When I saw RPG Maker XP, I immediately latched onto it. After a bunch of hours spent trying to figure out how it works, I realized I wanted to make a Dating Sim with it. But! I don't really know how scripts work!

Does anyone know where I can find scripts for making "attraction points" and maybe how to have pictures show up with dialogue?

I'm a total noob with this, so any help would be appreciated! ♥

That's a very specific script. My suggestion would be to go to RMXP.org or Creation Asylum, find other dating sim games out there, look at their games, see if they use any scripts you like, and ask them if they will share.

Otherwise, you'll have to look through the script databases.

Or the other way would be to pay someone to write the script for you.

Attraction points can be done with variables. To view them, you'll need a HuD and that can be made with a script (or even a Comment). Pictures WILL need a script. Edit: If you want me to be more specific, just ask. I started to make a dating sub-quest for one of my games but scrapped the idea part way through because tbh they're kinda boring.

Edit 2: Do something like this:



Now, on the screen (when you play) her affection level should be above her head. Talking to her gives her +5 affection and takes 5 off of the others. It's fairly basic but you can do whatever really. Add tasks that when completed increase her affection and reduce others (or just increase hers - your call), give her items from your inventory that increase affection or items that use a common event to increase affection (e.g. cologne). It's not that hard to do really.


Edit 3: The comment thing doesn't work. I replaced it with;

Text: Current Affection: \v[008]

The \v[#] command displays the number of the variable. The [#] is the variables ID number.

Thanks for this! I'll look around at the scripts, and try working with the variables and see how it works out.

I've made a basic demo if you want to take a look.

If you ever get something halfway completed on your sim, I'd really like to take a look at it. I'm working on a project that originally was to be a dating sim, but now I wanna reach beyond that.

Do some really fun stuff.

It's been ages since I've posted here. Because of school becoming so hectic, I had to stop using RPG Maker.

However, it is now summer, so I will be doing more work with it. Thank you for the help; I will make sure to implement it.

Once I remember how to use the program in the first place!!!

I've always wanted to make a Dating Sim, but I always gave up it seems.

Good luck on it though, I remember a type of dating sim existed on Newgrounds that used a engine similar to RPGXP, except a bit more unadvance.

If you want to make one of that genre, you might want to look into this engine instead: http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/Home_Page
^It's a visual novel engine with built-in functions for convenient char-pic dialogues in picture backgrounds. Seems like they recently expanded into a lot of other functions too. If it's the type of game you're looking to make, it might save you a lot of work. c:

I think it would be nice to have a dating sim if it will totally works.
