Abstract

Rainbow Connection is a short demo of a visual novel/dating sim that revolves around the six main colors of the color spectrum, ROYGBV. In it, some subtle themes will be explored such as body dysmorphia, transsexuality, imposter syndrome, loss of motivation, and finding beauty in life. The tone of the game will be similar to that of existing games in the genre such as Mystic Messenger, The Arcana, or Dream Daddy – in the sense that there will be some heavy topics and will not always stay lighthearted, but will for the most part stay in the realm of PG-13. The goal with this visual novel is to produce more dating sims with a wider range of diversity and with a storyline and characters that make the player feel seen. Most of the dating aspects will be kept within a PG-13 rating as well, opting out of anything explicit beyond implications. For the completion of the project, there will be one good ending and one bad ending for each of the six main characters, one CG (computer graphic) for each ending, as well as sounds, voice acting, music, and interactive gameplay.
