Make the romance more interactive and longer, I don't feel like the romance in the game is really romance, it seems like a simple mini game

(+1)

Hi, can you please share some ideas on what can make the romance part more interactive and engaging? You are right that as of now the romance is built almost solely on dating mini-games, and before those were added, there were only dialogs that led directly to 'improved relationship'. I did not plan the romance when I started developing this game, but now that there's space for it I think this part may be made richer and believable. So, if you already have an idea of what elements can make it better - let me know and I'll check if and how those elements can be added to the game.

hi, of course i'm more than happy to help you,

I have so many ideas for romance, what if instead of a mini-game it could be more like an interactive story? With 5 or 7 answers you'd have to give depending on what they're talking about,  I'd like to know what they're talking about. We don't really know much about the characters we can romance in the game, and I'd like to at least be able to actually know what they're saying, Imagine this:

" Sometimes I miss the old times, when you used to play with me, man, it's really nostalgic"

You have 5 options:

1. Yeah, I miss the old times too.

2. It doesn't matter now, does it?

3. What would you like to order?

4. What's with you and her?

5. Ugh, you're so annoying.

And the conversation changes depending on which option you choose

for example: "Ugh, you're so annoying. Why do you have to bring that up? Stop living in the past and grow up."

"Damn man, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were such a dick."

and then a broken heart icon pops up meaning that your date didn't like the answer

another example

"yeah i miss the old times too, we used to hang out daily; we should hang out more, maybe we could watch a movie together"

"hell yeah dude, that sounds awesome, what about this weekend?"

a heart icon pops up, meaning that your date did like the answer

When your date proposes something lustful, four options appear:

1. Avoid the approach

2. Get offended

3. Get shy

4. Accept the approach

If you accept the approach, the date will now become a mini game, where you will have to do improper acts without the people of the restaurant/cinema/park noticing

And I have another little suggestion, it would be great if the character changed position depending on what it's doing

I also suggest that the clothes shouldn't have very saturated colors because they could look out of place with the character

as i said, i'm more than happy to help you, if you need more suggestions or if you are not sure of something just send me a message

Thanks for the detailed response! I've got your point. The way you described it would indeed be a more familiar and engaging experience. I'm not sure if I'll now have time to re-design and update the dating, but I plan to add one more mini-game in the next version which should be similar to the interactive story you mentioned. If it works well, that could be something to re-use later and update the dating portion of the game later on.

As for changing position, it all boils down to making more art (like, much more art), which I don't have time for now. 

I'll also check if there's an easy way to add an option to make colors less saturated.

Thanks again for these ideas!

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to your game, I'm looking forward to the next version!

How do you get cheats? Is it Patreon only

It says how to access cheats in the game if I remember correctly it's just buried in the frequently asked questions
