[MBIC Audio] February 2025 - Body Pillow Dating Sim Brainstorm
🕑 Added 2025-04-15 17:30:03 +0000 UTCThe Dad Crew decided it might be fun to think about designing a game, and they recorded themselves brainstorming what that game could be.
The Dad Crew randomly decided it might be fun to think about designing a game, so they sat down and recorded themselves brainstorming what that game could be. Now, this isn't a guarantee that they're ACTUALLY going to make a game -- life stuff happens and games are notoriously hard to make. But even if there doesn't end up being an actual playable Daddies Body Pillow Dating Sim, we still think this hourlong brainstorm is an entertaining listen.

Another idea, the body pillow is a free gift of yhe character that Taylor's mom voices so the drama comes from Taylor struggling with the fact his mom voices it
Blake Perryman
Words cannot describe just how in my neurodivergent lane this patreon is when you guys bounce ideas around for this long.
Vincent Ortiz
The answer to the pillow talking in the players head is cutting away every hour of gameplay or so to an observer wondering why the player is talking to a pillow
OtterofLore
cant believe im listening to this multiple months late. i wish this would come to life. has anyone modeled these pillows yet? I need to know. i will make a mockup in 10 minutes if you dont have one.
Adam Parker
One way the personality issue could be solved is by having it still in the main characters head but also as actual dialogue to the player. This still allows for the moments of "Sir why are you talking to a pillow" but let's them have personality. It also opens up the root of he finally meets someone else who comes into the shop that can hear them which then leads to further hijinks
Lexi SanDiego
this was like an episode of story break ❤️
Alyssa Mendonca
Duuuuude Karina from Drawfee on YouTube would be absolutely perfect for this project 👏👏👏 This will probably be my “ what if?” But damn I feel like her art and style would be great for this idea. ❤️
Craig Beshears
If you do decide to have voice acting then they should all share the same voice actor Let it be a pre teen boy voice doing unique female impressions for each body pillows
Kat Futoransky
this needs to happen PLEASE
Nic Emestica
I dont not own, nor do I know what a steam deck is. But if yall make this and add the washing machine physics i will buy two just so i can do online laundry
Reem
If this is made, please call the furry one Sniper Wolf but actually make it a wolf furry 😂 I feel like the anime character ones should also be obvious off brand versions: Guko instead of Goku, Princess Moon instead of Sailor Moon etc and just have their appearance just close enough so they are copyright free lol
Jaeonnie Davis-Crawford
Close enough, welcome back Story Break
W!CK
Rat shaker is hilarious and spooky
Tony Loch
The daddies group playing dream daddy would be hysterical
Noelle Bartley
Once a year I peruse r/waifuism, it’s fascinating
Moon
Please play Dream daddy the game 😭
Tacos4me
Of course the 69th is a body pillow simulator 🤣
Keith Rodriguez
There should be a pillow that features Elliot Salem on one side and Tyson Rios on the other
Kit Schmunk
I feel like for a MBIC, they should do the Dream Daddy dating simulator. It’d be a great educational experience.
logan jilek
This is Dog Shooter: Cop Simulator
Naught Joe
Does anyone know a good place to submit art/an application for this project?
Emily Beaman
You should call this game "pillow talk", also at least one of the pillows should be of an off brand Blue Lock boy who you impress by getting so good at soccer you end up winning the world cup. Sometimes you gotta become a sports superstar to impress your imaginary pillow husband.
Charleen Lamphere
What if, when you complete a story arch, during the end credits, you see how the story went through the body pillow's eyes. 🤣
AlexDooMind
I think the haunted body pillow should be haunted by an actual ghost of a human. But the bad ending is freeing the spirit. Once it happens, the player does. Not. Get. A. Choice. Otherwise. ..the mc loses all interest. Like, they just liked the body pillow. Rip. And rip.
Rob Ashby
Me downloading the body pillow dating sim: Why the fuck is this visual novel 110gb??
Freddy Chong
"It's not as bad as you think, although sometimes it is" is the best line of 2025
Connor Burtis
There miiiiiight be a supportive step father body pillow rendering waiting in the Dungeons and Daddies Instagram DM's....
