Heartache 101 ~Sour into Sweet~

I think it's quite adorable and fitting. Please continue to make new parts that we could download!!

Thanks for the support, I'm currently working on a under-rim only glasses, I will release the first parts soon. ^^

Second, realism doesn't always mean pessimism. That depends on the reality she faces.

I really liked what you said here. I don't know why, but I felt that this will someone lead her route in a better direction.

I really like the way it sounds.
Reality is something that vary a lot, given that reality after all it's just the world that one, in case Megumi, can see. So "realities" conflict every day, and being passive (also know as inattentive) generally it's the better way to go. Or something like that. xD
On a side note, I've used conflict of realities on Eliza's route too :3

She looks a whole lot like a taller, darker-haired Akari.

author=ShinigamisApples
She's very cute, though she bears quite the resemblance to Akari.

I did notice this while making her, but I had some of Akari's images open so they wouldn't end up having the same face emotions. And yet, my character's eye eventually changes into the same eye that Akari changes into when their affection rate is higher then "like". I'm not sure if I'll change it or not. I think I'll just let it be mostly because both of their personalities really contrast. Also, don't quote me on this, isn't Akari's hair like blue-gray? I can't quite tell.

I agree with both parts here, they ressemble each other but Akari's Hair is blue toned LightGray, and have a smaller chest I'm not a pervert for noticing that am I?
Since them don't act alike at least I guess so, I don't really know Akari i.m.o. it will be allright.

Typical PS. Some of you guys may know I'm pushing my luck trying a CG, can you guys easy identify him as "the player"?
(Only base lines right now)

... and now that I'm back from lurking... (WARNING: long 'Quotes' ahead.)

I was wandering trough the threads to catch up all I've lost the time I was off, I noticed that we have a lot of good chars developing but we're getting a little short on visual options :p
So I tried to give the local hairdresser a hand ^^

I'll try to make some new parts for the 'Meduim build', however, make a 'Medium build +' will be harder than expected, I'm having a bad time to match the original shades :\

Edit: Oh, Falcon is already at it. Here am I being all impulsive again :p
I'll stick to it anyway, more parts the better right? ^^

I agree full-heartedly with your last sentiment there, by the way. ^.^ As for the hair itself, I personally like it a lot (definitely a lot better than anything I can do with my limited digital skill and attention span ^.^;), but I feel the shading (mostly the highlights) could emulate the medium build girl's standard a bit better. Though I guess you said as much yourself. ^.^; -EDIT- (I might actually be able to help with that but... well read the upcoming side-note ^.^;)

Also, a side note, though I am intending to make new materials for the Medium Build Girl, I can state with confidence that nothing's going to get done anytime soon. ^.^

Hello!~
You all seem like lovely people that can direct me in the right direction of making a -successful- custom character. This is a great game, and it interested me into wanting to make a character. Also, I'd just like to note that I have experience in writing, and I'm aiming for my character to be -flawed- not perfect.

-Image-

Her name is Megumi Nakamura, I'd like to reserve ID 94 for her. But without further ado, I'd like to paraphrase the story I have so far. She's returning to the players school after moving various times. However, she did live in the area, and was acquaintanced with Miki as a first year student (Note: Megumi is a second year student currenty).

Now for personality, she's very inattentive and doesn't aspire for much (perhaps "realistic" in a sense?). I'm planning for her to have a dry wit at times, and, at some points be a little irritable.

So that's basically what I've got so far. Please constructively criticize, if you will.

I've got nothing really to say about Megumi that hasn't already been said, but I think she sounds really interesting and I can't wait for the content to be completed. ^.^ Well, I do kinda impulsively want to match the color of her eyelash area with her hair, but I think that's just me. ^.^;

On a side note, I'm working an an event CG for Sarako. It'll be my first completed piece of digital art... when it's completed. ^.^; At current it's a pure white 1920x1440 image, but I have gotten most of the concept on actual paper.

Huh. Thought I had more to say than that. =.=;

... how did I forget to add this earlier? =.=; I find myself rapidly growing jealous of your skills. ^.^; lol I don't really have an opinion on what might pass as <player>, but I personally think that works. A new note brought up by this; this being accepted gives me the go ahead on making a CG event where someone just so happens to lodge their shoe in <player>'s shin. ^.^ (wasn't sure whether or not I should actually depict <player>.)

author=Marrend
I gave 'em a listen-to. I do like me some Valkyria Chronicles 2!

