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!

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!~

Rescue Corps Dating Sim Discord?? Yay or nay?

I'm wondering if I should make a discord server for the Rescue Corps dating sim specifically?

I dunno if it's worth it but it'd be a nice place to give updates and discuss? I could also just do updates on my blog but idk how many people are here for this dating sim.

Also for a quick update, I am working on Russ' route first, Rough draft is done for his route (IT'S SUPER CUTE) and most of his sprites are drawn. Currently drawing backgrounds. I'd say Russ' route is liiike 30% complete.

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.
