CloseAfter actually looking at it, and seeing some of the CGs in there, I don't feel as confident about putting it into an RMN-hosted download on a gamepage. At the bare minimum, I'll put a NSFW tag/warning into it's finished-content-page description.

author=Marrendauthor=SwedenSpeedwayThe link on the finished content page seems to function. However, as you point out, she's packed in with the official custom content download.
Anyway, want to get back to the game and try some of the content that came out in 2018-2019. But to my horror, the Robin Clark download link doesn't work anymore.
EDIT: And I found out the old Custom_Content zip file still had her. Emergency over, sorry for taking up your time.
Speaking of, maybe the OCC download could take an update to include flowertheif's Kakyusei pack?
I was planing to do exacty that in December, but I got sidetracked somehow ...

Unfortunately, some of the content never got finished, but thankfully, enough of it still lives on. :)
Very happy about that fact. Also very relieved to see this community still has some activity, albeit smaller than back in the day.

Hi. Sorry. Old fan, lurker. Haven't been around for years. (I asked if animated gifs worked once, can't remember when).

Not entirely sure I should drop this here, or not. However, if you are/were a fan of Uchioniko, the Heartache custom content TM, (C), patent pending, this may be of interest.

How or what yours other projects you suggest i give change?
Games by flowerthief? I tried Idolcraft some time ago, but, the real-time clock didn't sit well with me. I remember giving his other game, A Hint of a Tint a try. That was even longer ago, so I don't quite remember as much. For what it's worth, they are both highly-rated games, averaging four stars with four reviews each.
As it happens, this game also averages four stars, but it's got seven reviews to it's name. To say nothing about the sheer number of downloads it has versus the other games mentioned.

It's unlikely that I'll put in all 13 of them.

Kakyusei pack v1.1.
The only changes are in kak_stories_mizuho and kak_stories_shizuka, so if you already have 1.0 you need only replace those two files:
kak_stories_mizuho.txt
kak_stories_shizuka.txt
The one notable addition is an npc who occasionally shows up at the beach to dispense hints.
Is this maked clean mode on or off?

Yeah... Without inventing new conversations that weren't in the original game, I have no good solution for this. I could split up conversation stories that normally appear in the school phase into school or phone, or provide both a school and phone version, but implementing either strategy could get ugly.
When in doubt: don't. As I understood your motivation, this project is more or less about translation / porting to HTC and not supposed to be your fanfic or such. So it's probably best to stick to the original as much as possible.
Ikr? It was one of the reasons I selected Shizuka to be in the pack. Those exchanges are fun, especially when the pc starts gaslighting her with double entendres.
Sounds like I should try being a little bolder next time ...

And there seems to be very few PHONE/Bedroom stories ... which is a bit sad since I usually try and upgrade my plan at least once. (And they're a nice way to get to know someone outside of school)

Speaking of: I really like the "Counceling session" events with my new favorite teacher. They're not too much interfering with normal school events and they add a nice touch.

author=flowerthiefBy the way: that NPC is - of course - still there. Only that their hints aren't all too helpful for characters without stat checks ;)
Thanks, Garage. Good stuff. I'm a sucker for endings too.
One issue I'm reflecting on is that it's too hit and miss to find the dating CG events. With most CG in the latter half of the game coming from dating events, this might make the latter half feel slow. The solution I lean towards would be to add another picture-less NPC who dispenses hints. The original game in fact had such a thing.
A few other things that I'd like to bring to your attention: most of the new girls don't have all their "CUSTOM" strings defined. Especially not for the "can I ask a question event".

As for general feedback:
They should show more variation in facial expressions during events. The way you did it with the original cast of HTC - these girls felt really like they were ALIVE. Your new characters lack a fair part of this quality. (And yes I do know how much easier this is said than done)
On my first (and up to now only) run I got Mizuho and Miko more-or-less without trying and (with plenty of luck and not before DAY 125) Shizuka. I missed out on Mayumi somewhere and failed to try getting closer to Reiko. (At least I gathered some pointers about where I failed them - I guess)
I consider this "balanced" in the sense that Mizuho (and to a degree) Miko are seemingly meant to be easy and I was concentrating on Shizuka, who's supposed to be hard to get.
So only almost getting her in a normal-length game on the first try is about perfectly paced. (If I went for her again, I'd know what to do better to speed things up).
For my taste there were a few too many panty shots, frankly. But all in all the GC were a nice addition to the game, made things a lot more interesting and relatable.
And I'm a sucker for endings (yeah that's probably just me). The three I watched provided a nice glimpse on how things will play out after the end but they're pretty short.
