Dandori Downpour - A Pikmin 4 Dating Sim - May 11th Development Blog
Welcome to the second installment of the Pikmin 4 Dating Sim development blog! A weekly "news letter" where I will discuss my progress on the dating simulator.
I asked, you voted! The official name of the project will become Dandori Downpour! Thank you to all who voted!
Previous Development Blog Character Creator Showcase
Dandori Downpour was my first choice too but I thought the alliteration was stupid (okay it kind of is but this is all in good fun, right?)
--------------
What has been done this week?
Two backgrounds
More Shepherd Sprites
Started Collin's Rough Draft
Not as much as I'd like to have done this week but backgrounds are a lot of meat and potatoes! Work is also picking up and I'll be out on a trip next weekend too so there may not be a development update next Sunday!
--------------
Release info
You may be wondering how exactly I plan on releasing this? And to answer that, I'm not entirely sure yet!
It'd be cool if this could work exclusively on itch.io with no download but I'm unsure how that all works! Rest assured, a download will always be available for it.
Unfortunately, this game will not have mobile support. I'm sorry!
Another thing about releasing, it is highly likely that I will release the routes in waves, starting with Shepherd, Collin, and Russ in the first wave. After them, I will release Dingo, Yonny, and Bernard either all together in a second wave or one at a time.
The good news is that Dingo, Yonny, and Bernard's development time will be significantly shorter as a majority of their sprites and backgrounds will be drawn by the time the first three routes are out. Predicted Release?
This is not set in stone but I am hoping for the first three routes to release around the end of August.
--------------
POLL TIME!
And if you'd like, comment below as to why! I'd LOVE to know!

Anywho, thanks for reading this weeks newsletter! Stay curious!~

Pikmin 4 Dating Sim - May 4th Development Blog
Welcome to the first installment of the Pikmin 4 Dating Sim development blog! A weekly "news letter" where I will discuss my progress on the dating simulator. I thought instead of doing a discord server, this would probably be the best course of action. If we get more buzz around the project, perhaps a discord server still can be made.
--------------
What is the Pikmin 4 dating simulator? The Pikmin 4 dating simulator (working title) is a dating simulator where you create a character and go on a little narrative story path with members of the Rescue Corps!
It takes place late into your mission on PNF-404, a multiple day storm forces the Rescue Corps to halt rescue efforts and take shelter in the S.S. Shepherd.
During this time, you decide to get to know your crew members, each having their own arch and story!
Planned routes:
Captain Erma Shepherd
Collin
Russ
Dingo
Yonny
Bernard
All around, it will be a light-hearted playable dating sim made in Ren'Py!
--------------
What has been done this week? (Well, a bit over a week)
Shepherd's rough draft
Russ' rough draft
2 backgrounds
Most of Russ' sprites
Started Shepherd's Sprites
Started writing Introduction
UI text box shift when custom character is on screen
-------------- Please keep in mind, I am one person <3 I'm working as fast as I can while also working a job! Feel free to DM me anything <3 either on here or @andrabeets on discord --------------
So, obviously, the official name won't be "Pikmin 4 dating sim" or "Rescue Corps dating sim" I have a few ideas for a name but I thought I'd let you guys vote!
The winner doesn't guarantee the name of the project. I just know I'd like it to be something to do with dandori.
-------------- Thank you for reading! Hope to have more updates for you next week! Stay curious~
andrabeets / Cherie <333
Hey so likeā¦yk how colors are a popular āthemeā when shipping characters (like pink x purple, red x blue), what colors do you associate Erma and Cherie with?
OMG I wish I had a better answer for this!! I just imagine them both yellow/orange cuz that's my rescue corps color </3 but I suppose if I were to chose, Shepherd would be red while Cherie would be yellow? hehehe
Am I losing my mind?? Is this referring to Santi or someone else??
Iām very curiousā¦what are Cherieās and Shepherdās love languages with each other? š Youāve got me invested in Cherpherd and I aināt complaining
Omg THANK YOU FOR THE ASK hEHHEEDAWJDAK *cracks knuckles*
Erma's love language
Erma always gives Cherie words of affirmation after missions, which makes Cherie smile and blush for days.
Erma leaves reminder notes on Cherie's dresser and folds her uniform for her. "Don't forget to eat breakfast."
When Cherie is feeling particularly down and they're in bed, Erma holds her close, rubbing circles on Cherie's back soothingly, occasionally giving her a forehead kiss.
Cherie's love language
On days Erma is stuck in her office doing paper work, Cherie always has a hot meal to bring to her. The more stressed Erma is, the more "comfort food" the food is.
Cherie will come back after the argument and talk things out rationally, often sitting next to Erma and putting a hand on her back. And she's not afraid to say sorry if she truly messed up!
Lots of physical attention, Cherie is a hugger, Erma is much more sparing, only for when the situation calls for it. Cherie loves to hug Erma from behind as a surprise greeting.
I definitely want to write more of these!! THEY'RE SO CUTE, YOUR HONOR <333
really rough sketch I have work in 15 minutes cryyyy
taps on the mic.... GETS RLLY CLOSE TO IT .. smacks my lips
I'd love to know more about Cherie and her story! Liike, ooh, how did she end up working for the Rescue Corps? :D
HII THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ASK <33 Cherie comes from Karut (omg shocker) where she was born and raised on a farm! She was pretty sheltered growing up as the area she lived in was rural. However, she had a knack for adventure, often venturing in places she shouldn't be, such as caves and tall plants. She often threw herself at danger even though her mom was incredibly against this.
She has an older brother too! (I don't have a design for him yet </3) he sometimes goes with Cherie on her various adventures but does not have the guts like she does.
One day, in her teenage years, a neighborhood kid went into the caves and got stuck in a crawlspace. The Rescue Corps were called but by the time they got there, Cherie was already out with the child, comforting him.
The Rescue Corps thought she had done a prank call on them but no, she just got to it first! Cherie was incredibly curious about the Rescue Corps but her parents wanted her to focus on the family farm. In the first few years in her adulthood, she focused on helping out with the farm but she grew more and more curious. Something clicked in her that fateful day, "I could go on adventures to other planets and save more people?!"
It was her true passion, she wanted to get out of this monotonous grind on Karut. With much time, she was able to get her parents to warm up to the idea of her leaving the farm life. At the age of 24, she enlisted and went through boot camp and training. A year later, she's the new rookie at 25!
Her general personality is timid, courageous, noble, hot tempered, naive, and loyal.
