A group going by the name of /b/ Game Studios (yes, that /b/) is planning on creating the first MLP FiM Dating sim based on some pictures that popped up way back when FiM wasn't an internet phenomenon.
The creator is asking if people would actually play something like this
Silly anon, of course people would play it. This is the internet after all!
Not that I would...
Never in a million years...
Nope...
ANYWAY, you can contact him at [email protected] if you have any questions! He is currently looking for a crew of people who are talented in the Ren'Py Visual Novel Engine, people who can write stories about all the ponies (except Fluttershy), artists, and musicians.

Do you have something against /b/ Seth?
ReplyDeleteIs this the same project ive seen so often on ponychan? Is it finally getting done?
ReplyDeleteoh dear god.....
ReplyDeletePlease tell me this is planned to have male ponies too. ;-;
ReplyDeleteLol, he's using the same program I was using when I figured I was going to make the visual novel if no one else did. I opened it up, and suddenly realized, i had no idea what i was doing.
ReplyDeleteBeing someone who is from /b/ and joined ponies through /b/ and still frequents /b/...
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering why I've literally never heard of this group, or even this particular user.
IF I knew how to do this I would make one myself. I need to exercise my flash.
ReplyDeleteKill it with fire!
ReplyDelete@NinesTempest
ReplyDeleteSame story.
...How is the luna romance going to work? All fan pics?
ReplyDeletewat
ReplyDeleteNow I can finally satisfy my self-insert-shipping desires.
ReplyDeleteHey, if there's a Harem option, I'm all fine and dandy.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I'd love to see this get done, from what I get from the thread, this has been 'revived' a few time, each time the op mysteriously disapearing (to the moon perhaps?) Good luck i guess :D
ReplyDeleteI wonder if choosing your gender is an option because if a male pony is the only option to play as in this dating sim......NOPE
ReplyDeleteTell them to add Trixie so he plays it.
ReplyDeleteNot Fluttershy? Than what's the point...
ReplyDeleteYes, I'll play it.
ReplyDeleteI'm already a big fan of a girl's cartoon show about ponies and a hell-bound furfag, what's trying a dating sim going to do for my rotten soul? Ha!
Do it. Do it, do it, do it.
I hear that /b/ hired a bunch of Mexicats to help program the game. You know what they say about monkeys and typewriters.

ReplyDeletewould it be... saucy?
ReplyDeleteI am definitely playing it.
ReplyDeleteJust thought I would clarify.
I'm an awful person after all...
MUST>.... PLAY!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it'll be really good, provided they try to stay clear of spelling and grammatical errors. Oh, who am I kidding? I think it'll be really good despite all the spelling and grammatical errors. Plus, I'll take basically anything.
ReplyDeleteDARN IT! I Was hoping to do this first! I've been planing out a script, practicing on Ren'Py, and planning on asking my fellow Game Designers at my college for helping me out. Oh well, maybe I can work on this one. If they let me.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell, I'm a fan of dating sims in general. Why NOT a pony themed one?
ReplyDeleteDO NOT WANT
ReplyDeleteI think it would be amusing if it was set up so that, no matter what you did, you ended up failing.
ReplyDeleteI remember reading about this on one of the Chans. Based off what I saw I think I'll steer clear of it.
ReplyDeleteI would play it, but only if you could choose your gender.
ReplyDeleteYa. Would.
ReplyDeleteALL OF MY MONEY... if Big Mac is an option.
ReplyDeleteOh god, why am I excited? Why am I excited over a SIM DATING GAME!? *looks at the picture*
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, LUNA! <3
There was a time when ponies on /b/ were a ridiculous notion.
ReplyDeleteMe want.
ReplyDeleteI'd probably give it a glance, but dating sims aren't really my thing. Now, how about that kart racer I've been so frequently asking about?
ReplyDeleteSweet. Totally playing.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteNonsense!
Finally, more things for Rainbow Dash to be shipped with (sarcasm). It seems like I can never get away from shipping *sigh*
ReplyDeleteNot my thing, but I'll admit option C. for Pinkie Pie made me laugh.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteI usually go to a /b/ pony thread once a day.
As long as there's no rule 34. Keep it to sweet stuff and nothing taht would make Fluttershy cry and hide in a box.
ReplyDeleteUnless they changed it since I saw the endings spoilers (about a month ago), it isn't rule 34. Just very suggestive...
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteSorry, but according to rule 35 they may have to.
For the love of Luna, please let this be on the android if possible.
ReplyDelete"Neighbro" Typo or pun?
ReplyDeleteI'm deeply disturbed by the possible Rule 34 in this.
