Cheating Simulator: Unstable Relationships by kyboon

[raw]

made by kyboon for Ludum Dare 49 (JAM)

https://youtu.be/8ZkksxlBv0c

Run around and date as many people as you can!

Use WASD/Arrow Keys to move around. Approach a person and press SPACE to date. csmovementtutorial.gif

Don't get caught cheating!

Try to avoid being seen dating someone else by anyone you've dated before. cscaughttutorial.gif

Love doesn't last long

Your relationship with your lovers degrades over time. Date them again to rescue your relationship. csrelationshipdegrade.gif

I will look for you, I will find you and I will DATE you

If you let the relationship degrades, it will become unstable. They'll try to find you aggressively and force you to date them. csrelationshipunstable.gif

Known Bug: "How to play" doesn't play video on WebGL version. But all the instructions are above anyway :)

Very nice art and slick vision effects. Interesting take on the stealth genre.

Wow really cute. Love all the models. The particle effects of the hearts when you date somebody are really pretty too. I also appreciate all the attention you put into the UI feedback including the cone of vision for the different NPCs, the off-screen notifications of where people are, and the heart progress rings. Everything made sense very early on. Nice job!

Very creative use of the theme, never would've thought of a stealth game, UI was great, and game was very polished! Great game

Fun game, really like the stealth mechanic, it really adds to the pressure and unstability. The idea is really nice, pls be nice to your partners :D or you get a mob.

Very impressive!! I love the variety in characters and all the environment assets. It was hilarious to see the dance animations in the character selection (and it was especially funny when you get caught and beat down by the mob of angry lovers/pedestrians). Great job!

Love IT! Awesome design, music and idea. I was just confused on what my goal is, since the love always drained way faster then I could run, and got caught always. The animation after that was again hilarious!

Really fun take on the theme and that dance in the character selection is priceless xD. The love bar degrading a bit slower would be nice imo but that's a minor balancing issue (and it may be only me being bad).

Really nice game

@fraxxinus the goal is to date as many people as you can, I might need to make it clearer in the future

@vivien-fargette it takes about 20 seconds for a full bar to be emptied, I originally set it to be 30 seconds, but consider this is a game jam I decided to make it a quicker game. btw you can leave it to be unstable, you just have to avoid them

Thanks for all your feedbacks

Hahaha man this is great, really had me laughing and smiling. The polish is really really high and the execution is very good. A high scorer for me. My only note is that it's a bit one-note – the excellent initial concept doesn't have enough variety to keep me coming back. Great work!

Wow great game idea haha. Love the art and animations. This is a really good game :)

Cute game. Really liking the art and music. Mechanic was fun, but I did run out of interest rather quickly. Thanks for the game!

Where was this gem? This should be at the top, the idea is random and caotic like my game and we have common mecanics too, so I feel attached to this game. The theme fits, the gameplay is solid, it has a character creator, the only one thing bad is that the world seems a bit static, you could add cars moving or something but it's more than enough to only one person so very well done.

Loved it! very funy, especially when you get caught and everyone is trying to kill you XD
It's simple but interesting. Great game!

Cool idea! I got up to 9 lovers.
I like how they all pile up on you when you get caught :D

I like the selection of characters. It was very funny to see how many women come to hit me xD

Thanks for the feedbacks guys.

@eli-delventhal @m0dsat I agree that the mechanic is a bit too simple to be interesting, I have more ideas in mind but couldn't implement them due to time constraint. I might add them into the game post jam.

@adrian-guevara thanks for the suggestion. I'll add those moving parts in the future. Just like the basketballs you have in your game :smirk:

I'm sure it's an interesting game. Unstable relationships are quite common in life. Increasingly, you can see betrayal in relationships. I ran into this. After that, I decided to order an anime sex doll. [Kinkazoid](https://kinkazoid.com/anime-sex-dolls/) helped me make my choice. The fact is that on this site I found comprehensive information about what types of dolls there are, what material they are made from and even how to use them. Now I know what exactly I need and in a couple of days I will be able to satisfy my secret desires.
