Our romance story begins with Anders Howard. There comes a point in life when it’s time to settle down and get married. But how do you go about it? Well, Howard had the most awesome idea.
There have already been a few proposals through video games, like Chrono Trigger and Super Mario Bros. But this is the first time I’ve heard about somebody making the game from scratch.
After gathering a few friends (Jeff Aydelotte, programmer; Thomas Bennet Jobling, animation; Justin Fong, character rig; Ian Buczkowski, sound), they started the process of making a food-based game for Howard’s love, Steffany. When it was completed, Howard asked her to test it.
It only takes about three minutes to beat, and Steffany managed to get to the end without any problems. The game itself involves a character that looks like Steffany walking around a city collecting food and booze. As it progresses, a character looking like Howard shows up and helps collect food. Toward the end, the girl gets a bouquet of flowers, love letters, and, of course, a ring. If you are interested, you can play the whole game here. And if it doesn’t sound cute enough, you can watch it instead.

Lucky for Howard, she agreed to the marry him. Congratulations, and good luck to the couple. Sigh, where can I find a boyfriend as clever as this?
