A kind of otome game to celebrate Shion's birthday
By: Anilyan Date: August 30, 2015, 5:29 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I was planning to do something to Shion's birthday this year -
maybe a drawing, accompanied with a little text - but I began to
have too much ideas, mostly to "alternative finals", and in a
certain way I convinced me to keep it to the next year. Because
that idea will take lots of time and effort.
It's a kind of otome game, at least in terms of operation, with
the theme "surprise party". It will have 3 different finals -
the normal one, where the party will really be a surprise and a
success; the bad one, not that bad, Shion will just discover the
secret about the party, but everything will be success too; and
the good one, very similar to the normal one, but where after
the party Nezumi and Shion will gain a "special scene" together.
The end of the game will depend on the choices of dialogue or
action of the player. Probably you know how this kind of games
work :) The player will interpret Shion. And I consider that I
know how to draw well enough, here a little part of a fanart
Nezushi I'm doing, not concluded yet, of course:

The question is, considering I want Nezumi to appear, I will
need to get around the final the final of the novels. I thought
about two options:
In the first one, this birthday is passed one or two years after
Shion and Nezumi reunite, where they have around 23 years old. I
will need to decide what every character is doing (in terms of
job and other things), and draw then older. I will need also to
give some information about how the pairing reunited and what
happened after, what happened before and imply both return to be
closer to each other, in spite of slight changes. Nothing too
complex, without many details, I don't want to collide with many
headcanons. I have ideas to all of this, but I would like to
know yours. A particular question: Nezumi will have longer or
shorter hair (relatively to the manga version, not the novel)?
The second option is create a AU, passed in school. The
protagonists (Shion, Nezumi, and maybe Safu and Inukashi - in
that case Safu will be alive) will have 16 years old as in
canon, and will be students. All of them know about the surprise
party except Shion, so while Nezumi or Safu were keeping Shion
distracted, the other help with the party. This option is cute
and far away more simple, but I like the other too, and I'm
accepting suggestions.
No, I don't know how to create otome games YET, but it doesn't
seem like something hard to learn. The worst part will be the
creation of a consistent plot, verify if the answers forward to
the respective consequence and illustrate everything. But I am
confident of achieving this end in about a year, with help. If
not, it takes more. I know it's not a very sensible project, but
I wanted to do it ^^ What do you think is the best option, and
what do you suggest?

I think the school version would be really cute. I'd be happy to
help with writing (since I have no art or programming skills).

First of all idea is nice.
But as for game I'm not sure if you would make it in time. Even
with Renpy (visual novel programing soft) it will take a while
as far as I checked for Dating sim we were going to make here...
Still at beginning stage XD.
I think you should better go with School AU universe. Making
boys older it's hard and after a lot drawing lately I still
didn't figure out how to do that XD, 16 years old Hight school
is a lot easier.
Good luck and I'm looking forward your work.