ReplyDeleteComedic innuendos are fine.
Outright 34 is... well, disturbing.
It might be interesting, but yeah rule 34 would take it too far.
ReplyDeletei would play it. i am already on the fast path to hell so i figure why not? i say do it.
ReplyDeleteYes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes YES!
ReplyDeleteI wanna date Derpy and Celestia!
God this fandom gives rise to interesting moral dilemmas.
ReplyDeleteFor example, is it bestiality if both partners are sentient?
would I play?
ReplyDeleteHECK YES!
If it happens, I will play the hell out of this.
ReplyDeletei dont care what has to be done, this needs to see the light of day
ReplyDeleteALL MY MONEY
ReplyDeleteI won't lie, I'd play it. Though I second a lot of the other commenters who would prefer this to NOT have any Rule 34; I could tolerate saucy, but that'd be it.
ReplyDeleteShut up and take my money!
ReplyDeleteACK cmon guys i keep hearing of all these awesome projects but NOTHING has been made yet!
ReplyDeleteI NEED MAH POH NEES
I'd play it, but I wouldn't be able to respect myself when I look in the mirror the next morning.
ReplyDeleteAll I ask is that it's kept tasteful. Maybe some sauce on the side, but that's it.
ReplyDeleteFucking lmao.
ReplyDelete...
Now my dreams of dating Twilight Sparkle can finally come true!
Can't believe i'll do it...but i'll start it here and cause some subjects...
ReplyDeleteSo a part of the bronies which we don't even know how much percentage they represent are RPers which we don't even know if they come from furries and god damnit someone needs to make a History and Origins of the Bronies and from which other type of people they come from...This is the only History which i'd be blowing up to see
I Only enjoy FIM because of the animation, trailers such as PonyCraft2,The Fandom(could list a lot), How sometimes the show parodies itself. Due to games aren't even completed, let alone be able to play them which takes down something which i would enjoy a lot, and would of enjoyed over 100% if it was made when i recently discovered the show
So i ask myself...should i discovered this show way later when season 2 would come? so i don't have to wait for anything, and i enjoy it to the fullest when it is recognised world-wide the games are created,fan-animations,professionaly made parodies,songs, Overall more quality stuff being piled together and put somewhere so i can enjoy it without breaks.
Or find it as early as possible to not miss anything in the database which would have a crap load amount of stuff in it which would be pretty hard to dig through? such as staring how 4 pony sketches drawn by Lauren Faust got over 15.000Dollars, or try to contribute to the fandom, lead a group of bronies, steer up by creating FanFics such as Cupcakes which got tons of attention...dunno
I'd probably play it out of extreme pony obsession more than actually liking shipping.
ReplyDeleteI would honestly lol if there ended up being rule 34 though
I'd play this for the sheer hilarity I'd be sure to find from this.
ReplyDeleteHope I can get some great laughs outta this.
I'm probably that one person who purposely picks the worst possible answers just to piss everypony off, yeah?
Does Bon-Bon have 5 legs in that picture?
ReplyDeleteAlso, clop clop clop.
@Drew Pickles secretary
ReplyDeleteActually, I do just that as well. I hope I get to trigger Pinkamena or Flutterrage in this. :)
...I dunno if i'm excited or not...really conflicted here.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is it better have Spitfire.
ReplyDeleteThis implies that Spike is an option? I am amused.
ReplyDeleteSoon every guy who likes this show will be called a closet furry. And FiM will be forever known as that one show with all the horse-sex fics.
ReplyDeleteI admit I'm biased in this matter and would rather see some kind of RPG without any dating. Especially since many dating games are pretty boring. If you always pick the "nice" option you win. And a part of me still believes that this is just a joke.
A nice date with mai waifu Twi? I'm game~
ReplyDeleteMe: Should I date a pony, or date a human?
ReplyDeleteFriend: Human?
Me: HELL NO, I could date a pony, A MOTHER-EFFIN' PONY! SCREW HUMANS, I WANT TO TAKE FLUTTERSHY ON A FREAKING ROMANTIC DATE, AND ACTUALLY FORGE A RELATIONSHIP FOR ONCE IN MY GOSH-DARNED LIFE!!!
Of course I'll be a nice gentlecolt. I just had to get that out of my system.
Heh, I think I'll have to pass.
ReplyDelete4:36 anon, I have the same fear, but that is why that I think if this DOES come out, I really really really hope there is NO rule 34 or anything even close to it.
ReplyDeleteIt came from /b/,
ReplyDeleteit asked to be spread,
it gives an email,
it implies rule 34...
I'm going to call troll.
Why the fuck would you faggots want this?
