ROTTMNT Dating sim "I made you a mixtape" Announcement
Hey guys! Whenever I wrote these fics I always felt like I could give more, do more, and eventually that rabbit hole ended on this, I am starting a project to create a ROTTMNT visual novel/dating sim!
In this game you will be able to romance any of the four turtles, so far three different endings are planned (A good ending, a normal ending and a bad ending) your choices matter for the plot.
Today I created the design for the title screen and I will keep it like this as a placeholder while I work on the character sprites
The icon on the left has already been added as the icon for the game window, the backgrounds and a map for the player to interact with will be worked on soon and the designs are based on @honeylief 's design of the new lair with their permission.
The script for the prologue has already been written too!
I am extremely excited for this project and the ideas are flowing! I am also getting suggestions from the discord chat, however if anyone wants to help (Programmers, Artists, musicians, or anyone who knows how to use ren'py) it will be greatly appreciated as it is quite an ambitious project and I am not a programmer, I am just beginning to learn how to use ren'py.
“I want a cute fan made sfw Rise dating sim! ^^ It would be cool if we got to hang out with/date the Mad Dogs (I imagine Leo, Don, Raph, Mikey, April, and Cass being choices)! If I had the correct skills, I would totally do it myself!”
This is my TMNT VN player protagonist! OTA!
19 pushing 20 years old.
Any/all Pronouns.
Legging enthusiast.
Ota Clean Model sheet. (Up to date).
Solidified design and palette for Ota the TMNT vn prOTAgonist. Now to finish their portraits for our prologue demo baby. Ota goes in game by THEY/THEM pronouns but you can use any/all pronouns for them. (I wanted pronouns to ce a choice of the player but I'm gonna be real with you, its more text and code work I could be using for other things. And I want a canonically nb protag, so I decided to keep all dialog referring to Ota with They/them).
Their design of not showing their eyes it's based on the player insert trope of dating sim protagonist designs.
They have a couple canonical identifiers (family relationship, friends etc.), but most is maleable, I want them to be able to be a player insert but also their own character.
I was wondering if I could maybe request some tmnt if that's ok! I was wondering if maybe you'd be comfortable writing a headcanon for the 2012 turtles finding out reader's secret of having an otome game obsession (me) ><
I was just kinda wondering what thier reactions would be to like...the honest to goodness library of otome routes both of us have read at some point in time! ><
Hope that's ok! No pressure to write at all! This is only if you're comfortable with it!
Hope you're having the loveliest day, and getting plenty of rest, and receiving some warm happy hugs!!!
Girl I am so sorry that this has taken me so long to get to!
Leonardo:
Leonardo has definitely dabbled in otome games, although I don't see him as having played a whole lot of them. I could see him being a huge fan of Ikemen Sengoku, though. His favorite IkeSen suitor would probably either be Hideyoshi or Sasuke, no you cannot convince me otherwise. I think he would have a loose-liking of Nobunaga but mostly just because he kinda gives Karai vibes (i do not ship Leo/Karai). I can kinda see him kinning Hideyoshi and admiring Sasuke, being more attracted to Nobu. Leo may be taken sightly aback if he realizes just how many otome games you've played. I don't think he would judge you, though. In fact, he might find it fun to play some of the routes with you and share thoughts, almost like an otome version of a book club. I giggle at the though of playing IkeVamp Leo's route and talking to TMNT Leo about IkeVamp Leo (his almost-namesake) and just how they're so different lmao. I NEED TO HEAR HIM VOICE AN OTOME MAN, HAVE YOU HEARD HIM SPEAK??? HE'S GOT THE PERF VOICE
Raphael:
As much as I hc Raph to be such a (secret) sucker for romance media, I feel like he wouldn't really understand or be interested in otome games. He wouldn't seriously judge, but he would tease you for playing so many. He'd joke, saying that you probably like your anime boyfriends more than him, but I think deep down that he would really want the reassurance. If he was gonna like any otome game, it would have to be one here the MC falls in love with a "monster," be that a literal one, in the sense of them just not being human (Like IkeVamp) or in the sense of the LI just having irredeemable qualities/being aggressive/being evil, I think that's the only kind he could really get behind. Any kind of Beauty and the Beast type of story he looovesssss. Because of that I could see him enjoying Ikemen Prince (very lightly, he just likes the comparison to beauty and the beast), but if he were going to get attached to any otome game, it would be Ikemen Vampire. I think Theo would be his kin, and his crush.
Donatello:
No matter how many otome games you've played, I guarantee that this man has played more. And not just otome games, but really any dating sim. The FNaF Dating Sim will always (ironically, mostly because of nostalgia) have a place in his heart, but honestly, I kind of see him being a big fan of MLQC (Lucien is his favorite 100% sweetheart, but also evil scientist? What do you mean it's not Don?) No matter what game he plays, he always either falls for his kinnie, or a woman way out of his league lmao. Without fail. I think he would also be a fan of the Your Boyfriend Dating Sim. It scratches the immoral, fucked up, obsessive part of his brain (my boy just wants someone to love him as much as he loves them :c)
Here is the bracket! I tried my best to try and make the initial matches as fair as I could, but there's definitely a chance that I did not pair these very well due to my limited knowledge of how popular these franchises and characters are. Here is the list of matches with poll links. Current matches are above the cut, everything else is under it.

