how to make a date sim/ social sim game

[texasstallion]

I need help on making a date sim social sim game, my biggest question is

1. how to make a clickable map of a city, and how to implement a date sim flow, as in not linear like a visual novel. Where a person can wake up and decide what they where going to do that morning rather it be go to school or go to work go work out etc


some other nice advice would be a good stat and inventory system, and in other advice yall have would be greatly appreciated.

Do a search for "DSE" or "Dating Sim Engine"

What you seek has been prepared already.

Well, texasstallion, you're asking for a lot of things. I'd suggest you look here: viewtopic.php?f=51&t=34131#p386691
and especially here: viewtopic.php?p=465355#p465355

Thanks for the info

Yeah I looked at dse I just couldnt find any tutorials on it I have been trying to learn how to use it. Also, I looked through the cook sheet and couldn't find how I could make a non linear Vn. Also is there a page here that has a page here with free sprites background and audio to use, I dont mind looking myself but if thier is a page with them, I might as well use it.

For non-linear VNs, see the quickstart tutorial in the Ren'Py docs: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/quicksta ... quickstart
Any kind of free assets here: viewforum.php?f=52
Explore the site, you will probably find what you want.

Im sorry if i dont make since im trying to create a date sim/social sim where you can go around town or school. im trying to find a way to implement it am i going about it right or am i complete wrong(which im pretty sure im complete wrong but dont know where to continue towards)

[texasstallion]

nvm i think i just have to do a day planner and figure that out

Seems like a scheduler might work, but I wont be able to go around in different screens and use it in certain rooms for instance i'm in the classroom and want to study to show up but I dont want play backetball to show up while i am in classroom.
