Spotted by Eurogamer, one of the Bungie developers recently responded to a request for a Destiny Dating Sim. Liana Ruppert, a developer on Destiny 2, revealed that a team had developed a version but received a "very Hard No" from leadership, as "nobody wanted romance or silliness." Ruppert added that this dating sim was "Very Dream Daddy inspired"

Once this story started picking up steam over social media, another developer chimed in, adding more context for the Destiny Dating Sim prototype. Robert Brookes reveals that this dating sim was actually made as part of an event Bungie held every year for their developers to create prototypes that could be pitched.

Believe it or not, there was a push for a Destiny dating sim at Bungie once, and it had a proper pitch deck and everything, but it never made it past that

Former Bungie staff have recalled some of the more inventive ideas that came out of internal game jam-like initiatives.

The absolute sad state of those cunts...

This conversation looks fishy to me

If Bungie would input a dating thing on Destiny 2, how could Sony stop them? I mean, one thing is adding some mechanics, another is turning into Second Life or whatever. Also, if Destiny 3 is in full development, how much of this would be implemented?

I can see they're in a meeting, and a dev is pitching a dating thing, and like any other normal meeting ever they can say yes or no to a pitch

I read the topic title and knew what this would be. Thankfully all confirmed in the op, nothing more to discuss I guess.

Those are the devs whose losses we are supposed to regret. Sure, buddy. Bye.

LOOK EVERYBODY HOMOSEXUALITY!
QUEER!!!

LET US TELL YOU ABOUT SODOMYYYYYYYY

 

[AJUMP23]

Management was right to shut this down.

"Hey guys we want you to make guns and graphics, not romance novels."

What the fuck is Dream Daddy?

What the fuck is Dream Daddy?

Nobody fucking knows what those cunts are on about

 

[Witchilich]

Just implement player marriage like FF XIV. Make it a proper MMO.

 

[kpopSuperstar]

What the fuck is Dream Daddy?

Gay dating sim with daddies.

 

[Flabagast]

Fire them all

 

[Fabieter]

Would probably sell better than Marathon tbh.

 

[Nankatsu]

I'm sure Hulst would allow it if this was pitched to him and set within the Horizon universe instead.

 

[Negotiator101]

It's over.

 

[KyoZz]

Are you really surprised?

 

[Sticks]

What the fuck is Dream Daddy?

Freddy Krueger

 

[proandrad]

The creators of that idea were likely responsible for the inclusion of the Osiris and Saint-14 gay romance in a game centered around undead zombies battling aliens wielding magical abilities.

Freddy Krueger

Just for comparision, thats what oldschool bungie was capable of, on x360:

Even Jason Schreier's voice would turn into proper manly one if he just watched that trailer even once

 

[Zacfoldor]

Why do dream daddy when they could have just as easily done a Date Everything.

Gay dating sim with daddies.

Exactly….what a bunch of weirdos.

 

[Moriarty1889]

Are you really surprised?

That is representative of the majority of the devs over at Bungie sadly. Bunch of weirdos.

This post explains the post GG world of game devs and their competence more than perhaps any I have seen

 

[Embearded]

I would like to know the cost of wasting 1 week in the year on silly internal projects.

I will not even touch the "Dream Daddy" thing. Totally mental.

Also, there is no way they only worked on that during that week and they had a working prototype. Sony needs to clean house asap. They are burning money with Bungie.

 

[Puscifer]

There was only one Daddy in Dream Daddy and it was annoying as fuck. Thank God it was cancelled.

 

[GymWolf]

In hindsight it was probably gonna be a more succesful product than marathon...

Slaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
