Taken as a whole, their portrayal of her character was intended to get players thinking about how they play dating sims. Joseph’s wife Mary, Grey explained, was intended to come off as a crappy person during Joseph’s story, but you’re meant learn about her more redeeming qualities in bits and pieces throughout other dads’ stories. Grey admitted that she was surprised by how many people were vocally upset about Joseph’s ending. “Saying exactly what somebody wants to hear until they kiss you is what a sociopath does.”
“It shouldn’t necessarily be about ‘woo-hoo-ing’ everybody,” said Shaw, referring to The Sims‘ term for video game sex. That meant creating a couple of characters you could go on dates with, but not smooch in the end. So while most dating sims make your feelings paramount - allowing you to crowbar your way into just about any relationship - the goal of Dream Daddy was to put players on equal emotional footing with the characters they’d be dating. Shaw added that while Dream Daddy plays off dating sim tropes like “good” endings and “bad” endings, the dev team also wanted to subvert them. Your ‘good’ ending with him is that he’s like, ‘I need to work on myself before I can be in a relationship with anybody.’ I think that’s more true to life than showing that you liking somebody will be enough for this to work.” “Saying exactly what somebody wants to hear until they kiss you is what a sociopath does.” “No matter what you do, he’s gonna stay with Mary.
“Ultimately, there is no traditionally ‘good’ ending with ,” Grey said to me over the phone.
