I was thinking about start writing a period drama simulator game in the style of a Jane Austen novel- where you can play a heroin coming of age in some sort of simile to the Georgian era, with the ROs playing the most typical roles of the love interests in the novels of Jane Austen and similar authors, for example: the brooding and aloof rich person with a heart of gold // the impoverished but noble and hardworking… and so on.
BUT! As fun as it sounds (at least for me) and as much as I like those dramas in movies… they are in fact set in a society with different morals and I’m an overthinker, therefore I can think of many things that could go wrong and I would like to read opinions please, so:
Main points of the game:
– It would have to a gender-locked female MC because somehow it would not have the same effect with others genders 
because of the roles of the society during that age (cough, sexism). This makes my eye twitch, so I plan on making it the least sexist as it can possible be without missing the vibe.
– The objective of the MC would be get an stable way of life. Of course I don’t plan to write a story in which the MC has to be forced into a marriage of convenience (unless they want to lol) or of any type, but the main plot is romantic and I plan on the secondary characters suggesting you to marry so… IDK how to handle that?!! I accept suggestions.
– Also, racism definitely won’t be a part of it because who would need that, iugh.
– I’d also like to include some RO’s with interchangeable gender and/or female ROs and for that to happen I’d like to make the society much more accepting.
– What do you think of bad ROs? All period dramas have this type of character that tries to woo the protagonist but we learn later that they are in fact, a treacherous or inconstant person, someone you shouldn’t trust. I’d like to include that, as a trap 
with foreshadowing (in form of gossip! as the trope demands) but you can also fall in the trap lol
What is your opinion on bad ROs?
- I don’t like the idea of bad ROs
- I don’t mind if there are bad ROs
- I like the idea of bad ROs
I would like to think this idea sounds promising, but ofc I’d need to actually work on it lol. A big issue would be to get the right way of speaking of the time, but well. That’s a problem for the future. I know this game would not be everyone’s cup of tea, but how many of you would actually be interested in this game?
- I’d definitely play a game like that.
- MAYBE I would play it- you have piqued my interest.
- Nah, it’s not my cup of tea.
Finally, if someone has some typical or cliché character or scene trope with period drama romance novel vibes I would love to hear your ideas, even if this game ends in nothing, it would be for my own amusement 
We were brainstorming about this with my sister yesterday lol Examples of scene: the indispensable ball scene. Character: the soldier with a mysterious past who makes all the girls swoon.
