Ponk Dating Simulator Update #1

Added 2017-10-29 03:09:45 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone, I've been spending the last few weeks putting together the ground work for Ponk Dating Simulator (PDS). I'm using Unity along with the Fungus plugin to put together the game and I have a basic dialogue system now in place. To anyone who has played HuniePop, the system is very similar. You can talk to Ponk and she will either prompt you to ask you a question about herself or quiz you on things you know about her and other random trivia. The game keeps track of which questions you previously asked her so she will only ask some questions once you've learned the relevant information and you cannot ask the same question twice. You can try it out for yourself in the demo I have attached to this post.

Eventually an experience system will be put in place to reward the player for answering Ponk's questions correctly. These experience points will then be used to level up various skills (partying, cooking, pranking, and skating) to help you succeed at dates.

For more information about exactly how the game works, feel free to check out the game design document I have created for the game HERE. In short, it will be very similar to HuniePop except with a WarioWare style minigame sequence as dates instead of a puzzle game.

One mini-game is also in the works thanks to the help of 3 talented programmers (DrDashy, Theo, and Petrie). It's a simple catching mini-game where you move Ponk around the screen from left to right to catch the good foods and avoid the bad ones. A lot of the art work is still placeholder but the mini-game itself is pretty much fully working.
