-Star Crush

Golden Experience: Campus Life

Star-Crossed Scholars

Jojo's Bizarre Academy: Heart of Gold

The Over Heaven Anomaly

Other (please put suggestions in comments, tags/reblogs, or send via ask!)

So far, Jojo's Bizarre Academy: Heart of Gold and The Over Heaven Anomaly are my favorites. I'm heavily leaning towards The Over Heaven Anomaly, considering the premise of the VN is essentially time-warping 6 parts to all coexist at once.

BUT! I wanted to ask you all for your opinions, because I want this to feel as much like your passion project as it is mine. I'm loving the feedback you've all been giving me so far!

[jobros-vn]

Hey all!

Thank you for your patience, I know it's been quite a while since my last update. Like I mentioned in the latest Ask post, things have been a little hectic in my home life. I do have temperamental health that can get in the way of things sometimes, and my college classes have been draining me more than usual, of late. Not to mention taking care of 7 animals and a disabled partner on a daily basis, things can be quite... interesting. Needless to say, my life is never boring! 🤣

But please rest assured that I am making steady progress behind the scenes! Pronoun systems, spice levels, cameos, extra-curricular activities, and more will be showcased soon!

Thank you all for the engagement and the motivation. Please keep it up, and stay tuned! I am extremely excited to make this VN as a love letter to an incredible piece of media that we all love, and I couldn't do it without you all!

In the meantime, my inbox is open. If you have any questions about me, the VN itself, or just want to yap about headcanons on jjba characters, feel free to toss me an ask or leave a comment/reblog. Heck, if there's anything you'd like to see, any fun jjba art/memes/doodles you want to share, or a funny/neat idea you have for a scene in the VN, let me know! It might even get incorporated in the VN, if you'd be willing to (fully credited to you, of course!).

As a side note... I am tempted to do an "about me" post, but I also like the idea of this blog being more focused on the love of jjba media. Hmm.

So, I'll ask you, my jobros:

What do you all think? Should I make an about me, or link you all to my main tumblr(which is a mishmash of reblogs, tbh, and I rarely post anymore)? Should I share with you all my favorite jojokes and memes? Or should we keep this blog mostly VN-related?

[jobros-vn]

Is Suzie Q going to be a side character in the VN? :]

Yesss!! Beloved Suzie Q is definitely going to be making a cameo appearance as a side character. I love her so much!!

[jobros-vn]

Question Time!

For the Doppio / Diavolo storylines, there's multiple ways I could go about it. Which are you leaning towards most?

Romance Doppio and Diavolo at the same time, showing the duality of them both

Romance either Doppio or Diavolo, separately. Possible conflict from the other

Give the player the choice for either above option

I don't have a preference / see results

A secret other option (let me know in comments, please!)

There were so many more characters I wanted to include, as well, but with 30+ characters on the roster, it's already quite the undertaking.

But rest assured, there will be plenty of cameos from other characters not on this list!

So, whose storylines are you most excited to see? And whose cameos are you most looking forward to?

[jobros-vn]

since there will be kira, romancing pucci would be really really nice( i love him–)

AAAAAAAAAAA, Pucci is actually one of my faves, so he is definitely going to be a romance option! I can't wait to write him! I hope I do him justice.

In the meantime, enjoy my favorite meme of him. :D