Jack Baggerley
FACEOFF… but it’s body pillow covers
corbett hankins
Oh shit the SC burn at the end is 😚
Anthony Burch
No. It’s what’s inside that counts, too. -anthony
Matt Bond
Shut up and take my money
ShannyKrik
Or Umbrella academy
ShannyKrik
This is awesome
DungeonBrat
OK, so I’m only like maybe 20 minutes into this, so I don’t know if it’s coming yet or if it might come up later, but I have to type this now in case I forget. It feels really necessary, I personally think, every single body pillow cover that you can romance should be removed from the pillow and replaced with another one if you want to romance somebody else or speak to somebody else. Like, it’s one pillow, but different covers.
Danielle English
I would buy the absolute shit out of this game. I have like 65 dating Sims. They are very popular.
Cail Evans
Honestly surprised one of the stories they didn't come up with was "The 3 Body pillow Problem"
Cassie Muldrow
I am willing to voice act for free! This is great!
Thorn Wiese
Soooo Kickstarter ?????
starlightmeg
This has crazy storybreak energy. Incredible.
Garrett Durham
If they end up doing “Taylor” and have Freddie voice it he should also do impressions of each body pillow’s voice and as you get closer with the pillow the voice melds into the voice of an actual voice actor who is playing the part.
Darryl Holiday II
Outback sucks. I hate the way they spice their steaks and stuff.
Darryl Holiday II
Freddy. As I've told the fiance a billion times now. Blooming Onions suck.
Hez
omg back in 2020 i played around in renpy with making a "dating sim" for dndads set around the bdsm episode. i never finished it because it was just for funsies and frankly didn't feel like making a ton of illustrations (lazy) but maybe I should revisit it since the scripting was already done
Darryl Holiday II
And super fucking funny
Robert schmeltz
If this doesn't actually happen I'm just gonna give up on my game making dreams.
Jack Baggerley
The body pillow should be played by Rob Schneider
Zack Giovannoni
Pitch: The body pillow was the pillow used to smother someone to death.
Darryl Holiday II
This conceit is so fucking good.
BreakfastWitch
I would pay millions to watch them play the Class of 09 ‘dating simulator’
Max Wilson
Body Pillow Dating Sim turns into Washing Machine Repair Technician Simulator 2025
DemiSniperr
if u guys are looking for some1 to help make an OST in a cutesy dating sim style my email is prodglory3nd@outlook.com i can provide u guys with snippets of what im capable of !
Randi and Christian
I think you're missing out on a opportunity with the washing machines where the body pillows don't want to be washed but as it gets dirtier you start getting worse and worse dialogue options so it's between making them mad at you or you lose interest
Anthony Monachino
Pretty that's called Date Anything! Or something close to that
Alyssa
The way I'd buy this in a fucking heartbeat 😂
Mary Kelley
when i was like 12 i had a one direction body pillow and it was straight up a horizontal posted body pillow and i cherished it and didn’t sleep with it to keep it pristine and one day my dad stole it and used it folded up as a regular pillow and his man stink ruined it in one night (i was later diagnosed with OCD (and gay))
Leo Hall
is that the scam tone?
Andrea Rosado Quiñones
Also there’s a game now where you can romance anything in your house, I can’t remember what it’s called
Eric Willey
Kind of dissapointed that at 38:55 Matt uses the example "Her" when 1987's cult classic "Mannequin" about a man falling in love with a mannequin who comes to life was right there.
Andrea Rosado Quiñones
They need to read the smut novels with the sentient door and sentient fork
PuppyCrusher
I would buy this game. Do we have a release date?
Hunter Lewis
The washing mini game is a test to make sure you have been paying attention to the pillow. It would have been delivering washing instructions from its tag.
Marlin23156
Am I the only one who thought of Big Mouth when they started the “pillow talk” (I had to make the pun.)
Allyssa Chatwin
I would kill for a Dungeons and daddies season 2 Taylor body pillow dating him Like omg
Corkboard Podcast Network
God this makes me miss Story Break. Please do some Story Break specials with everybody soon, having Beth and Anthony is the fresh heat the show needed. #Storybreak
Jeffrey Nickell
The real reason to model every part inside is so when the washing machine breaks down, you can read the manual (included) or watch youtube videos, and take it apart to fix it.
Invader Jimm
This is a solid disposable game to waste a weekend on 🤣
Phoenix Vizva’i
I’m a dev, I could make it happen!! Hmu lol 🥰✌️ Edit: resumé if you do actually want to hmu lol! http://vizvai.com/
Xyta Midnyte
Oooooooooo! That would be cool af! Though I guess they'd all have to play a game themselves, or vote for one of the dads and then group play a character??? THE POSSIBILITIES!!!
