So Andrew Hussie aka Lord Hussie, the creator of Homestuck made a dating sim with Namco. Buying it the second I can. This is a dating sim Ive been working on with Namco Bandais ShiftyLook where you can guide the romantic fortunes of all your favorite classic video game charact... wait. What? Youre confused? I cant imagine why. But ok, Ill start at the beginning. A while ago, ShiftyLook, which is a Namco Bandai jam, asked me if I wanted to work on a project for them. It could be anything. I said that sounds cool. Except that I already had a lot to do, so maybe it wasnt realistic. But they said thats no problem. All I had to do was assemble an elite team of writers, artists, and programmers, and tell them what to do. If I pulled together a crack squad of loyal creatives, they would HAVE to do what I said, no matter how little sense it made. So I said that sounds good. I thought about it really hard, for three of the most intellectually excruciating seconds of my life. Then I said we should make a dating sim. I mean. Obviously. They said, are you sure thats a good idea? I said, hey who do you think is in charge here? They said they were. I said, oh, right. But it didnt matter. In the confusion, my pitch had somehow been approved due to a clerical error in Japan. Then I shouted suckers and fell backwards out of the airplane. While tumbling magnificently back to Earth, I pulled the vintage rolodex out of my horsehair fannypack, and began recruiting the best of the best. And so my team was convened. They were waiting for me below with the trampoline thing firefighters use. They watched as the Hussie stunt-mannequin gently descended, and then exploded with unexpected confetti. I then revealed that I had been waiting there with them for the last several hours, wearing a disguise, straddling my most famous horse. I introduced myself, and they graciously pretended they didnt know it was me all along. (I repeat. Best of the best.) I then clapped my hands and rubbed them together a lot and said, whos ready to make some NOISE in the dating sim genre? Whos ready to DO SOME DAMAGE? Nobody knew what to say to that, so I pressed on valiantly. I think I know what the people want, I said. What they WANT, is to be able to manipulate their favorite classic video game characters into a variety of lurid but safe-for-work romantic encounters. What they WANT, for instance, is to cajole a cute Katamari into some sort of kissing situation with the spaceship from Galaga. Are you ready to GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT? They erupted into applause and began chanting my name, and they havent stopped since. Namco High comes out probably some time next month. - Andrew Hussie
