it's so much fun to just send yourself flying... kinda wanna make it so you can fling yourself away from enemy attacks & over pits...

ehehehehehe

uh oh, this might rule

uh oh, this might rule

please recommend me your favorite princess maker style game

oh, this looks cute!! thanks for the rec ~ and yea, i gotta check out Zorana too, i really liked Long Live the Queen

Who left that there???

LOL sorry honestly there's really just not that many out there i guess!!

ohhh yea exocolonist is one i keep forgetting to check out ty ty ~

and heck yea, that rules... i know volcano princess was ridiculously popular so that makes a ton of sense

still, i think LLTQ's mix of visual novel & raising sim is one of my favorites... i love bad endings and secret paths. i feel like you could uchikoshi the hell out of a game like that

i'm sure there's far more that i don't know of, but i was thinking it's a relatively rare genre still... then again, i think "raising sim" gets hybridized often with VNs, RPGs, or (at a further remove) anything with level up systems... what's a tamagotchi but an idle raising sim, after all...

i've played like four so i'll rank 'em

1. mushroom musume (tho more of a roguelike almost..)
2. volcano princess
3. long live the queen
4. princess maker 2

honestly i haven't played it but i think it should

this is the right answer

oh this is adorable, i might check this out eheh ~

yea, VP is extremely extremely good 🙏 i happily stumbled into the double yuri ending my first time through ~ it's really gorgeous and well done

i'd never seen drapline before but this looks GREAT, i'm totally sold. i had a "monster girl that eats everything" PM idea in my head a while back tbh...

honestly VP is one of my faves, it had a lot going on... the loop did get kind of repetitive by the end and it felt a little bit grindy, but when new stuff did crop up it was very good

I liked LLTQ a lot!! I think it's a good mix of sim & VN. i think the mixing of princess maker elements in with story really adds a lot, especially when it comes to the bad/good/secret endings

there's gotta be more good indie ones out there right

please recommend me your favorite princess maker style game

the fluff is very cute, it makes her hair look super voluminous ~

COUNTER...

honestly i'm so spoiled by strive counterhits, i miss it whenever i try another game lol

oo, i do really like that idea (if i'm catching your drift)

tho i think the strand mechanics wouldn't be TOO hard to build... where i think i'd prob struggle is designing a fun moment-to-moment game that nudges players towards helping each other, and making that loop fun... feels super tricky haha

there is a way to make this work and i simply have to level up my design brain to make it happen

tbh i really just want to make a game about soapstone messages

extraction does sound like it could be kinda fascinating as an old school zelda game

true true... i still have yet to play this but i am fascinated to check it out at some point!!

unsettlingly close to what i was picturing honestly
