RC2 of WingGirl ... I doubt I can find many bugs more on my own since I catch myself starting to skip forward in the dialogs (after playing it for the like hundreth time or so).

Currently I'm thinking about making kind of a spin-off of WingGirl as a seperate project ...

Like giving Kazuhiko a second chance after he failed the twins' test.

If I really find an interesting personallity for her - and a story I consider worth telling - I'd like to make Sawada Merika in a pursueable option in this new project.

It's a bit early - but I'd like to have an ID reserved for Merika for this.

Ah, I seemed to have learn something ... is it correct that in Japanese there is normally nor difference between singular and plural? It's one "kami" as well as many "kami".

That confused my quite a bit with the word "tachie" before.

Is this correct?
Yes, the Japanese language does not use a separate plural form for nouns.

Weird. Well I got used to english words like fish and sheep ...

It also said...

author=Wikipedia article
...later myths include notions of resurrection and even Elysium-like descriptions such as in the legend of Okuninushi and Susanoo.


...this. This is partly why I wish to defer to Dozen on this matter. In regards to Japanese culture and history, she's proven to be several hundred times more knowledgeable about such matters than I am.

Well - seems like Shinto is real old and has never been really formalized into a written-in-stone religion like the ones we are used to ...

Well - I used "oh my gosh" and "what got into you" instead ;)
And several times someone says something like "Ah heck - ".

And as I understand "kami" can refer to almost anything supernatural from spirits and elemental forces to powerful dieties (I wouldn't call Amaterasu a mere "spirit").

About yomi ... The wikipedia article doesn't sound too much like "heaven" in my ears ... more like the greek Hades (dark and not-to-friendly place where the dead go to stay ... not as a punishment ... only because they are dead).

... but this all just between wikipedia and me ... I never been to Japan, nor can I read Japanese (nor did I read any Japanese myth in any language).

Puzzling question (for me):

The game is set in Japan, there's a Shinto Shrine in game.

The chararcters are supposed (at least most of them - nods to Robin) to be Japanese and to be talking mostly in Japanese (translated only for us people in front of the computers).

How should a 21st century Japanese school girl say something semi-religious in this context?

I'm refering to stuff like "oh my god" or "for heaven's sake" (I sidestepped this for my content - but I am still curious).

The girl in question is supposed to have a Shinto background but not being too religous herself.

My best idea for "for heaven's sake - why did you ... " would be something like "which kami made you do ..."

So, wait. Does it just print "than helping her?" in this case, then? Or does it ignore that line completely, as the parser fails to find a graphic in the "Other than helping her" slot, yet does not produce an error?

The line gets ignored completly. No error no nothing.

The first few times I tried the corresponding STORY in test mode, I did not even notice that it was missing. Only that there was something off.

(Situation: Kazuhiko talking with someone about an ex crush of that someone.
The someone says something about no longer feeling anything towards said crush. Kazuhiko replied with "Other then hurt pride?")

Cute little "feature" ... if you start a text line with the word "other" it gets silently ignored.

Like:

ID = 4711
...
Other then helping her?
...

Seems like the game parses the "other", but since there is no number following (like in OTHER1) it does not find a mood to set.

Strangely, this does not trigger an error.
