My self-indulgent mess of a first game, starring an entire cast of dogs!!

Made with RM2k3 with the goal of being the happiest, least scary game ever made on that engine. Vibe-wise, I was going for a mush between The World Ends With You, Chibi-Robo, and Nintendogs. It is cute, bright, and obnoxious.

The game can be beaten once in about an hour.

Featuring:
-2 endings!
-Over 20 dog breeds!
-dum shibe
-100 billion lines of dialogue
-About 2000 references to obscure video games that only I will understand
-My tears

You the practice of self-promotion

So this is RMN's version of Gangnam Style/Harlem Shake ...
I managed to completely avoid the internet sensation that is Harlem shake, so I don't know what that is (and I don't want to)
It is safe to say that the majority of the first 13000+ downloads are due to Pewdiepie's popularity. This assumption is also supported by the very high download/view ratio (currently roughly 25%).
Now, a lot of regulars here on RMN are attracted to cute screenshots and are influenced by a game's popularity. This might have brought some other downloads, a few hundreds at the most.
What's sad about this is that the hype and attention will most probably die as fast as it came to.

Let's compare with Wither. To my knowledge Wither had no advertising outside of RMN. A lot of people here are also attracted to GameBoy style graphics (Very Retrouvaille and Fabulist also got lots of attention in a very short time thanks to that) and that probably explains Wither's first few downloads.
Players quickly commented on the gamepage about how original and well-thought the game is, which soon helped it get favorable reviews, more downloads and even an official feature. Wither has thus built most its popularity through time and inside the community, even though most of the hype lasted for no longer than 6 months.
theres something wrong with my game,after i finished the game for the first time (bad ending) i restarted it,and after i got the quest for photos pom got stuck going up,like,it doesnt matter what i did,she still was going up like i was holding the arrow key,but i wasnt! and even when i restarted the game it still was happening.
but seriously,best game ever,i got every single reference,and laughed really hard at the yaoi parts

@Update: after much effort and waiting,i managed to finish the game with the good ending even with the shit that i described above going on,really cool game,i kinda wanted to hear what pom would do with her powers like,all day,but besides that,it was completely great!
Oh,one last thing: I SHIP SHIBHUS!

Okay, how the hell do I get to the legit ending? My friend and I have been at this for hours, and the only ending we get is the long conversation with Shibe...

How to get the legit ending? Didn't like the one i found first time playing it when there was a long dialogue with Shibe and then i killed him. I really want to know what happens in legit ending.

Have a hint

This game looks very interesting, but I'm 99% sure the download is being manipulated, and that disgusts me, so I'm not gonna play it.

Sorry I know you've already changed your message, but I just have to comment on this because I'm laughing so hard
I understand that this game now has more downloads than Middens and that doesn't seem right
But I'm a teenage girl with the technologic know-how of an old grandpa jfc have a little more faith in me

On an unrelated note, I'm starting to suspect that the game crashing at the end when trying to play the credits happens to Windows XP users. If you can confirm or deconfirm(?) this, please comment here or message me on my blog!

This is probably true, i use windows xp.

To be fair, the game had a solid 7,000 notes (roughly the first 3,000 downloads here) on Tumblr the day it was released (8/13).

As a consequence, the game was eventually noticed by Pewdiepie. Pewdiepie uploaded his video on the 14th. But yes, past the first 4,000 or so downloads it's obvious that most of this is his fault.

Tangential aside - Very Retrouvaille was also mostly promoted on Tumblr by its creator.

Thank god! Looks like edchuy's prediction about Gangnam Style/Harlem shake will be averted.

I'm still sorry I trapped you in the stairs, by the way.

This is a common problem in RPGMaker games. Restarting the computer normally fixes it!
Lapdog what r u doin, lapdog stahp.
I'm all for having this type of game hosted here, you know.
A successful game attracts newcomers to RMN and raises their opinion about the quality of other games they can found here. Simply put, your game is good for my game and for the community.

This is a first project for you, so I wish you much improvement and plenty of fun on making future ones.

How to get the good ending? I keep making Shibe wants to quit.

One question, HOW THE HELL do I get the other ending, because *SPOILER ALERT* I don't think having a long conversation with Shibe in the end and kill him is the smartest ending I know

Curse my shoutings, found the Legit good ending, I cried tears of joys, hey you should make a sequel, something like they fell down from Heaven and reunited with their master and sh*t happened, just an idea though, I rate your game 10000000/10 (get it?)
Okay, how the hell do I get to the legit ending? My friend and I have been at this for hours, and the only ending we get is the long conversation with Shibe...

you are all doing it right,to get the good ending you just need to not attack shib at the last battle,just wait when he talks and eventually the battle will end without any dying and a happy end
i just want to say that youre a great person,and your game rules,i got every single reference of yours,and i gotta say,you have a pretty good taste,my favorite parts*SOME SPOILERS* were talking near the sakura trees,when pom entered in the machine and said "ITS YAOI O'CLOCK" and my most favorite one was when you fight the stalker dog and pom forces him to say he ships shibhus.
also wanna say that i recognize your avatar pic from persona 3,just so you know (im a big fan of the persona series,and my cats name is Naoto).
and i gotta say i checked yaoi-hands on tumblr and was a little disappointed for not finding your tumblr.
and thats that! great game! and i wish it had like,an easter egg or something like that that changed the history so the game were about cats intead of dogs,because that would be fantastic! Keep up with the great work~~~<33

AW I'm not sure how good it is for the community to have the website dragged down to snail's pace for a few hours but I'm glad you think so! That it's good for the community, I mean. I'll do my best to improve and make less obnoxious things--Good luck on your future endeavors, too :>

@amderrsom: Whoot Persona fans! Yeah, Yaoi-hands is not my tumblr url. I made it up because it seems like the kind of url that Pom would choose. Thanks for all the praise~

pewdie played this :D
Yes, I noticed
I really enjoyed this game, it's awesome!!
Nevertheless, I wish I could see the alternative ending, I've been trying many times, and checked out the hint you gave, but still, I get the same ending. Anyway, this game is...Damn it, so COOL!

I think it might be! :< I'm not sure why the game would crash the second it's opened...

Dang it, looks like I'm back to square one...People's computers really do not like those credits!

Whoa, so even if you follow the hint, you always end up with Pom killing Shibe anyways?! If you manage to wait all the way until the end of Shibe's speech, does Pom just automatically attack him?
So when i was trying to do the alternative ending i get to. shibe is crying really hard. and then pom auto attacks
Played it and thought it was pretty funny. I totally ship Hus/Shibe now.
Also dat good ending...
You are very lucky that Pewdiepie decided to play this game. I'm happy for you ^-^
Quick now we must all try to get Pewdie to try our projects :|
