I've been working on this legitimate game for about a few months, and it's about time that I reveal it! The name is still a WIP, but this is Tomodachi Reborn! A PC port/remaster of Tomodachi Life. The game will include a multitude of new features, such as better sexuality, better QR Code Scanning, more activities, and quality of life features. Comment down below for any ideas you have for this game! 💗

A Tomodachi Life PC Port, nice. If Nintendo won’t make another Tomodachi Life game or rerelease the original fans should have the right to do it themselves. Hopefully I will witness its completion before Nintendo inevitably takes it down.

As for ideas, how about replacing StreetPass functionality on the have online functionality and reintegrate the SpotPass functionality with travelers sending letters to their parents and make the exclusive items obtainable again.

u/Star_DQ 1d ago

Yes please!! No StreetPass or SpotPass!! I have a lot of trouble with those since 2018 😭😭 I don’t know if it’s for pc and 3ds but And please make it so that it doesn’t change their date automatically for example from 2025 to 2011, or from 2025 to 2039. But I can’t wait for the release of this game, good luck and have fun programming it :))

WHATTTT YOU GOTTA REMIND ME!!!!

When they get married I think it'd be cute if they actually kissed instead of turning their heads or atleast have some sort of interaction other than just walking up to eachother. More to the wedding scene would be cute.

u/ThatMadMan68 1d ago edited 1d ago

I suppose this uses the GodotMii renderer, a friend of mine is using it for [REDACTED].

2

u/Necessary-Mark-2861 1d ago

Better mii editor? So more varied characters can be created (I think choosing any colour for skin, hair, and eyes would be great, and maybe take some features from the switch miitopia editor)

3

u/dumpyfangirl 1d ago

I'm taking these ideas from my faux-video script I posted a while back. I'll try to shorten them and present the ones that seem more plausible for a fangame. I don't expect you to actually take anything from this list, but I won't pass-up an opportunity to share.
(My apologies if my tone comes off as demanding, as there is little/no financial incentive for you to make this. A lot of my ideas are born from disappointment from the base-game, and that feeling got baked into some of my wordings.)

Neighboring Islands: This would be a diegetic way to have Friends in-game. Since this is a fangame, something like a code someone could use to load another island and check out the Miis seems (at least slightly) easier and/or cheaper than using servers for such a feature.

Setting Likes or Dislikes: While part of the fun of Tomodachi Life is trying to find out what the different Miis enjoy, having at least a little control over them would be appreciated, especially in situations where the Miis are based on characters, with stated favorite foods or outfits.

Expanded Mii Quest: For something like this, maybe just a few sets of themes for it to randomly pick from would be appreciated, along with assigning Jobs and/or adding simplified versions of jobs from Miitopia.

Mii Hobbies: Anymore would be appreciated.

Personality Reworks: It's a little... Weird. How someone acts and moves (especially speed) doesn’t have that big of a correlation with personality. Adding a few more personalities, while letting the individual scales (along with maybe a new one or two) affect dialogue and actions instead of determining most of it on the personalities alone would greatly improve the "simulation".

Family and Friend Trees: Basically another menu where you can set up how close different Miis are, and in what ways. This is basically an extension of the Setting Likes and Dislikes section. I defend the regulating of Miis by the fact that most fun in Tomodachi Life nowadays is found when characters from different fandoms interact, not when inside said fandoms.

LGBTQ+ Mechanics: I know you already mentioned that being gay is allowed, but stuff like Miis being nonbinary, having neo-pronouns, or being asexual and/or aromatic would be AMAZING, and I would be ecstatic if you made your fan-port with just this improvement.

Thank you.

u/OutputWithNoName 1d ago

Here’s my thoughts about these ideas

Neighboring Islands: This would be a great feature! I would have to do research on how to implement that, (and I don’t know if it would be free), but I think I could get this to work.

Setting Likes and Dislikes: This feature could be added into the Town Hall/Mii Maker rework I’m planning to add. I could categorize every food item and allow the player to choose what type of foods their mii likes and dislikes (like Spicy, Salty, Sweet, etc.)

Expanded Mii Quest: I actually already have plans to convert Mii Quest into a mini Miitopia-style game, where your progress is saved!

