I'm making the first dating roguelike simulator.

:)

Have fun
When you have something more fleshed out post it here

>>717426198 (OP)
seems cool
ganbare

What am I even looking at? The fuck are those numbers suppose to mean?

>>717426198 (OP)
Sounds interesting. Good luck anon.

>>717427660
the id of the girl.

I still need to generate 256 names.

>>717426198 (OP)
Add ntr. But make it incoherent and schizophrenic.

>>717426198 (OP)
Is there sex or what

>>717428058
yes.

>>717426198 (OP)
I'd play it

>>717426198 (OP)
What do you plan for graphics? Will you draw it, use AI, or hire? Or will it be text-only?

>>717428578
use AI as placeholders.

If the game becomes something beyond 5 downloads, just get some fan to redraw the AI art.

cris, can you answer this question: why do you think players would possibly be interested in a dating sim where the characters they date are random

>>717426198 (OP)
Add a character with hair covring there eyes please

>>717429169
there's 256 girls, not random.

>>717429414
Couldn't you at least round that number so it doesn't ruin the immersion by having exactly 2^8 girls?

>>717429525
They're 16 families of 16 girls.

>>717426198 (OP)
no art?

>>717426198 (OP)
Cool. I don't browse /v/ enough anymore to be able to run into a future thread of yours. So when you're done, where are you going to upload to? itch.io or something? What keywords should I search to find it in the future?

>>717429584
Each family has a different theme, i presume
Kinda cool, just make it not too predictable/prone to min/maxfagging and it should work

>>717429661
I will upload ot itch.io.

Just search for chicuelas 256.

>>717429709
yeah.

Like there will be 8 families, each one being like east asian family, european, hindii, latina families, and a demonic, a military and the rest will be furry families, like feline, canine, etc.

>>717428735
Use AIsloppa for internal placeholders sure, but DO NOT allow anything with AI to touch a public build, it'll poison the image of your game irreparably and first impressions are everything. Jobless artists (female) that would work on an indie game for free are everywhere.

>>717429885
I don't have the resources to draw 256 girls.

>>717429940
Find a Temmie, duh

>>717429858
>no goth family
my interest wavers
you could even make them romanian (vampires)

>>717429979
sure, but I need first to finish something with AI as placeholders.

>>717430024
there's a demonic family, so there will be at least I think a succubi and vampire.

>>717426198 (OP)
What is the "rougelike" element to it? You lose and have to start over again if you get rejected? Is there anything you carry over into the new runs?

>>717427757
Are the girls going to be randomly generated (names/appearance), or will you save 256 set-in-stone girls into a database and pull randomly from the lot? How exactly is it going to work?

>>717428735
AI art is going to be too inconsistent if you plan on creating many assets. I'd suggest learning pixel art via, it'll be a bit of a pain in the ass to jump into, but will become pretty easy via tutorials.
I'm not sure if you also plan on having headshots of the girls, but if you do you have a lot of work cut out for you and again, pixel art is going to be your best bet. You can hand-draw 10 basic face shapes, 10 different shoulder shapes, 10 different eye shapes, mouth shapes, nose shapes, brows, and perhaps even more hair styles, recolor them and either layer them onto each other to create permanent matches or shuffle them randomly each time using code. Given that you plan on having 256 girls, that would probably be your best option.

>>717430034
You should, but don't release it in public, use it to try to get someone to join your team and draw assets in your vision.
If you publicly release an AI asset build, even if you specifically call it a super early demo, your game will be instantly disregarded as low effort AI shovelware and you can't wash that reputation away.

>>717430218
I will have a fixed set of 256 girls with a predefine routine and tastes and design.

I will use roguelike mechanics like a random dungeon and turn based walk, but mix them with dating simulator mechanics like levels that represent areas of the city, plus a calendar and routine system.

It's like a roguelike version of tokidoki memorial.

I will use AI as placeholders BTW.
This is a free game I want to make for fun, not a commercial project.

>>717430301
I will release this for /v/

>>717430034
Embrace ugly art, anon
You can always upgrade it, but if your beggining it honest, your soul will never be brought into question

This sounds like nothing more than idea guy's talk so the smartest thing to do is to fail fast.
Plan out where you want to be 4 weeks from now and if you don't even have 10% of it, let it die and improve from your mistakes.

>>717430649
It's an idea I want to get it done quickly so It stops bothering me for years.

I dont care if this make money or become more than a meme on /v/

>>717430301
>you can't use AI >you can't use rpgmaker >no unity either
I'm tired of having to placate dramatic posters for "reputation". you can't do anything

>>717430649
unironically this

>>717426198 (OP)
sounds cool bro

>>717430301
dumb anti ai cultist

>>717430543
Are you going to hardcode a personality and responses for each character? Because that will turn out to be an immense amount of work.

It's hard to gage specifics with what you're doing, but if you're going to include so many girls, you need to be thinking about generating just enough personality to be interesting and unique, without bloating your project or workload. I would personally suggest forming different personality groups to start and pooling potential responses to certain phrases or actions into a database they can pull from. Perhaps a layered point system, where they all get a set of different personality quirks which determine how well they respond to player choices? You can sub-sort database responses for different personalities into quirks as well, which makes their responses even more tailored. Idk just a suggestion bc I actually want to see you release and flesh out this project. Too many devs fail to stick it through.

This is great.
:D

>>717431381
I want to have some ways to generate the girls like in the SIMS and Dwarf fortress, but have their stories be like fixed like a normal story, but have their reactions be like Dwarf fortress.

Maybe I should make this into pixel art.

>>717433014
I'm very pro you making pixel art, even for a hobby game

>>717433242
yeah, what I want is getting fan art.

I suppose making it pixel art would make people more willing to make fan art like stardew valley.

>>717433378
It also honestly doesn't have to be 10/10 art & you can just toss in some placeholders to start if you want to envision how it all will look.

Don't stretch yourself thin though, focus on the gameplay first and foremost.

>>717426198 (OP)
Those are nice ideas and cool concepts it would be a shame if someone with more manpower was lurking in this thread...

>>717434754
No one with manpower lurks on 4chan.

>>717434754
>manpower
what are you a faggot? the only thing that applies "power" to my "crank" is women

>>717434754
Work ethic? 4chan? Lol

>>717430892
He never finishes a game and he's always starting a new project. He just likes the validation from clueless people

Do the girls have bladders that the player can make them pee themselves?

progress.

:)

somebody told me to look at tokimeki as an example of dating sims, and there's moonrunes in the E N G translation.
How do you call it an eng patch and there's Japanese text? who TF thinks that is acceptable?
I feel bad for wasting my time and listening to that faggot.

>>717426198 (OP)
Dating sim is the lamest genre possible.
I want violence, adventure and challenge. Dating sims are for women and trannies.

>>717431189
>cultist
Extremely ironic post. He's 100% right, the vast majority of your potential audience will instantly dismiss anything AIslop. If you want to make stuff entirely for Indians who think LLMs are sentient, you do you, but it's important to be realistic.