Yo I just read your 'Rise!Turtles in high school' and I couldn't help but think about this being the basis of a dating sim lol. Just the 5 main love interests & how they fit into different troupes, the environment of a high school and the boys + April secretly being Ninja vigilantes just just-
I can't stop thinking about this, I need this content. I want to make this happen fr
this post > turtle high schoolers < for those curious c;
BUT oh my gosh you’re right 🤭 anyone know a game creator??? I was rlly just thinking about the clubs/activities they would do in high school but it ended up being like a sort of profile
I love the idea that April is the big sister of the whole group, then each year she’s taking the turtles under her wing, showing them the ropes 😭💚 they would def be running high school such a POWER GROUP
I would so totally download a tmnt dating sim game/app 👀
I did @silvesi 's Art timeline thing, was a lot of looking through old notebooks but it was pretty fun!
Crazy to see how long ago certain art periods in my life were, and how I improved through the years!
Transcript now below the cut (Becuase my writing is probably a bit hard to read)
Cesco’s Art Journey
2009-2022
2009-10: 8-9 yr/o
I loved old cartoons and made Looney Tunes style comics with OC’s like; Tom the Cat, and the Cartoon Law Police.
Favorite things to draw: Dragons, Secret bases, Comics
2011-12: 10-11 yr/o
Anime influence sets in, I start defining the head from the neck. I got really into MLP and drew a lot of that. Also made my half-fairy half-witch mechanic OC.
Favorite things to draw: Ponies, My New OC, Sailor Moon
^ B.D. Before Deviantart (Dating for Art during this period may not be accurate)
Deviant Art Era:
2013: 12 yr/o
Anime style gets even more set in. Bodies become more proportional, heads less dorito shaped. My Gw2 art started a little here. I also made more (Self-insert) OCs.
Favorite things to draw: Gw2, Anime Girls
2014: 13 yr/o
Got a tablet and started some digital art. A lot of Warriors art because I had written a fanfic, (and ran a Cinderpelt/Heart ask blog). Also got a blender pencil and learned how to shade
Favorite things to draw: Warrior Cats, Anime, Mermaids, Cat People.
2015: 14 yr/o
SO Much Art this year! Probably related to my realization I could draw people who were not white (like I was). A lot of new OCs, also the start of my Splatoon Phase. No digital art (It got lost :( )
Favorite things to draw: All my New OCs! Inklings.
A.D. After Deviantart v
2016: 15 yr/o
Splatoon phase is in full force now. My style moves away from anime as I focus more on facial features (Drawing noses my beloved). I realized I was gay and so were my OCs, (thank you Undyne Undertale). Also got really into Star Wars again (thank you Clone Wars)
Favorite things to draw: My Inkling OCs, Undyne, Ahsoka, My Cat and Rabbit OCs (Tajiri and Alkita)
2017: 16 yr/o
OCs Galore! Now with stories! I made SO Many new OCs this year, my universe of elves, gay royals, a magical girl and magical boy. Things also got very gay and trans this year. I humanized my Splatoon OCs because I phased out of that.
Favorite things to draw: Elves, Mira and Lillian (Splat OCs), Gay and Trans people (a new constant in my art)
2018: 17 yr/o
Made a whole new roster of Monster OCs for a (hypothetical) dating sim. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles hyperfixation comes back with a vengeance, but drawing turtles is hard so I make a human AU (no set era, an amalgamation of all versions + my own characterizatoins) This is also the start of some Floppy drawings in my sketchbook 👀?
Favorite things to draw: Human TMNT, Monster OCs, Monster High characters.
2019: 18 yr/o
Even more TMNT and Monsters, though things start to slow down and most of my sketches are in my school sketchbook.
Favorite things to draw: Human TMNT, Monsters, Made up gods and Mythologies.
2020: 19 yr/o
Was simultaneously a Very bad and Very good year for art. Lots of finished pieces for my Portfolio, but also a lot of Struggle. Started my Gw2 blog though!
Favorite things to draw: Portfolio Lockdown year. (Gw2 OCs?)
2021: 20 yr/o
This year was rough at the start, I think this blog is what kept me going. It was nice to have an outlet to talk about OCs (No longer trapped in Google Docs)
Favorite things to draw: Can you guess?
2022: 21 yr/o
This year has also been a rough one, but one again I am happy to have this blog as an outlet. Things have definitely gotten more active here, especially with all the Rp events! So here’s to 2023 being even better!
if you wanna see More behind the scenes you can do so with any donation amount. :>
Lil donations really help me out and supporters will get access to the demo and playable files early ~ 🐢🍕
Things I will write for. I'm just starting here so if someone could give me a request, I don't have any ideas at the moment.
I also do non-fandom writes. Just ask I may have one you like, please tell me which kind. (Ex: romance, drama, fantasy, etc.) Yes, I do love triangles for either, if it's not Fandom, I do need characters like OCs or any Fandom characters(they will be slightly different to fix the themes/times)

that being said, i may have 18+ posts in my likes, so i recommend minors turn off the setting that puts peoples likes on your dash! 😅 I really wish i could turn this off somehow, and am considering other solutions at the moment.
