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!

I just noticed this, but...
52 subscribers!?
When did this happen?
During the time you didn't pay attention :>
It's true that I don't pay very good attention to the official site which is pretty sad, but I visit RMN more often than anywhere else on the 'net. I would think I would have noticed the number of subscribers as the number built up. Evidently not!

Teehee. *blushes*
And to flowerthief:
Will you make a similar game in the future, hopefully boys instead of girls? (I need me some eye-candy too ya know x))

^ It's in my plans :) It won't be the next game...the game I'm currently working on has virtually nothing in common with this one. But the next sim I make will have a very high chance of being either an outright otome game or a galge/otome game hybrid. Awhile back I considered adding an Otome Mode to Heartache 101, but it didn't pan out, so I definitely would like to come through for female players next time around.

Dafuq is 151 mode?
Play the game with 151 days to get a girlfriend rather than 101! I'm pretty sure that's all 151 Mode is. I've never personally used it, though having that kind of extra buffer might be useful to reduce the stress in finding events for certain characters.

This is my first time posting I have created a character she's not finished yet but I would like some opinions on her she is a tsundere (probably more of a tsuntsun) and a teacher here are some of the tachie i created that my friends say still need work because they don't fit with the mood the character is supposed to be in so i was hoping to get some constructive criticism i should be ready to post the character in a week or so also if i could get the cheats i would appreciate it.[http://tinypic.com/r/9jhfn9/6 neutral and http://tinypic.com/r/2yp18vc/6 friendly
@triad2: Pink Elephant's "Kisaragi" model? Why not! Anyway, to be honest, I don't like the face on either of those examples you provide. Here's the kind of thing I would have done (hide tag ho!):
That's not the best attempt at coloration with that blouse underneath the jacket, and the expression is probably off, but I was more concerned about making a quick example than anything else.

thank you Marrend I'll make some changes i guess i may have made her a little too mean looking but i was trying to give her the kind of expression that would strike fear into her students i may have went overboard
Yes! A teacher! I was wondering when somebody would make one.
I've gone ahead and added the cheats to the custom content page.

80% of the story is done the tachie are done and I'm happy with them I could have it done by Friday but I'm gonna take a few days off and head into the desert on a survival trip for my birthday
Desert survival? Doesn't seem very celebratory to me. To each their own, I suppose. Good luck with the character!

Are you being serious?
What I had in mind for an Otome mode was an alternate storyline taking place at the same school, meaning that a new prologue and new generic endings, etc would have to be written. And a lot of other changes which would require plenty of testing. It's true though that it's the most requested feature.

An Otome mode...
Thiefy, may I have permission to decompile the game and do it for you?
No offense, but I'm pretty sure you literally have no idea what you're getting into by asking this.

I'm not exactly sure when this idea of having a female-perspective version of this game initially hit the table, but it seems to have been around for a while. Most wanted feature, though? The most wanted feature, at least according to the poll on the official site, is "just more characters". Though, "GxB support" does come in second. But, um, didn't you want to take a break from making this kind of game and do something else?

All right, All right, both of you. No need to be so rude about it.
And of course I wasn't being serious, I oppose most dating simulators anyway.
