So I'm writing a romantic story-game called Mellifluous, and basically the majority of the story-game is told in past-tense, with you looking back on your life with your significant other. So here I'm just trying to idea-jam and see what romantic adventures are possible. If anybody has any ideas, please help, romance is my worst subject in writing (which is exactly why I'm writing it.)

Condensed version of all that:
Romantic events that people would like to see in a story-game.

Things to know:
These should work for male, female, and non-binary people (you'll have the option in the storygame to choose any of those for yourself and your lover as well).
Because I'm lazy and going with a cliche - you know the person since childhood.

Any ideas?

 

 

 

Romance is my tough subject to get at too. ^_^ Try using rare personality types to make something nobody has really seen of as most romantic games heavily depend on them. Not much else I can really help with though. :D

Well as romance is like my least favorite thing in the story business, I cannot help you.

Here's a link.

Have you tried reading a few of the stories here? Snow does basically the same thing you're trying to do, so you can get ideas there.

Also the multi-gender route is going to make things more difficult. If it's your first story, I'd try being less ambitious.

Have an ending where you murder your lover because they... Um, I dunno.
