BTW-why the hide don't show the comment exactly as it is?


My best guess is that there is some underlying function that removes extra white space unless the text is under a code-tag.

On another note Istarted agame last night with Emiko included:)
Day 45 already
She loves shopping or something? almost always Ifind her there...


Emiko's not shopping, she's working! Man, is my writing that far off?
No it's not(lol)
It just seem like she is playing around while working...or at least that was my impression it's not writing problem but more like her image when making conversion with player:) of course it was obvious what she does but some lines made her seem like she wants player off her sight and player imprssion was she isn't suited for saling prouducts also she does seem good at that in some parts(only second meeting at the market-painfully lost 800 yen)

Eventually, there will be more to Emiko! A bit of re-writing (I feel I must have mentioned this fifty times at this point), but some additions too!

Though, I have no clue how this route is going to end yet. Might be a problem.

I would like to think that you're not talking about the Heartache custom content. Though, either version of Uchioniko is fine!

Lel, it's the RPG, I've downloaded the HTC101 Uchioniko when I got back here. :p

Took your advice Kevincalanor:) Avatar updated:)

But Iwill not be able to make the deadline in 13/3 Iwas stupid to think it will go easilly in English...
Edit:I need some advice about the emotion I describe whether Iam overdoing it or is it okay...Since Ihave never involved myself with rpg writing...if it is every story will look like it if not then Iwill have to re-write everything(1500 lines)

Deadlines... I'm yet to know who actually manage to make up for them x3
With the line scheme that you and Marrend developed it's looks great, and... 1500lines it's a fair lot to edit... :p

This also may prove useful to write fairly long choices, sometimes you can get wrong conclusions about what is written...

Riho's Route
ID = 0
So why are you still glaring at me?
ID = 5
Forget it. We've got nothing to talk about.
ID = 0
Sure we do....
A: You're rather pretty.
B: Whatever it is, I didn't do it.
C: Did you know that....

BRANCH C
Did you know that it takes more muscles to frown than to smile?
ID = 5
Oh brother, I've heard that one before.
ID = 0
Hey, it's true.
ID = 5
NEUTRAL
...

In the end it was the right choice, but <player> could use a little more caution when speaking with tsun's. :p
Something like this could happen...

Alternate
ID = 0
So why are you still glaring at me?
ID = 74
Don't play dumb about it. We've got nothing to talk about.
ID = 0
Sure we do....
A: You're rather pretty.
B: Whatever it is, I didn't do it.
C: Did you know that....

BRANCH C

DISLIKE
AFFECTION DOWN
Aw, for V8's sake...
#Yeah, she's a car addict, it don't affect the route at all though.
ID = 0
Hey, it's true.
ID = 74
UNFRIENDLY
That's a old, lame, way to hit on girls you know?
I'd better be going now, I don't want to waste my whole break with you.
#You don't want to choose A. :p

Excuse me for my late post; I was held up by eviscerating amounts of red tape.

They are (First name is spoiler) Ryoko, ID 33, Second year class B; Shitazawa Arika, ID 29, First year Class B; and Columban Kuri, ID 87, Third year Class A, respectively. Why would the latter's ID be so high, we'll never know, her creator, talented I might add, posted her half-finished route and vanished without a trace. I've been safekeeping the copies ever since.
Since Ertad reserved the number first, anyway, I propose to change it to 54 for simplicity.

Red... tape... I don't think I really want to ask....

Data archived :3
Do you have a (neutral) tachie of Columban? Miki is blocking the way again.
Vanishing without a trace... That's bad, we have a fair amount of awesome, but unfinished routes... :\
Maybe he'll be back after a year. like a certain someone that was in beta at January 2013 and managed go backward and be in pre-beta now...



EDIT: It may be soon to reserve it, but you guys can let the IDs 77 and 78 vacant for now? I feel kind up to make a supernatural route after finishing Wolfpack. I could make a cat-eared girl, a Vampire, a cat-eared vampire, a cat-eared ghost... The options are endless. :D except for the cat-eared werewolf

Beware the stream-of-consciousness that is this post!

So, I'm staring down at my story outline file for Emiko. I figured I might need the reference since looking stuff up to see what story events did what the long way (ie, paging up and down in the story file) has been a pain.

Anyway, from the looks of things, I've already started her "Hey, maybe I might be interested in this <player> guy" route, so I might just keep going with that until it's conclusion. Whatever that turns out to be. However, these are not the only plans that I am hatching considering.

Let's face it, Emiko's first impression of <player> is pretty bad. The choices/situations players find themselves in would cause Emiko to think more or less of him. Go figure! However, I think I want to allow some kind of "redemption" route that leads to a different ending to be unlocked if players made early-route mistakes. The precise details of what all could, happen is something I have hammered out, obviously, but, this is my general plan with Emiko.



