About

Play this beloved tale of romance, snark, and self discovery, but with your choice of gender and appearance, and a few other fun choices along the way.

This demo is just a couple of scenes to introduce the main characters and character creator. Feedback is very welcome, especially about the character creator or any bugs.

My plan is to start by creating a largely linear adaptation of the original novel, where choices have only minor effects. But once I have a playable game, I'm intending to keep adding extra features until I run out of steam.

Planned initial features:

  • A setting/plot which largely matches the original novel, but with the overt sexism and homophobia sanded off to create room for non-m/f relationships and non-binary characters.
  • Minor branching, maybe some short bad ends etc.
  • Redrawn art: the current sprites are placeholders, and the backgrounds are from my other game, Northanger Abbey.
  • More intuitive user interface.

Possible extra features:

  • More significant branching, with multiple love interests (probably Caroline Bingley, Charlotte Lucas, and Captain Fitzwilliam), and at least one happy ending with no romance or marriage.  
  • Extra Setting: A more obviously anachronistic lack of sexism/homophobia, changing the genders of some characters to be non binary and/or in non-m/f relationships etc.
  • Extra setting: Roughly historically accurate levels of sexism/homophobia, with notable effects if you make different gender etc choices.

Known issues:

  • the colour choose screen wiggles sometimes
  • self-voicing/image descriptions have not been done at all, it'll be basically unplayable right now, sorry
  • the text size choice is weird in the preferences menu at the start of a new game
  • some of the procedurally generated eye and hair colours look off
