I love love love the creation of a label specifically for romance. However it seems that a lot of them are being created as strictly female player-character games. Are there furthur plans for games for us manly men with hearts for fluff and romance? PS So happy for Jim Dattilo. Will be excited to see his work outside of Zombie Exodus
It’s been said already but there’s a few M/M games planned. No M/F games yet or planned but they’re not being ruled out.
It’s a little weird to talk about how our games are developed using the word “planned.”
We have games that are in progress, that are under contract, and that are listed on the Upcoming Heart’s Choice topic, and I guess you could say those are games we “plan” to release. Lots of things get in the way, however!
But in a larger sense we don’t really plan our games–we are basically subject to who applies, what they’re able to write, whether they’re able to work well with our team, and whether they have a marketable idea for a game or an idea for a game that fits the needs of our slate. If someone applied and we liked their writing and they developed a solid pitch for a M/F game, that would fit our needs.
So saying or asking
doesn’t quite capture how things unfold behind the scenes. The games we have are the games that were pitched from writers we were confident were writing at a level suitable to our style, capable of learning how to operate ChoiceScript, and able to complete a game in a reasonable period of time.
That’s fair! Thanks for the reply.
Bit of semantics with wording there - bear in mind I am dyslexic so I figured ‘planned’ suited things - but ‘pitched’ is as you say better!
Can’t wait for these to come out. I always felt like the romance tag on HG and COG was kinda empty.
What is a good way of keeping up with some of these games and their release/updates? I ask because the All World Pro Wrestling certainly caught my interest but other than the Beta Tester post and some references to it possibly being released before the end of the year I don’t know much.

Y’all, I LOVE the logo!!! Very excited for the release.
It is finally there. That is great News. I am ready to throw my money around.
Played the demoes for Jazz Age and some of Dawnfall, great stuff! This looks to be a well done launch selection of games.
I’m so freaking excited! Everything looks awesome and I can’t wait to play all the other cool games! (And yes, I hope y’all enjoy the DAWNFALL demo! THANK YOU!)
Looking quickly at the listed planned games, I think the project that grabs my attention the most is that 18th century France setting. Any details on that one?
As for the rest… might try the wrestling game in memoriam of Slammed, even though I’m not that keen on male MC these days. Ah well, as long as the writing’s good.
Not sure what details you’re looking for. It’s in progress right now, and I hope we’ll publish it towards the middle of next year.
Not sure either, to be honest. Well, in the absence of a dedicated thread, waiting will be the name of the game. Best of luck to the author.
I have been too busy to play any of the demos yet, but I recommended All World Pro Wrestling to a friend and this is his feedback:
The game is fun, very well constructed and cleverly programmed. He loves that you can be dominant (not just in bed), even if your MC is small and light. Since he’s into bears, he’d love some more shorter/older/fatter/hairier rep, but he nonetheless appreciates the fact that there are bears at all in the game, and that the trainers are older. He’s particularly enjoying Stan.
One point of criticism: As a gay top with a small dick, he would like some fantasy respite from constant stereotyping and dick shaming re: small dick = bottom or unsatisfying. (He sent me a screenshot of Mandrew commenting on his character’s size and was a little irritated at the giant bear having the smallest dick, asking: “Because he’s submissive? ”)
Tried AWPW demo. Love it, cant wait for it to come out.
A Player’s Heart has everything I could ever possibly want and I’m so excited for its release next year!
Meanwhile, the demo for A Pirate’s Pleasure was really fun! Kinda would have wanted an f/f romance so the MC could be a swashbuckling lesbian legend on the seas but I’m interested to meet the other 2 LI’s once the full game is released!
Will any of these be released on Steam eventually? I like to keep everything in one place.
