I smell someone framing Takuya in Fran's route... How's my nose?

Not intentional, but there's always the unknown, isn't there?

Marrend, I finished Fran, and I like it so far. I do have one suggestion though. On the roof at the end, Masako says, "This case... I fear it will be as simplistic as you think it will." I think "won't" be might be a better way to phrase that. Not that I, by any means, should be correcting anyone else!

Derp! I fixed the Masako-line on my end to be, "This case... I fear it will not be as simplistic as you think it will be." Unless there's something else, however, I feel no need to update at this time.
ok that's cool i didn't know if you intended it to be optimistic or something else

Optimists are those with a tendency to always look on the bright side of life. *Whistles* Masako doesn't see the world through such a lens. She sees it through a lens of primarily logic, though her intuition always leads to the truth of matters.
if anyone wants to try to fix seira i give my full permission and consent and wave all credit to her i think i know how to fix her and will upload a more updated version when i get home if someone could beta test her to make sure there arent any errors and that all the stories line up i would appreciate it.
here she is can someone please test her i sm going to bed

DISCLAIMER:
She is a mayadere which means she is actively trying to kill you, and even here dere side is more tsun then dere. So if you do not want to watch the player get painful assassinated do not play. also there is strong language though I did try to stay away from the f bomb, oh and there are a few places where she wears a bikini. To recap VIOLENCE STRONG LANGUAGE and BIKINI.

Edit: I promise dozen an updated story as soon as i got home so here it is i am headed to bed

Hello again, artist thread!

I've been trying to try something (yet again) different, and Arika happened:


Hugs?

Arika, first high, is innocent, pure and wait no she's Hungarian, nevermind.


Got yer wallet!

(I really hope I won't get that much controversy for encouraging stereotypes...)

So anyway, since I'm nto so deeply invested in her, I might...hnngh... be able to...haerrr... release her without everything in it's place. Must not give in to perfectionism!

This is kinda both an "artistic" issue and a "technical" issue. Whatever. I'll just drop it.

With Fran, I've been thinking of playing with the "PICTURE" feature we now have. What I've been looking at is "SnowTown01" from the XP RTP (Close-enough reference). The issue with this is that the picture's original size is 640 x 320, rather than the 640 x 480 that would be needed. Simply stretching that picture to be 640 x 480 is just icky. I had the idea of incorporating a snow battle background from VX Ace, but that didn't look quite right either. Currently, I'm looking into other options I can do that would make this be 640 x 480, but still look natural.

On the other hand, the importance of the story linked to this whole ordeal can be told another way. It's not a huge priority that I get this. So, a viable alternative would be to just forget about it, and not mess with this. Opinions?
One idea could be to draw in a railing or fence or something for the 160 height of pixels you still need.
Btw, that link isn't working.

Perhaps I'm taking this to mean something completely different than your intention, but wouldn't drawing in a railing/fence would still require that I have a similar ground pattern to the rest of the picture?

Btw, that link isn't working.


Odd. It works for me. Does the image tag work?


you could draw in a brick wall

EDIT: i think i might be able to do something with that tomorrow i have about 2 hours free time tomorrow and seira is fixed tested and rared i just didnt have time to upload her before i had to go to work no garuntees though
here is 3 posts real quick first is seira the mayadere mostly tested meaning i played through and got about 75 of her story

To recap VIOLENCE STRONG LANGUAGE and BIKINI. she needs v 2.2 and it doesent matter if you play with clean mode on or off but off gives you a chance to get a few extra stories.

Gonna check both out soon, Triad!:)

Also! I feel kind of bad playing the big guy when I still haven't showed up with anything, so I'll put effort into smaller projects. Such as the Uchioniko Expansion! What do you think of this, Marrend? Your mallet or whatzit wacked it at me today:

@triad:
I suppose I could upload that file I was looking at myself? Seems like a waste of locker space to do that, but if it would really help, then, I suppose I could go that extra mile.

@Dozen:
That's "Bludgeon of Inspiration". Anyway, the usual line for Mayu offering some of her baking is "God, I suck at cooking!" Her skill in cooking is not defined beyond that, so I'm not sure how plausible this event actually is. Outside of that technicality, I really like this. What I like about it the most is the reference to hot foods, and fire. It feels like the kind of reference I might make myself. How the story concludes with Mayu "saving face" in light of her true feelings is also something I admire with this story.

Yeah, I guessed that could be confusing. I tried to make clear she only did good this one time because it was a 'hot dish'.

This... makes me feel all fuzzy inside :) Thank you.

I've done a few fixes to it - I think it's ready for implementation. Off for the next one!
sorry marrend but i don't know when i will have time off again during the day atleast not for 2 weeks so it might be better to find another way or to experiment yourself
@Marrend
I guess it's probably just the computer I'm using at the moment not recognizing image files.

@triad2, Dozen
If you like, we can put that link to Yoko's tachie pack at the top of the page.
I'll be honest, though. Her forehead bugs me. Her bangs would look better to me if lowered a bit, and even a chimera should have eyebrows, yeah?
