I'd like to add that I didn't play Emiko, but I read the story file instead. So far I got to the club part. It's very interesting, and dynamic from the Uchioniko pack. I'd say just keep at it, I'm curious as to where her route is leading towards.


Thanks, Render. Right now, the only change I may want to make is to the initial Greenhouse event. With the two characters I may want to introduce there (as opposed to INTRODUCE), the antagonistic relationship they have might make for a more interesting event.

I know it's only been a week, and I'm on something of a haitus on the route, but I would appreciate some feedback on the latest release of Emiko at some point.


I might have some time in the next few days to do more than lurk and...er...

Something to discuss? Ehehe...

So will I. *glance at dewelar*


Yes...yes...good work...

Using our in-progress content as an example, I would download a copy of Wolfpack, and you would download a copy of Emiko. We would play the routes as much as possible, then leave feedback. Feedback can be in the form of a post on this thread, but it can also be in the form of private messages. My guess is that your preference is PMs.

Pro-tip: It helps to have content to download! *forced cough*

Oka ^^
I agree with the PMs, so we can prevent spoilers. And I'm having a hard time to keep them to myself :p

{Edited} So, I'll be exchanging beta's with Marrend? Or it's just my mad scientist self cannonballing again? :p
Taking that Dewelar is taking, a deserved, break after successfully finishing his route, we have Ertad, Render, BDFalcon, Mute, Lorsquirrel and Dozen to set up if I'm not forgetting anyone (again). So with me and Marrend we can make 4 couples from beta exchanging.
Although Falcon is away for a quite long... and he didn't even explained about how his avatar works. .-.

There's a serious tip you got there, I shall try it ASAP, unfortunately my recents changes are from Story 17 to 21, which is at mid-Neutral state... I shall PM you when it's ready. ;)

Over and out /o

Why does it feel like Iwasn't here for ages???
Iam glad nothing is going to change now:) But the effect of your return is amazing Dozen:)
Iagree Marrend:) Iwas going to play her route anyway and give feedback:)
And is it normal to change pictures of profiles???
Ifinally got used to the...Alien creature Iguess it is called...And now both you and Kevincalanor just changed them as if nothing...At least in Kevincalanor case the concept is still there:)
(What am Isaying anyway??? Its 1:36!!! Ineed to sleep and fast!)

Dozen really knows how to cheer up people ^^ *Side looks at him and Dewelar*
Well... due some mad scientist stuff I'm virtually unable to keep using the same avatar for longer than a month. Guess there's no problem since the username is always the same. ;)
By the way, it's time to you get yourself one char avatar too x3

1:36... Because I work at night, I've decided to pass this night without sleeping, don't recommend at all, almost slept like a rock... On the living room's floor.

I finally got used to the...Alien creature Iguess it is called...And now both you and Kevincalanor just changed them as if nothing.

For reference purposes, the avatar I had before was the Rune of Punishment. I bore the rune used it as an avatar for as long as I was a judge of this event. Now that the event is concluded, I changed it to a different reference.

I assume the story behind Kevincalanor's avatar change is because that's Eliza, and she'd the leader of the pack. Wolfpack, that is!

*Edit: Oh. I guess you understand Kevincalanor's change, after all.
Just dropping in real quick just so no one thinks I'm dead or have abandoned Heartache. I would also like to state that I am still on hiatus as I am working on making a fighting game. I decided against extensive lurking due to the fact that there are 50 new comments since my last post, so I have nothing to add to anybody's anything. ^.^;

I am a little miffed that the ID list doesn't reflect the ID's I requested on the 21st of February, though. ^.^;

I would like to be able to say something more substantial and Heartache related, but I haven't even thought about my characters' and their related stories since I previously declared hiatus.

Heyo, Falcon o/
Oh, sorry if I sounded like that, but people still curious 'bout the avatar tho, I'll ask Tsubasa about it :p

Hope things are going well with your fighting game, don't forget to drop a link when it's done ^^ Er... Dozen... I'm allowed to ask this?

