It’s been a year since I’ve started on this project, and now it’s finished and ready to play! I had fun putting together this remake / requel together, giving it a much-needed modernization. I must admit, playing “Dating Sim”, the VN I created back in 2008 made me realize how cheesy it was. I cringe looking back at my old projects, ahaha. >.< I guess that goes to show that one’s standards change over time, no?

I kinda see DSRM as a bit of an experiment of sorts, like playing around with the plot a bit and see how the characters work out with the fourth-wall breaks, along with the (albeit crude) humor. I also saw it as a chance to play with some Ren’Py effects to emphasize the characters’ emotions and personalities. I think they turned out pretty well and may use something like that in future projects!

As for other project(s) after this release? I know some of you may be wondering about the status of Café Memoria Deux (CMD) and if I’ll resume work on it. I’ll give an update on next month’s post!

Do let me know in the comments what you think of DSRM. What do you like about it? What can be improved? Anything else? I want to thank everyone who made this project possible, I hope you all enjoy it!

Now, I’ll be spending the day enjoying my birthday today and treating myself out. I took a whole week off from work and I’ll be relaxing a bit. See you all in next month’s post!
