Hello to the fine Heartache 101 community;

I first checked out the game last year, and decided to give it a try out of pure interest.

The game turned out to be funner than I thought it'd be, and the possibility of extending it through custom content made it even more interesting.

After playing through the custom stories for a while, I decided to try making content myself since I enjoy writing stories and I made custom content for other games in the past as well.

Since college and other stuff are being major roadblocks right now, I can't exactly share something that would count as a beta product, though I managed to make tachies for one of the characters I'll introduce.

Here's a picture of one with an included background (excuse the awkward size):

The background in this picture will not be implemented into the game, of course.


I have something big planned out, though it's going to need some polishing and perfecting.

I'll be able to work on this more when I get additional time.
Not bad. I like the color scheme you've got going with the red-pink-purple. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the character!

Definitely getting an energetic feel from her. Not that I'm suggesting you should have a sequence with that character and, say, Ruri.

Okay, I totally am, but, in reality, it's up to you.

I don't exactly think they would be BFF's, seeing as how this girl has a callous resentment towards Kaza Sei, and...well, Ruri definitely wouldn't appreciate that.

Hrm. I'd think Ruri would fail to comprehend resentment towards Kaza Sei. Which might make for some interesting/awkward situations between the two.

Maybe definitely, although her friend is going to be the one who will create situations where awkward would be somewhat of an understatement.

I don't mean to spoil too much, but I will say that Kazuhiko's path to forming a relationship with her will be unusual compared to what we've seen in the past.
There's something I was curious about, the SOSC Backgrounds can be used in non-Heartache related stuff?

Well, it's not like this game holds any copyright on it. Or Yu's "medium build girl" model that most characters use, for that matter. Though, if you do end up using it for whatever purpose (is someone trying to make their own visual novel?), credit the source!

My vocaloid detector is beeping :O (Okay, UTAU for those who wanna get technical on the matter)

Either way, these are some clean looking drills and the other new parts are looking quite neat. I liked the rocker feel of it ^^

A side-note about using the SOSC out of Heartache, it's fine by me, however these backgrounds are a unauthorized export(prints) from "Shira Oka Second Chances" so they are, most likely, copyrighted from Okashi Studios.

BD's gal makes me think of Rosie (Wyrm Warriors) and/or Mayizaki Nari (Matsumori Days), but, that's just me and my insanity.

Heya, Heartache 101 Community! I've been a huuuge fan of this game for the longest time and have shied away from the community, but alas, no more! I'm going to be making some custom content for this game going under the title of "First Years"! Basically it's a group pack of first year girls. Yeah. I'm not so creative with titles. But here is the titular first year girls.



In order from left to right: Atsumi Matsumoto, Azuka Ishikawa, Yasuna Kagawa, and Kiyoka Miyazaki! I'm currently finishing up their profiles final touches. Hopefully I'll have some content out soon for the game! I did use one the tachie that flowerthief made because I thought she was cute c: Hopefully that's fine with everyone~ thanks a ton in advance!! also i hope you guys think their cute

Also Marrend... I played Uchioniko and absolutely adored the characters. I seriously can't believe you put them in this game XD;; I may or may not have a crush on Mayu ; v ;

EDIT: Forgot to add that their IDs are numbers 101-104.

Kiyoka (101)
Atsumi (102)
Yasuna (103)
Azuka (104)
Everyone who doesn't have a crush on Mayu are crushed by Mayu.

You are more than welcome here, Nedras! It's good to see custom content again! If there's anything Mr Help File confuses you with, it's my hope we can help you!

As for IDs, a brief look at my notes has empty slots between 91 and 100 (non-inclusive). So, we could slide your content somewhere in that range like...

author=ID listing
ID 91 = (reserved for Ertad)
ID 92 = Miyazaki Kiyoka {Nedras, "First Years", unpublished}
ID 93 = Matsumoto Atsumi {Nedras, "First Years", unpublished}
ID 94 = Kagawa Yasuna {Nedras, "First Years", unpublished}
ID 95 = Azuka Ishikawa {Nedras, "First Years", unpublished}

ID 100 = Robin Clark

...so? I mean, the other way is also fine, but, I want to float that option.

*Edit: Also, I have no idea what possessed me to set up the Uchioniko custom content for this game! I guess I felt that, minimally, Ruri would make the most sense for a game like this, and that Shoko might present a challenge? Those two are probably my most fav chars from that game, but, to not include the other two probably wouldn't feel right. Or something.

Okay! If it makes it easier then that's fine.

Do you think you'll ever do a 40ish~ story amount for Uchioniko? You've got some great dialogue and characters in that pack, so I was curious.

Probably not. It's been a while since I've worked with them at all. For example, I've made, like, nine games between when I first made the gamepage for Uchioniko and now. Okay, I'm still in the process with one of them, but, I think the point that I've moved on still stands.

Ah, okay! Also I kinda just realized that I started writing my stories so I'm going to keep the original IDs. Sorry! I don't mean to be an inconvenience or anything.

Eh, it's not a huge inconvenience on our end.

I think I might make a copy of Azuka though and edit her a bit since I'm not too fond of the line-less tachie. Also while I'm here, do you guys have any pointers for writing routes? I want to try keeping the <player> character as close to the one in game.
