Basic Outline

Here's a copy-pasta of the OP.

Basic plot outline: You (The typical faceless, personality void VN protagonist) and your best idiot friend go to a local all-boys school, near Sakura High. You and best idiot friend had a sort of Mio/Ritsu thing going on where you agreed you'd be in a band together. Unfortunately, upon entering your high school, you find that the Light Music Club is on the verge of being disbanded, just like in K-On. You don't manage to get enough members, and it disbands. You spend the rest of your first year in some other club, something like the tea ceremony club or whatever.

After your first year is over, your school burns down during winter vacation. Not knowing what else to do, the school transfers students to various schools in the local area. Sakura High, traditionally an all-girls school, decides to be generous and accept some of the boys. You and idiot best friend are transferred to Sakura High together. Upon getting there, you see Hokago Tea Time play at the beginning of the year to advertise the Light Music Club. You decide to join the Light Music Club, only to find that the only members are five cute girls.

COMMENCE ROMANCING.

Possible main routes will be Yui, Ritsu, Mio, Mugi and Azusa obviously, but also with Jun, Ui, Sawako and Nodoka bonus routes, but it has been proposed to give Nodoka to your idiot best friend as a romantic interest.

There will be no "canon" route or anything like that.

There will be H-Scenes (Which you can turn off in the options, like KS), but they will be tastefully done, and will be as in-character as possible and be as little lewd as possible as well.

Also, idea from another kind anon:

"Either way, here are some possible scenarios I posted in the last thread:


Getting cockblocked by Ui if you are on the Yui route

Helping Mio sit through a scary movie to make her feel comfortable

Befriending Ritsu's brother

Going to Mugi's god house and earning her parent's respect

Help Azusa with her guitar or something. Or maybe take care of Ton-Chan."

Also, potentially, we could have rhythm-based mini-games, although these might detract a bit and just be superfluous fluff. What do you guys think about them?

  1. If you were able to implement all those suggestions, it would be one hell of a game. I especially liked the suggestions for Mio's and Yui's routes.

    The rhythm mini-game might be a bit too much. Maybe make it available to the player as an option after he has beaten the main routes (Mio, Ritsu, Azusa, Yui, Mugi)?

  2. Yeah, I'm not exactly too enthusiastic about the idea of a rhythm mini-game either, but somebody else suggested so I figured I'd test the waters and see what others thought.

    And believe me, I'll try to implement those suggestions for the route. They're all wonderful suggestions, that I wish I had thought up myself.
