One I accidentally posted on the main forum so to save time I'm gonna post it here:
viewtopic.php?f=43&t=38119
Basically it's an LGBTQ-themed dating simulator that deconstructs tropes often found in Yaoi, particularly the ones with Unfortunate Implications. Sorry for posting it there, I just joined
Now for my other idea. Imagine Chobits ,but in a cyberpunk setting. The basic plot goes something like this: By 2045, there are advanced robots with arrival intelligences named XDolls, whose occupations range from normal like servants and entertainers to more blackmarket ones like prostitutes and bounty hunters. Shizuo is an otaku living with a robotics intern named Akira in 2065. One night,Akira makes the rather stupid decision of kidnapping an XDoll idol named Aine Amakoe to be their robot maid. Naturally the police catch up to them and now they're on the run from the law. They then get involved in returning another kidnapped XDoll named Reina and now have to travel several miles to return her to her original owner while still evading the police. I call this project Ningyo. Name may not be final
The game has some dating/raising sim elements that can award you with one of three endings for each of the three or four optional girls, but they're not the main focus. The focus is instead on how the story and characthers progress with the sim aspect only being a small part of it ,just with an impact.
The main difference between these two is that while I have assists available through a surpsingingly not sucky characther creation tool (don't worry it's not the Loli one). I don't have any for Ningyo ,so that'll come after Kaoru. Hope you're interested in either. If you are, replies are appreciated
