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)

-------------- 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~
