Talk:Otome game

The old GxB article.
The old GxB article have a lot of information before it was merged with the Dating Sims article. Perhaps we should use them in this article as well. I'm not a specialist in this field however, so I hope some of you will pick them up and incorporate it so all is not lost. - DTRY 22:17, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks for the link - when I created this page it was because the old GxB was gone (I was originally going to add to it), and I didn't think to get an archived copy of GxB. I will work on merging from it.Lijakaca 19:47, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

There have been commercial English otome games.
McKenzie & Co. and Girls' Club for CD-i were both English, commercially sold originals. Not on the 2007 market, but certainly worth noting.
 * Thanks for reminding me, I will add them.Lijakaca 19:46, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Seduce Me Otome?
Michaela Laws (Seraphim Entertainment) wrote Seduce Me Otome; it seems to be quite the hit. There are nearly 1,000 reviews on Steam, overwhelmingly positive (one of them being from me, as well). She managed to raise just under US$20,000 for the sequel, SM2:Demon War, on Kickstarter. Would this meet the notability standard for independent otome games? I personally adore it, and I'm a $20 contributor to the SM2 Kickstarter. I'm a bit biased, so I'm asking here. An aside: I love otome games with GxG options. :D Morgan Phoenix (talk) 10:15, 3 January 2016 (UTC)


 * I'd say it definitely counts: in addition to Steam, "Seduce Me" has 13 pages of comments on Lemma Soft Forums. Hmmm, someone seems to have added the game under "notable commercial games" even though it's always been free.  (Maybe they put it there because the sequel is commercial?)  I'll scoot it down.

 * Notability on Wikipedia is established by reliable sources which are independent of the topic. Forum posts are not reliable. I cleaned up this list back in 2015, but the number of unsourced redlinks has crept back up. Reliable sources should be found for all entries. Grayfell (talk) 05:35, 6 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks so much for the link! I knew there should be definition info somewhere, but when I didn't see it from the About Wikipedia page I wasn't sure how to go about looking. Alianoraree (talk) 08:09, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
 * No problem, it is kinda buried. Notability is one of those things editors have widely differing opinions on, but WP:GNG is the starting point. Write the article first is an essay (not a policy) which may also be of interest. Grayfell (talk) 08:52, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