Yay, It's one mine favorite PSP games ^^
-Edit- I may add one or two new sounds if I find something (of general use) missing, but I'm starting to run low on voices :p
(Dangaronpa voices is harder to record as it don't have a recall events feature like VC2)

1920x1440, that's huge ^^ I'm not sure if it helps or complicate things :p

Actually, though I don't know much about digital art, I have learned from the many people I've asked and tutorials I've seen that it is best to work on an image at a size a few times larger than the intended size of the finished product. This gives you a less confined space to work with and also helps to hide any minor mistakes you may have made. ^.^ 1920x1440 is actually 3x the in-game resolution, 640x480.

Oh lol, that's right. I've seen 1920 and imagined 1920x1080 right away. xD


Got a new part to you guys take a look, I'll release the first download as soon as I finish the Hair that match of these bangs ^^


To finish, I'm almost done with the sounds on mine route, it also should be available soon ^^


Edit at Feb 4th, to prevent double posting:
Well, Eliza's route is not going to be released that soon... xD

You see, the text is back from march 2013, so when I was adding the sounds I found a quite lot of lines that needed some polish on flow or characterization, mine Wolf will celebrate her 5th (first draw) birthday next month and I've grown somewhat obsessive picky with things regarding her personality.
In other words, I'll take sometime to re-calibrate some speech, add some choices and lay a few more landmines, one does not simply "get" an wolf. ;)
(And also playing with the custom content, something about Izumi really drawn mine attention :3 )

At least I've completed the CG with a fair quality thanks to some photo filters, sadly I can't ask for a review because it's a spoiler large enough for a Pikes Peak car.

To end, little thing is bugging me here :p
I was playing with the Custom contents here, on Uchioniko I eavesdrop a conversation at the end of the class where all the girls of the pack were talking, and Yuu Lambaria is "sitting right behind me on class". But the prologue said that the school were divided in a male (north) and female (south) wing.
Eliza's introduction event is set to that north-south styled school, which sound kinda odd now. :p
As a note, the event also says that Riho and Miki are in the "class E", I haven't found anything regard class names for now.

Also, HI BASEDMG! HOW'S THAT KOTONE DOING?

AUGH

It's doing terribly. I'm having something of an existential crisis in regards to her route and I'm thinking of axing a few things entirely and starting fresh. Very little about her personality will change, but I'm probably going to give her story an overhaul. I just feel like I'm trying to shove as many plot points as I can into her story and it's going to break apart further down the line.

Lol, lot of things to quote here, right, here I go. ^^

author=BDFalcon
So, it technically doesn't change anything, but don't expect anything from me for a while as I am busy helping co-develop an RPG Maker game with my brother. Though he already seems to be losing interest. =.=; If things continue as they have been going so far with it's development, then I will be quite busy in the coming weeks/months (mostly artwork and making the game world a little more interesting than my brother's skills/imagination would allow) and will not be able to make any updates on my characters. Big difference from how it is right now, huh? ^.^;

Also, have some Yuureiko (tentative name), a distant and aloof girl (there's more to her in the 'Show' tab. Information in there is slightly spoilerific. only slightly though.):

=Image=

Show

But that's just how she is on the surface, when you get to know her you learn that she's a goofy, energetic girl who is obsessed with ghosts.
The expression she usually wears whenever she brings up ghosts:
=Cuter Image=

I liked the conecept we have by now, too bad that information about the girls always get spoilerish :\

I'm also thinking of taking out the Club events to reduce file size and trim some of the fat, but that's up to you guys to decide whether or not you want the conditional club events to stay.

Heyo BasedMG ^^
I know this feel :|
After mine fly by to add the sound I almost remade half of Eliza route and thing are starting to get difficult to merge everything together.

author=Marrend
Now BDFalcon has a random avatar too? Or am I just noticing this?
AHHH! STOP DE-RAILING, MARREND!

Nope, I also spent a lot of time trying to figure it out how he do this xD
At first I thought that was some bug with animations, which froze the frame, but BasedMG's last avatar was animated... now I'm clueless, can someone call Tsubasa?

author=Mute
Since I don't want to de-rail any further, I just wanted to let you all know that my girls had their tachies redone. The previous ones were messy, with fugly outlines around the hair and tons of unnecessary expressions. The new set is much simpler and clean. Here are some of the tachies for both.

It looks great, are they sisters? ^^
