Talkhaus: The dating sim! But actually a game!

Post by GrimDarkening »

Basically I can't make a game, but my art skills are apparently good enough lol
If you haven't been here in the last few hours, where it caught attention, "Talkhaus: The Dating Sim!" was a joke I made concerning 8flight, Aposke, RikunFrances, raocow, and a bunch of others, but then on my adventure, I got a command telling me to uh, "play it".

I drew up a concept screen, which revived my art thread! It got uh 3 replies under a day, which under my standards, that's a decent accomplishment. The active followers of Skypehaus, today, probably also caught a whim of me yelling at 8flight concerning it, along with 1 or 2 fake screenshots. Considering the general attention it caught, I thought it might be a really nice collab, despite like 2 people telling me not to.

But considering how most of it's already covered, with Aposke and "maybe" Rikun doing the uh writing, 8flight dipping his suggestions, some of them being alright (They were more like reminders), and me doing the art, I'd like to say the final push to make it a full fledged game shouldn't be too difficult.

I don't intend for this project, if it gets up at all, to take any high priority, because what it comes down to, is that it doesn't need it, nor deserve it. While larger collaborations like ASMBXT have a much larger degree of fans, I think that this game thing doesn't need a whole lot of people to make it done. In fact, all the project needs is someone who can make a game, that's functional, but anyone can really contribute due to the nature.

If this idea isn't done that's really not an issue because honestly, I can continue the way it has been going with my forum adventure, but if it gets started, that'll be cool. I'd like to think that this project will be generally laid back, because it really doesn't need that kind of effort that others require, which may be good or bad. All things considered, I hope this gets some sort of attention and manage to get something going, but if it requires periods of waiting before people can join and work, that'll be fine, because in reality, the project doesn't lose anything either way.

Now, proof of work done, along with people's reactions! Some of them don't help my point at all!

Ren'Py updated again?! Man, I swear...

Anyway... yeah, RPG stuff can and has been done in that. I really wouldn't recommend trying it without experience though, as it's a bit of a hassle for someone new to the program to do anything more than just a standard VN/Dating Sim game.

The only way I could possibly even consider maybe approaching being somewhat partially hesitantly okay with my inclusion is if I was the most desirable option by a ridiculously long shot.

This visual novel has some rpg elements including HP and MP and it's on that same engine so it should be possible.

It definitely is. Doing RPG-like fights is actually one of the easier things to code in Renpy. Heck, some people do full-fledged animation scenes using layer and transforming commands.
As for me, I really love the engine and would like to write a path or two for the VN.

To spark some planning conversation... how about we discuss which main characters (a.k.a. potential love interests) to include? Going from the most known personas, I'd suggest:

Male
raocow
[AoD]
Argumentable
Cup


Female
RikunFrances
Rena
Redsy
raocow's coworker he mentioned exactly ONCE and who clearly has a crush on him (you'll play as raocow so it's o-kay~

This is a horrible list. Argumentable an AoD are gone. Cup doesn't post often, so he might be well known in the IRC. Redsy isn't 18, and we have nothing to go off for the coworker.

This should be done Namco High style and have every character be drawn by another person so art styles clash horribly together.

Make your suggestions, then. AoD still works on ATXS and still is one of raocow's closer friends (i.e. it'd be easy to integrate him into the story). Cup is known throughout most of the Talkhaus. And who cares if Redsy isn't 18? We can just make her the token loli and not have any dirty scenes of her.
...not that we'd find someone to draw dirty scenes of the other girls, anyways.

That's kinda creepy

I'd volunteer to be the token shota but it's probably for the best that I didn't

I was just reading the TvTropes page about that and now I want to see a smutfic involving King from Tekken and the Galaga spaceship

Note to self: play Namco High someday

This is sounding like it would be hilariously creepy if it was actually made.

I would like to remind you that a visual novel does not have to be about dating to be remarkable.

If it gets to the point where it's that unnverving the dating sim aspect can be dropped

We can make everything canon as fuck
I thought it would be shipping the Player Character who can be anyone, so I don't really see the point of the shipping arguments.

Also, we should get permission before considering Redsy anymore. We might want so get people's permission anyway.

We should be considering how well the characters actual work within the game. Here are some options

Bartle: College kid who is a self proclaimed polymath.
Argumentable: jerk on the forum, nice in real life(see his LPs)
Alex: Character development happened
Kobabeach: weeaboo(should age him up)
Me: Partially insane vetern. I'm told I'm creative a lot

Rikun: She's RIkun.
Grim: Creator of the game, Grim might know more about this person than me.
Horikawa Otane: Smart, theater lover.
redsy - normal girl

If I see me mix japanese words with english words in my sentences I will do horrible things to you~♥
(why do I always have to be the weeb damnit)

Also, make me a talking lion
Like, a literal lion
My portraits could be photos of lions or whatever (kinda like the birds in Hatoful Boyfriend)

Also, I'm only available as a route if you pick a male MC

EDIT: Just don't make me one of those weirdos who hates everything that isn't japanese and thinks everything that's japanese is the best thing ever okay (I kinda don't like people who's opinions are biased towards one thing)
