Greatest idea I've had since gluing sliced bread back together.

I'd like to create a freemium dating sim. Don't point your finger at Namco High! I'm talking about a genuine freemium game with little to no enjoyable content that the player must suffer through unless they generously fill my diminutive bank account with lots of glorious e-dollars. Now, this might seem like I'm just being greedy, but it's more than that. I want the gaming community to experience something truly amazing, but I don't want to do anything to make that happen, or make it all that amazing if it does. Instead, with your help, I will be able to pay someone else to add content and increase the quality of the dating sim with a fourth of what you'll give me. Everyone benefits! ...and it'll actually be an eighth.

Gameplay would be standard 2D dating with multiple stock character females for your ordinary, average high schooler to chase after. Initially, there will only be three choices: Fatty, Greasy, and Dirty, but with the purchase of conquest bundles, the player will be able to unlock an additional nine girls in groups of three: "Better Than Nothing", "Averagely Attractive", and, the premium package of "Unrealistically Pretty Bitches." Of course, there's something for the ladies. By choosing a female character, all twelve choices will now be labeled as "traps." Eventually, palette swaps or completely new portraits may be created, but that'll cost more money. Hopefully, fundraising will be held and a fifth of the proceeds will go towards making that goal a reality. Numerous mini-games (two) will be accessible at launch at half their price for the first three days, and numerous clothing options, accessories, colors, companions, font changes, and horse armor will be made available for purchase over time at the game's e-store.

What makes my idea unique is the RPG elements I plan to incorporate. Your character will need to learn various skills necessary to woo the love of his life, like how to wield a shield, how not to shit himself in front of others, how to turn a door knob, understanding algorithms, doing taxes online, cooking newt, and clicking a cookie repeatedly to summon ovens and old women who will serve as part of the unholy army you'll need to amass in order to seize control of not only the planet, but also the entire high school! To accomplish this, however, you'll need to gain enough experience, which will be earned over time. Each second equals an experience point, and each level only requires 100,000 of them, so the more you play, the sooner your character will be able to dress himself properly and walk down the stairs without losing health. Be careful, because fainting in battle will result in a minor loss (all of it) of experience gained for that level. I understand work and family can be problematic, so I've included pay options to help speed things along. Why wait when you've got things to do, right? Also, at the end of each stage, the character will be able to choose between a boxing match, a high-speed race, or a match-three game against the lizard wizard Randuft. He's quite a handful, but hints and assistance are available at the e-store.

Once you've farmed enough cabbage to unlock the ivory lighthouse, you and your lady of choice will be invited to the prom. There are five endings to obtain which will be dependent upon the choices you make and the small (large) amount of money you would be willing to pay. Girls don't like their men to be cheap, so you'll definitely want to buy all of them.
