Know Your Meme Academy: A Meme Dating Sim

Last posted Oct 01, 2015 at 06:21AM EDT. Added Apr 04, 2015 at 01:37AM EDT
201 posts from 84 users

Character Name: daigonite (always spelled lowercase)
General idea of how the character should look like: Long brown haired vaguely androgynous adult with glasses and one of these birds on their shoulder at all times
Role: Hailing from Detroit, the pun master and bird nerd, she's the assistant at the computer lab, and focuses her studies on blind/VI accessibility. Secretly, deep down she knows that she loves Supertramp, but is ashamed to admit it. She and her bird, "punk master ion" go and smoke weed everyday. Undatable.
Suggestions for the game: We need a computer lab with obnoxious meme posters everywhere. Also I could get you a custom engine running maybe. huehue

I just got the strangest idea.

Captain Blubber (or maybe even Muffinlicious) should be a hall monitor. A really crotchety, no fun monitor that's really strict.

And if the hall monitor was Blubber, he could shoot bad students with his epic brone sniper rifle.

name: Joaquin Musclecybergoth

look; channing tatum w/ swoop bangs

role: super athletic emo guy who hates jocks and could probably beat them all up even though he never works out and doesn't play sport because sports are for retards. he doesn't beat up the jocks because he doesn't want to stoop down to their level. girls are always after him but he refuses because he knows that all women ("bleeders" he calls them) are vapid sluts and love kim kardashian. he has an iq of 3000 and can suck his own dick.

in all honesty cut my part out and give it to someone else plz + thx

@everyone who wants to be in
When asking to be in, at least add a useful suggestion/advice to your post. Kinda like how Wabbit and Angry Engineer did. Every little suggestion that benefits the game itself (i.e. All of us) counts.

You can't make a game with a full cast of characters but no actual development.

Also, to make suggestions easier to read and basically get rid of unnecessary posts fill out a form similar to this:

Character Name:
General idea of how the character should look like: [please add a link to the image instead of embedding to save loading times]
Role: [I don't recommend adding yourself as "one of the three routes" because Tillsterrulz will choose who becomes the routes himself]
Suggestions for the game:

oh god I am starting to boss ppl around


Also updated list because why not

Roles For Users so far

[^] means possible route

Pending Roles (ie: Users who can be used for anything because they didn’t asked for anything particular >:^D)

- Dragonlord
- Doeoeod
- The BitterBrit
- Cecaelia Girlie (Possible clubs: “Comedy” Club/shit RR threadmaker club or weeb club)
- Sgt Green
- Muumi (art club)

Defined Roles
Protagonist: Marloe or a BNM
Antagonist/Rival/Bully: Trina D MinkeyRench^
Antagonist/Rival: Asura the Anti-Fun
Principal: Don? (might have to ask permission)^
Vidya Club Owner: Nintendylan
History Teacher: Kourosh Kabir

As Lurk said it probably would be an idea to use a small cast for the first version of the game to make it easier, then if you like the project make it bigger and more meme-filled than the first.

As for pending role for me I'm not bothered about being in it I'm happy just giving advice on a project.

Also damn it Scrublord i had to change names because of you :P

GNU Terry Pratchett

When I first saw this thread I had thought somebody gotten a hold of Artificial Academy 2 or something and was doing a New May May Island with it. (Well, now I might consider that).

If you want to use me for the Art Club you can. Though my multi-title probably also puts me on the student counsel or whatever as well.

So here we go.

Character Name: Natsuru Springfield
General idea of how the character should look like: Reimu if you want to be quick about it. I have a few OC forms that could be used but just use Reimu from Hopeless Masqurade if you aren't looking for original art. I can provide original art at least for myself, but I couldn't shoulder the entire game.
Role:
Basic: Art Club co-leader, Student Counsel member, Senior. Also second richest person in the school next to RandomMan (if Karma is to parallel class) so halfway paying for most of the Art Club's supplies and found tutoring some of them.

If I'm granted a sub-plot, catch me in the theater room and chase me down afterwards to talk about previous history of Art Livestreaming, and can quest to get my enthusiasm for the sport back.

Also, if there ever needs to be a case where the main character has/wants to switch genders entirely, have the quest line lead to me and I'll make a man/woman out of them. But if they are going male to female they will be subjugated to my Ungodly Torture.

Suggestions for the Game:
Keep your scope small. Small enough to get it done in a month. Don't over-exert yourself. No really, even if you have to dis-regard everyone's pleas to be in this game, disregard them in favor of getting the game done.

