Don Corneo Dating Sim

[Chocobo_Girl]

Hello all. I've been contemplating the thought of creating an FF dating sim in Flash revolving around Don Corneo and the girls from FF7. This thought came to mind because there is already an existing FF dating sim made with flash, and if you ask me, it was extremely poorly done. If I remember well, you could just spam "talk" as much as you like to a girl without exiting the screen which granted you more and more points, so you can technically build as many points as you want with a girl with just one encounter. That and I don't remember there being any ending, I believe it just went on and on which is kind of lame if you ask me.

Anyway, in my Don Corneo dating sim, I'm aiming for your tradition raise stats (str, int, charm), work for cash, speak to the girls and Cloud (yes, Cloud will be a datable character ), build your relationship with them, buy them gifts, take them out on dates and finally win their hearts! "Yay for originality!" you must be thinking in a sarcastic manner. Yes the concept is quite unoriginal, except there will be a slight twist at the end of it.  Instead of being able to get some action, everything messes up at the very end. Here are the endings I came up with for each char:

Yuffie - You find out she's underage and you get arrested.
Aeris - As they are about to engage in intercourse, Sephiroth makes an appearance and stabs both Aeris and the Don.
Tifa - Well, unfortunately I haven't really been able to come up with a good ending for her. You... suffocate in her very large chest?
Cloud - The Don finds out he is a guy (wadaya know  )


Anyhow, here's what I came up with so far, with Timu's help.

Characters

Don Corneo - Since his defeat in FF7, the Don has lost his status in Walmarket and floundered his inheritance. Now broke, and still craving intimate company, he roams Walmarket searching for ass. Under the guise of "turning over a new leaf" he attempts to seduce the characters of FF7.

Scotch - After discovering Cloud's transvestite habits, he suffered 3 major concussions at the receiving end of the buster sword. He still holds allegiance to the Don as Corneo provides him with food, and given Scotch is now paralyzed from the neck down, he accepts nourishment in return for dating advice.

Tifa - A well-endowed lady, she is strong in body and in will. She enjoys strong men, and has a competitive attitude. She works at a bar.

Aeris - The last remaining ancient, she spends her time strolling around Midgar selling her "flowers". She is humble and naive, and very honest.

Yuffie - Is an underaged, spunky material thief. Incredibly energetic, only materia will hold her attention for long.

Cloud - An ex-SOLDIER, this man has a tendency to cross-dress. He wields a very large "blade". Despite his fashion, he is difficult to please as he is "not interested".

Locations

Walmarket - The main area of the sim, containing numerous subzones for various functions:

Honeybee Inn
Pharmacy (sells intimate gifts)
Item Shop (sells normal gifts)
Bar
Gym
Weapon Shop
Dress Shop
Corneo's Mansion (your home, rest here between days)

Date Locations (in order of price):
Sector 5 park
Restaurant in Walmarket
Costa del Sol
Wutai/Turtle Paradise
Gold Saucer

Jobs

Bouncer at the Honeybee Inn
Bartender at the Bar
Item repairer at the Weapon Shop (working for the guy who gives you batteries in Wallmarket)

Stats

STR
Can be trained at the gym
The more STR you have, the higher your salary as a bouncer is
Tifa's favorite stat

INT
I haven't figured out how to train INT yet @_@
The more INT, the higher your salary for the item repairing job
Aeris' favorite stat

CHARM
Can be raised at the bar or at the Honeybee Inn
The more CHARM, the higher your salary working as a bartender
Yuffie's favorite stat

Note: Cloud does not have a favorite stat, he will be the most "hard to get" in this game. 

The system would most likely be a day by day sim, where you have a certain amount of HP to spend and at the end of the day when you run out, you go rest at your mansion to replenish your HP for the next day. There will probably be a day limit but I haven't thought about how to give him a limited amount of days yet.

Also, I haven't developed the datable characters yet in terms of all the questions they'll be asking you about on dates. It'd be cool if anyone could provide any ideas for this, or for anything else for that matter.

firslt... that post is a blatant copy of the document i spent soooo much time typing for you jk s'all good, i know its mostly yer ideas

For clouds ending, dont you actually get it on, despite his gender, then see a news report x months later announcing Corneo died of AIDS?

for the time limit... how about you have x days to get laid until meteor hits?

[Chocobo_Girl]

firslt... that post is a blatant copy of the document i spent soooo much time typing for you jk s'all good, i know its mostly yer ideas

-_- Oh please, you were just being mah secretary, or as Sephiroth would put it, "you are nothing but a puppet". 

For clouds ending, dont you actually get it on, despite his gender, then see a news report x months later announcing Corneo died of AIDS?

I suppose that would be more humerus.


And as for meteor hitting, that would be quite funny. XD I kind of gave up on the idea of having the sim make sense in relation to FF7 so it works for me.

I dunno. I get a nasty 'AIDS is a gay disease'-vibe from it.

The concept of the game sounds fairly awesome, though.

[Timu Sumisu]

please ammo, feel free to provide better ideas

(Ish not being sarcastic, we could really do for more ideas... and i could really do to learn actionscript... )

[titeguy3]

I like the concept. You should try to incorporate a simple turn-based (not too graphic) battle minigame. Like homage to the original FF7 style. It'd be funny, you could give the don his own wacky limit break(s).

