Love.

Love is often a case of random chance.
Sometimes you walk down the street and randomly meet someone who makes your heart skip a beat.
Sometimes you literally fall into the arms of your destined one.
Sometimes you dream of the one who sends your heart aflutter and later recognise their face while doing something else.

And sometimes?

Sometimes you have to seek agency from somewhere else. Someone with the proper connections.

That is where we come in...

Welcome to the greatest game show on Earth!

The game?

Love~

The name?

Relationship Maintenance Network

Where we provide the chance and you provide the choice!

Oh lord, where to begin? Okay, so first off we have finally achieved lift-off! The game is now on the site. Granted, it's not 100% complete - there's some bits and bobs that I cut out for the sake of getting that shit on here within a decent amount of time, such as other date locations and events, but otherwise it's a good example of what the finished product will be like.

So, what things do I have planned in the future for this game?

Firstly, different date areas, chosen at random. Some of them will be pretty generic - a festival, a beach, a pretty meadow picnic. Others, not so much (hello hot air balloon ride).

There will also be some actual dialogue on the dates, based on your score. Nothing too crazy. And yeah, there'll be scenes based on the match score - if your match score gets too low, bad things might happen, like, oh, sudden boss attack or a dragon swooping in and stealing your date. You know, the usual stuff that happens on bad dates.

Lastly, if you missed your chance to join in the fun last year, there will be a character DLC added at a later date. Check out the DLC tab for details on how to join in the fun!

There's probably some more bugs to find, so if you do run into something hinky, let me know and I'll try to figure out what went wrong. Enjoy!

I think we as a community should get together and give Liberty a badge for posting up the game :D XD

Also, I got a weird and probably terrible idea for a future Valentine's event: Everyone has to make a "Dating Me Simulator" where they make a game about what it would be like to go on a date with them XDXD

May be worth mentioning that the first time I played the game, I got the date just fine. So it's all a matter of copy/pasting the right thing!

I played as Liberty because I just had to see what happens, and it was even more glorious than I expected! I love extra touches like that XD
:bows:

I can also be a date~
Heads-up, I know there are game crash bugs. I think I know what's causing them and am in the process of eliminating them.

Be proud Libby!
And as promised! Whee ~ much love to you!

Well now I know what I'm doing all morning...

congrats libby :D
Oh, right! I'll be back in a jiff :)

Piano, how's the song coming?
Holy cheese favored Doritos – I can’t believe that you actually finished this and released it just a few mere days after I initially brought it up here. Well, color me surprised, Liberty - all is forgiven! I’m sorry I said all those horrible things behind your back.

I did actually get to play a couple of rounds of just a few moments ago, three times as myself and once as you, Liberty, and Luchino once just for shit and giggles. Overall, everything seems to work mostly fine as a whole, but there are definitely some strange bugs still left inside that need to be fixed if possible:

  • There is no way to have the contestant’s answers to your questions repeat a second time around like how you can do it with choosing the questions to ask the contestants yourself. I would have liked to have the option to re-read through people’s answers to the questions again, because some of the answers given here are quite long and require a little bit of focus on my part.

  • If you press the cancel key when selecting a contestant to choose what answer you like the most, it seems to go with a default choice instead of it just doing nothing.

  • I’m not sure why the third contestant’s name is highlighted in a different color rather than the other two, but it is a bit distracting and makes me think that selecting the third person gives me a greater reward or something by choosing it. (Does it?)

  • When I playing as you, Liberty, I had a tie-breaker between contestant two and three which then led to them answering a tie-breaker question to see who you would ultimately get. However, the tie-breaker question didn’t materialize at all and it just then shot me right to the dinner date scene with no date in sight for you at all (lol). The match-up message afterwards didn’t give me an exact name but an error message of “Liberty ====================== 13% Match”.

    (Although, on the humorous side of things, I guess you couldn’t ultimately choose between one or the other and just decided to have dinner alone instead of having to pick between two different loves. D’aw…)

  • When I was playing as Luchino (yuna in this version, before she changed her name), El Waka, who was the third contestant, who I ultimately matched Luchi up with, his answers to her questions wouldn’t pop up and they would then ultimately just skip over. When El Waka then came out after being chosen, his sprite wouldn’t pop up after being revealed behind the wall and Luchino, again, like with what happened on my playthough with Liberty, would have dinner alone and the same error message popped up as “yuna ====================== 22% Match,” even though it did say that El Waka was chosen to be her date.

Other than that, everything worked just fine on my end of the spectrum, and I quite enjoyed it. If there was one other small annoyance with the game that I found it’s that the select a forum member menu is a bit slow to navigate through and you can’t move up or down but only left or right when selecting a name.

- But I am impressed and happy to see this up…even if it took a while.

And, hey, if you want, I can give this a review and give you some additional makerscore out of it if you want. I know, I know, unity, I still gotta review your game – and I’m still going to do that - but this shouldn’t take very, very long to review… That is, if you want me to do it.

EDIT: Hey, we got achievements for this - I love it!

(Although "Luchino" should be the one that gets one of them too, not Yuna, as her original username used to be Yuna before she changed it.)
To just jump into the points first:
- Ugh, I really don't want to touch that too much as it would require some working around. I'll see what I can do, though... in a future update.

- Yeah, that's how the choice brackets are set up in RM. Just... don't do that.

- They're each a different colour, though 1 and 2 might be a bit closer in colour than 3 is. There's no reward, just a way to differentiate.

- Yeah, I've just fixed that bug. Uploading the new version now. I actually had that happen to me on my first 'play as self and answer questions outside of test playing' time, so... I was dating alone ;.;

- Okay, that one is odd. I'll have a look-see what's happened there. I have a feeling it has something to do with the above bug but I'll double-check anyway.

(yuna/luchino - unless she made a new account when she changed, the badge should have gone to her anyway. I'll check. If it didn't, it doesn't take much to add it to her account. Luchino now has her badge.)

Okay, that’s cool.

It’s a bit of a shame that there’s no dialogue between the two characters during the dinner date scene, but, hey, better this game being out than never, I suppose.

You still want me to do a review for this, or do you want me to hold off until all of the bugs get sorted out first?
Ah, I've plans for other dates and such later on (basically, a few different locations picked at random, where depending on your 'score' certain events happen. For example:
At the beach, under 10%, it might start to rain.)

And yeah, maybe wait for the bugs to be sorted. XD
Woo! \(^w^)/
Is this gam due to blame for a new achievo?

I would have more makerscore If I did things.

It keeps skipping the answer for paramour number 2. I can't read it!
HOW WILL I KNOW IF THEY'RE THE ONE OR NOT!?!


Alright, seem it was a one-time hiccup. Weird.
I doubt anyone would date me. I've got no real personality on this site apart from being good at mapping. XD
