[sigdatingsimofficial]

Welcome!

This is the official blog of the Studio Investigrave Dating Simulator (for which we're probably gonna come up with a shorter name sometime), a game made by SIG fans for SIG fans!

There are two people working on this project, mod Carrot and mod Cyanide - and between the two of us, it's me who's mostly making this post! (take all the credit ch ch ch) (You stfu I wrote like 90% of this thing you go and uh- idk finish Vincent now shoo) (fyk I already did so like days ago, so watch your tone young lad)

This game is our love letter to Studio Investigrave, and we hope to make this game enjoyable for any and every SIG fan that have ever dreamed of dating one of the characters - while trying to keep every character's personality as close to canon as possible.

In this blog we will post updates, ask for general opinions, and probably show some of the silly stuff we do while trying to figure our stuff out.

QnA, tags and details below!

Tags:

#upd : any kind of update we share with you - be it writing, programming, art, or something else entirely - you'll find it under this tag.

#announcements : under this tag will be all different kinds of important stuff - like this textpost, or like when we'll be seeking playtesters!

#goofing around : when we post bloopers, out-of-context texts, or anything of the kind - they'll all be tagged with this one.

#questions : anything we answer (inbox is always open, by the way!) will be tagged as this.

#opinions: any polls we might post in the future will be shared with this tag.

#Carrot yaps : anything I post will have this tag.

#Cyanide yaps : similarly to mine, my partner will also have her stuff under this tag.

# : all posts will have all mentioned characters tagged, so you can see easier the news on your favorite game.

Anything that would have potentially triggering content (e.g.; blood, wounds, gore, etc.) will be tagged properly.

There's a good chance more tags will be added in the future as we progress with development.

Not sure how your favorite character/game is tagged? Worry not - this post has all of them tagged the way they'll always be!

About the creators:

mod Carrot - programmer, artist; mainly she/her, but they/them and he/him is also fine

I was the mastermind behind the project originally, and started it as a joke, but then it grew enough that I couldn't consider it just that anymore. I like to keep stuff organized, and so I will be colorcoding things a lot - I'll also be most likely the one who answers, asks, and keeps the blog running. (I'll be helping with that too) (I didn't say you won't darling)

mod Cyanide/Cyn - writer, programming assistant; preferably she/her

Hi :3, since I didn't really have any other opportunity to say hi.. I'm like a wingman for this project. I'll be writing the dialogues and interactions with the characters, mainly planning the outcomes and choices. And of course, trying to help Carrot with everything I can. I feel like she will be needing some help with the programming (dw, I trust in her skills, it's just gonna be a LOT), so Ima be petty and change my title to writer and programming assistant just in case

QnA:

Which characters will you be able to date?

That's the good part - anyone! We plan on letting you date anyone from any released game's main cast!

This means:

Angelica and Forcas from Eloquent Countenance

Augustine and Winnie from Cold Front

Protagonist, Coworker, Normal Guy, Antagonist (Doppelganger Protagonist) and Colleague (Doppelganger Coworker) from Elevator Hitch

Rody, Vincent and Manon from Dead Plate

Bok-Su, Da-Jeong and Myeong-Hoon from Married in Red

June, Ryan, McCoy, Vonnie and Carmen from Rot in Paradise

Will you add the characters from games that release in the future?

That's the plan, yes!

(Although I still have to convince Cyanide somehow to let me add Jackpot Crash Course right after the first chapter, and not only after all 3 chapters have been released-) (We are nowhere near finishing even one game; we'll get there soon.)

Will I be able to play as a character from the games?

Sadly, the answer to that is no, you'll have to play as yourself. It would be way to complicated to make any character playable. You'll be able to choose your pronouns tho!

How far are you in the development/When will the game most likely release?

We are only in the early stages of development, only clearing up the concepts - the earliest it could release is probably late fall of 2025, but it's more likely for development to take around a year time.

What programs/platforms/engines will you be using?

For planning, we use a shared google document. For the game itself, I'll (we'll ;3) use Godot (4.3), for art we'll most likely use Krita! For writing, crazy I know, but I'm probably gonna use the same google document. (or maybe my notes or a random paper.. writing is crazy)

Do you have the permission of the owners of these characters?

Rachel herself has stated, I believe, several times, any fangames are fine, which means yes, we do!

Will the game be free/Where will it be published?

Of course, just like every official game, we will release this game and all of it's content completely free of charge! It'll also be on itch.io, just like the official ones, so it'll be more easily accessible.

What will the gameplay be like? Just a visual novel?

No! I will try to make it feel like a Studio Investgrave game as much as I'll be able to - and that will reflect on the gameplay too! I hope to take inspiration from different elements of currently released games for different parts of the game.

And I'm gonna try to make your choices matter as much as possible to create routes that heavily rely on the built-up personality you give your character by choosing from options.

Can I help somehow?

We're always happy to hear you guys out - after all, this game is made for all SIG fans! You can always drop your suggestions and asks in the inbox, and we'll go through all of them!

Voting on future polls and sharing them with the right audience will also be big support - and when we reach that stage we'll also need playtesters, so make sure to check in every once in a while!

Still got something to ask? Reach out to us through the inbox - we will read every question!