Will you be using original artwork or cut'n'paste ff7 artwork?

Also, a dating sim just isn't a dating sim without a little hidden H... 

Best flash based dating sim I've ever seen is the DNA2 girls one... it's just called SIMgirls IIRC... It's a good reference, and it was really well done, and fun too.
You can check the latest version of it here, methinks...

[Chocobo_Girl]

Yeah I've played that (the latest version). It's really well done indeed, probably the funnest dating sim I've ever played. ^^
And I could probably have some hidden hentai in it, but I'm a little reluctant to put any in. Though it seems that's what people like in a dating sim I guess.

I was thinking of having original artwork to it, but I'm starting to think that it'd be much easier and simpler to trace FF7 artwork instead. Although I might have to be more creative with Don Corneo and Scotch. Here's what Timu found for Don Corneo


For battle minigames, I thought of having Don Corneo having to battle people who are also going for the girls, like Johnny who is going after Aeris.

[Harruzame]

The title seems creepy.... 

[titeguy3]

Haha I like the tattoo on his head... This really interests me, actually. Keep us posted on any progress made!

[Harruzame]

   *nervous wreck*

[Harruzame]

AH!...Good ol' days! 

[lyada]

I can see the resemblance to the Don and Cloud like I can see the unicorns flying around.

[Opine]

I can see the resemblance to the Don and Cloud.

Now that you mention it...

[Chocobo_Girl]

o.o Just a few pounds chubbier, and less buff.

[Timu Sumisu]

ne progress on this?

[Chocobo_Girl]

Not terribly much and nothing you haven't seen when you stole my laptop. 

I started thinking up information the girls and Cloud give you that they will start asking you about on dates.

The info will start out general, but as you progress and gain more relationship points they will start giving you more personal information, like their measurements, bloodtype etc. God knows why a guy going after a girl would want to know her blood type, but some dating sims seem to have that. And it just so happens the the pamphlet for FF7 provides this information for some other odd reason.

Tifa:
- Favorite stat is strength
- Works at a bar called 7th Heaven
- Is part of an anti-shinra group called Avalanche
- despises shinra (lulz redundancy)
- grew up in Nibelheim
- took fighting lessons with Zanghan because she was tired of waiting to be saved
- was a tour guide as a part time job in her hometown
- Is Cloud's childhood friend
- Birthdate: May 3
- Age: 20
- Height: 5'4"
- Blood type: B

Aeris
- Favorite stat is int.
- Works as a flower merchant
- Is the last surviving ancient (who would have thought that the last surviving ancient would do so little with her life that she'd be selling flowers for a living)
- Lives in the sector 5 slums
- Spends most of her time chilling in the sector 5 church
- Birthdate: February 7
- Age: 22
- Height: 5'3"
- Blood type: O

Yuffie
- Favorite stat is charm
- Is a famous materia hunter
- Hometown is Wutai
- Birthdate: November 20
- Age: 16
- Height: 5'2" (man, the girls in FF7 are pretty short, makes me feel better about myself  )
- Blood type: A

Cloud
- Is an ex-SOLDIER
- Hometown is Nibelheim
- Grew up with Tifa
- Birthdate: August 19
- 21 years old
- 5'7" (he's short too lawl :3)
- Bloodtype AB

Any additional ideas are welcome. Also, could anyone who has made a 3d model of said characters give me an idea of their measurements? XD As in bust/waist/hips. I don't think this information is written down anywhere. 

[Timu Sumisu]

hm... i wonder how many people here have made 3d models of these characters... unfortunately you cant measure circumference in 3d... >< nehow, I'd say cloud should like "big swords"

[Chocobo_Girl]

Hmm, big swords you say. 

Ah that's fine though, I'm probably going to make Tifa have ridiculously curvaceous proportions, the two others girls much less, and Cloud will have... well, male proportions. And a big sword. 

[Timu Sumisu]

he should have a question, how long is his sword :

A) 5'
B) 6"
C) 7"
8"

[BrokenCrowe (Mendelevium)]

Timu I have never seen you in this light before. 
  Who knew this is what you thought about when modeling your FF7 Models 

Just joking of course.

God knows why a guy going after a girl would want to know her blood type, but some dating sims seem to have that. And it just so happens the the pamphlet for FF7 provides this information for some other odd reason.

It's because of the Japanese fascination with blood types. Think horoscopes - or zodiac signs, if you prefer - in the west, it's the same thing.

- Height: 5'2" (man, the girls in FF7 are pretty short, makes me feel better about myself  )

Actually, there was a post about this, some months ago. It seems that Ultimania lists pretty much every character taller than the pamphlet. Whether this is because there's an actual conversion error in the pamphlet, or because Square retconned them to be taller, I do not know.

he should have a question, how long is his sword :

A) 5'
B) 6"
C) 7"
8"

And have someone admonish him for exaggerating, should he choose either of the latter two?

Because, both Cloud and Sephiroth are obviously compensating for something with those awfully large swords they carry, you know, the swordy kind of swords?

[Harruzame]

Could ya add a 9" with that selection?.... 


Its a standard in the states I presume.....

Don't you mean the Internets?
