GARAGE'S PROFILE

Content creation (artistic)

I don't believe there was a public PSD release for her outfit, specifically. For what it's worth, the thought in the back of my head is that you could probably try using Garage's tachie generator. I found it slightly more user-friendly when it comes to editing particular parts of the outfit, rather that doing it through GIMP, or what-have-you.

I believe the most recent version can be obtained via this post, as well as the accompanying PSD file from Kevincalanor.
As far as I know every single tachie for the built-in girls (as well as almost any custom content) is derived from the same .PSD which has later been improved by kevincalanor (and maybe a few others) ...

Even the tachie for she-who-may-not-be-named (the girl you're looking for).

My above-mentioned set of python scripts is designed to make generating tachie based on this .PSD somewhat easier.

Ah, I see, just had to wait a few minutes... which, mind you, is still quite a bit :P

...and now the credits are taking a while -_-

...What's a non-generic ending?
An "generic ending" is what you get if you reach at least LOVE with at least one girl but you - somehow - don't complete any route.

It consists of a monologue alone on a beach during sunset, remembering an all too short and not very deep "puppy love episode" from high school, wondering what went wrong.

A "non-generic ending" is what's called a "true" ending in other games.

Um.... I've waited for a decent amount of time, and clicked, and it was just stuck on the heart around the character );

Maybe you need to hit space a few times too, or click more then once ...

If you ever finished one route you should wait through the complete "credits" screens ... after this you'd be able to activate "clean mode" which allows you to disable the build-ins completely.
Hahah, I've never even seen the credits tbh. The endings I've gotten are the ones with a heart around the characters face, and the didn't finish any routes (by using sleep ring before getting anywhere, took about 2 weeks, that one.)

If you get the heart around a character, you have finished her route and seen her ending (sleep ring or not). After that you just have to wait-and-click through a sequence of credits until you're back to the title screen.

This screen will then look something like this:

Note that there's an additional option "Story Test" ...
The next time you start a new game you'll be ask if you'd like to enable clean mode and then if you'd like to raise the time limit to 151 days instead of 101.

Technically speaking, it's possible to edit the "records" file to enable both 151 Mode and Clean Mode. Possibly without even playing the game? I don't recall if the file exists before running the game for the first time, or not. I would generally advise not messing with it if you have an active game. At any rate, do to this...


...open the file with Wordpad, or other text editor. I usually wipe the contents first (hence why I advise not messing with it with a game active), but, the main thing to change is very first character. Make it a "2" instead of a "0" (or what-have-you). That should enable both Clean Mode and 151 Mode.

Oh. Didn't know that. Might save me some hassle one day ...
(You can mess-up the record file just by playing and editing content ...)

I disabled most of them and am playing one at a time, which fixed it. It's probably just a problem with a certain character/pack/whatever it's called, so yeah. Bit of a shame, though, because meeting 23+ characters in the first couple weeks was awesome.

Yeah it is. But you probably won't get anywhere with anyone. A girl like Riho has over 100 stories (well including bonus scenes, phone calls and text messages which may not be strictly needed to complete her route).

And don't forget you need to build up their affection which normally means frequent interaction with "your girl" and rising your stats takes time, too ...

There are other events like this on other routes involving the build-ins. Plenty of it.

Jesus christ. There's an event that takes 3 girls into account....

That's some incredible depth.

A lot of the 2 girl events seem to take place very infrequently or at random locations, though, which is annoying.
You're talking about the routes of Miki, Keika and Riho, I guess?

About those infrequent events ... when I ran into them I regarded them as a kind of "bonus scenes" ... they're something fun, something unexpected. But they're not needed if you just want to complete a certain route. And they're something which makes the original cast outshine our humble additions.

BTW: there's at least one other event involving three girls which is way harder to hit because it
requires a secret girl.

Eh, not quite, I don't think. She heavily implies it for a long time, but she didn't start referring to me as her boyfriend until she brought me to her uncle. Not sure how far along her route that is, as I haven't finished it yet.
If I recall her route correctly, that's pretty far down the road.

author=TheMoonlitShadow
Maybe failing to talk to her boyfriend messed up the route? I didn't have Per high enough for that.
Failing a girl's statcheck usually means failing her route; but maybe opening an alternative route to abother girl (that much is hinted in some helpfile I think.)

I'm only aware of exactly ONE build-in route that allowas you a second chance.
With custom content it's a different story (pun intended).
