what about a dungeon diving game with life sim aspects where you get isekaid into a fox girl in a dungeon town where everyone's a girl

[at1st@mstdn.ca]

@eniko Short version: Farming Life simulator (i.e. Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley, etc.), but with dungeons and plot alongside the usual things to expect from the genre.

Guardians of Azuma is a "Side Story" game that takes place after the 5th mainline game, and is set in "Feudal Japan".

@eniko
And this is Hina.

@MxVerda probably a bit less male gazey >_>

@AT1ST watching a longplay

do i detect a hint of botw in this game

[at1st@mstdn.ca]

@eniko No breakable weapons as I recall, but a bit of influence on the sort of improvements on the game from Rune Factory 5.

[at1st@mstdn.ca]

@eniko (Though also not quite as free-form as BOTW. The plot is linear, but you can also take your time with the plot.)

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

people keep saying "oh like <game x>?" but nobody has said "like princess maker* but you're the princess" yet

*fighting/adventure path only

[bri7@social.treehouse.systems]

@eniko i wasn’t the princess?

[efi@chitter.xyz]

@eniko no, I need the dresses, you don't understand

[ann3nova@corteximplant.com]

@eniko Yes, but also the politics/queer kissy kissy path.

[nazokiyoubinbou@urusai.social]

@eniko So... Like you're managing your own activities and such? Maybe a future you managing past you through a time portal?

It really sucked that they removed the RPG stuff from the later games. It was actually pretty fun.

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@bnut you play the princess' dad

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@nazokiyoubinbou yes

[bri7@social.treehouse.systems]

@eniko i mean, it sounds a little weird but for me playing it felt like reparenting

[at1st@mstdn.ca]

@eniko [Thinking on this now, if you were thinking about the...condition of the setting that the game opens up with during the tutorial period, almost certainly riffing off of BoTW there with how they present the situation*.]

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@bri7 I didn't have that experience but I can see it

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@sinvega butler is hard also

[saucerlost@mastodon.social]

@eniko
Here's my idea. Something between Snake and that Tron lightbike thing.

..So, foxes supposedly pair for life, right? I'm thinking you move a fox girl character around a play field, trying to match with another static fox girl on the play field. Maybe they can have matching colors or attire. As you move you leave behind a colorful trail, and when you match they hold hands, leaving the trail in place. You have to match new fox girls, navigating around the previous trails and pairs.

@eniko unironically in the back of my mind *at all times* when thinking about long-term character development in dda >_<

@eniko I trusted and u were worthy
