GARAGE'S PROFILE

*Edit: Don't worry about the picture either. That's my job too.

In that case: the stories 7804 and 7937 both have all the girls in them.
(But be carefull with 7937 please as it contains spoilers)

*Edit: here are some examples for nice teaser-pics (unresized screenshots):

While I was at it I uploaded a fresh version of winggirl ("development snapshot")

*Edit: no longer available to save space.

@RukasuWYZ: in your content the player seems to have "Sato" as a last name ...

Did you find this somewhere in the game or in these threads or has that been your own decision?

Very interesting, since Sato is also Akari's family name...

In a post lost during the server-down he did mention this as a mere coincidence. The only other content I know of that mentions a last name of Kazuhiko is Riho claiming she likes his name better then Kaneshiro.

A few pages ago I found out you could use stuff like STATE = DISLIKE or STATE = LOVESICK for changing the tachie displayed in the heart.

Alas, there is a side effect: the game itself sometimes uses moods in generic events or even DATEs.

(Just take Mayumi on a date and try to kiss her, while she's not ready for it - she'll change her outfit and grow a few inches ;) )
*Edit: this has been fixed in the next version

*Update: I did a few testing. Abusing STATE= like this is neigh impossible to do in any usefull way. The states DISLIKE, UNFRIENDLY and LOVESICK all are used by generic encounter / dating code.

Namely:

• DISLIKE: reaction of a girl that does not want be kissed at the end of a date

• UNFRIENDLY: used several times, for example if you just walk away from her.

• LOVESICK: successfully kiss her at the end of a date.

You can't use LOVE either because jumping from LIKE to locked-at-lovesick is kinda weird in most stories (and you'll need at least LOVE for a ENDING).

And NEUTRAL, FRIENDLY and LIKE you'll probably need for a normal character development.

@Garage: The "guess the twin" idea is a good way to start off the route. I dunno by how much the route should depend on it, though. Like, the CONDITION of having them be both at FRIENDLY as a check to confirm that <player> can tell them apart seems a bit much to me. However, since we do not have access to game-variables, or have the ability to create counters, maybe <player> only needs to identify each one correctly at least once? I dunno.

You only have to get one of them to FRIENDLY:
Were you able to tell them apart, or did you just randomly chose one?

Currently, randomly chosing one might succeed more often then not, because AFFECTION DOWN has only half the effect of AFFECTION UP

I could fine-tune the length of that game easily by having some AFFECTION UP's before the start of if or by using something like AFFFECTION UP/DOWN 30 or even 40 inside the guessing game. Between NEUTRAL and FRIENDLY are 150 affection points. So by warming them up a bit before the guessing part and using AFFECTION UP 40 the number of correct guesses could be toned down to - say - 3 times.

Having him to identify each one only once would be too weak for my taste ... but maybe I could change the style of this phase by adding more variations (not using exactly the same "dialog" over and over).

The whole idea serves two purposes: storywise the twins won't accept any partner who can't tell one twin from her sister.

And the other purpose is that both Kazuhiko and the playing person need to know this to learn their secrets.

There are a few (important) scences that depend on Kazuhiko's skill in recognizing them as indiviuals and not just "one of the twins" or "both of them". (including the ending).

And as Takuya said - there is only one right choice. By the way: it is not explicitly stated, but Kazuhiko is not the only person in-game who can tell Mayumi from Sayumi.
