Do you find yourself utterly uninspired to climb the fame ladder after the initial grind? Well, now you'll have a good reason to. Your idols will now have their own personal stories centered around various popular archetypes.

I've been planning to make this mod for a while but only now did I figure out a few key things to make it happen. I'm making good progress, and I'd like to share!

Idols may reach out to you and express their problems.


Plenty of dialogue choices to spice up the conversation.


Will you help them and start their unique questline?



Not just your idols have personalities now, you do as well!



Once an idol gets selected for a quest, they aren't just performers. They are special. If they graduate, their quest is over, you miss out on their own personal story.



STARRING:

- The Ojousama: you find out she's the daughter of the president of some giant conglomerate. Will you help her remain incognito? Or leverage her name for your own personal gain?

- Ms Prodigy: Mighty with her feet and voice in equal measure, she's the envy of your entire team. In her you find a hard working, proud girl, but will you manage to temper her pride?

- Ambitious Crossdresser: Shock! One of your dear idols is actually a boy! Why would he do such a thing, but more importantly, he's one of the fan favorites! Will you outs him immediately, or will you allow him to continue his path to stardom? Find out the dark secrets he's been hiding.

- Lady fatale: Idols dating is a touchy subject as it is, but this girl doesn't even care! Jumping from one guy to the next, showing up late after partying all night, she leads a double life and if she wasn't so talented you'd probably have gotten rid of her long ago. Will you fix her before she breaks you?

- Protect her smile: Bullying is a dreadful thing, and at least when it's in house you can deal with it. But what can you do when your favorite idol is being cruely harrassed at school?

And maybe more to come!

Each of these girls (and boy) will have their own questline where you explore and resolve their problems. These are unlocked as you gain fans and your group expands. They will also interact with eachother, have special events exclusive to these characters and so on.

PROGRESS

Things are still in early stages and right now there are limitations within the beta that I have to work around. I'm focusing primarily on the writing and once the game is further along in development I'll slowly start rolling out the gameplay features. No promises as to when there might be a release!

Hope you guys like it! Please leave suggestions and ideas, I just might implement them :)

Awesome idea! Seems like the game is finally coming to life. :D

Just a question! Will it be possible to disable some characters? For example the crossdressing one? I'm not really in to that for example, so it would be good if you could decide which ones you want and which not. Maybe being able to delete files for that event beforehand. 

But otherwise I really think this is one of the things the game desperately needs: Personality! So I'm glad you're working on that.

You always have an option to not dig into their problems, that stops the quest before it begins :)

Although some optional events of your other characters might end up not happening as there might not be another character to fill that role.  But it's a pretty flexible system so there's always a second option for an event to trigger. For example, if bullied girl needs an assertive, sassy character for a cut scene, either lady fatale or ms prodigy could fill that role in that cutscene.

So you already thought of this! That's good! I completely support you with this mod, I think this will be good!

I'm super excited for this omg! It looks amazing <3

Looks awesome! :D

Yess, this is honestly exactly what I hoped for when i first heard about this game!  Story trumps all for me, lol! Can't wait to see where this goes!

Thank you very much, this is something that the game really needs to be enjoyable for me. Stories, characters, and even more stories giving your idols some depth and life to them. Otherwise, they just remain soulless sprites, that I'm not sure it's worth going through all the grind for.

The base game is good, and getting better and better over time, but I also dearly hope that we won't get interesting stories only through user mods. I want to remain a believer *keeps fingers crossed*

Doing some black magic here, but did you manage to progress on it?

I was curious if this still worked / is being worked on still? Seems like a great idea.
