Pride or Prejudice [DEMO]
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
