Otome template
One route, three choices, two endings, aimed at one relationship. Hakuoki (Idea Factory, 2008) is a chart of those routes. Code: Realize (Otomate, 2014) is the version where the route is also a mystery you finish before you open the next person. Write one ending that is not the good one. The AI dating sim maker is the relationship. The AI visual novel maker is the route structure under it.

What makes an otome
Otome: a romance-focused story written for a female protagonist, with several love interests.
The games that set the standard are Hakuoki (Idea Factory, 2008), Code: Realize (Otomate, 2014) and Amnesia: Memories (Idea Factory, 2011).
What the template starts with
The otome template starts with one route with three choices and two endings. That is the smallest version of the loop that defines the genre: read, choose, follow one route to its ending.
What to change first
Finish the bitter ending before the sweet one. If you cannot bear to write it, the sweet ending has nothing to stand against.
2D or 3D