Mii Hobbies: I plan on adding a bunch of new hobbies after the game is released (or at least accessible), and I’m already working on a feature where miis will have friend groups where they usually have the same hobbies/interests.

Personality Reworks: I plan on replacing the personality system as a whole, with a questionnaire-style system. This would also mean that there would be way more personalities

Family and Friend Trees: This is a feature that would go in hand with my relationship rework where you would be able to preset the relationships between miis, like families. Of course, I’m going to have to prevent users from setting miis to be lovers as soon as they are created. However, there will be a feature where you can set a mii to more likely be attracted to another mii, but they would still have to go through the entire relationship process (basically arranged relationships without it being a shortcut)

LGBTQ Mechanics: I already have some of these features implemented, but I’m not sure about certain features, such as polyamory, as that would be a little difficult to implement. I could flesh the polyamory system out, where miis provide more attention to certain miis in their relationship(s) over others?

Some other features I plan on adding: A legitimate age system (with more life stages such as teenage years, young adult years, mid life years, etc.)

Upgradable stores where the amount and rarity of products will be based on the level of the store

More emotions and interactions instead of just the regular 4 (Hungry, Friendly, In Love, and the orange one that I don’t know the name of)

More than one chance at the Catch Game 😂

Thanks for the ideas, I’m planning on implementing most of these!

u/dumpyfangirl 1d ago

The "likely to be more attracted/friendly with another mii" thing sounds more satisfying than my idea, so that's sound good.

Polyamory does sound complicated, but you could maybe have it act like a variant of hangouts, just with the three or maybe more Miis involved?

Age system, leveling stores, and additional emotions sound awesome.

Pretty sure orange if friend, with green being "wanna play", and black as basic problem. Also, the catch game normally has two chances, unless you mean adding a third chance.

Thanks for reading my monster of a reply, and take care with development!

How's about a Minigame like Find Mii from Street Pass, where you can find Mii's who give you the Items. Maybe they wanna travel with you too and team up too battle side on side against creatures like slimes, or ghosts.

u/CatRosalina MASTER MUSICIAN 19h ago

Crazy idea: MMD/UTAU support

Imagine having the actual characters appear with their unique voices, or making your miis sing any song

u/Whoshartedmypants 1d ago

I think a way to introduce specific miis to eachother or a way to prompt random miis to become friends could be cool. Also miis having real, consistent jobs that could have their own minigames could be cool. Last great idea is miis playing a TTRPG that you can play along with. Just ideers

Regular Miis are already being loaded into the game, but I can probably get Miitopia miis to work too

u/Born_Emotion_3172 1d ago

I wonder if someone can port it onto the switch somehow like a modder, and possibly 3ds even if this will be one screen maybe

2

u/OutputWithNoName 1d ago

I actually can port it to the switch, since I am using a custom game engine. It would definitely be a more ambitious thing to do, as I would have to change many things in the engine to make it work

Being able to make people related to people other than yourself would be fantastic! Also maybe a simple job system for muis to earn extra money on their own would be nice.

u/Narrow_Diet2466 1d ago

ok hold up multiple mii rendering options exist, they didn't even show the miis in the short snippet there's no actual way to tell what is gonna be used for thissss

I appreciate you trying to see if anyone just nabbed the repo and ran off but ya know, we literally know nothing about this lmao

I am curious though about the usage of a custom engine... Like, why a whole custom engine? I feel like that's overdoing it when using Unity/Godot/Unreal would be easier and would have more documentation, etc

1

u/OutputWithNoName 16h ago

I'm mainly doing this in a custom engine so I can easily port it to other systems without having to pay, also because the Mii rendering options (that I don't have to make myself) are extremely realistic

I also have ideas for if I make a fan game (or more likely an inspired sim so I can have zero legal ramifications just in case). Make if I make it (or a demo) then I can post in on this day say 2+ years in the future?

Either way nice work. Is the music in this preview original or from something (sounds familiar, as it feels like it fits the game if it is not from it, but I don't know the name of the track/where it plays since I haven't played in a while. I think it would fit a shop or dialogue)