ReplyDelete@Pinkie_Pie_fan471 I feel ya pie, I feel ya
ReplyDeleteI don't know guys, apparently, he needs something called "optinion" in order to make this. Sounds like one of those theoretical super-heavy elements to me.
ReplyDeleteI really hope that fighting game comes out sometime...
ReplyDeleteFor this, however, I'd have mixed opinions. Keep it somewhat tasteful, if that's (even?) possible.
I'd call it a hoax though. Just my insignificant opinon.
@LoLZorZs
ReplyDeleteNo, because us current bronies who are awesome enough to wait for awesomeness are 20% cooler than those that will have it just fall in their laps.
LMAO at spike
ReplyDeleteMy body is ready
ReplyDeleteBring it on
@The Crook
ReplyDeleteThat... that's not a leg! *screams for the hills*
I loled at people talking about who programmed this...
ReplyDeleteI hope you people know that a retard could have programmed this.
Not all visual novels feature sex. You can have a visual novel with great romance and plot without having sex. For the one I planned on doing I wasn't going to feature any sex in mine. And yeah some people who like this series might be furries, but there are also people who aren't furries who like this show as well.
ReplyDeleteBut I believe that this game is being made for the sake of it being a fun game to play for everyone who wants to play it.
...So far, it's not programmed... what thread did you find it in? Haven't gone to /co/ in a week.
ReplyDeleteGuy who made these images, here. I thought about making a test thread on Ponychan for this, like, giving the options, seeing what options would be chosen, reacting accordingly...
About the H content: only if it were an alternate version, and would be all based on out-of-context gifs (at least, as I envisioned).
I'll try to keep an eye here. I probably should post some collection of these images on my DA first...
P.S.: Yes, "neighbro" was a pun.
The idea of "BAD ENDs" came up lately. Gotta respect your pony gal... or else.
P.S.3: Still has NO GAEMZ.
P.S.4:About Luna... gotta wait for season 2 to see if she's actually a grown-up. Some cute fanart started making me see her as a kid, so probably secondary character idea for now.
P.S.5: There's a visual novel in production in Ponychan by Python Tail that has actually nthing to do with dating, check it out.
Cool concept, and I'd probably play it regardless of its rating on the clop index. I really, really, REALLY hope Luna is dateable; and to the original creator of the pics, I think sheer logic says it's okay to date her; pretty sure she came of age sometime in her thousand year prison sentence. xD But I can see where she kinda has that "loli" thing about her.
ReplyDeleteALL my money
ReplyDeleteWhats this? A pony dating sim? WITH LUNA!?
ReplyDeleteDO WANT
@blitzthedragon
ReplyDeleteI blame Johnjoseco and his ice cream picture. She looks so happy and innocent there. Besides, not sure if she was frozen inside Nightmare Moon.
Alright, for anyone who is wondering, I am the one who has came up with the concept for the game, And of course, I don't usually frequent /b/, but when I do, it's just browsing. I also am using the name /b/ as it is intended on 4chan, to represent random. So if you have a problem, just tell me. And the reason there is no fluttershy, is because I have that part under control. And, yes, there will be plenty of H (Hentai) endings, as concepted on the original thread on 413(?) chan. If you have any more questions, email me.
ReplyDeleteHow quaint.
ReplyDeleteI'd probably click on the link...and either run screaming or continue from there :P
I agree with anonymous. Programming something like this is like a piece of cupcake. The writing & art however is an entirely different story.
ReplyDeleteOh ya, and the Ren'Py visual novel editor, is a combination of Javascript and HTML, so it takes a genius to work.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're gonna try to do it on your own or to work with the envisioner, Jeff?
ReplyDeleteBecause it would be nice to either credit or make up your own dialogue (even because the original one is a bit lacking). Maybe both.
This is hysterical. I'm all for this. xD
ReplyDeleteIts going to be an independent project from any outside sources, but credit will be given to the op, an anon on 413chan.
ReplyDeleteAnd for all those people who want to know if Rule 34 will be involved, An anon up there did say that Rule 35 makes it so we have to do it. And yes, there will be three versions made (hopefully). A "Human" version, where ponies are replaced by human counterparts, a "hardcore brony" version, where there will be rule 34, and a "friendship" version, where there will be dating, just no rule 34.
ReplyDelete@Jeff
ReplyDeleteThanks, that's nice of you! I'd prefer an "anon from /co/" though, if you don't mind?
Actually, im pretty sure it wasnt /co/...
ReplyDeletehttp://fim.413chan.net/fim/res/1525.html
>seth wouldn't play it
ReplyDelete>posts it anyway
I SMELL LIES
Seriously, I'll watch this project.
