Content creation (artistic)

This content is not yet published.

The girl in question (Shika) does not have a real story yet, either (or a reserved ID for that matter ;) ). She's meant as an alternative option.

She's no slacker, no delinquent - just a bit too slow to learn everything she's supposed to by just attending school, but she does care and does want to improve.

She needs help in enough fields to be looking for more then one guy to help her study. But I don't really want her to be dumb-as-a-breadcrump either.

For plot reasons she should be looking for a second tutor because that's where Kazuhiko comes into play.

I changed the history epoch she needs help on just a few years/decades back in time (i.e. a period where everybody seemed to be at war with anybody else) ... which makes it much more plausible (in my humble opinion).

Hmm - hey you gave me an idea ... maybe she's recovering from a serious problem - like a long sickness or a personal lost a few month ago?

Fixed a typo in WingGirl ;) download URL did not change.

So a girl not knowing his name or importance right after having learnt of him in school is definitely too much.

I guess I overdid it with her ignorance ...

Another question ...

Is a Japanese highschool girl who doesn't know the name Tokugawa Ieyasu too stupid to be plausible or could there be someone that ... indifferent ... about there own history in high school?

I vaguely remember that scene from testing/playing Multiending. Though, does it really imply that they are not too far into the year? Certainly not at the tail end of the year, but probably at least not past the halfway point?

I dunno. I kinda think such matters weren't meant to be under such scrutiny, and that we should really just relax. It's Mystery Sci-ence Theater Three Thouuuusaaaand!

Agreed. As I said: Hinami's sign doesn't fit to her claiming to be "almost two years younger" then player. Plus european zodiac signs being not too common in Japan in the first place and other ... specialties ...

I replayed the intro ... there is nothing mentioned about a newly begun school year or something. Only that the bet was started on a Monday.
*nods* I didn't mean to imply that this was explicit within the game, just that this was the vibe it gave off.
By the way: there's one scene in the built-in content that kinda implies they are not too far into the current school year:

If Kauzhiko pursues both Tsubasa and Shihoko he might get a scene where they all talk about skipping a year.

This would totally make no sense if he'd to skip from "2nd year almost done" to "hey final exams are next week".

*EDIT: I'm reffering to STORY 52 in Built-In/game_stories_3.txt btw.

I got the impression that the game is meant to start fairly close to the beginning of the school year, which in Japan would be early April. 101 days would thus put the game end in mid-July, and 151 would put the ending in late August / early September. That seems plausible.

Since the Japanese do not generally use the Western zodiac, I believe artistic license is already at work :D.

I think I'll forget to concern myself with this anymore then I have to then ... Flowerthief seems to have gotten it wrong himself by the way ;)

Acording to some googling on my side not only the school year starts in April (as you confirmed) but the deadline for who gets into which year is April 1st, too.

Hinami - who claims to be rather young for a 1st year student is Gemini. Which means May or even late April. So she should be OLD for her class (she should be almost old enough for the next higher one).

A few thoughts on ages ...

Playing Hinami (built-in #7) she claims she's "almost 2 years younger" then Kazuhiko. This somehow implies that Kazuhiko is on the "old" side for a 2nd year high school boy - which would be 17.

It also implies that Hinami is 15 (maybe close to 16).

Does anybody know (or care in the context of this game) when the school year starts in Japan? Or when during the 2nd school year Miki's bet started (I always thought it was at the start of their 2nd year, but I did only play the intro twice and can't recall it for sure)?

Should I concern myself with the Zodiac signs in this context - like Aquarius is younger or older then Leo ... or would any error here pass under artistic licence?

Content creation (technical)

97 is perfect ;) ... (inverse ID of Mayumi)

I had some time to think about my new project. ...

She'll have a dateable rival ... but I don't have a name for her yet.

That would neet another ID ... maybe for a Nagai Rika.
(That's just from my list of random generated names ... let's call it her working title ;)


* EDIT: Her name will be Nagai Shika. Another ID for her would be apprechiated ;)
