Gaffolid Dating Simulator (2nd Edition!)

Dating creepy plantlike aliens. 

A demonstration of turn-based combat in Renpy using text prompts and sounds! This project is a test run for a larger game. Please support if you like it! Please comment if you find bugs or have design suggestions.

Two Game Modes:

1. The Gaffolid Gala 

You are frantically searching for your missing daughter! But are sure you have the right attitude toward parenting?

•      10 types of gaffolids with different behaviors. You win by learning how to respond to each of their personalities.
•        Experimental narrative
•       Replayable and code is easily customizable
•       The gameplay integrates gaffolid sounds! Keep your audio on!

2. The Ice Cream Social 

A combat mode where you can play through 10 levels of the game. 

“Fight” your artwork.

The combat is versatile. I chose Renpy due to the ease that you can use your own images for game design. We made it to fit AI-generated images and user-made assets.

Random Encounters - combat randomizes images and text prompts for the player. 

The combat system is part of a larger project, “Katacala Nights,” but since there are not many examples of turn-based combat in Renpy, I thought a project like this would be useful. 

The gaffolids themselves are my monster design and are an important part of the story in "Katacala Nights." I tweaked them for this project to fit the "alien" vibes of the story.  

I'm pretty much done with this project. There's about 3-4 hours of content depending on how good you get at the combat!

Embed our combat system in your visual novels.

You can modify it in any way or embed it in a larger narrative.  You can customize your own screens, sound generators, text generators, and monster generators using this code base. Permissions granted!
