GxB games - survey

This is further research for the game I am currently making. Also just curious. Girls - What do you want out of a GxB game? What do you dislike about those you've played (either fan-made or pro) What is your favorite GxB game? What type of male character do you like? What can you not stand in a male...

My first and current project is a dating sim type game, but I really want to do a mystery (or murder mystery) for my next project. It would be a little weird to have a renai murder mystery, so it will probably just be a straight adventure game. I just feel so silly sometimes working on my current pr...

It depends on whether the main character is "you" or is already defined. I put my main chara's introduction at the beginning of the game, interspersed between the dialogue as sort of an "internal monologue." It doesn't make sense when you read into it too much like "hey, why...

Umakai in Lime-iro (the anime) was sort of a loser. Same with Watanuki in xxxHOLiC. I think if it's not overdone, it really gives a character some "real-ness." However, there's nothing I hate more than when a character complains about a perceived "problem" that really doesn't exi...

Music This site has an extensive library of royalty-free quality music, all you have to do is credit the site/author in your game. This site has an even bigger selection, HOWEVER if you plan to make money off your game you cannot use it. Just like the other site, you have to credit the author and s...

Research poll to better the game I'm working on

When you play a ren'ai game, would you rather have the main chara be "you," or to be given a set character?

Also, as a side note, do you prefer lots of story and few choices, or more choices but less written text?

For those who want a quick fix, it's a great idea. However, when it comes down to it a hardcore fan will be able to tell you used a paperdoll program to make your graphics. I firmly believe in originality, and finding a graphic artist (or doing the art yourself) so you can have original graphics is ...

The game is currently first-person.

BTW, proper proper grammar - is it really a must? I find that some characters just sound WEIRD saying "Are you okay?" when "You OK?" fits their personality better.

A major complaint about many of the fan-made games out there is that they have too much visual novel and not enough game (i.e. few choices, little freedom to develop your character.) I personally enjoy games with more choices, even if some of the writing quality has to be sacrificed. I could post so...

The Cheese Factor, main charas...

I am currently working on my first renai game, a GxB with an unprecedented (gasp) 3 male characters. The main character is supposed to be "you", i.e. you enter your name in the beginning and while writing the story I tried not to give "you" a distinct personality, etc. in order t...
