10. Moove: 3D Chat and Dating

Moove is a German virtual world that aims to provide smooth and interactive 3D avatar chatting and dating simulation.

Unlike some other virtual worlds, it isn't based on a world itself, but it works more on a 'room basis'—think habbo hotel style—you walk room to room and interact inside those rooms.

So, it works a bit like a chat room with a 3D engine powering up your virtual depiction of yourself.

Your rooms and land are free, and you can even decorate them offline!

9. A World of My Own: An SL Alternative?

Sir Richard Branson created AWOMO (A World of My Own) to try to knock SL off from its undisputed leadership post.

Virgin Games also own 20% of this venture, so you should definitely lay an eye on this one.

The graphics are sweet and well worked on, and the features should be nice too—I say should because I haven't had the chance to try it yet—will do soon!

8. HiPiHi: Censored

Granted that its graphics are not something awesome and otherworldly, but it's made in China, and we all know that 'Made In China' quickly propagates.

China's government will probably censor it a bit, but it's a platform that will quickly grow due to its local popularity.

Overall, it resembles a poorly executed Second Life, but it isn't as expensive to work with.

7. Meet Me: The Japanese Wonder

Why a wonder? The Japanese game's graphics KILL Second Life!

The good thing is that social interactions are encouraged, and people can't fly or teleport, so they have to take public transports or walk—which encourages interactions too.

The bad thing? You have to take care because 'profanities' will get you banned... so, be a good boy/girl.

6. Kaneva: 2D and 3D

Kaneva is quickly gaining popularity—and why is that?

Well, for starters, it's a good social and dating sim, so this alone makes it a good pick for all kinds of people. Next up, we got some perks that Second Life and other platforms would never think about giving you.

You can have a free house, for instance... isn't that neat? In Second Life, you have to pay around six bucks a week or get a premium account!

If you're looking for a cheaper SL alternative, look no further.

5. Utherverse: 3D Dating and Adult Rated

What can I say about Utherverse? Well, it's netting out more than $10 million in revenue, so it's pretty big.

The most popular place in Utherverse is the RedLight Center (yeah, based on the Red Light District in Amsterdam).

This game is as close to a dating service as could be, and it's rated Adult.

4. Blue Mars: Created on CryEngine

$30 a month... no, it's not the price of the game or the price of a house... it's the price of a whole city!

This sure is a plus! The virtual world is created using CryTek software, and it's pretty smooth with all its outside widget integration, like flash.

Another interesting point? SL staff is starting to defect to their ranks; how will this play out?

3. IMVU:The Fastest-Growing Runner-up

IMVU is all about chatting and building relationships, so It's on the third spot of my online dating sim worlds list.

It's growing fast, and one could argue that's a virtual world—it's more like a chat client! You can create content there too and earn money—plus, you earn some free credits when you register.

Try it out, and make your own conclusions!

2. Sony Playstation Home: In the MMORPG Category

It promises to be the biggest competitor of Second Life, and it is pretty similar.

Now, let me be pretty blunt about it:

If You Are a Woman: This will be the best place for you; there are lots of interesting and smart guys out here, and there are not as many pervs and creeps as on SL. The graphics are way better than Second Life, and as this world is young, it will keep getting better!

If You Are a Man: Basically, get out. It's for PS3, so there are almost no women there. Not many girls have a PS3 or like to spend their time there; it's bad news, but oh, well... there are not enough ladies out there.

1. Second Life: The Leader!

Dating

It's the leader—it has got graphics, variety, content, and numbers!

This is the place to date and find love online. You'll definitely have a good time with this one—there are areas rated as general, mature, and adult, and you can virtually do whatever you want!

It allows you to earn money, too, as Second Life currency is easily converted to USD.

I advise you to try it... who knows; maybe your soul mate is there!

Conclusion on Virtual Love

Dating Sim Games Pc Free

So, to sum up, there are a lot of options when it comes to online worlds and dating sims.

Why did I pick virtual worlds for my top 10 dating sims list? Well, because even though there are awesome single-player dating sims out there, you don't want to flirt with a machine, now do you?

