[sexiestpodcastcharacter]

do you know of any dating sims for fiction podcasts? i've played thief of hearts (penumbra podcast) and the archives sim (tma) but i was wondering if there were games like this for other podcasts

Dating Sims

Thief of Hearts (The Penumbra Podcast): Juno Steel/various Peter Nureyev aliases

The Archives Sim (The Magnus Archives): Player/various characters including y'all's fave, Jane Prentiss

While looking for the above I also found Dream Avatar (The Magnus Archives): the game is incomplete/on hold, player can romance Timothy Stoker currently

Three Nights in Marielda (Friends at the Table): Castille/Maelgwyn, Castille/Someone Else? (I'm sorry I don't remember who the cop is T_T).

Related Projects

There's the Friends-at-the-Table tag on itch.io and additionally The Tower under the Secret-Samol tag, but I don't know if any of these are dating simulators besides the above.

There's a walking sim Am I Alone Now (Wolf 359) based on a really excellent episode of my favorite podcast??? I'm gonna go play this right now.

Fantasy Costco (The Adventure Zone) is a gacha simulator.

Basically, explore what is tagged with your favorite podcasts on itch!

I know one of the stretch goals for a SAYER kickstarter was a dating sim tentatively called Doki Doki Space Boyfriend, but as far as I know that never materialized. There is official character concept art for it posted here and there though.

And it's not a game but hey I found two pieces of Night Vale art from way back in 2013!

Anyone else know of any other dating sims?

Request #8, thanks @iwannarunawayandbeapirate!! I think they would more than “get along.” I think they would be incredibly inventive and violent together.

ID Below.

[ID: There are 4 digital images in a row depicting Sasha and Cel interacting. They are made in grayscale, with simple shading, and scratchy black lines. The first image shows Sasha, a white human woman with dark hair and wearing a simple shirt, finger-less gloves, and dark trench-coat with spikes on it. She is looking towards Cel with a smug look on her face and is leaning against a pillar with one arm conversationally extended towards Cel. Cel is a white half elf with a torn ear, spiky blonde hair, and a light trench-coat. Cel is turning around to look at Sasha almost as if they were going somewhere else. They look interested. Sasha has a dialogue bubble next to her face that reads:

Sasha: “Wanna see something cool?”

The second image shows Sasha is the same position but a knife is shooting out of the sleeve of her jacket. Cel looks surprised and much more interested and has raised one hand to their chin in examination.

The third image shows Sasha and Cel talking more in-depth. Sasha has lowered her sleeve to display the spring-loaded knife dispenser on her forearm. Cel is leaning in to look at the contraption fully and still has a hand on their chin. There is a dialogue bubble that trails off the image from both of them that reads:

Cel: “Fascinating! Indeed very cool, but the potential is untapped! What if it SHOT knives instead of simply dispensing them? Or electric knives!”

Sasha: “Or bombs?”

Cel: “Bombs! That's a good idea. Perhaps we could simply-”

and the rest of the text is cut off.

The fourth image shows Cel and Sasha from farther away and they get more into detail for their ideas. Sasha has her arms raised in excitement and Cel seems to be explaining something thoroughly. There are small images of weaponry around their heads as if to illustrate their ideas simply. The images are of bombs, explosions, eels, electricity, knives, potions, fangs, and dead people.

Hamid is in the foreground pointed towards the two of them with a worried expression on his face. Hamid is an Egyptian halfling with dark skin, dark curly hair, and a three piece suit on. There is a dialogue bubble above his head that reads:

“Does anyone else think this is incredibly dangerous?” End ID]

Whew! Decided to go for a collage with this after taking a free nature book which I used for the backgrounds.

Binbag suggested by @iwannarunawayandbeapirate. Dread crew suggested by @25thhanabusa. Iron suggested by @sierradee. Adventure Skeletons (I just went with No.18 my favorite) suggested by @stickthisbig. Suzette suggested by @a-casual-egg. And Captain Prudenzia suggested by @channeltheflannel. Close ups under the cut.

I would like to address all TMA fan theories about TMA2, from least to most likely

“It’s just hype for some bonus content”: they gave us that for free, zero work involved on our part, for like six months after it ended. “But this one would be cannon.” It really seems like a lot of work for so little payoff. Just saying, seems unlikely.

