Anyways, I will get two or three more done today, and I will be 10% done with Friendship Dialogues. With 15 characters (including Alex and Diana) and at 5 dialogues apiece, that is 75 total.
75 friendship/romance dialogues!! is quite a record. Some are short, but still !!
I'm quite happy how PSCD is turning out, if we don't consider the setting (sci-fi) and the gameplay (CCG instead of pure RPG), it's definitely the game closest to Loren regarding romance, relationships, characters interactions, etc. It also has quite some funny moments and sexual innuendo. Some scenes reminded me of Chambara's one of Loren, and that is GOOD

So this is a tower defense game where you hold off against hordes of...romance-able characters?
jack1974Feb 05, 2015
Tsk you didn't pay attention!!
In another post I explained that gave up the tower defense idea since was too difficult to implement (besides there are other 3012893201 games like that). So I'm going to use a new card game framework being coded right now by Anima that I'll also reuse for Undead Lily. Makes more sense since I have already two games that could use it.
So romance+card game battles

*grins* Now I have an image of someone with Cupid's Bow and Arrow firing into a swirling mass of potential love interests...causing them to turn their affections on each other.

Just in case anyone is curious, I've hit 20% (that is 15 of the 75 Friendship dialogues).
And the artist is really kicking ass

Since you guys are speaking of writing, I have two question about it.
First is: How do you guys will make sure to at least one of the Nelsons siblings to conceive both John Nelson and Joshua's father? since both of them can end in a homosexual relationship and I dont think John and Joshua's father were adopted, its impossible to one of them to be the canon parent.
and second is: Shouldnt the Empire be at war against Earth? If they all came from Earth, how its possible to them to be at war? At least its what a picture of the Codex, that Jack posted in his twitter, says (but I think its very contraditory, since Bellami is a earthling and Joshua is a martian).
since both of them can end in a homosexual relationship and I dont think John and Joshua's father were adopted, its impossible to one of them to be the canon parent.
I'll let Miakoda think about this, but considering in the game there are semi-sentient robots... making kids without having a normal sexual intercourse shouldn't be a problem!
Regarding the image, that was a codex entry written 2 years ago, even before thinking about making PSCD. It's just a text that will be changed

That one is actually fairly easy; it could be done with a surrogate (someone donates their eggs or sperm). There are also uterine replicators (false wombs if you will) which could carry a child to term. If one wants to get really crazy, cloning is an option; heck, it is theoretically possible in the present day for humans, so if one allows for an advance of several hundred years...

I don't really know a lot about what we can do about reproduction today but a quick look on the net give me this
so this what is happening today so in a few hundred year....beside I'm not a expert but for a child to have 2 biogical fathers/mothers seen a like a walk in the park compared to going to live on a planet who is several billion light year away from earth.
so in PS universe where space travel is possible, same-sex reproduction should be easy.
MiakodaFeb 14, 2015
That is my thinking exactly Exizel. I can point at a few other real world examples as well. That is why I figure it is a non-issue; if homosexual couples wish to have children, there really isn't a reason not to.

I didnt know about those information, I was just curious how Miakoda would handle it, but now its settled, thanks for the information.
Still curious to know who will be the parent of John Nelson and his brother, because Joshua looks more like Diana and Lisa looks more like Alex. I know initially they werent siblings, but its quite a coincidence.

Genetics can be weird that way. I have a friend who's the spitting image of her aunt.

I was just thinking of readily available modern things which someone wouldn't bat an eye at; heck, for the curious, Great Britain just passed the option of allowing 3 parent babies. Admittedly, that is the sensationalistic title, but it essentially would allow DNA from 2 mothers, and the father so as to minimize or eliminate certain genetic diseases. And that is what is available with today's technology; so in the future which is PSCD, I honestly think it isn't a big factor (
And speaking of which, I'm pleased things seem to be going well. I finished 30 friendship dialogues out of 75, placing it at 40%.
This also means that Scenes/Missions are done, though there are some changes I will have to go back and make (such as the change from a tower defense to a card game). Just speaking for myself, I think PSCD is in a good position at the moment
MiakodaFeb 21, 2015
Just another minor update. As of today, I have 38 friendship dialogues finished, putting it at just a little over 50% done.
TroyenFeb 22, 2015
So at this rate we can see the game in April?
jack1974Feb 22, 2015
Haha no, even if writing is going VERY WELL, and Miakoda earned the title of "Legendary Writer" (tm) the card combat system is still in early stages. Anima is implementing all my crazy ideas for it, I have designed over 50 cards, but artist needs still to draw all of them Though the cards are smaller, so should take less time than a full character (and anyway he's very fast).
I think the coding part could be the one taking more time, since is a new thing so I can't reuse a previous engine. But is coming very nicely and I think might be the birth of a series of CCG games from me (Undead Lily is another for example).
I hope to get some news from the various dating sims, otherwise might not have any new game out for my birthday in April... well SOTW DLC could be on preorder without the ending CGs maybe...

Haha no, even if writing is going VERY WELL,
It is going pretty good I would say. I finished up with Friendship #60 (out of 75). That is 80% done. Unless something happens, I should be starting the romance dialogues late next week.
The preliminary sketches for some of the new creatures/aliens are looking good, and some of the variants are awesome.

Sometimes wish the forums had a thumbs up for posts. Great job Miakoda you deserve a pat on the back
jack1974Mar 07, 2015
Haha there should be some thumbs up / thanks mod for phpBB, I could add it as a virtual "thank you" form