*Edit, @Kevin: Your temporary reservation has been noted! Now, all I have to do is continue making my WILLPOWER resistance check against a mock conversation between my avatar and Dozen's.
Wow Iwas immeresed in editing the story lines(Ended up deleting the whole third part 800 lines because Ifound it half done for what Iexept of myself...) After edit and delete ended up with 580 lines I can proudly look at:)
However at least Ican actually work on the third part with no worries now(Thankes to Marrend:)
Kevincalanor:)
Iam actually used to deadlines(each week writing astory for weekly newspaper)
But in English Ihave to re-check myself on every line triple the amount Iam used to...So Iwas sure month will be good for me to go but...*self excuse mode*
So anyway:) thankes:)
Just to note-Iam not using emote on choices themselves the whole point is that player will be able to choose naturally not with emote help...
Marrend Iwill be glad to play Emiko route when you update again:)

For me they are getting along quite well since Ev.6 Branch A, so I really can see a route appearing nearby. :3
But mine point of view is a little twisted since she acts a lot like Eliza. Which is mine favorite type of girl.
(I can clearly imagine her with Emiko at the club, Eliza 'Momo' Yamisaki? x3 ) They should join Riho and make the Pervert police for real.

ID = Momo
I thought Hayauchi High was full of girls?
ID = Sakura
<b>That's</b> the name of that school! I recognized the uniform, but the name escaped me. Thanks, Momo!


The School's name!! I've been thinking about it for ages. Thanks a lot :D
Now we just have to set up one for the city

Thanks a bundle! Class chart updated. :D
And with this full size maybe I'll be able to copy that jeans too. ^^

Just how many people are going to be in Class A? O.O Well, I guess it makes enough sense, it's the same class as Miki and Riho. ^.^

I almost want in on this chart, but just about none of my character's have a defined place in their respective schools. You could probably put the Kurokawa twins in 2nd year Class B, though, if you wanted.^.^

... on a side note, I get the odd impression that the city is going to end up with a lot of schools at some point. ^.^;

I said I'm on hiatus, but here I am still spending my time just looking at the Heartache forums. =.=;
Before creating new schools there is still amystery to clear...Where is Hayauchi high school in the first place???
Iwas searching in wiki already searched 3 different regions and can't find Hayauchi yet!
Where is it???

You should probably thank Render for this post.

For those of you wanting to know which city this is located in... I have no idea. That seems a bit less relevant, but I guess I could be mistaken.
Well lets say that in the city it is based of there are only 3 schools originally...
And we create 5 schools...and besides the possible school names in the same city is limited...(the question is whether we are imaginary city or based on real city with real schools...then the backround story for the whole city will change acording to what the majority decide...to be based city? to be original with no limits?) we are the writers and we need to decide:)

Food for thought: Since Matsumori High, which is imaginary (as far as I know), exists in this reality, would it not follow that the city that this exists in is, at the very least, somewhat imaginary?

I don't think it's real. ;)

And for the town name, if we really needed it, could just be Hayauchi.
As for other schools, I'm totally for it! I think that would allow an expansion for the town. I feel like if it were to be done though, it would be needed to be done delicately, because fifteen Joruri's would kill me it would crowd up the town events, and make it harder to gain the statistics/traits for the player.

There are town events that don't increase stats/attributes, or a place where you get gifts. Though, that limits event locations to the station, stadium, and the beach.

Or, if one is feeling really artistic, doing PLACE = None with a custom background could be a thing. Though, can't you get PLACE = None events during school? You might have to do a "PLACE = City" (or whatever) event to JUMP into a "PLACE = None" first.

What about somewhere between Osaka and Kyoto?
The area above Takatsuki are clear enough to a city like Hayauchi be, and it's only close enough to someone reach the major towns, plus the Shikansen, by bus or common train.
About Mastumori High, the name gives the impression it's something large... it could be in the "Town B" the larger town that player can go by the train, (With the station, greenhouse, stadium...), or in the same town as the school that Shoichi go. :p

Town expansion... more after-school places is a tricky thing to achieve, Flowerthief already used almost all of the studio-74 backgrounds... and they use a non-outlined realistic-draw balance that is very tricky to simulate. :\
Guess that at least it's possible to remove the R-18 posters of them.
(Tip if you're going to Studio-74, frantically scroll down when the page is loading if you don't want to bump into R-18 material :p)

I used to rip poses and backgrounds from Shira Oka, they look nice, although not seamless fitting, a studio-74 style conversion of a them could and would take forever to make. :s
Couldn't find a background only screenshot... I knew that keeping the savegames would prove useful someday. I'll need to re-install it though. :3

I never saw the event myself, but STORY 37 at Game_stories_8 (Multi-routing Keika and Miki) uses 'Place = none' at school phase.

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.

author=Marrend

You can! And you've actually done it too, with the Joruri events. :P
I was excited for nothing???(Iwas sure it exist somewhere *abit shocked*)
Well if no one can confirm it...shall we go with imaginary?:)
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)
It's ashinto shrine that is without doubt...but as for the god related to it...well just wait:)
Edit:Wait asec two comments happened while Iwritten mine:)
Edit 2:I don't mind that area as you said it's ideal for our little/big town:)
Iwas never thinking about making inside schools events...was only thinking about backround stories...and player don't really have to go that school to meet the girl:)
But it will be fun if more backround will exist:)

Maybe. I just remember somebody reporting to me that they got one of Joruri's (or maybe it was Fran's) sequences in school, and the game screen was blank. Having a blank screen is indicative of "PLACE = None".

Consulting the Book of Armaments Mr. Help File doesn't really clear up when the usual timing of "PLACE = None" actually is. Bad form, Mr. File, bad form!

*Edit: OH HAI RENDER! Damn, that's still an issue with her? I think Dozen had a fix um... there it is, but I totally forget what it fixes. I AM SOOOO BAD AT THIS GAME.

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?
