Date, create, and share!
Assuming the role of a male high school student in Japan, the player will meet, interact with, and date a number of female characters with the goal of winding up with one of them at the end of a 101-day calendar. Yeah, you've seen this all before...or have you?
In other romance sims, there's little reason to replay the game again once you've pursued all the characters you're interested in. But Heartache 101 allows for a variable female cast. The number of characters in the game is completely open-ended!
You can create new characters and add them to the game, share them with other users, and add characters created by other users. You can create the images for custom characters from a template, or use images you created yourself, or images from any source. (only "standing" images of characters can be imported; there is no event CG in the game) A simple scripting language is provided for writing story events. You can also customize some of the music.
The game system itself is in part a visual novel interface with gameplay that include conversational decision-making, board game-like mechanics, stat management, financial management, and more.

Since I've been asked many times if I would ever make a sequel to Heartache....
Well this is not a sequel. In very many ways it's radically different. But some might find that it partially retains a bit of the same feel?
So I'm posting the first public screenshot here, and whoever is interested, look for a game page up in the next week or two with the title "Where One Citizen". Game is not complete yet, but after 10 years of development it's about time to start showing it!

Some tips about the secret character can also be found on the comments page on the website.
(off-topic: Your avatar is my favorite char from that series)
@RebeccaAshford
Under the Layers menu there's some color tools. You can probably figure out how to change to the color you want by playing around with it, but if not, I bet Marrend would be willing to do it for you if you asked.

can someone explain something to me Im trying to make a brunette custom character Im using gimp and the model file and I her look like I wanted but I cant figure out how to change the hair color from red
The way I change hair color is to first select the layer of the hair type that I'm using. Then, I use the right-mouse button to bring up a contextual menu (The so-called "right-click trick".), and select the "Colorfy" option. From there, I can set the RGB values, or whatever else is there, to values I can specify. Or use one of the default colors. "Brown" (That's the color I associate with the word "brunette", anyway.) is not one of those defaults, so it would behoove you to have an idea of where that color might lie. For reference purposes, the RGB value I used to make Shoko's hair brown was {106.47.0}.

Whaaat? But, but, RebeccaAshford seems willing to learn! But, yes, I could do it for her, if she asks.

Hold on, Hold on...
There are 3 pink-haired girls? e.e
Wait, three? LordNight's Midori is one. The secret built-in character, Chiemi, is another. Who's the third?
Kieron, do you know something that I do not?

Aren't Riho and Shihoko(or however you spell it) pink-haired?
And here I was, thinking Kieron had a character up his/her/whatever's sleeve! Disappointment!
Anyway, my first thought on seeing Riho was that she's a red-head. I mean, if one looks really closely, I think one might get a hint of pink. A similar story could probably be told of her elder sister, Shihoko, as well.

No. I'm not, only a blonde one :>
And for some reason, this game really remind me of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya ._.

Lol my sister is a virgo and she nags a lot like Miki. xD

Cool! I tried to assign zodiac signs based on the little I know (was able to research) of what they're supposed to mean.

I think you'll find that she is just a woman, they were made like that :>
