A game based on The Goose Girl. That is all.

Because if I had to be traumatized by that, so does everyone else.

I think you should tie the introduction in somehow.

OH MY GOD SAPPHI. YOU'RE BRILLIANT. THEY WOULD BE CRAZY TO NOT MAKE A MOVIE OUT OF THAT.


OKAY NEW PLOT :

The two whales, are actually the humans from the romantic comedy. But they get kidnapped by a secret United States organization and they get mutated into Orca whales. Afterwards the Communists capture the two orca whales and Hamtarou and they are imprissoned for the rest of their lives in different cells, nonetheless ;( and the movie looks as though its going to end.

BUT THEN BAMB. a 3 SEASON WEEKLY SERIES ABOUT THE TWO OF THEM TRYING TO GET OUT OF JAIL CALLED 'JAILBREAK."


Fuck, I'm a genius, why don't people pick up on these things.

Also, It will have a complete soundtrack by Justin Bieber. That way I catch every single range of possible audiance groups there are.


Now I'm just waiting for my big break.

Our main character is a guy who's an ordinary person with no real ambitions. He happens to resemble a currently popular teen idol. What does he do when girls his age mistake him for the celebrity? Does he take advantage of this coincidence? Or can he use this "power" for anything other than attracting girls and personal gain?

If you want to write this story, I'd recommend using two of the three parts. For instance, I think you could fuse the school romance story with the infected people story. (In other words, it's a school that strives to keep infected individuals safe until they're ready to see the world.) As for the fight-your-other-selves story... I'm not sure if you could smoothly transition from one of the other plots without a lot of work, but it's possible.

That reminds me of an idea that I've had for a while.

You know how in almost all horror movies, it's from the point of view of the recon team, after all the scientists have been killed? Instead, you play as one of the scientists.

It would start as a slice of life, but then the monster/zombie/alien gets out. Instead of the usual trope of people slowly getting whittled down one by one, they die in groves.

There is no way to survive. You aren't the first to die, and you aren't the last. You are simply another scientist, who dies before the "real" conflict starts.

I think it could be a great way of illustrating that it isn't the ending that matters, but the journey.

It seems I'm good at killing threads.

Story Concept: (BxG) You are the head butler. Nurture Guide ALL the maids!

You're the head butler?

Absolutely! You've worked very hard and very long for a rich family, and now you're a creepy wrinkly old man! Can you find love with these youthful, possibly underage maids?

Use your age, relative power, and wisdom to get all the underage maid girls!

Now I absolutely love this idea (>o<) Don't mind if I made a game with this?

There's a game like this titled "Maid Training" or something. You are a young man, out of option, recently employed as a maid trainer. Your job? To train maid, of course. There are three stats you need to train: Cleaning, Cooking, Laundry. You live in a mansion where you train three maids (typical: a tomboy, a sexy, a childish type) and you need to take care of the mansion at the same time (well, you get three maids to do that for you, no?).

The best part? The night training! Yeah, it seems every maids in VN/anime need to be trained for night activity (don't do this in RL or you'll get sued for sex harassment). What kind of training? Do you really need to ask?

I really miss this game. I have a copy but I completely forget where I put it and every attempt to find it failed (T__T)

LVUER! You simply must make a maid game! It's been quite a while since I've gotten my maid fix. :mrgreen:

A while ago, I wrote a sentence or two in this thread, trying to think of a maid-themed visual novel with some clever or interesting ideas. Still not entirely sure if including more than a scrap of realism would be a good idea.

There's a few entries on the VNDB with the tag "maid protagonist." A lot of them are explicit. And only a few such as "Ijiwaru MyMaster" are authentic reverse harem stories in which the main character is a maid. If you want something worksafe, start with the comics series "Full House Kiss," which AFAIK has never been licensed for official translation.

You might be thinking of "The Maid's Story," which was released by Himeya Soft during 2001. As far as I can tell, it fits the description you gave, simulation gameplay and all. It appears to be out of print... I looked at several retail sites, but had no success finding a legit copy. If you are interested, read a review before you go to auction sites and pay for a rare sealed copy. ...On the other hand, Mangagamer's "We Love Master" and Peach Princess' "Little My Maid" are still in-print. Neither has simulation gameplay.
