HikkiPanda here! When I was a kid, I always love to play 'Princess Maker' games. It's sad that we only have 'Princess Maker 2' translated
(and it's not even an official release >.>). So I'm thinking about making a similar game, since I don't see any chance for 'Princess Maker' 3 or 4 to get translated, and the fan's translation for 'Princess Maker 5' will still take a long while to finish. There is not much to see here for now, but hopefully the thread will have more info as I make more progress.
Setting:
A combination of Three Kingdoms Period, Sengoku Era, and Fantasy settings
Story:
Ryohoku Academy (name subject to change) is a prestigious school that only accept nobles and students with exceptional qualities. As a daughter of a middle class family, Kana never expect to get an invitation to attend such a prestigious school. but as the war rages the entire land, her school life won't be a peaceful one ...
Features (Everything is subject to change XD):
- 6 years of gameplay (in game time off course, not real life XD). Player start the game at age 12 and finish it at age 18
- 4 (ideally it should be 5) classes to take
- 4 boys and 3 girls to date (ideally I want at least 1 more girl, around 17 years old probably, I want to pair her with Kenshiro and give her the role of a reliable onee-san for the player
)- Growing Up, Kana and her friends will change their appearance every 2 years (yeah, it will be like a sudden growth spurt lol).
- Lover Ending and Best Friend Ending for each characters, depends on your actions, you can have more than one best friends, but only one lover allowed
- Kingdom Ending, whether your kingdom survive the war and stuff.
- Adventure, a simple one though ..
- City Management, at age 14 or older, you can influence the direction of the city development.
- Debate, if someone disagrees with your plan, challenge them to a debate to proof that they're wrong
- Duel, sometimes no matter how hard you try, words just can't get through some people's thick skull.
- War, this game is set in a kingdom where war rage on .. so naturally there will be a war somewhere in the middle of the game. It definitely won't be like those Turn Based Strategy games though ... something more simple but still fun hopefully ^^;
Features that are may/may not be implemented: (Everything is subject to change XD)
- Glorious Commander Duel, just like that awesome battle when Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei fights Lu Bu.
- Mount, Commander Duel won't be that glorious if everyone is on foot ...
- Diplomacy, good allies can save your city from tragic ends
