Dandori Downpour - A Pikmin 4 Dating Sim - June 8th Development Blog

Welcome to the fifth installment of the Rescue Corps/Pikmin 4 Dating Sim development blog! A weekly "news letter" where I will discuss my progress on the dating simulator.

Last week, I asked about CURSING #### and it seems that the poll winner was...

Only replace "hell", "God", and similar curses that elude to religion!

I won't lie, this is how I had been writing the script so I'm happy many agree! Though, cursing will be put at a minimum and I will often favor "stars" or "cosmos" -esque sayings!

What has been done this week?

Another Erma pose and other pose touch-ups

Starting Dingo's Sprites

Write most of Russ' second draft in Twine

I had a bit of a rough week this week... Hoping I can get back up and keep going! Though, I am getting a side gig that may take up my time so I think progress may become slow. We'll have to see :( --------------

POLL TIME!

What castaway would you want to see in the game at some point? (Not datable, just see 'em cameo.) I wasn't able to fit all of the options :( Also there are some castaways who are already planned, ones that are not are on this list!

IF YOU CHOSE OTHER, PLEASE COMMENT BELOW!!

That's it, folks! Sorry there isn't a lot! I maaay change this to bi-weekly if progress is slower now. I'm sorry! I'm still determined though. As always, feel free to reach out, say hello, give ideas, what have you. I appreciate your support! Stay curious!~

Btw I’m making their colors Yellow and Orange

Yellow for Cherie 💛

Orange for Erma 🧡

YIPPPEEEEEE 🌅🌆🌇

Hey so like…yk how colors are a popular “theme” when shipping characters (like pink x purple, red x blue), what colors do you associate Erma and Cherie with?

OMG I wish I had a better answer for this!! I just imagine them both yellow/orange cuz that's my rescue corps color </3 but I suppose if I were to chose, Shepherd would be red while Cherie would be yellow? hehehe

Dandori Downpour - A Pikmin 4 Dating Sim - June 1st Development Blog

Welcome to the fourth installment of the Rescue Corps/Pikmin 4 Dating Sim development blog! A weekly "news letter" where I will discuss my progress on the dating simulator.

Last week, I asked what kind of player choices do you love the most in a dating sim? The winner ended up being close between friendly and goofy! But the one that prevailed was...

the goofy choices!

Of course, there will be opportunities for flirty, friendly, goofy, and mean choices through out a playthrough of Dandori Downpour.

Previous Development Blog (with Yonny preview!) Character Creator Showcase

What has been done this week?

Half of Collin's sprites

Rendering a castaway's sprites (secret!)

Rendering Erma's Sprites and beginning to draw another pose.

Continue Russ' second draft in Twine

There are many many more sprites to do, in fact, I don't think I'll truly be "done" until the very end! As I play... I'll imagine "Oh it'd be cool if Collin posed a certain way for that line.. Guess I need to go draw it!" It's an odd approach, I know, but let me cook....

--------------

Reception to the Yonny preview

Reception of the preview, among others, have been exceptionally positive especially on tumblr! I have had some odd reactions (though not outright malicious) from members outside of the tumblr community, namely discord, which is to be expected...

I understand a "Pikmin dating sim" is an odd thing to "sell" to the general fanbase. I'm a liiiitttleee scared to "advertise" this game outside of tumblr.. Wish me luck LMAO I won't be spreading the word till I am almost done with the first three routes so I got time.

Also can we talk about how mean the fanbase can get sometimes about yumeshipping/shipping in general??

--------------

POLL TIME!

There are plans to make the crew talk more like sailors... OH NO But how do you prefer curse words being handled?

-------------- LMAO thanks for reading as always!! I still am going strong, still very determined. Please don't hesitate to drop some headcanons, comments, and other stuff!! Encouragement is ALWAYS welcome! Thanks for reading this weeks newsletter! Stay curious!~

Dandori Downpour - A Pikmin 4 Dating Sim - May 24th Development Blog

Welcome to the third installment of the Rescue Corps/Pikmin 4 Dating Sim development blog! A weekly "news letter" where I will discuss my progress on the dating simulator. I was too excited so I posted this on Saturday instead of Sunday! Forgive me....

Two weeks ago, I asked you which character are you most excited for? The winner is....

Yonny!

Here's a preview of Yonny's look and his medbay! Within Renpy!

Previous Development Blog Character Creator Showcase

I get the hype around Yonny, I know he has been a fan favorite since Pikmin 4's release!

Obviously... You all know who my favorite character is hehe.

--------------

What has been done these last two weeks?

Yonny's Medbay

Most of Yonny's Sprites

Rendering Russ' Sprites

Finished Collin's Rough Draft

Began Russ' second draft in Twine

Some of you know that I had a big work deadline this past Friday! Well, I kind of found out it has extended to next week so hopefully I can get more done??

--------------

Russ' Route

The first route I am making assets for and implementing into the game is indeed Russ' route!

I love his route a lot and I am happy to say that asset creation is about 70% done! Which of course, backgrounds, character sprites, etc will be used in other routes. That means everyone's routes get a little bit of progress with each art asset made.

I have yet to begin doing CGs, which unfortunately will be very time consuming. Russ' route has 3 planned CGs, one of them being complex (I cannot go into why~ But every character has a least 1-2 of these "complex" CGs)

--------------

POLL TIME!

--------------

Sorry that this was a short one! I feel like I've said most of what I needed to say in the first two!

Thanks for reading this weeks newsletter! Stay curious!~