Virtual worlds are a plus because you will interact with real people and guys—Second Life has more women than men, so take a peek there.

Any doubts about any of this? Leave me a comment.

Cheers and good gaming!

Dating sims, or romance simulation games (恋愛シミュレーションゲーム, ren'ai shimyurēshon gēmu), are video game subgenre of simulation games with romantic elements.

Dating sims are often dialog-heavy and focus on time management. The player must befriend and carefully build and maintain a relationship with one or more characters.[1] The gameplay is largely dependent on statistics.[2] These games also often involve raising stats that reflect the player's skills and can be combined with other genres. Series such as Sakura Wars and Persona combine RPG gameplay with dating sim gameplay.[1]

The term 'dating sim' is also sometimes used incorrectly in English as a generic term for romance-driven games (恋愛ゲーム, ren'ai games), especially visual novels focused on romance.[3] This can lead to confusion, as visual novels are considered a subgenre of adventure games and are not included in the dating sim genre. While the two genres often share a common visual presentation, dating sims are considered to be more statistically based, whereas visual novels focus on telling a branching story.[2]

History[edit]

The first game that set the standard for the dating sim genre was Dōkyūsei (1992), which relied more on timed events than dialogue choices. However, Tokimeki Memorial (1994) truly popularized dating sims in Japan, in which the player, a high school student has the ability to date a dozen different girls.[4] Games such as Sakura Wars and Persona are RPGs with dating sim elements.

Characteristics[edit]

Screenshot from the original PC Engine version of Tokimeki Memorial illustrating the complex system of statistics standard of the genre.

In a typical dating sim, the player controls a male avatar surrounded by female characters. The gameplay involves conversing with a selection of girls, attempting to increase their internal 'love meter' through correct choices of dialogue. The game lasts for a fixed period of game time, such as one month or three years. When the game ends, the player either loses the game if he failed to properly win over any of the girls, or 'finishes' one of the girls, often by having sex with her, marrying her (as in Magical Date), and/or achieving eternal love. This gives the games more replay value, since the player can focus on a different girl each time, trying to get a different ending.

Dating sims often revolve almost entirely around relationship-building, usually featuring complex character interactions and branching dialogue trees, and often presenting the player's possible responses word-for-word as the player character would say them. Dating sims such as Tokimeki Memorial, and some role-playing games with similar relationship based mechanics to the genre such as Persona, often give choices that have a different number of associated 'mood points' which influence a player character's relationship and future conversations with a non-player character. These games often feature a day-night cycle with a time scheduling system that provides context and relevance to character interactions, allowing players to choose when and if to interact with certain characters, which in turn influences their responses during later conversations.[5]

While bishōjo games make up the bulk of dating sims, other types of games exist. Games where the player character is female and potential objects of affection are male are known as GxB or otome games. Homosexual relationships are also possible, as there are games with no specific gender lines ('all pairings'). There are also Girls' Love games, which focus on female/female relationships, and Boys' Love games, which focus on male/male pairings.

There are many variations on this theme: high-school romances are the most common, but a dating sim may also take place in a fantasy setting and involve such challenges as defending one's girl from monsters.

One game series that often includes dating, with the goal of marriage, is the farming sim series Harvest Moon. The subplot of dating is more focused towards choosing one of several girls or guys (dependent on the player character's gender) and offering them presents or joining them on events in the game. The Star Ocean series of RPGs also feature dating sim elements in a similar manner.

Some Japanese dating sims may allow the player to have romantic or sexual relationships with characters in their teens.[citation needed] The degree of sexual content varies, but may often include intercourse. Sexually explicit dating sims may fall into the category of H Game or Eroge. Eroge only gets released to PC because large Japanese game companies do not want to release games with sexual content on their game consoles. Because of this, Eroge companies make a censored all-ages (15+) version of the PC version for various consoles. Censored versions often contain additional endings and added scenes to compensate for the absence of sexual scenes.[citation needed]
