CloseAfter a lot of sleuthing me and Tsubasa finally got the culprit!
It was on the Shihoko-Eliza multi route, feature the were cut out of the beta. With this bad guy finally on the trash bin I can get back on my way to fix the final details on Eliza's route and later write Yuriko's.
Edit: About the conditional errors, found out that I've forgot to write the story ID on a bonus event, so the game understood it all as part of the branch A. Way to fail Sataro!
Here he is
"PERSONALITY DOWN 5"
Off to laugh maniacally down the halls :D
PS. Yay! Emiko update, downloading :D

This made my day. Maybe even the week. I don't even care if you don't know the reference.

I just came up with an idea for Makoto of how her personality should be. However I'm going to rewrite some of the outline I have for her. And, the best part, is that I will have free time to write her story soon. So her beta should be due in a few weeks or so. Just thought I'd update it!
How's everyone else's routes?!

Mine have still gone absolutely nowhere! ^.^ (in terms of anything tangible anyways) Don't mind me, just doing my periodic "I'm not dead yet" lurking session. ^.^

Mine have come to stand still. Can't seem to get myself to re-write the 5+ hours of work I lost when my power went out.
I don't want to advance on my plans with Emiko until I get some kind of response with her latest release. Though, maybe what I'm showing of said plan isn't enough to get you people to see where, exactly, I'm going with it? I... have no idea.
Eh, we'll see, I guess.

Downloading Emiko!
Also, I'd like to reserve IDs 54-57 with the names being...
Asuka Shikimori - ID 54
Sanako Shikimori - ID 55
Yasuko Nakao - ID 56
Usagi Sasaki - ID 57
(Their given names are first, while the surnames follow.)
I plan on making these four as a custom content bunch called "Clique". This bunch will be required for Makoto. I'll eventually add Fujiko and Megumi. For right now though, these four will be my main focus. I'll eventually show pictures of the tachie when I finish their emotions. ^_^

Oh lel, Power surges, destroying dreams one at a time...
The funny is no matter how many times it screws my work, usually on PS, I always let hour like gap between saves.

I usually do the same thing ^^
As I'm getting very lazy these days,
Potentially spoilerish feedback
I can see the why the worry, never got to know Fran but saw the... straight, feedback by Dozen.
I had a similar issue when making videos from games once, and it makes me think that bring it back it's a good idea after all, get the concept right and show the story true potential. And Emiko is probably the best person to use this one.

Concept aside, it's all well written as expected ^^
I would never understand the 23 condition without the comments x3

Just finished reading emiko route(Icant start agame right now Iterribly messed up my file and it gets all kinds of errors until I complete the whole story writing and close it up)
Ihavent seen that direction coming:) was sure you will go with hacker stuff:)
Your ad know no bounds right? lol
For some reason it feels like it became abit hard to finish Emiko story now... Istill don't see the reason Emiko is the one who is locking the ghost(do Ineed to hide it or not? that line I mean because of spoiller related)
By the way what is better? since Irealised some of my characters are too much involved with each other Iam not sure anymore whether to finish them as data base? or keep on with calling them by their nick?

Hold up. My notes have somebody already at #54. Reason why is in this post. I have no clue who made Columban Kuri, but that's beside the point. In any event, we only need to increment these IDs by one to accommodate you.
@Ertad: I think you're a bit confused, so here's a small bit of clarification under spoiler-tag.
Emiko's not the one trapping Fran. It was some other power a long time ago. Though, Fran is of the belief that Emiko, as Orcale of Askigaga, can free her.

It took me a while to figure that all out, let me tell you what.

Are you saying you want me to take them one at a time? I wasn't sure if I could do this or not, but I thought we could because of what Ertad did with his characters.

No-no-no. I meant that you would add one to each of the IDs you wanted to use so that our ID listing would look like...
author=ID listing snippet
ID 54 = Columban Kuri {?, unpublished}
ID 55 = Shikimori Asuka {Render, "Clique", unpublished}
ID 56 = Shikimori Sanako {Render, "Clique", unpublished}
ID 57 = Nakao Yasuko {Render, "Clique", unpublished}
ID 58 = Sakaki Usagi {Render, "Clique", unpublished}
...that. Which it does.

Isee now:) in that case Iwill wait for the next update:) Iwill see how you explain it inside game as well:)
I keep expecting a post that reads something to the effect of "Darigaaz, Marrend, stop before you go any further!"
Not that I have anything against my current plan, but the complications involved are quite daunting. Though, again, that assumes people can read what my plan actually is, given what little I've shown of it.

Even if someone were to tell you that, you should continue writing. It's your story to tell, isn't it? It looks interesting so far..

So today I opened up Heartache 101 and tried clean mode. The only custom content that was turned on was Masako's and Uchioniko's. However when the first Uchioniko event popped up, I only got introduced to Ruri and didn't get to see the others. I know this isn't an issue with the Uchioniko pack itself because it works fine with clean mode off. I'd just like to get this issue and/or bug known for future developers, etc. So now, I won't be able to make my characters available for clean mode on. ;___; Oh well.
Well thanks Marrend. By the way... I have yet to reach for Emikos file, but it will be soon!
Also a note to Kevincalanor, great content so far with Eliza.
She's a great character that has a lot of variety to her. Keep writing, I'm interested as to what the other routes will be. And also, if you need help with grammar mistakes OR spelling, I'd be willing to help. ^_^

I got to the part where I asked Yuriko (I'm not quite sure if that's her name.) about the fight with Eliza and some guy on the track team. Well, and then, I got yelled at by Eliza because she overheard a conversation between the player and Miki.

Render, that Clean Mode bug has been around since the last time this game was updated. Which, unless I'm mistaken, was back when this blog was written? Darigazz, that was a while ago.
Anyway, as much as I would love to get that fixed for Emiko-testing (as well as Masako and Uchioniko), I have no clue where I would even start in fixing it.
Yeah, I peeked at the code once.

Sooo... I'm gonna go ahead and ask a very late question that I personally consider is incredibly stupid of me to ask as I'm sure I can learn the answer myself just by doing a little backtracking, by possibly even just a page or so, and by remembering that Ertad listed a Magical Girl as one of the characters that he is planning on making however long ago and no one batted an eye over it and since, ultimately, we individually decide what we want our stories/characters to be thus making this whole thing irrelevant and that I should just ask the question instead of ranting:
Supernatural Story Elements = Okay? ^.^;
-EDIT TO AVOID DOUBLE POST-
Also, I've been wondering (and be sure to tell me if you think this question is better suited for the technical thread) is there any practical measure that can be taken to ensure that the players downloading your character can't easily view the associated tachie folder? I only wonder as such due to the fact that my works will very likely have spoilers contained within said tachie folders.

Definitely! I mean, Masako? Uchioniko? Emiko? All have some kind of supernatural element. It's not really outright stated in Uchioniko that each member thereof is a magical girl, though.

Sounds like a "technical thread" query. As to the issue, what you can do is try to set the directory where the tachie is stored as "hidden". The one worry I have is that Heartache might not be able to read hidden directories. So, if that doesn't work, I'm not sure how to help. Outside of a warning that there are potential spoilers in the tachie directory?
