funny part is that its actually kind of decent not great not good but definitely decent how ever like ptarth I heartily believe that your next game is a robot dating sim with some survival elements.

That's not irony. I've died to him so many times. At least lately he isn't invulnerable all the time, that's a plus.

Well I've hit my point of "I'm not sure what's going on anymore".

Chris won't tell us anything. So I'm helping him reveal his new idea.

I think TheVampire100 covered that.
Did I mention the main character is a cave-woman?

... robot dating sim with some survival elements....

Ohh, even better. Your robot dates are procedurally generated. If the robot didn't like going on your date sufficiently well, they then come after you in the night.

With buzzsaws and snakes.

I was thinking more along the lines of having to gather and forage in between dates to maintain your self but that's brilliant! having some risk reward like that could revolutionise the dating sim genera entirely!
although Chris would need to put some mechanics in stop players from just avoiding the dates entirely perhaps the player character could be a dating robot designed to make the wishes of other types of robots come true and therefore have you lose support from the corporation that made you if you deliberately avoid dates?.

Cooo~!
Simple VN using pigeon stock photos for most characters.

Premise is totally ridiculous, you are a human girl being enrolled into an elite all pigeon high school.

The fun part is it then goes and plays with a lot of Japanese horror VN (they've had crossover for a very long time) tropes, and actually pulls some of them off.


On to robot dating    :P :
Either a raising sim or Tokimeki Memorial style (i.e. true sim, not ADV/VN) could work. Best steam example is long live the queen http://store.steampowered.com/app/251990/
So that means character stats and picking what to do on a daily schedule.

Actually quite a lot like a bioware game, where you get extra conversation options based on character alignment or certain skills.

ptarth's threadjack let into a discussion of visual novels and visual novel tropes. Might be your cue to abandon thread.

I always felt Long Live the Queen had more in common with Princess Maker, despite the much shorter time frame. Ah, but then again Mitsumete Knight took place around the same length of time...

Mitsumete Knight is okay, but I think that the more obscure Katanaka Ultimate Maker really is the true gem.  That one and For The Love Of Kings really should get more attention than they do.

is long live the queen actually worth playing? it looked super interesting when tb did his video of it but the eyes freaked me out? that and it looks like it might end up being super repetitive?.

...Katanaka Ultimate Maker...For The Love Of Kings...

After spending about 10 minutes looking up your highly rated and enthusiastic suggestions Chris, I also found you a link to something else you would really like.