YES
ReplyDeleteYES
YES
YES
YES
YES
YES
YES
YES
YES
...and, I would propose...
Yes.
@Jeff
ReplyDeleteof course it's from /co/, what do you think fimchan even is
@Jeff
ReplyDeleteI originally posted in /co/, I just made a thread on fimchan to collect it after the mass bans on 4chan, to contribute to the site in my own way back then. But yeah, I can see how you saw it there.
@Anonymous
I believe Sethisto was joking, irony and stuff...
I sure hope one filly isn't as easy to get as another, like would Twilight throw herself out there like Rarity might?
ReplyDelete...Um...interesting?
ReplyDeleteA visual novel will live or die on its writing, so it's wise to heavily restrict player choice. (Force them to play a known character, restrict the dating pool, etc.) Although this looks like it means to be a more generic dating simulation, so w/e.
ReplyDeleteI actually think I'd rather go pranking with Pinkie and Dash, or read in Twilight's library, or buck apples with A.J., or count bunnies with Fluttershy, or model dresses with Rarity, or deliver mail with Derpy, or raid fridges with Derpy, or watch T.V. with Carrot Cake, or brush hair with Colgate, or plant gardens with Roseluck and Daisy, or learn music from Lyra, or hate everything with Gilda, or fly with Spitfire and Soarin', than try to get into their saddles.
It would take a very well-constructed (and rather lengthy) dating sim to build a real feeling of mutual familiarity with a fictional character, particularly if there's a lot of characters to choose from.
@Anonymous
Mind is far more important than body, so 'bestiality' (and the taboo that goes with it) should be reserved for sapient x non-sapient. After all, sapient creatures are people, not beasts.
Did he actually say dating sim? Those pics just convey a rpg in general.
ReplyDelete@Star Whistle
ReplyDeletePython Tail, the guy making an actual VN, seems to be taking the approach you're talking about. Hopefully we'll get to see it done.
@Anonymous
On these pics? Yep, dating sim.
This looks fun.
ReplyDeleteFluttershy Fluttershy Fluttershy Fluttershy Fluttershy
ReplyDeleteFluttershy Fluttershy Fluttershy Fluttershy Fluttershy
Fluttershy Fluttershy Fluttershy Fluttershy Fluttershy
Fluttershy Fluttershy Fluttershy Fluttershy Fluttershy
...please?
I've played Tsukihime, so if this ever does get finished, I'm definitely gonna try it out.
ReplyDeleteWhat I'm wondering is, is the idea for this to be a pure slice-of-life style dating sim, or will there also be an adventure plotline in there?
>there will be three versions made (hopefully)
YES. Even better IMO would be if they can be bundled as one game with a configuration option on the start screen to switch between the versions.
>reads OP's bigass image
ReplyDelete>reads fimchan thread
Looks like someone forgot the best pony! (Both of them.)

ReplyDeleteThis world is unclean.
ReplyDeletewhat the?
ReplyDeleteWell, this is kind of pathetic I must say. But whatever floats your boat.
ReplyDeleteThis doesn't bode well...
ReplyDeleteGuess what Pinkie Pie's bad ending is...
ReplyDelete...well okay then. If someone wants to play this then they should go for it. Ill be standing over here in this corner far away from it... judging you, tolerating you.
ReplyDeleteYES!
ReplyDeleteThis pleases Anon
Well, at least it pleases *this* Anon...
I would play every version.
ReplyDeleteHow about no.
ReplyDeleteI first found Twilight and Rarity's months ago on dA. I'm not sure whether they were somepony from the show or just phrased it wrong that they sounded like they were.
ReplyDeleteThank god, pony games aren't actually playable, This game would ruin us completely it's worser than having Cupcakes, at least that's memorable in a non-hateable way and actually fun that it's considered the most fucked up fanfic of them all and the popularity it received
ReplyDelete@Luna
ReplyDeleteDon't you mean the one from Kreoss, an animator? Featuring Pinkie and Fluttershy?
I'd only play it if there was a gender choosing option and a completely clean pornless option. cause then it'd just be like choose-your-own-adventure with cute shipping.
ReplyDeleteIf this works out, and isn't just a pipe dream, it could be good. It would be tough to get it right as pretty much everybody has different ideas about how each pony would react in certain situations. Still could work, You just need the right people.
ReplyDeleteI'll treat this the way I treat fanfiction. You guys can do whatever you want with it, just don't get any on or near me.
ReplyDelete@NinesTempestSame. Off note though, /b/ is a poison, if you haven't been there, don't go. As for myself, it's too late. I'm corrupt... oooo look, gore thread.
ReplyDeleteooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ReplyDeleteFrom the pictures in the fim.423 chan topic, and you can get a bad ending for cheating on Rarity. Here's an idea: You literally date everyone you can and mantain a relationship with everyone. Then by doing someone you get found out by everyone then you get a fate worse than all the bad endings combined.
ReplyDeleteReally, the only reason I would play this is to get every bad ending.
@Anonymous 7:24
ReplyDeletedoing something*
That just made my post a lot more awkward.
@Anonymous 7:24 7:32
ReplyDeleteI read your first post and thought it was a funny idea. Gotta take care about who you do...
Anyway,
ReplyDeleteIve trashed the R34 pony version, because there is such a massive group against it, but, if it gets enough requests in the future, it can be done. For now, there will be an R34 free version with ponies, and a R34 version with humans.
-Jeff
Why not Fluttershy?
ReplyDeleteCan I score with Rainbow Dash?
ReplyDeletePLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE
The need sexy voices.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd play this just for the sheer WTF. It looks silly and fun, in a sense.
ReplyDelete*hoping for male ponies*
ReplyDelete*also hoping for the option to be female, but.. that's a much bigger change*
@Anonymous 7:24 7:32
ReplyDeleteAhem... from my previous idea, I have another one. If possible, make a D option. The D option will always be a rude comment. I find the lack of rude comments in the pictures in the fimchan topic surprising.
But this idea is a really bad one in my opinion, as it would make getting the bad endings easier. You need some challenge, you know?
I'd play this. I'd just ask for the rating to be for general audiences and for amusing bad endings. Also, have friendship paths. And Celestia as the secret character.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpnlscQHJKI
ReplyDeleteThat is all.
If I can has Fluttershy you can has all my money and internets.
ReplyDeleteOh God. Don't know if want.
ReplyDeleteThis won +5 internets.
ReplyDeleteOh I would play this game until I got all the endings. XD
ReplyDeleteI much prefer the /b/ from 420chan, as opposed to the original one.
ReplyDeletePlease note that this is NOT the game which got cancelled. We are still working hard on this one.
ReplyDeleteGlad too know you are still working on it, It's nice to see a sign, Is there a update blog or something like that to watch this project?
ReplyDeleteI'm a girl :(.
ReplyDeleteEveryone thought I was a guy.
This game is done. Both of the sims. Looks like the other one just couldn't hold together either. Quick! Somepony start another one! And this time make it to the end!

The Game is not cancelled. This is just a miscommunication, and we are working hard on making this.

Were working on a more streamlined information delivery system right now.
-Jeff
when will it be finished? i am not rushing you i would just like to know
ReplyDeleteanother bit of me has died today >_>
ReplyDeleteJust to clarify something, IM done with the sim. ITS not done. :P I have come to realize thats how it might come across but thats not it. A team member greatly wronged and insulted me, my friends, and my family in a rather in-Brony like way so I did what I could to get myself off the team, most of whom I still have great respect for. I hope it works put for them still.

ReplyDeleteI would play this. :3
ReplyDelete...I love ponies as much as the next guy, shit, anypony can see that just by looking at my name and avatar... but my feelings are mixed on this game. I suppose it depends on the direction this game were to take... If this were to end up as some casual dating sim, maybe with a few innuendos and suggestive themes on the side to keep things interesting, this would have potential to be pretty awesome, but if it were to be an outright H-Game, THAT would be going way too far for my tastes.
ReplyDeleteechii!!! This game has got to come out (Closet clopper)
ReplyDeleteWhen's the freakin' release date?
ReplyDeleteim a goldfang, from the funnyjunk bronies, even although most of us just heard of this, everyone is looking forward to it
ReplyDeletealso a question
ReplyDeletethis dating sim, does it involve kissing or 18+ stuff or what?
If i play this i garuanteed that i will have probaly wasted several minutes of mah life on it.....i wont be able to look at myself again after this....

ReplyDeleteHmmm... this reminds me of something that I have come acrossed. [Not sure if it is posted already but meh]
ReplyDeleteTo lure out all those pervy people out there. Here's a flash I found.
This MLP: FiM Dating Sim is made by PokéHidden and it is still a WIP. It currently has Rainbow Dash, Trixie and Pinkie Pie.
Anyway, I will be happy to post it for other people to witness [Clop to it].
http://eye.swfchan.com/flash.asp?id=102400&n=MLP+dating+sim.swf&w=496&h=368
[At the beginning of the flash, there's a "Less Bullshit Mode" to skip to the goodies, ENJ⑨Y!]
