There actually is a Matsumori High!?

Daaaaaamn.
author=Render
Actually it starts off with place then branches to none, and then branches to a place again. It's basically Miki putting her hands over the player's face. I'm not sure that makes a difference or not.

Thats other event, I remember this one but cannot track his number or file... on story 37 <player> and Keika are making out at the closet during break. Just let the pervert police get acknowledge of this offenders!

Hayatsuri high school in Hayatsuri city:) That is fine with me Render:)
So can we say there is also elementary school with the same name?(just afleeting thought:)
As for backround story to places...(I am already planning for some of them...including amiddle and high schools for my future characters and the shrine for Midori route and Shrine maiden route)

Having a Hayauchi elementary sounds about right, this will be our default school for junior high then? ^^
Happily, Studio have a Elementary school and a other shire backgrounds ^^

Re-installed and got some sosc backgrounds, and tried to replace a r-18 poster. Check up the results ^^

To add my two cents to this conversation,

Matsumori High is said to be two hours away from the player's town in Fran's route, and the real school(yes, there is one) is in Southern Tohoku. Also, Akari's pet Moses most probably a Tohoku salamander, on the grounds of symbolism, which Akari, being the Soul type, would make use of. And getting salamanders out of their natural habitat's climate when it can't live in your room(he sure as hell can't, it has zero sunlight and no conditioning;the bills on maintaining him would be insane) is not a good idea.

I would say the game takes place in Iwate, or Akita prefecture, both of which have two isolated towns each, that I know of, with only one High school with access to train which leads to a larger beachside settlement in short enough order that travelling by it doesn't significantly affect the player's time.

I would say this narrows it down, no?

Masako is that you? D:

Serves me right for don't giving attention to Akari neither Hinami...
The Shikansen and Tohoku Exprs. passes right in the middle of them, guess there's nothing I or other mortals can add about the town location :p

Elementary, to be fair. But you can't just name schools however you want. Schools are still a business, especially in Japan where so many of them are in private hands. If there was a Matsumori High, it would need to be a partner or subsidiary of this one, so, we can take a bit of artistic license on that.

EDIT: Also there is the area next to that place the school is named after. I don't think there is anything to warrant a counterargument here.

No, I just fart this way.
Amazing backrounds:) already saved them in my cp just in case:)
So since we have the location...does that mean new schools need to be based from schools in the same area with 2 hours riding? or imaginary with good taste?

Whichever of those you prefer would be acceptable.

Putting meticulous work into little bits of lore as always, overseer off.

I'm just wondering how flowerthief would feel about all of this discussion. My gut feeling says that he'd be okay with whatever we decide, but...

I dunno. I think we might be getting a bit too specific for the game's own good? Maybe I'm just worrying too much.

*Edit: Yeah, probably just me worrying too much.

It worries me the possibility of people bypassing these infos, and placing stuff wherever they think it's right, as I would place it near Osaka.
We have a whole lot of key information around these last pages, and I doubt anyone that aren't active at the forums right now will find it later. This kind of info could be added to the Mr. Help.html near the Holy-hand granade, to avoid misplacings.

Ha! This place is waaay not stuck-up enough^^ (burn!) And, Kansai doesn't show in the speech style of any natives in the game, the climate is too cold(In Junko's story it's revealed that bathing in the sea is not optimal even that late into the game)... it wouldn't add up.

I sorta have to agree that having info like this on the gamepage, or as a piece of information that Mr. Help File would know, or, really, anywhere other than trying to find it in these legion of posts would be nice!

*Edit:
*attempts to gather this information for flowerthief's list of things-he-might-want-to-do-when-or-if-he-ever-comes-back-to-this*
Now that I think about it I got so focused on this stuff that it never came to my mind...Whether those settings are okay with the original writer...*how shamless of me*
Just curious, do we really need a specific name for the town? There's always ways of avoiding saying the town name with pronouns. By the way, beta for the Megumi/Fujiko/Makoto routes should be out in about two weeks or so!
When I played the game the first time I was wondering what the town is called...It looked unnatural that the lines avoided the topic...So lets just say there are situations when its better to call something by its name insetead of avoid it...(ofcourse it is just personal feeling about it there are poeple who may not agree with it:)

Wait, this discussion was about giving the town a name? Completely missed it!o.O

Sorry, you absolutely should not do that. Add your own themes through characterization and subtle changes, not altering the game's premises.

How did it feel unnatural to you? Authors do it all of the time, and I don't recall one scene where in the game it was directly talking about the town. Besides that, flowerthief hasn't been on from what I've seen, and I think it'd be better if he had the final call if there is a town name or not, considering he made the game.

Exactly.
Originally Iasked about where Hayauchi high school is(if it is real or not) Then aname for the town became aside topic(Dont ask me why I think about it myself right now)

Well as for the lines its not specific lines and it's not about if writers do it or not it was my self opinion only(not the writer or the game problem but mine with my curious nature...) so if someone like me with curious nature show up and ask:What is the name of the town this story happens at? What will you say?(I dont know...who cares?) What then?(So as Isaid its my self shameless opinion not something I am going to do something with since only the original writer can tell)
And you are right Dozen its not even aquestion whether its good or not to change the whole setting...

If the town's name being unknown really bothers you so much, you can always hang a lampshade over it.

Thank you both. Y'all be on your guard, now. Overseer off.
haven't seen this one for along time...well majority of readers probably will not mind it since as Isaid the lines dont realy show aproblem the characters just live there(even in real life unless someone with interest to know the town name-like someone who got lost or want to know to make sure its the town he wanted) so since they live there all their life they dont need to say the town name each day(or more like only in certain situations...) so it does seem natural...and the main point is to make agirl fall in love with player on the limited time of 101 days...
that said Iam probably just crazy to think normal poeple will find it unnatural...
Err... It wasn't settled as Hayauchi? We can keep the usual avoid maneuvers anyway :p
The town location helped a lot for some minor details here btw. :3

Mine latest play with PS-CS4... Cat-Ears! *insert fan-girling here*

Hey <player>, what do you say 'bout the last science class?

Er... Alessa...
What I've said to you about drinking that Nuka-cola quantum?


Last but not least.
After the, constant, windows loading bar issue, I've decided to release a beta of WolfPack this weekend whatever the status. And face the consequences behind something safer than a couch.
I'm borderline obsessive with things regarding Eliza, so I doubt that I'll ever stop and say to myself "done".
The beta may be without some events or tachies currently in develop.

Oh wait. I shouldn't be playing with PS again then!
Over and out. I need to panic for awhile.
Ifelt danger and retreated sorry about that...(Well honestly Iwant to continue this discussion but Iam going out of bounds so...)
Glad to hear that:) (At least one good thing came from my carzy curisouity-spelling mistake?)

Then our girls will meet at some point(Shrine maiden and Magical girl might try to persue your cat ears girl...part of their job)

Iwill be tuned then:)
