Showcase Mecha dating simulator

I've taken a break from my larger projects to prototype a game that's been on my mind ever since I played the queer mecha interactive fiction Heaven Will Be Mine. The core idea is to have your dialogue options also be your combat actions as you talk to/fight another pilot.

The html5 demo is here, password is 'gay'.

I'm still struggling to nail down exactly what I want the mechanics to be. Some kind of basic resource management e.g. pressure that you're under or spoons a la Depression Quest. I'm also a very slow writer, so making a narrative game might not be playing to my strengths.

Now that is a different concept of a game. So different. But very interesting.

Deffo looks different but cool at the same time.

This somehow made me remember the "insult sword fight" in Monkey Island ^_^
