When it comes to gameplay, I really enjoy the relationship points aspect. By completing certain objectives or goals, you grow a relationship with the character. It's fun to play through and learn about the character you are trying to woo while developing your own character. A moderately large world to explore, discover what can be obtained from visiting different spots, work towards the innevitable "reward Twisted Evil

" if you succeed at wooing the character, different and interesting endings, secrets to discover, that's whats fun to me.

Here's an example of 3 games I have played and very much enjoyed playing:
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/344482 ((Adult))
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/376491
http://www.funny-games.biz/aching-dreams.html ((Adult))

Simple, fun even if a little too "GRIND GRIND GRIND", rewarding.

If I could have my perfect world, in the adult games a more "ZONE-ish" style interactive ending would be the thing I add to these games.

With my favourites, it tends to be where you learn a bit about each girl when you talk to them, and build up stats, each girl liking you to be high in a certain stat or combination of stats, and buying gifts, each girl preferring a different type of gift, and get a job, which earns you money depending on a stat (usually intelligence). Once you've talked to a girl enough, you go on a date, and give her gifts and answer questions about herself to show you've paid attention. After a few successful dates, you get the "prize". Sorry if that all doesn't make sense. Not sure how easy that would be for you to do, either.

((Hey Wallstreet / Tadelesh, have you guys heard of Himeya Soft or G-Collections, or Peach Princess? They've been liscencing/translating/importing dating sims from Japan for a while now. I have a few of them, and some are definately better than others, but... it might be worth while to give them a looksee, and see if any of them spike your interest.))