Character name: Wreck-Gar
General idea of how the character should look like: Well, uh Wreck Gar from G1
Suggested Role: a brief appearance to the choir of "Dare To Be Stupid"

Character Name: Cordyceps , Lord of Nihility
General idea of how the character should look like: I don't want to be confused for Particle Mare, but either my profile picture or these images
Suggest Role: Either a creepy stalker guy that lurks in the library or a student obsessed with nihilism or a guy who runs a brothel or a serial killer.
Suggestions: If you haven't already, read the posts of characters to learn their flat personality.

Character Name: Tupolev
General idea of how the character should look like: Tupolev Tu-22M with Kamina glasses
Role: Foreign immigrant student who praises airplanes everyday. Some lines of dialogue will be welcome.
Suggestions for the game: First make it sure that it works.

Character name: TheBigCon
Idea of the look: CIA with

F-14 Tomcat Shirt.


Role: Baneposter club leader who is into MLG parodies
Suggestions: yiffer or filler should be the unpopular guy always trying to get in on jokes

Character Name: Pumbloom
General idea of how the character should look like: A Whismur with a Yaranaika face
Role: A Riff Raff shitposter trying to make it in the world, but he only makes mediocre threads. He's made a couple friends with mods and other users, and hangs out with Twisty.
Suggestions for the game: Don't worry too much about the small details, you can always revise the game after you release the first one.

Might as well put the details for myself down.

Name: Kourosh Kabir/ Mr. Kabir

Appearance: Bearded Persian man with slacks and a sport coat.

Role: The history teacher; lectures a lot, gives some good advice. Also a cock-blocker extraordinaire.

Suggestions: Take your time and be open to post-release patching. The danker the memes the better.

This should be the only character in the game.

That would mean Captain Blubber would be derping around in an empty academy, interacting and trying to build a relationship with himself….

And with the lack of other characters, any references made would feel more like some kind of hallucination or something…..

Making this dating sim less like a dating sim, and more like a schizophrenia and narcissism simulator, giving this game a dark, psychological twist.

A look into the mind of a narcissistic, schizophrenic Know Your Meme janitor…. I would play that.

We'll call it "My Twisted Mind and I"

The story follow Matthew C. Blubber, Memesite Moderator. And at the conclusion we'll discover the story actually took place in Blubber's mind all the time while he was browsing for pictures of puking dogs in an Asylum.

We've gotta get M. Night Shyamalan in on this.

Name: Asura

Appearance:

Role: The anti fun of the school. Dislikes overused and shitty memes, Shows no disregard to any authorities or rules. basically a complete shit disturber. Is a member of the art club for painting tabletop miniatures and also a member of the DOTA 2 club (Or vidya club if to be simple)

Can get along with other users so long as they are complete idiots who do nothing but talk about the shitty memes he hates.

Suggestions for the game: If a dota 2 club is unnecessary just me in the vidya club.

good luck with all this, hope it turns out well.

Character name: U wot GIR

Look: Sepia-coloured version of Link from the Legend of Zelda

Role: From America and New Zealand born-and-raised, the library is where i spend most of my days, talking primarily about vidya and despising furries, console fanboys and people who use too many emojis when talking online. Typically, you'll find me in front of a computer, whether it may be just using Tumblr or Facebook or something or playing just some video game. Don't talk to me whenever I'm tired or hungry, otherwise I'll be really irritable. I tend to worry too much about stuff that hasn't happened yet, but otherwise I guess I'm ok.

If given a sub-plot, your player character would run into me online through some chat website without knowing it, then later find out it was me through hints given by me and other students. You can try to track me down outside of the website and with the right dialogue options, we can start establishing a relationship, but after 3 days of in-game time after meeting me online, you make arrangements to meet with me IRL outside of school. Whether you want to meet up or stand me up is up to you.

Suggestions for the game: Don't feel pressured to make it as soon as you can. Take your time, I myself will be happy to wait. From the words of Shigeru Miyamoto, "a delayed game is eventually good but a rushed game is forever bad."

Alright, so after a day without power and internet I'm back. Thanks all for your suggestions, feedback, and general want to play/be in the game.

The VN will be made in Ren'Py game engine, so if you want to try and help with some coding you can do that. (It's free is why I'm using it, also Katawa Shoujo was made in it).

Thanks for all who also put in-depth suggestions/details about themselves, so it'll be a lot easier to implement you when the time comes. I'm not that talented at writing, so if anyone wants to write a story arc for someone or what their one-time scene will be, that'd be fantastic. (not everyone will have a route though)

For some plans with the game itself, I think a structure of building stats (And you'd need to get an X amount of a stat to get the good ending for someone, etc). This however is a side goal of what I want and I'd rather just focus on the dating part.

As of right now I'm learning the basics of Ren'Py and watching tutorials and stuff. The process will be long, but I'll be sure to get something out.

