FW Editor: My Virtual Girlfriend looks like a combination between a dating website and a sim game (like The Sims). What inspired you in developing My Virtual Girlfriend?
mike Amerson: I was actually inspired by igirl. I seen that in the app store one day and thought to myself, we can do much better than that. It is a simple novetly app with 3d models that don't do anything. Why not add some gameplay functionality and interaction? Instead of having 1 girl that switches outfits, why not hundreds of girls? We do this on pc and console games all the time. So the juices started flowing and i kicked out a design document within 2 weeks. I presented it to my partner and he loved the idea so we put the plan in motion.

FW Editor: Can a player actually 'lose' in My Virtual Girlfriend? If yes, what happens then? He must restart the entire game?
mike Amerson: Yes. if a player does something the girl doesn't like, respond incorrectly to her statement or do an activity she doesnt enjoy - he loses points with her. There are some indications of this. The heart meter on the right and the girls mood goes down. She gets upset, her posture is slumped, her dialoge becomes sad or sarcastic. If the player stays in this type of funk with the girl long enough she will leave him. At which point he will have to start the game over with a new girl via the matchmaking process.
