Sorry, but i think that this wont work. They made a Castlevania fighting game and it isn't even get released and people complaining about it, so i believe that a Castlevania sim it will be waste of time, but that's my opinion.

That's an interesting idea, actually. That would be kinda cool. Knowing Konami, it would suck, but it's still a cool idea.

Totally ridiculous, could possibly cause destruction to the franchise, and if Iga makes this, his job is at risk..... I like it! It would give me a chance to date Maria....*drools*
Oh, um, yes, right. Well, it would be interesting, I would definitely play it.... but I'd rather some perv make a hentai flash game.  ;D

You mean the franchise hasn't been damaged enough already? ;p

A Castlevania dating sim? Dude, go bang your head against the wall....hard.

dating sims sell prety poorly already. a fighting game at least works with cv cause both are action oriented, but a slightly interactive book not really. plus it'd have to be pc, the console ones sell even worse and are required to be worksafe, which reduces sales further.

That's completely retarded, and they expect to make money that way?

Yeah I'm not really feelin' that either, personally I prefer the real thing, cuz it usually results in sex, the greatest thing on the planet.

You all know it will happen eventually, that is, assuming Judgment doesn't kill the franchise first.

Haha, with the direction the series is going I could see IGA making this for the DS...

99% text, 0.1% choices, 0.9% actual scenes.

you really want that?
Title: Re: should Castlevania have a Dating Sim?
Post by: warfreak on July 12, 2008, 05:48:35 AM
Ugh.. Please no. Konami shouldn't make that!

It would be a cool idea for a fangame though. Just random novelty that won't take a lot of effort (i think. :| )

Really stupid idea, but I'd play it! ;D

it would require some effort. first of all, you'd need to be a good writer or have one. those games are all about interesting story and good writing. nobody'll want to sit through a boring story that puts them to sleep or makes them laugh with its lame writing style and will either speed through it to the scenes or more likely give up.

then you'd need an artist that'd draw the character portraits and cgs, as well as a musician to compose music and a programmer to code the game (or use free programs for such games).

so yeah, it's not that easy either. :o

there should be an easy Dating Sim Maker. 

or at least a Battle Maker using this battle system:

neither did i, since i don't understand moon language. i heard it from those who did on 4chan and other places where they're interested with such games.

Oh dear... ren'py is confoosing.... I don't speak that code language... nor do I read it... but it would awesome if I knew how. Serio, do you?
Title: Re: should Castlevania have a Dating Sim?
Post by: Long John Silver on July 12, 2008, 07:25:54 PM
yeah, i messed around with it some time ago. the scripting language's pretty simple compared to real programming languages.

Interesting. But you understand it? Maybe, if you aren't too busy(hard to believe that's possible), we could try to actually make something interesting with it? Maybe get a few other people too? I'm not too good for much, besides finding things and writing plots and stories and such, but it would be fun...

Haha, cool. I need to learn how some time. I couldn't find a book for BASIC though, so I never did start studying it.
