The Host Holic Visual Novel Official Trailer Released!

#1 Post by redpandastudio » Fri Mar 16, 2012 1:44 pm

I wanted to just get some general feedback on how people thought our otome game was coming along. We have changed a few things, so hopefully people will notice that the visuals have improved.

The beta is almost ready. I just need to finish making a crane game and make sure that the game is bug free enough for people to play through. We launched the promo video today:
Wish us luck!

We'll begin testing pretty quickly, so the beta will be soon, but I don't want to rush the official release. Hopefully, I will release the final version in June.

We'll have a free demo, so you'll be able to play most of the things that the game has, but this is a commercial game.

We don't plan on making an Iphone game, but if a developer or publisher has interest, we may work with them to bring the game to mobile.

While otome games aren't quite my thing, I find this very interesting, for having a "teacher sim" (if I got the right idea?). I really wonder how you implemented this part. Can the players actions during classes effect students grades?

And there's minigames too! :D

Good luck!

Thanks for your interest and the luck! The teaching system focuses on the actual learning, not so much individual grades. So, basically, you have to combine authority, motivation, and atmosphere in order to maximize how much the students are learning as a class. You make choices during classtime to manage behavior, raise attention, etc. If you make the right decision, the students learn more and regain focus, but if you make the wrong one, the class overall learns less because they are distracted or no longer motivated.

The dating part is completely optional, so you don't have to focus on dating the guys, however the dating is a significant part of the game. There is a subplot to investigate, so anybody could have fun with this really.

No, I made this with RPG Maker.
