Welcome to the development thread for Happy Ending Tale!
Overview
Overview
Happy Ending Tale is a Visual Novel (VN) that blends elements of a Dating Sim with light RPG mechanics. This means that besides immersing yourself in a well-crafted narrative, you'll be able to win the hearts of the heroines, develop your own skills, and make meaningful choices that truly impact the game's outcome.
Want a practical example? The game features a massage minigame to increase affection with Hina, one of the heroines. Her dialogue during the minigame changes dynamically based on her affection and lust levels for you.
- Example 1: With Affection at Level 2 (Warming Up) and Lust at Level 1 (Pleased), she says:
- Example 2: With the same action, but at Affection Level 4 (Affectionate), the line changes to:
A core feature you'll engage with often is the massage system. It serves a dual purpose: it’s the primary way you'll enhance your healing abilities and, more importantly, how you'll break down the heroines' barriers. My goal is to create a slow burn, where you'll see them gradually surrender to your touch. They'll start insinuating themselves more, adopting seductive poses, and 'accidentally' wearing more revealing outfits, making their growing desire for you unmistakably clear.
Story
The story is set in a high-fantasy world, filled with dragons, fairies, elves, succubi, and demons. You are a novice healer searching for a master to hone your skills. Your journey leads you to the Sleepy Dragon Inn, but upon arrival, you discover that the master you were seeking has passed away.
It's there that you meet Hina, a shy and lonely girl struggling to take care of the inn she inherited from her father. She will be your gateway to new adventures, opportunities, and... other things. The initial conflict revolves around your quest for growth and Hina's struggle to survive the approaching harsh winter. Also, there are two major plot twists planned for the main story!
Characters
I have planned four captivating heroines for this journey, but this is not written in stone:
- Hina: The innkeeper. A kind and shy human with a huge heart.
- Ruby: A lewd and insatiable succubus who promises to push your desires to the limit.
- Seraphine: An arrogant and tsundere elven mage, determined to become one of the greatest mages the world has ever seen.
- Lia: A bold, cheerful, and uninhibited merchant who always brings the latest news from the big city to the inn. (Race to be determined, I'm leaning towards Nekomimi or Usagimimi).
Roadmap
I started working on this project in April 2025, with more concrete progress emerging in May. By June, I already had a playable internal test version.