Petition to scrap all progress on the current game and make this goldmine instead

Since I haven't done a proper description for me yet I'll just fit one in here

Character Name: Bitter Brit
Look: I'll be my profile pic guy
So Nick.
Role: Member of the vidya club,nothing major really.
Suggestions for the game: Just do what feels best!

(MY COMPUTER AUTO-LOGGED OUT OF KYM SO I HAVE TO REDO IT

Name: Jellopy

Look: Any loyal space marine works.

Role: Aggressive Hall monitor. I sometimes open fire at "runners".
If getting a sub-story it could start with me catching the MC running. I let her/him go with a warning. Then the MC finds me in the library trying to burn heretical books. Then some other stuff happens.
I let you experiment with the rest.

Suggestions for the game: Take your time

I forgot about this thread so please excuse me if I'm late.
Name: Ice C. "ICECOLDS" Quantum
Look: Just make me Kenji's avatar from Summer Wars because I can't think of anything else.
Role: A foreign student who is anti-social and sits in the third row in the far side. He mostly spends time in the library doodling, reading or surfing the web. He is oftentimes hot-headed.
Suggestions: Just do what you think's best for the sim.

is this thread dead? cause i want to know the progress if any has been made :L

I think tillster is still learning how to use Ren'Py.

Character Name: Ignia Pearl Sanderson
Looks: She's just like any Delphox but dons a fedora like a euphoric nerd
Role: fucboi The girl who is fucking lazy and loves staring at her laptop for extended periods of time. She's still undecided on what club she'll join, but she's considering the Riff-Raff club or the brone and fur club.
Suggestions: Make a club for the "underdogs" of KYM. Mostly filled with guys and/or gals who just hang out in the comments (especially the Pokemon gallery comments) like the casuls they are they are.

@chadmoder & Lurk
That I am. It'll be a while before anything playable/decent comes out of it though. I'm going to make the first week of it (Where you just meet and get to know the first 3 date-able characters) and I'll release that as a demo or w/e. Anyways, here's something I learned to do with Ren'Py, and while it isn't much, I'm just showing it so you know I didn't just leave.

Don't worry, I'm still working on it. It'll take some time, and my family is always around and I don't want them to see me making meme sex. I'll do updates every so often as well to keep you guys informed.

Hey Tillster since i changed my profile back, you might have trouble making my character. Dont worry use this as my pic and make sure my character's seriousness level is a bit above Snape level, but just below Batman.

ah..i didn't expect so many replies XD. its good to see that its coming along nicely but don't burn yourself out trying to get this to work. anyways it looks great so far, cant wait to see the final product.

My 2 cents about this game.

TillsterRulz should make a realistic approach of the game even if that means cutting most the users and features.

I know people will hate it but the easier way to make the game will be a Mod dating sim with the main character being a regular user which you can name it and maybe add a profile pic, that way will be easier to flesh out personalities, make jokes, generate events and make an interesting plot.

To ease the work there could be a thread discussing the plot, characters, events and all user could give ideas to make it interesting.

Name: Mako the void witch
General idea of how the character should look like: cheery with just a hint of crazy at first, becoming a bit more hex-manicesque crazy
Role: I want to be the bad ending… I donno, maybe even the "bad" ending, really play into that sadistic goodness
Suggestions for the game: I'onno, I'm already going too far into this

Aynone who wants to be in this can be, just post in this thread or message me

@PeacockRoy
I'll be sure to do something you fukn fgt

@Tupolev
All sorts of things ranging from really bad art to really bad jokes and memes. As far as the subplot (I mentioned before) I dunno. Right now I'd just like to make it a dating sim and work on that later or something.

@TUC
no brones or furfags allowed No problem, I'll think of something when I get around to it.

I think I could make for a decent part in there… probably

ALSO: ANNOUNCEMENT ON BEHALF OF TILLSTER

(different post bc I think the above one is filled :P )

The three routes have been decide. They are:

- RandomMan

- ParticleMare

and a sooper scrert third route that is well, secret

(do note that the third route could be anyone)

Going off what LuRk said (thanks bby) RM/PM/secret person are defined for the demo, not for the full game (anyone can get a route if they want, it'll just take a long ass time).

So update on the game: Nothing has been done, literally nothing. Tomorrow/weekend I plan to go maximum coding power and do some stuff.

Don't get too hyped for this why would you get hype for a meme dating sim lol because it'll probably be shit. But again, thanks for being patient.

if i don't get to seduce Don i will cut myself

One day someone will ask why I tried to learn Python, and I will shamefully have to admit it was because I wanted to have a hot, steamy romance with the creator of a meme website.