“JonMartin being happy Somewhere Else”: Jonny Sims is in fact involved, and untainted happiness is something rarely found in his writing. Prove me wrong @jonnywaistcoat I dare you. Bet you can’t write JonMartin being happy and domestic with a kid and a cat and also going on nice walks and having good dreams and no nightmares.

“A prequel series following Gertrude”: Maybe. However, we got almost everything from the og series. The only things explicitly unexplored have to do with Agnes, which is fairly intentional, and Jonny has said in the past he intentionally leaves things up for interpretation and I don’t think he’ll go back on that. I think the only character that we might be able to get him to squeeze more out of is Gerry, because I feel in my bones that he’s one of Jonny’s favorites.

“Every episode again but with key differences”: Tasty and a good idea, kind of out there though and if @iwannarunawayandbeapirate got that one right I’m impressed, their take is various parallel universes, as they’re the only one I’ve seen. I’ve also seen “alternate universe” where we start again but canon divergence happens, which is also good but a bit fanfiction-y. To both of these I brand Unlikely.

“JonMartin somewhere else but facing down the fears again”: Possible. Our boys legit killed themselves over it last time though. Not sure how we can increase those stakes or put them anywhere near that emotional precipice again with the same impact. Unless memory shenanigans are involved. Or it’s ghostbustery. Like we get a statement but every single one ends with “and then I, jonathon sims, sucked up the lonely fog with my fancy vacuum and everything was okay.” The more I think about this one the more I like it.

“Our World rebuilding after the Eyepocalypse”: Probably. Jonny said something similar to this back in the day, although the powers that be also said no romance or sequels or kissy noises so very little weight on their word. But again, that’s a bit of a genre shift. Unless we explore the cavities that the fears have left, the edges of what true natural human fear is like. But Martin’s voice also disproves this. So. Probably Possibly .

“Martin and Jon are separated Somehow and working to find each other Somewhere Else”: Likely. Am I saying this is likely because it’s what I think will happen? Yes. It keeps us on edge about everyone’s fate, and addresses all sides of the “did they survive” argument. (They made it through but Jon was STABBED, no they didn’t end up anywhere else, yes they did) Bonus points for Web!Martin. Bonus points for meeting all of our friends in this Alternate Universe. Bonus points for any and all exploration of the Cracked Foundation lore and mechanics.

In conclusion, I have no conclusion, rip me to shreds.

I just wanted to say that your fic is really impressive. It's probably the longest I've ever read, and not many people would be able to write over 800,000 words and still maintain a coherent plot with character development and new ideas every chapter. Thank you for deciding to write it, and for not giving up!!

Thanks so much, Iwannarunawayandbeapirate! (side note: badass username 😉)

I'm really glad you have enjoyed the story, despite the ridiculous length. And, omg, we're not even half way through 🤦 We're getting close to halfway, I think, but to be honest I haven't done a lot of planning for season 4 and 5, so who knows how long they'll be (please don't be as long as season 2. Please, pleeeeeeeease).

There's no point in fine-tuning the plans for those seasons yet - whatever I write that goes off-map from the blueprints (and it always goes off-map. Thank you, Miss Muse!) would very likely end up clashing with any planning this far out. When that happens, I have to juggle both where the writing ended up and where I wanted it to be, which actually makes my job so much harder than just letting the writing go where it wants in the first place.

So I've only got the big details planned for seasons 4 and 5 (and yes, you can go ahead and insert maniacle cackling here). Who knows, maybe by then I will somehow, miraculously, stop being so verbose 😅

Kiiiinda doubt it though.

I don't 100% know what has kept me going through such a long fic, other than the fact that I know I have some really cool ideas, and I want to share them with people I know will love them as much as I do! So really, the story has only made it this far because readers have been interested in my ideas!

When I first got going, I thought there was a good chance my interest and motivation would trail off before the end of season one. When I made it to season two, I was surprised, but also realized I was unlikely to lose interest at that point. We've started getting into the really good stuff; the stuff I want to share soooo badly, and that'll keep me going. Plus, omg, this story has such an amazing following - way beyond anything I expected. And that has helped more than anything. No way I can leave everyone hanging now! Now when there's soooo much good stuff planned! 😊

Anyhoo, this answer got away from me (surprise surprise 🙄) Thank you so much for reaching out. It means the world to me, as does the acknowledgement that this beast of a story hasn't been easy! But I am so, so happy to be able to share it with you ❤️

Cheers,

Silence
