#1 Post by iiNeutral »

Stardom in Seoul
A guy/girl named Kyle (name and gender customizable) moves to South Korea/was born there to pursue their dream of becoming an idol. They are 21 years old, which is fairly old for an up-and-coming idol, which makes pursuing their dream difficult. In a last ditch effort, they audition for an extremely famous Korean pop band named "The Beat" and by a miraculous stroke of luck, they get in. The story is about their life as a famous idol. The story will chronicle their new found life as an idol, the various struggles and perks that come with it.

Features
4 dateable characters
Multiple Endings
Stat Management

Characters

Image

Park Jae-Hyun (romance option): The son of the CEO of Hadria entertainment, your company's rival entertainment company. He's very quiet, shy, and withdrawn, and prefers not talking much to people.
Kim Hye-Rin (romance option): A janitor who works at QT Entertainment (your company). She's very mysterious and hides a lot about herself, but will you be the one to unlock her secrets?
Min Ki-Woo (romance option): A member of "The Beat". He's hot-and-cold, and hides his emotions with a mask of anger and stubbornness.
Yang So-Young (romance option): A member of "The Beat". blunt, cynical girl with a tendency to speak what's on her mind.
Song Yihwa (romance option if stretch goal met): A member of "The Beat". She's a cheerful, happy go lucky woman.
Lukas Taylor (romance option if stretch goal met): A member of "The Beat". He's cold and distant, and rarely speaks.

Gameplay
There are four main categories of stats: Ability, Personality, Life, and Relationships.
Ability
- Acting
- Dancing
- Singing

These stats affect what role you will play in your group. It's recommended to raise at least 2 of the stats at once, but not try to raise all three.

Personality
Personality stats are two sided. That means, for example, if you raise the "Flashy" stat, automatically the "Reserved" stat will decrease. All these stats together compromise your personality and how the audience will treat you.

Flashy/Reserved
Emotional/Stoic
Intimidating/Approachable
Ambitious/Cautious
Solo/Group

Life
Life stats reflect your current standing in the K-Pop world.

Artistry
Fame
Money

Relationships
Relationships are how well you get along with other characters. High relationship stat means they will treat you well and are more likely to help you, while low relationship will mean they will treat you poorly and go against you. Build both friendships and enemies in this game! Whenever you make a dialogue choice, the game will show you how the relationships have changes. There will also be a way to check relationships stats in game, meaning it is not hidden. In one playthrough, you may choose to befriend everyone, and in another you may decide to make everyone enemies. The choice is up to you!

Questions
1. What do you think of the premise?
2. Is there anything you'd like to see included in the game?

This sound like a fun game to play! I am a bit hesitant to play stat games-but usually only if there's a calendar/days where you repeat a lot of the same activities. I like being in control of the character's personality and seeing how that will effect people's perception.

It would be neat to have certain BGM or music dedicated to a certain character/ a character theme ^^

This sounds like a very interesting and original project! I'll keep an eye into it for more news before forming an actual opinion but I like the premise.
