...and face the consequences.


Discover hidden secrets...

FAQ

Why do we need Indiegogo?

Indiegogo is the perfect platform for us to gauge interest in our project. While we would love to continue working on this project in our free time (as we have so far), a successful Indiegogo campaign will enable us to focus our time on developing this game as well as hiring more talent to deliver a quality visual novel. Without your help, this game may never see the light of day.


Why Dragons?

We think dragons today are suffering from a substantial image problem. While popular media usually credits them as the amazing and powerful creatures they are, too often are they also depicted as being stereotypically evil or uncaring. Our aim is to show the world that dragons are people too. They think, speak, experience happiness and pain and can also be gentle and loving as well.


Are you planning to port Dragon Dating Simulator to other platforms, such as Linux or Android?

We would love to port Dragon Dating Simulator to other platforms, but at this point in time we are focusing on making this game a reality first before we can talk about porting it to other platforms.


What will the actual gameplay be like?

Generally speaking, gameplay in Dragon Dating Simulator is divided into two kinds of sections: “Story” sections and “Character” or “Free time” sections. Story sections advance the central plot of the game, whereas in free time sections, you will be able to choose which of the characters you want to spend your time with. The demo is an example of one such character section, though it is more self-contained than it would be in the final game, as choices would carry over and be of more consequence later on and, in some cases, also influence the central plot.


And the character sections? What about romance?

During the character sections, you will be able to influence your relationship with the characters positively, towards friendship and beyond, as well as negatively.

You can also try to pursue the character you are spending your time with romantically. Even seemingly non-consequential dialogue choices will influence your stats as different characters will react differently to a different approach.

Your relationships will also influence the paths the central plot will take.


How deep will the romance go, exactly?

Depending on your choices, there will be plenty of sweet, saccharine dragon romance and some innuendo for good measure.

However, there will be no explicit scenes, if that is what you're asking..


Where can we buy merchandise? I would love to buy a shirt, bumper stickers and a retro mode Rémi body pillow, pixellation and all!

If our crowdfunding campaign is successful, we plan to open a Zazzle store with a variety of merchanDDiSIMe (= DDSIM merchandise) as soon as we can.


What else can we do to show our support?

Spread the word! Share on Facebook, Twitter or any other social network. Even if there are enough people out there who would love to play this game and help us make it a reality, they will only do so if they know about our campaign. The more people we can reach, the better!


Risks & Challenges

As with all game development, there is always the risk of unexpected problems or delays. However, we have set the release & estimated delivery date not only in time for Valentine's due to its romantic nature, but this date also gives us a buffer to absorb any unexpected delays and problems we could face in time for release.
