All I can say is, if I were a famous Youtuber and I found out that someone was making a dating sim with me as one of the routes, I would immediately volunteer to voice myself. For free.

OT: I have never liked these kinds of games. Basing it off of real e-celebs who I never watch just makes it less interesting.

Oh god that be awesome. I'd love if Pat head's was only visible at the bottom of the screen when you talk to him.

Plague would be tougher though. I guess if you eventually date him you end up with a bad ending.

Ohh...I find this creepy.
I don't know why, it is suppose to be right up my ally I guess but I do.

And I really, really enjoyed Hatoful Boyfriend.
I'm a bit odd aren't I?

As aside note I should check out SatchBag, I never heard of him before.

It's possible you find this creepy because it's using real people, rather than fictional pigeons.

Yeah, I'm not usually one to be all gung-ho about fans using real people to live out there sexual fantasies (I mean, "real person fan fic?" Really?) It seems really exploitative and... I dunno, degrading?

But if the Normal Boots guys are cool with it and gave permission - well, obviously they don't care, so...

My internet knowledge is severely underqualified to know what all this is and why it's so great. Should this depress?

Correct me if I am wrong, folks, but the artist for the game, isn't she PBG's girlfriend? The game sounds pretty damn fun, in my opinion. I would love to play it! :D

I'm just a human being man. I don't subscribe to traditional confining preconceptions on gender. I believe people can transcend societal limitations like male or female, blonde or brunette, tall or short, dead or undead.

Basically I decide my gender based on whichever toilet has the most free cubicles.

^^ Just kidding.

Still, I only know, like, one of those YouTube personalities. It still seems kinda fun, in a weird sort of way.

I've clicked the Reminder. I'll check out how they're doing at the end of their funding period.

Unless it involves them having a sex change and complaining about the size of each others breasts I'll pass. Gender Bender DNA Twister Extreme is the only visual novel game that's ever caught my interest. It's cute and pretty hilarious while covering a topic that you don't really see in gaming (albeit not seriously).

Yeah that's probably it. And Hatoful Boyfriend was more like a parody of the genre rather than it being played straight like this.

I'm also not a big fan of fantasizing romantic relationships with real people, especially people I know already have relationships. I know it's a really uncommon way to think, but eh, that's honestly how I feel about this. Perfectly fine...this game just won't be for me.

If someone on Normal Boots were to make a video of them playing it, and you know they will, I will certainly watch that video. That might be irony I guess?

There is, however, a difference between a persona they play and who they really are. (How much of a difference there is and if the fans understand the difference varies though, but certainly something like the AVGN is not James Rolfe)

So writing fanfiction about them for example would be about a fictional character.

For something like this, though, I'd be uncomfortable if they didn't ask for permission.
Although how uncomfortable would depend on the content and how much of it falls under good natured parody etc.

You seduce him with your knowledge of duck penises and then you move out on a farm middle of buttfuck nowhere, where you occasionally prey on the lost travellers to feed on their life essence.

Hmm. Do you think that they could get TB to take part in it? Even if he can't be romanced, it would be a great laugh.

Hmm... I dunno. I guess in a way it is simply about a fictional character, but given the number of fans who often don't seem to realize that (And the number of fans who often vehemently deny that) the idea of it still makes me rather uncomfortable. In some ways, that might actually make it worse - then those people are just writing about a complete stranger that they basically don't even know, and slapping some other persona on them. I know at least one Let's Player who dislikes it when people write fanfic about him, especially when it involves his family or friends. It'd probably unsettle me, too, if I were a public figure like that...

I don't think I'll ever understand these dating sims, if it's some kind of comedy then i guess it would make sense, but the games that just simulate either dating or just sleeping around don't really make sense to me.

I guess it begs the question of why its fine to spend your time shooting people in games but dating is off limits, but I've always figured dating was about the emotional aspect. Without any legitimate love it just seems like all the worst and most mundane parts of dating combined together into a game.

This is it. Oh my god, this is it. I can finally romance Jon.

My deepest, tormented, soul-bound urges will finally be fulfilled.
