There is now a website you can use to share your custom content with other users! But you're still welcome to use this page to share and discuss content.

Below is a list of finished custom (user-made) content. To add these characters, in most cases you can extract the downloaded file to the game's main directory and you're set. Depending on how the author has organized them, it may be necessary to move files to the appropriate directories. (Custom content has not been tested by me)
Note: After new content has been added, old saves won't be compatible.

If you have posted custom content in this thread, I will (eventually) add your link to the list above, along with a small screenshot if you have included one. Be sure to test your content in-game before posting.


Helpful things:

--> Medium build girl, the .psd that was used to create the built-in characters, is available with layer names in English.

--> Not feeling artistic? You can use any of these images for making custom characters.

--> Notepad++ with syntax highlighting for Heartache 101 can be a big help with story creation.

--> If you are writing story content that includes the appearance of existing characters (built-in or custom), the following list may be of reference:
ID 0 = The Player
ID 1 = Nakajima Miki
ID 2 = Ikeda Keika
ID 3 = Onishi Tsubasa
ID 4 = Kaneshiro Shihoko
ID 5 = Kaneshiro Riho
ID 6 = Sato Akari
ID 7 = Hiraoka Hinami
ID 8 = (Secret character)
ID 9 = Watanabe Junko
ID 10 = Mitsuya Masako
ID 11 = Monotami Ruri
ID 12 = Nemoto Mayu
ID 13 = Terakado Shoko
ID 14 = Shirazu Izumi
ID 15 = Watanabe Aoi, Lambaria Yuu
ID 16 = Ran Fujioka
ID 17 = Torako Koizumi
ID 18 = Yumemi Tanno
ID 19 = Umehara Joruri
ID 21 = 21 Ways
ID 22 = Kirinashi Kyouki
ID 23 = Reserved for Nekochi
ID 24 = Reserved for Nekochi
ID 25 = Kuwabara Emiko
ID 26 = Reserved for triad2
ID 27 = Katanashi Seira
...
ID 30 = Vacant
ID 31 = Maeda Eriko
ID 32 = ? Genji
ID 33 = Vacant
...
ID 39 = Vacant
ID 40 = Konohana Midori
ID 41 = Natsume Rika
ID 42 = Vacant
ID 43 = Vacant
ID 44 = Hasegawa Kanon
ID 45 = Vacant
...

(Note: You don't need to care about this list if your story events will not include existing characters, as ID numbers for characters in separate files don't have to be unique)

--> Finally, I've listed the game cheats here. You can use these during story events to test your content:
SHIFT + F5 -- Adds 10 to Looks
SHIFT + F6 -- Adds 10 to Athletics
SHIFT + F7 -- Adds 10 to Personality
SHIFT + F8 -- Adds 10 to Mind
SHIFT + F9 -- Adds 10 to Soul
ALT + F5 -- Adds 1000 to yen
ALT + F6 -- Active speaker's affection decreases by 100
ALT + F7 -- Active speaker's affection increases by 100
ALT + F8 -- Advances the calendar by 1 day
ALT + F9 -- Advances the calendar by 7 days

Quad-tech? Pfft! Septuple tech!


*Edit: That took a bit of digging!

Ah, haven't play this for a while, safe version of Katawa Shoujo....jk.
Huh. Now that you mention it, there are some parallel aspects...

Akari and Hanako: Shrinking Violets
Hinami and Misha... and Miki... and Emi too... How many genkis do we need?
Keika-Rin: In the clouds, both of them
Shihoko-Lily: GOOD NATURED(!) populars who like the player for unexplained reasons storywise
Tsubasa-Shizune: Well-done-daughter Smartasses
Riho-...? Wait... Impossible! Katawa Shoujo has no Tsunderes in it O.o! Wow, was Four Leaf the groundbreaker...
What is amazing is that Heartache only has one built-in tsundere, considering how much I love tsunderes. (The phrase "sour into sweet" is sort of a giveaway of that fact)
Oooooh, have you played Sharin No Kuni? I don't like the tsunstun-type that much usually, but Touka is the nicest thing in the universe. Couldn't even bring myself to play any other route.T.T Ririko may qualify as a Tsundere too, but what do I know. Also I'm afraid of Houzuki. 'Hey that Eri seems like a nice girl' *BOOM*. ?ss. The scariest most evil ?ss. I know it was just to make him antagonistic, AND IT WORKED DANGIT.

Quad-tech? Pfft! Septuple tech!

Does not qualify, not in the game. Sure as hell should be.
Dozen, are you psychic? I'm in the middle of Sharin no Kuni now!
And yes, Touka is my favorite :) But I got sucked into Sachi's route somehow. I thought it was one of those games like Cross Channel or Fate/Stay Night where you have to do the routes in a set order, and that once I finished with Sachi's I could do Touka's. Now I just want Sachi to finish that damn painting so I can move on :P The writing in the game was extremely witty for awhile, but it's starting to drag. It's as if their writer quit in the middle of development so they had to get random guys at the office to finish the script.

Okay, enough being off-topic.
Dozen, are you psychic? I'm in the middle of Sharin no Kuni now!

I'm crazy. About the same thing. Just one last comment on SnK: Reason To Be I-II are awesome and may make you fund a revolution. You will understand that, eventually. I told you so.

And since this post supposed to be about Heartache I am announcing the fact... that I'm making progress. Hey, you did not know for sure, I don't like keepin' people in the dark :P


My-my-my... How rude!

Septuple tech with my own creations? Wait, Masako, Ruri, Mayu, Shoko, Izumi, Emiko, Joruri. Yeah, that's seven.

No! KILL THE THOUGHT BEFORE THE BLUDGEON STRIKES!
Edit: There was a question. I answered it myself, so it is here no longer. Sorry.

I saw that question! Not that I remember it very well.

Then again, was I not accused of being sneaky earlier?
Not a charge I heard of. If that's your definition of sneaky, then it was a falsely given title anyway. What's up with the new avatar? Where is it from?:D

In this post, I charged myself with being sneaky. And I kinda was, if you think about it.

That emoticon tells me that you already know the answer to the question of the identity, and source, of my current avatar.
Flowerthief, can I set encounters off and then set them back on without a location-specific event? Like this, or some other way?

STORY x
CONDITION = DAY x
ID = x
ENCOUNTERS ON

I'd like a hiatus in meetings after/in-between some events so the story makes more sense.
Hello everyone. I figured that I should try my hand at creating some custom content of my own. Also I might answer the question regarding the ENCOUNTERS ON command, I could be wrong but I don't think that it is possible to set it on without having any location specified. Instead I recommend using the location Front A or Front B so that the event will be triggered right at the beginning or end of a day.
...Genius! Thanks!:D And Gods, Flowerthief, your game is getting more and more popular by the minute!
Oh, and I've been playing around with the model file that is available for download. Here are some tachies for what might be one of my future characters. Introducing Sachi!

MOR CHARACTERZ! NUM NUM!

Er, I mean, coolio!
I do wonder how many of this will get published, tho. It's great deal of fun now, but when we get so many eager developers for a project at once, about half of it ends up scrapped. Then again we can always pick up half-finished works, so it's all good:)
