If you can believe it, Date Everything is currently celebrating its first anniversary, and to mark the occasion, Team17 and Sassy Chap Games have released a new update to give players “the ultimate Date Everything experience”.
The ‘Self Care Update’ is rolling out on Switch today, addressing a bunch of community-flagged issues and feature requests that the dev has received in the last year. This includes a bunch of neat tweaks like player pronoun changes, new voice lines, a clearer HUD for screenshots and more. There have also been some changes based on sensitivity feedback from players, so the virtual dating can be as comfortable and welcoming as it was intended to be.
For those who missed this one on release, Date Everything is a sandbox dating sim where you can date… everything. Inanimate objects? Dateable. Existential concepts? Dateable. In-game bugs and glitches? Dateable. The best part is that all of these hopeless romantics are voiced by some of the biggest names in the VA biz, with Troy Baker, Matt Mercer, Ali Hillis, Ben Starr (and just about everyone else you can think of) on board.
Here’s a rundown of all the changes included in this update, provided by Team17:
-
Content Aware Support for Hector, Friar Errol, and Farya
-
Updated Content Aware Descriptions: Based on player feedback, each existing Content Aware has additional detail and updated language
-
Subtitles for Songs and Musical Pieces for Hearing-Impaired: Miranda, Bodhi, and Keyes will display lyrics and descriptions during their most musical moments.
-
Curt and Rod Player Pronouns: We brought in Davied and Jacquis into the studio for new lines that address the player with correct pronouns!
-
Daisuke/Gaia Interaction: We brought Daisuke (Tsuji) into the studio for special Traveller dialogue with Gaia!
-
Community Sourced Sensitivity Feedback These are almost too numerous to name, but we thank players for giving us the feedback to make these changes for better player character options!
-
More sensitive player choices in general for: Farya, Arma, I, Ronaldini, Freddy, Mitchell, Maggie, Scandalabra, Stefan, Stepford, Teddy, and Zoey
