Can any of you former players/fans of AA/AA2 give me a TLDR of the game and its mechanics? and how it compares to Koikatsu for example...
I'm no expert but...
AA/AA2
tldr: Basically make your own School and its Students and enjoy the daily lives / activities of them during the process with the help of "AI". You can control anyone you want to play during that day as well. Game is known adjusting a lot of character traits and personalities in order to get the behaviour you want for all the characters you choose to send.
- You can control any character who's present in the school roster
- You can also be the teacher of a class
- Has a LOT more different character traits to adjust a personality of that character (like being a slave, an evil yandere or a schemer)
- Conversations can be succesvol depending on who you're talking to.
- You can make friends or enemies with eachother.
- Group activities
- Official Male Voices
- You can balance the Male/Female ratio of your class. You can also make it so that they are straight, bi or gay. Or have them loyal or unloyal with their partner(s).
- etc
KK
tldr: You play as a dude who's invited to study at a Girl only school and run his own school club. Compared to AA/AA2, This game has a LOT more tools for Character Creation (looks, body, clotches, etc) and has a big modding community.
- You can ONLY control your protagonist.
- There are Story related stuff present. A bit like a Light Novel like.
- Like mentioned, focuses a LOT more on having many options for Character Creation (do not be mistakes with Character Behaviour, traits, personality). The database of different characters and costume mods are gigantic.
- There is only 1 dude and the rest are Female students (unless there's a mod for it?)
- Characters (controlled by AI) compared to AA/AA2 are less likely to adjust themselves based on what happens everything outside of you talking with them. So you're the only one who can change how they feel, although it doesn't feel very notable compared to AA/AA2.
- No male voices.
- You can go on dates outside of your school (non-dlc). You can also attend more locations if you're with someone who you're in a relationship with. (DLC)
- Bunch of random stuff like that you can attend a (fake/real) wedding of you and your partner.
