If you're forcing yourself to write, it's probably going to show, and the quality of the writing is going to suffer. You have to let it come to you naturally.
That's what I've noticed, anyway.
Pfft, if I were forcing myself to write I'd be almost done with the route. This is good advice, though. I just wish the ability to write quality ideas would come more often.

I know that feel... I argue the whole week about how work prevents me from editing, and then I often find myself loitering around on the weekends.Finished Crysis 2 last week.:pI'm playing Realm of the Mad God.
About throwing and creating stories, that's normal, the current Eliza route is actually the 3th time starting from the scratch. I cannot even believe how her lines were written at the 1st one, she was behaving paranoid to a irrational degree, and her violent side was way overboard...
Kinda worried now. Shizuka used to act way too casual and became friendly with the player very early, now she runs from the player like he's the plague. Those are the words he uses, and it's intentional, but it might be unrealistic. Or maybe I'm just too scared and everything is fine.
It's probably the former.
I generally have random ideas when listening to music, and then write it straight away on the files, (not a efficient way to do at all, some events took four reviews to actually sound like Eliza :p )
It absolutely certainly helps to be the character you want to write. Not really, but while you've got free time, imagine yourself talking to the character in a bunch of random situations, watch how you think they'd react, and note that down mentally or on paper.
One thing I like to do is type up stories that don't happen in the game but could happen. Write them from different perspectives. If you're writing your characters thoughts and actions directly, in word-only format, you really can understand them.
Basically, constantly subject your mind to your characters and the stories and sooner or later ideas, thoughts and possibly motivation will come.
It just occurred to me that's what you said below.
Keep thinking/developing your chars and the base plot, stories will pop up soon or later, as Marrend said, nothing is going to come if you force yourself to write. ;)
Read the reply to Marrend's post. Also, I actually wrote two stories since writing that post. :D
As a little progress note.
I'm trying to make a (young)adult tachie, it's a little far from being complete but have a preview ^^
How and if I'll use it on Wolfpack depends in how it goes.
Note. You can't date a teacher in Wolfpack. :3
She's cute, but she looks a little weird. Not necessarily wrong, just strange. It's a personal issue, don't listen to me.

Choices aside, Chased Miki at the halls, have Riho and the Pervert police after him, skip classes at the sick room, sighted Tsubasa's ..., jumped the hot springs fence. That's a quite huge list to say it all...
And before <player> do anything of the above, Miki still talk about him... Miki's way. :p
author=MuteI do that once in awhile, since I use Eliza in two other stories which I write only for the lolz, but maybe I should just count one, extensive shotgun knowledge and sword mastery won't help much her school life. .-.

In that story I once written a first person section with Eliza as protagonist. :3
author=MuteI'll listen anyway. xD

Truth is, I don't trust my own outline to a game asset, so due that, I always search something to outline, and try to merge Dangaronpa, mine and medium_build, styles together proven itself quite problematic.
There's a little amount of minor, hopefully fixable, issues, but the head outline is really bugging me. The height looks overboard, but it's exactly the same size as the medium build, if I add length to fix it up the head looks too big.
For some reason it looks right on Kirigiri.
Guess I should had used Holo as model instead. :p

Welcome back, me...
*tears through the barricades*
I've read everything, people. Apparently I was away so long some people are unaware I (supposedly) run the place. Which is frankly weird to me, I left out half a year that one time. But, I'm here and now ready for duty. Though, everyone is so diligent lately, I don't see what kind of running I'd need to do. Aside from the critique(to dewelar especially, having been due to... a month, now? Damn me, I became my own foil). All I can say is, everyone's doing a good job, giving it their best, and reflect upon themselves when they make a mistake. Which is all I wanted to achieve here.
Rest assured, I'm still here and care for what goes on, even though I only read. Nothing to fear(not that anyone misses me outright... but the worry warms my heart<3), if anything displeases me, Marrend can attest there is no force stopping me from screaming, and that's... the only thing I can do competently, which is oddly both kind of a let down and reassuring.
Decidated and underwhelming to you all, overseer off.

Hey, Dozen! Where have you been?
Oh, I don't know who let that barricade there... well... must have been the wind.
Just in time (or a week earlier to be more exact) for the new beta, it makes me happy and frightened at the same time x3
AS for the progress notes: I'm currently working in another prototype for a adult tachie, this one feels more in-game since it's compatible with the Meduim_build expressions, but atm is looking a little outstretched, maybe because of the compatibilty. (Kind of weird since Luka have only 1,62m,
Also will have to rewrite two or four stories due some new details of Eliza's background, and Miki's gossip.
PS. Dozen you may want to

Nothing in particular. The CCO is willing to scream at your content and possibly you if you feel like having honest, brutal feedback. Otherwise, just continue as normal.

Now, Lancelot, Galahad, and I, wait until nightfall. Then, we leap out of the rabbit, taking the French by surprise, and totally unarmed!

I keep saying to myself that I'll play it with the beta, but WolfPack is progressing like Windows loading bars. Maybe I should give it a go at once, I've didn't played Noriko's route properly too.
Last time I played the game it was so crowded with CC that just half of the events of each content appeared,
But to be honest, I don't make much of my time during weekends... it can get delayed a bit.
Progress report and image of the day x3
- Replaced Story 18-19 when Miki annoyed Eliza becuase of her nickname with some backstory stuff.
- Eliza's nickname changed from LoneWolf to ShadowWolf.
- Yuriko's surname changed from Kimura to Sakamoto.
- Minor changes to Alessa's tachie, now she looks more like Eliza's sister.

The best answer I can give. I am inspired.
(Also ashamed to be nitpicky towards the masterwork, but, can you use Kyouki's Neutral tachie instead?)

Oh yeah. Noriko. She's been on the finished content thread for a while, but I haven't played her for even longer. Might be high-time to have a look-see. Then again...

...this frightens me from touching Noriko in any way, shape, or form like you wouldn't believe!
Anyway, I've been thinking of maybe doing some kind of route exchange for characters that are in-progress, and want feedback. A "I play your route, you play mine" kinda deal. I would like to think that something like this will get a few routes out of the woodwork, but I guess we'll see how fast (or if) content creators jump on this offer.

author=DozenCan do, updating chart... ^^
can you use Kyouki's Neutral tachie instead?
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. Couldn't find a Ryouko neutral picture too :p

You know I like jumping into stuff, count me in. ^^
I find it really cool, as I think that a constructive feedback really have the power to pump one into developing a route ^^
How would it work, exactly? One of things that worry me is that larger the number of the people playing the beta, smaller the ones that will play the release version ...
Ps. I may be going off limits by asking this but, how is Kyouki going? :3

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*

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.