Edit: I really shouldn't be playing around with photoshop instead of writing... I blame Marrend for giving me the idea at Okiku's blog
but have some Wolf diplomacy, this is at the part I'm working right now btw. :3


More editing:
I used one or two unavoidable status check, I thinking about make <player> aware of the branching. So it doesn't feel like story is fixing the mess by itself. :p

BWAH HA HA! Which blog is this?
May I reserve ID 38 for Makoto Ohtaki? I'm near half way done with Megumi's route but Fujiko and Megumi aren't exactly "bright" characters while as Makoto would clear up the air.

Also on an unrelated topic, Marrend your self-advertising worked! >___>

Yup it works, maybe I should try it too, downloaded Uchioniko these days too. Too bad I have spend mine whole time fixing WolfPack condition bugs... .-.


Did dome play-testing today, Currently at day 35th ^^
Currently playing with Emiko, Noriko and Wolfpack. Shall I PM the authors or just post it here?

About WolfPack... I've changed event 7 to 5 and forgot to change conditions... my whole let's check the day it happens' and 'check stat levels' got thrown out the window. :/
Let's see how it goes with a 8 days delay.
Took your advice Kevincalanor:) Avatar updated:)
Marrend it was arune??? Sorry Iwas sure its some alien...And yes Iguess those refeneces helped me understand the meaning of that...rune.
For some reason Ifound myself thinking it suit you somehow(in agood way.)
Well Ihope to release soon atest for Midori(It came to me more faster after abreak for some reason)
But Iwill not be able to make the deadline in 13/3 Iwas stupid to think it will go easilly in English...
Edit:I need some advice about the emotion I describe whether Iam overdoing it or is it okay...Since Ihave never involved myself with rpg writing...if it is every story will look like it if not then Iwill have to re-write everything(1500 lines)

I would like to think that you're not talking about the Heartache custom content. Though, either version of Uchioniko is fine!

You can post your thoughts on Emiko here as far as I care.

Also, I skimmed what's underneath Ertad's hide-tag. I wouldn't mind this style of writing so much, except that I know that hard returns cause a new message window to appear. That breaks up the effect that I think you want to happen (a line of regular speech, then a line of emote-note, then a line of regular speech). I suppose you could put all that on one line, but I dunno.
Thankes:)
Honestly Idont mind in the same convesion box but not on the same line but one under the other...Ineed to know how much space Ineed in order for one line to go down and not stay up.
On that note how much 'space' is there for every line in the box?

I see where you're going with this. That might just work!

This game seems to use the default font used for RPG Maker XP. It's not mono-spaced, but a rough estimate for the maximum number of characters on a line is 40.
Excuse me for my late post; I was held up by eviscerating amounts of red tape.

Also I want to ask one thing... There still three chars on the sanity chart that I wasn't able to find info about. The girl with Izumi, the one with Aoi and that tall one (a teacher perhaps?) in the unstable section.

They are (First name is spoiler) Ryoko, ID 33, Second year class B; Shitazawa Arika, ID 29, First year Class B; and Columban Kuri, ID 87, Third year Class A, respectively. Why would the latter's ID be so high, we'll never know, her creator, talented I might add, posted her half-finished route and vanished without a trace. I've been safekeeping the copies ever since.
Since Ertad reserved the number first, anyway, I propose to change it to 54 for simplicity.
It worked:) Thankes Marrend:)

Edit:It seems like it shrinked the space req to get to 41 word for every second line and the space req for every third line to be in 81...(confused)

I'm not certain what you're talking about, but, don't worry about how the white space fails to appear under your hide-tag. If what you're doing works in Heartache, that's all that matters.

*Edit: I think a code-tag might have the proper white space. Let me try it...

*Edit2:
And, of course, I can't put a code-tag under a hide-tag. BEAUTIFUL.


*Edit-freaking-3:
I don't mind slotting Columban Kuri in at #54 who made her, again, or defining those "Reserved for Dozen" slots.
Nice that how it looks:)
BTW-why the hide don't show the comment exactly as it is?
On another note Istarted agame last night with Emiko included:)
Day 45 already
She loves shopping or something? almost always Ifind her there...
Edit:Istill don't get Emiko...It's like she does all she can to spite player...
And the couple is also kind of ticking me...They just add oil to the fire...
All Ican see is Emiko hating player sooner or later with that personality...
Unless there will be an amazing event to change it...
but she is interesting:) and I laughd alot while playing her currectly route:)
(There is more to come right? Since Icant seem to run in to any major stuff anymore)
