Dating Sim

[Minuteman]

Hello.
I'm have seen a lot of dating sims recently and always wondered how to unite point system, events, characters choices and etc. My current knowledge of renpy engine still poor but I'm have a lot of ideas and always wanted to make my own dating novel ....anyway, here is my question :
Is there something like tutorial, tips or guid? I'm can't find anything about this (besides DSE)

Thanks in advance!

Remix is doing an Event Handler. It seems pretty complex, but have a look at it:

You can ask him directly.

*cough* Remix is suffering the arduous task of refactoring that system to use a cleaner syntax and object hierarchy...
Probably have something workable by the end of next week and it should (in most cases) be simpler to play with (presuming the person I am doing the amends for doesn't mind it being cooked).

I would, in the meantime, suggest looking at Character Stats as a wrapper for holding various statistics (such as affection_level, confidence etc) for the paramours... Along with maybe seeing what DSE does too.

That's depend greatly from the type of dating sim you want to create.
For a narrative ds, like Katawa Shiujo, basic renpy and branching the plot suffice.
For a dating sim like Tokimeki Memorial, you need a lot of python more than renpy. The subject is so wide...
I suggest you to make a simple mindstorm, coming with a broad routine, jot down concepts and logical block and face problems in order. There's nothing like an "omni system" that do the job for you (the DSengine too is nothing but a coloection of classes that could help you streamline the code, but probably they will not fit exactly your great ideas...).

That's a lot of work you have done here, I definitely gonna check this out, Thanks.

Well, for my first novel, I wanted to make pretty simple dating sim, without deep script like - evening, morning and etc.
Maybe with money, inventory system, simple events and local map
