"Dating Simulation" games, otherwise known as "Dating-Sims",
are a fairly popular genre in today's market.
This current trend is beginning to stray towards its eventual
endpoint. We are already beginning to see the completely
out there dating-sims arrive.
"Date Everything"
being the current 'wackiest' game I can thing of.
Despite this current trend, there are shockingly few
dating-sims that involve mermaids,
or fish of any kind for that matter.
So, that on its own gives my game "Plenty of Fish" a
fin up on the competition.
Beyond mermaid-similarities, one thing that a lot of dating-sim
games are is "visual novels". This will not be a focus for
"Plenty of Fish". We will have a large focus on the
fishing gameplay between your mermaid dates.
One final item that seperates "Plenty of Fish" from the
competition is our target of choice. Both the mermaids and the
player character will be women. There was no conscious effort to
make a game with only lesbians, but that is what we are
rolling with now, and it is another niche that Plenty of Fish
finds itself in.
