Hey guys, i wanted to post what i've been up to this month.
I took up the suggestions of how the game would run, and since then have been building this engine to use (and its modular now thanks to learning .AS).
In a nutshell its a poni waifu sim~.
The way it works is that the game has a morning/noon/night cycle, and during the cycle the ponies and things you can do at locations change up (and dependign on day of the week it also changes up whether a pone is there or not). This leads into the talking to pone parts, and into the date aspect (which works as visual novel parts). How the actual dates/prerequists will work i am still conteplating. Also, i'm pondering if there should be a 30 day limit (say anon has to find his true love in 30 days only for x reason, although that would limti your ability to get probably only one pone (maybe not yet)).
If there's no limiter to days however, it will allow for extended sequences and events with your pone on other parts of the map depending on how high your love meter to the pone is (and how they interact if you try to double date pone i'll also consider).
The raising your stats pat will probably be a typical level up and move day by cycle of morning to noon and so on, and i do want to implement mini games that will raise your stats higher but have a pass/fail chance. Also special events, say like pinkie gets acused of stealing 20 cakes and it' a phoenix wright esque mini game trial (which works with the gif bellow where the phoenix wright esque text box was used).
I'm open to ideas on dating aspects, dating battles (if any), and how much visual novel invoelment there is as well (right now it uses poses for the regular talking parts/interactions, and the actual adult parts will be fully animated).
