Alright so I have some questions that need answering (please)

Question 1. After you start new game could there be a customization of the players personality?

Question 2. And is there gonna be a custom cursor?

Question 3. Could there also be a customization of what kinda mental issues they have-? ( and if the person doesn’t have any there could be a skip button )

Question 4. And could there also be a customization of what there alignment is (like chaotic neutral,chaotic good, etc)?

If this is all to much work you don’t have to put this stuff in I’m just asking and also

(Please tell me where the game is gonna be put up so I know ahead of time please please please please)

Have an amazing day to! 😋

And again if this is to much work that’s fine you don’t have to put any of that stuff in there ^^

Also THE NORMAL / MYSTIC MONKEYS ARE PRECIOUS

And I love your art style and keep workin hard! ^^

Again have a good day ^^

oooh a lot of questions!

So, with the TyranoBuilder engine, I am still quite new to it so I can't really make such an in-depth customization for the player. I will try my best to give some personality choices through the gameplay as well as gender options.

I will try to make a customizable curser, had the idea of maybe MK's staff or a little upside-down peach in the shape of a heart!

I do not have a release date for the demo, the writing is finished but the art/music/coding is still in development!

Hope this answers your questions!

Hiii, we haven't heard from you for a sec. Is the project still going? How are you? Are you ok? 🥺

I apologize for the lack of updates here. These past few months have been kinda not-so-great and I am more focused on other projects as of late. I will try to catch up with things, and I deeply apologize for keeping you all waiting!

[monkeying-around-sim]

Hi! Just wanted to say thank you so much for doing what everyone's been waiting for and making that LMK dating sim :D I'm hyped for this game whenever it comes out! I've only just found your page today so I'm not sure if you've already answered this, but will there be a lot of angst (specifically in Wukong and Macaque's routes)? (Please say yes, let us comfort those fluffy traumatized monkes ;-;)

There will be some angst in the game, although, I am focused on making it more of a comedic, feel-good vibe with some touches of hurt/comfort elements

MACAQUES TAIL LOOKS SO GLOSSY AND SHINY

I’m glad you like it! I can’t wait for y’all to see the expressions soon!

[monkeying-around-sim]

Macaque Sprite update!

With the game demo script written, I have decided to update the sprites for our favorite monkies! I am also gonna be updating MK's as well. I gotta say, I really put a lot of time and love to the new sprites, I hope you enjoy them!

Will the player be able to pick their pronouns and maybe a custom name? or will they be gender neutral?

The Demo will make the player gender-neutral by default and you will be able to write your own name down. Once I start to figure out the whole game, I want to add custom pronouns

[monkeying-around-sim]

Hi, I just wanted to ask, will the nsfw ver of the game be available to anyone who becomes a patron at anytime? Or is it just a reward for patrons who sub before the game is finished? (I hope this makes sense hfdgdg) I'm excited for both of your games btw! <3

Thanks!

it will be available to anyone who becomes a patron at anytime. This version will be accessible in $5 tier memberships or higher. You don't have to commit to the memberships either if you simply just want the game and leave!

What’s your favorite part of this process? I’ve thought about making a dating sim/visual novel before and am curious what you enjoy the most about the process!

sprite-making for me!

there is a really careful craft for these sprites and even though it is a really draining task, I absolute the whole process from sketching out the expressions to lining and coloring.

Although I am no composer, I can't help but also feel satisfied when making the sound design, including some music. Its really what pulls you into the imersion and vibe of a visual novel/dating sim

[monkeying-around-sim]

When did you start making this and what prompted it?

Literally on impulse and when the LMK fandom needed food.

I am currently making the MDHM game and after i gain enough experience on how to properly do one. I said I wanted to make one but I meant it as a joke.

clearly it stopped being one

[monkeying-around-sim]

Will you be able to

Make your own oc

No, sorry :(

Your character, or the player, will not have a placeholder or be seen in cutscenes. I really wish I could have enough experience to be able to program for you to customize your own character.

[monkeying-around-sim]

Will we be able to say what we want

What do you exactly mean by that?

#like dialogue?

[monkeying-around-sim]

Which is the funner monkey to work on?

So far, writing Wukong's charisma is a lot more fun!

[monkeying-around-sim]

When the demo comes out, where will we be able to find it?

Itchio

[monkeying-around-sim]

I don't know if anyone asked this but will the game be available for mobile? (asking for a friend :DD)

I think the program I am using could be mobile-friendly in browser mode

[monkeying-around-sim]

Did you write set the grief aside? because the art in it looks a lot like your style (Also are we allowed to ask about it even though the fanfiction is 18+?)

@sunwukongssuccessor and I both worked on the fic but they mostly write it and I just throw in ideas. And yes- I do the art for it c:

You could ask about it but it will have to go to my main @creepygnomeking as I want to keep this blog strictly about the progress of the sim and keep it PG-13 at most

Hi Gnome! With the new season of Monkie Kid coming out, I was wondering if you knew any places where we could watch it for free? :')

I believe someone, i don't remember who specifically, posted links on twitter that had the entirety of LMK, including s4

[monkeying-around-sim]

I HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE DATING SIM DON’T WORRY

I’ll admit, I put this game on hold because I have been really busy with my other game. However! After the S4 drop, it lighten the fire back! And over the course of my week vacation, the script for the demo has been completed!! Just had to do some editing and get some artwork done for the demo! Luckily, I am not working alone this time! Here are some monkey sprites!

I want to thank @sunwukongssuccessor for helping me with the writing! Please go support them as their fics are part of the reason I decided to start this project! I also wanna thank @looneylamb for joining the project and creating concept art for the game. Thank you all for being patient! Monkeying Around is back in progress!