Erick Contreras
Games I immediately think of when we talk about 3D modeling: Placid Plastic Duck Simulator OnlyCans: Thirst Date Absolutely check these out if you thought this gamestorming session was as good as I did!
Xyta Midnyte
Yup. Unhinged. As I suspected. But now... I'm wondering if my next VO goal needs to be 'voice a daft body pillow game.' Wonderful guys, truly wonderful. And yeah... for the record... I'd play the shit out of that game. ;-)
Zac Ethington
Be nice to Beth!
Andrew G
Amazing. Like a story break with everyone 🥲
ChamorroJesus671
Beth... Please shut up about sexism. It's so fckn dumb.
Ken
You could instead of the pillow just not talking or in your head it could be more like: You - "dialogue" and then You (as pillow) - "dialogue." then the scenes would be funnier and weirder if it's you and then you pretending to be the pillow with a voice.
Galaxy Croissant
Art style idea: all humans are basic ass anime style and the body pillows are real life photos of cosplayers
TheAnntagonist
Manifesting an MBIC where the cast plays Dream Daddy as their season 1 dads!
starcatmoondog
give me a month to learn coding and a $50 gift card and i can make this video game happen 🙏
Aaron Lisle (Lyle) Williamson
This feels like Story Break in a fantastic way
Griffin Miller
I’ve been working a bunch in Blender and highkey wanna try and model a washing machine and pillow I’d be open to giving it a shot
Max Wilson
Or, “That Time I Got Reincarnated As An Anime Body Pillow In Another World But All My Skills Are Rank SSS” you’re completely inanimate but you always find yourself in crazy adventurer situations and have to save a kingdom from destruction. 🤣🤦🏻♂️
Cody Moriah
Thanks to Beth, Google searches for Jar Jar Twinks will skyrocket. Edit (so I don't double comment): I do not stream, but my girlfriend used to, and therefore has all the equipment. The possibilities are overwhelming. I will put all 21 of my youtube subscribers onto this game if you make it. Please please please please please-
DMAN
Oh neat, you pulled the corpse of Storybreak out of the ground after a 3 year slumber, and added what it always needed: someone who didnt know shit-all about movies. Beth May being brand new to gaming is an incredibe addition
Zucchini
Nice

Joseph Richardson
It's like Story Break is back! It's been a Great listen so far
James Stewart
This is, fittingly, the 69th MBIC (according to tags)
Max Wilson
What if, there’s a super hard mode. But depending on how you treated the pillow, like no PG-13+ stuff, and after an arduous story mode, the pillow comes to life, but with them having full knowledge of what you talked about and did with them, they react accordingly. So if you were ecchi with it, they’d be disgusted. Whatever the script plot line asked of you.
Octavia MacIsaac
This reminds me of the show big mouth 😂
Juan sandoval
There are body pillows with holes to insert flesh lights into to take the relationship with the body pillow to the next level
Lienisaur
Need an animator to help make it? 👀👀
Seirra Gary
Not a dating sim, but it's there.
Seirra Gary
Hades let's you have a poly relationship.
Matt Sansweet
Can’t wait for their GOTY acceptance speech
Teagan Turner
It really sounds not that hard to make! Unreal engine tho!
QuidditchCapn10
Love this as a visual novel!!!!
QuidditchCapn10
The pillow should be a real pillow. But then when you interact with the pillow she is how Taylor sees it 😂 so when no one is around the pillow is "real" but if anyone else sees it the pillow is just a pillow. Cut from photorealistic pillow to Anime girl would be so funny
Morgan
I HAVE to see Matt and Freddy play Hatoful Boyfriend
Thorn Wiese
Freddy needs to check out anime shop simulator from the same creator as tavern manager simulator
Christopher Anselmi
I really respect when creators find an audience that let's them do exactly what they want to do. That being said, ya'll are wild for this. Can't wait.
OvercaffeinatedPsycho
Oooo it’s fresh
Octavia MacIsaac
Yay this is my happy place 😊
Xyta Midnyte
Sounds INSANE. Can't wait to listen to find out how much so. 🥰
NekoKashu
OH MY GOSH PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN
kenz b
Y’all always know when my work day needs a little something 🩵😌
Zo Perry
