Well, ren'py is apparently out of the question based on the scope of what we want. Not sure about game maker. A tailored engine is the most ideal scenario, but we need to consider whether we'd want to have the project be lengthened by that. To decide on the engine, we'll need to lay out exactly what...

I'd say all girls, except maybe Christina. I'm ok with leaving her out. Another thing with route development and choices, I think we're going to have to make the routes exclusive after a point (unless of course we make purposeful multi-girl routes) to make sure the character isn't going every which ...

I'll ask about the other systems. With Ali, remember he not only was a merc, but would act as part of the formal militaries with aliases. So we could involve him any number of ways. As for Setsuna, he's 16 when S1 starts and has been with CB since he was 14. So 2 years of training. I figure if our c...

I think /m/ should wait until we're on solid ground. Recruiting from other pools should be more effective. Take things to /m/ when we have something to show. If we go the prisoner route for the male OC, I'd say we start with Feldt or Christina. They'd be the ones you'd see at first (let's start it o...

Only part I'm unsure of is the 0 Gundam involvement. Also, will the OC be the same age as Setsuna? Because part of Setsuna's appeal to be a meister was that he had combat experience despite his age. If he's a little older, then we could have him in a military. Perhaps even stumbling onto the testing...

Awesome, we got an artfag, and a director. Now for a writerfag who can type/write the scenes needed and how to develop each characaters story. We will first experiment with the BoyOC and develop till the part where the player chooses what girl to fall in love with. And all that jazz. Also, is anyon...

Augment may be better than replace. The easiest way to go about it would be for you to do what Nena did when Wang took her in. As for getting on to the route, I guess choices where you question CB's somewhat restrictive ethos would get her to trust you enough to take you in and have you do projects ...

I'm not sure how the material will be presented, I guess that'll be figured out over development.

Also, I unfortunately know nothing of these engines. Hopefully Zaru can elaborate more.

I'd say that knowing 00's story and characters are important, the side material not as much. As for watching the rest of it, it's found streaming on otakucenter.com (myspace videos, so no watch limits like megavideo). Although torrents and downloads are also good. Personally, I'm rewatching Season o...

Yeah that's true. We can have some personality building or completely inconsequential choices.

Fate and other Visual novels have quite a few of them. It just changes up the incidental dialog.

It's perfectly fine and makes things a little more fun.

Personally, I'd like to see the protag have the potential to be snarky, personality-wise. Y'know, the occasional player-controlled one-liner (on choices that have no plot-relevance, natch), maybe a few sarcastic remarks here and there... that kind of stuff. I'm just sayin', is all. Certainly. Your ...

Well, seeing as the big 3 are groups of nations (At least the AEU and Union are), you could have him be from say Moralia or one of the South American countries. Somewhere that doesn't hold all the power and gets used for the gain of others. Moralia could be interesting though, since their economy se...

Well, they need something to make them anti-war. Maybe have the girl be born into CB like Feldt and Desu, while the male is from a military family like Andrei was. Overall we should keep it relatively simple and not load up on back story. Also, we'll need to incorporate Ali in some way for his prese...

So, born from a random discussion on 4chan (m board of course), comes a fan dating sim/visual novel project. The game would remove Setsuna F. Seiei from the 00 cast and replace him with a male or female Original Character (red or blue versions respectively). You will then influence the story and hav...
