>>6080364>>6080410I didn't know DDLC+ was an actual official rerelease and hurriedly absorbed all I can on it before I realized I could just ignore it. It just seems to be more build up for Project Libitina, anyways.
A difficulty that comes from fully pegging myself to the game is that the cast of characters is sparse. There's only the 4 of them, and depending on how you look at things, 5 or 6 with the addition of the Player and MC, but they're hardly defined as is. I know I just dismissed canon as I said above, but when I write with another property, I like keeping things in the realm of possibility, like it could happen as a What If, and not needing to invent new characters to facilitate the idea. I could explore characters adjacent to the current cast, but to truly shake things up, there'd need to be a new dynamic at play.
I write things that are more about exploring a narrative rather than managing game mechanics. Not opposed to the idea, I just feel like I'm stronger doing the former. There was this port of DDLC on Roblox of all places, and despite it allowing you to move freely and speak to the girls in any order, nothing deviated from the original except when censors were involved. It was just the VN again, except you had to manually haul ass to the next part of the script. So I guess my idea can be boiled down to DDLC, but the MC is aware. That doesn't sound all that interesting and is probably already on Ao3, but I do have a few curveballs to throw in the way of expectation, another thing I like about writing with an IP.
