Inspiration

While brainstorming, our artist jokingly proposed to make a dating sim, "but instead of getting on the guys' good side, the guys are your sleep schedule, social life, etc." The rest of the team loved this idea, and so Self-Care Simp was born.

What it does

Get Roasted by the Goddess of Health, interact with Prezzz to keep up with your sleep schedule, and more! Self-Care Sim(p) is a dating sim-inspired game to help you keep up with your everyday needs!

There are five camp counselors, each in charge of one good habit. The player must stay on the good side of all the counselors, by practicing the aforementioned habits and earn their badges of approval. Only after obtaining all five badges can they leave the camp, and proceed to their next life where they will be able to fulfil their role as a hero.

With beautiful sceneries and a diverse cast of characters, you will be healthier than you were ever before, 'less you wish to disappoint all those who are believing in you :)

How we built it

We used the Ren'Py as our boilerplate platform and incorporated our own python code to determine the time for Prezzz' sleep schedule function.

Challenges we ran into

• 50% of the team had an ongoing midterm
• 25% of the team had a deadline
• 25% of the team does not major in software engineering
• 100% of the team just had multiple midterms in the past week
• Python's time module was confusing, but our head programmer, Niels, figured it out!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Getting the time entry right
• Surviving the midterms
• All of the art and music was self-made

What we learned

• This project was a python refresher, as all of us haven't used it in a while
• We learned to use a Ren'Py, a solid boilerplate base for our code
