I know it has been a couple of months, but how is this still going? I'm kind of a new coder, just learning the basics of Unity, but I've been playing with VBA for a couple of years, and dabbling here and there. I used to play a lot of text based games over the past 15 yrs or so. Storytelling is something I love to do, so, designing a game has always been on my to -do list. I'm a furry by heart (its like being trans-species) so I've always dreamed of a game that turns the player into a creature.
However, I have had a concept similar to what you all are/were discussing... The idea was that the player starts with two playable characters, one male and one female. Throughout the game you have to swap between them to advance. The story was that both characters wake up with no memories. They realize they look similar, and conclude they must be related. The gameplay, I imagined, would consist of RPG elements where the player is trying to determine what happened to cause their amnesia. The kicker is that they are actually the same person - a demon cursed the character into splitting into two people. I imagine, you could put the female character into situations where the player has to dress her, and have her make comments about how she doesn't know what she is doing, so she gets advice from other girls. Situations like that for both sides where the player 'learns' little things about how the stereotypical m/f behaves, all the while playing detective, and kicking monster butt in between cities. This is a concept I've been dreaming of for a few months now... In fact, "KageNiko" is the female in the story.
For sake of not going into too much detail, ill end I there. I would love to contribute in any way, if possible! This is my dream!
