Announcement
Might as well make this announcement now before I forget.
I will be incredibly inactive from the 9th - 16th this month because me and my family are going on vacation, so hopefully I can make a little more progress before then.
I get what you're saying. Basically we'd want it so she thinks she's "moved on" from Sonic and Sonic decides to show interest in her and see if he can get her back to wanting to be with him?
Yes! That’d be perfect, especially since a few years would’ve passed since Amy was in that really obsessive phase.
14 for Amy sounds good. 15 is also an idea though, since we could have a part of the reason she approaches Sonic being "Sooonic! I'm 15 now! The same age you were when you saved the world a ton of times! I'm definitely mature enough for you now Sonic! Marry meee" and it'd be kinda funny since Sonic would be 17-18 at that point haha.
Yeah, maybe. I want Amy to be more mature here though, and heres kinda the reason why:
In dating sims typically it’s either you successfully hook up with them or you don’t. Similarly, in a lot of visual novels, there’s a good ending or a bad ending. Obviously the dating sim will have to have this system implemented (which I can do easily) and I can see the good ending/bad ending thing possible for everyone…except Sonic & Amy. In the good ending, obviously, the person would basically say yes, and in the bad ending, they’d basically say no. Each possible couple needs this, but with the more immature Amy that we see in most Sonic games, I can’t see her saying no to Sonic. Ever. So yeah, I think you get my point now.
Quick Update
So... good news. We’ve got pretty much everyone on the contributors list on board again, aside from @chocolachao, who I still have yet to get a response from.
With that being said, we are in urgent need of writers right now, since we only have 2 at the moment, and according to an older post that I’m too lazy to search for lmao, it seems 6 will be the perfect amount since everyone will have 3 paths to write. Though I want to wait until we finalize the branches and zones (yes I’m going to get to those soon) before anyone starts writing again, here’s the view-only doc.
I'm also wondering if we should age up the characters? All of them are around 15-17 in canon aside from Amy I think, right? To not make it a little weird I'd say we might want to make Amy older than 12. And it can be a group decision on whether or not to age everybody up with accordance to her or just make them whatever ages we want. I say this since I'm coming into this project as a young adult, and I know that it can be weird to think about writing minors who are too young below the age of 18.
Funny thing is I was also thinking about this too recently. I think the most suitable age for Amy would be 14, in my opinion.
As for replacing Nicole, I think I'd vote for Tikal? I've always liked Tikal. We could either bring her back as a ghost or something or just say "screw it" and just have her exist in the present of the world we create. I'm also a lot more familiar with characters from the games than characters from the comics. I feel there's potential for interesting interactions between her and some of the characters too, Knuckles in particular.
I’m thinking “screw it” would be the best option. Sonic never really had logic anyways.
So that makes it Nicole 0, Honey 1, Tikal 1, Sticks 0. and yes I put Nicole there because you can also vote to keep her.
Oops, I didn't see that you were thinking of replacing someone and not adding more. Sorry! I would probably pick Honey out of the those, for my opinion.
Alrighty. Good to know!
