Indeed. I just looked it up, in fact, and it is Story 22. Although the exact -how- that happened is beyond me.

Perhaps it was just the save file being corrupted through some impossibly stupid event where I exited the game while it was saving (knowing my luck, that's the case.).

Marrend: Got it. Revision #infinity of those two lines...

Dozen: "automagically" is not coined by me. And fancy words and my brain don't work well.

Well Nami isn't exactly distancing herself from others; she isn't exactly going after friends either. So she's kinda a happy(ish?) medium.

And yes, a Shoko/Nami conversation would be very strange, mainly because Nami would pretty much ignore Shoko standing there making motions. She hardly notices when the player is talking directly to her, for crying out loud! Of course, if Shoko somehow makes it obvious that she's "talking" to Nami... That could be interesting.

And I'm just gonna make Takuya say only her first name (and the player automagically knows her last name (like the name event with Tsubasa)). She will say her name with first name first.

She isn't so much mentally unstable as just antisocial as hell.
Asocial, you mean. Antisocial would mean she's an agressive, remorseless liar, not a weirdo outcast.

Ok, ok...

And metally unstable? Well, she's probably stable right now, but how sane you are at any point is not tied to your stability. When unstable, your mental well-being worsens, but you don't get better when you aren't just because you aren't; if that was how it worked psychiatrists would be out of a job. Expecting a mind to fix itself is like expecting a computer to fix itself - it's a silly notion.

It's not like it's the end of the world because i used the wrong word... >.>;

There is no such thing as a completely sane person in real life; you call someone's mental state disordered when her daily life is impeded by the way she thinks and feels, and hers obviously is.

Nope, she's content as can be with being "asocial".

I wouldn't dare to say what she has just yet, but she has something.Edit:Scratch that, she's schizotypal. Silly Dozen, not realizing the obvious.
It's not unusual to consider someone sane when she isn't, personality disorders are usually shrugged off as eccentrics until it's too late. I'm talking from experience here.

She isn't schizotypal, or at least not on purpose. She's simply content with having no friends. It's just that this causes the social awkwardness visible in the events.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Does this even work? I don't recall hearing anything like this from Mr. Help File!
Yup.

Character customizer had "<relation>" in the defaults for those two lines.

What is in development, anyway? From what i've read, we've got a pseudo-murderer, an all-in-one girl, and a girl stuck in a time loop (if i understand that correctly).
Who's the all-in-one girl?

Meiga.

We have Kyouki, who has my disorder, developed by me, obviously. Ryoko, a sort of villain/anti-hero for the game, is also under pen - her route is more of a team effort. We have LordNight's Ghost Squad, Triad's girls(Yoko the inventor and mad scientist, especially, and Seira, the 'pseudo-murderer'), Fran the Dream Vestige from Marrend, and semi-secret projects by Nekochi. On the sidenote, Junko's and 21's routes are being renovated.

Ok then. Noted.

I find it mildly interesting that I'm the only person who uses RMN's locker-space to store characters. Anyway, second opinion time!

I noticed i even had that after i already uploaded her to sendspace.

You know, it's funny. At one point, you're all like...
ID = 39
OTHER2
NAME KNOWN
Ah. It's <last> <first>.
# Because that's how Japanese people say names. Don't look at me.

...then you get even lazier on us with...
ID = Takuya
That's Nami Momohana. She's a second year student here.

Since obviously this is causing some issues with you guys i'll just make her introduce herself with first name first.

You seem to be vaguely aware of Japanese nomenclature rules, so you could, at the very least, be consistent with them.

Alright. See above.

One more thing to note. This time, about the profile:

CUSTOM 68 = Oh, so my <relation> is your friend as well?
CUSTOM 69 = Oh, so my <relation> is your friend as well?

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Does this even work? I don't recall hearing anything like this from Mr. Help File!

Only in those two lines.

Yup.

Why isn't this in the "special tags" section, and more importantly, why haven't I seen this used before now?

Maybe I'm the only one who uses the customizer? :?

Another strange one? Isn't that fantastic. Maybe we should name our setting "School for Sufferers of Borderline Clinical Cases of Mental Disorders". Honestly, I half expect a bunch of scientists to pop up and study the area to find out what causes the ridiculous amounts of crazy stuffed into the townies. Not that I'm complaining(or have the right to with my clinical and criminal record), but I find it odd since you probably don't know what else is in development yet.


flowerthief started it. *cough*akari*cough*. She isn't so much mentally unstable as just antisocial as hell. And also assumes that you aren't talking to her, even when you are.

What is in development, anyway? From what i've read, we've got a pseudo-murderer, an all-in-one girl, and a girl stuck in a time loop (if i understand that correctly).

Anyway, the first stories are too short; someone this odd should set off the player's inner comments like firestorm. It got better later on, however, and I've seen a lot worse. I'm sure you will have no trouble fixing that.


Hm, I figured that could be left to the player proper. I can always add some thoughts in on the character's side.

There are also a few typos, but proofing is my job, so unless you want to, don't care about it.


Typos... Typos... Don't see any. Could you be more presice?

And lastly:
author=GloopMaster
# Because that's how Japanese people say names. Don't look at me.

Cut that shit out, it's not funny. If anything, it's offensive(though only mildly, but I prefer to warn before the situation escalates) to those who use the eastern name order, and anyone with cursory knowledge of Japan. The union of these two categories includes, well, just about everyone here(didn't you notice the names on the ID list?).
Ah, and in case you disagree, please retort with an argument, not undecipherable swearing or telling me how I suck at something completely irrelevant.


I figured I might as well make sure that anyone reading that in the editor doesn't come at me with the opposite argument, that I wrote the name wrong. I can remove that quicker than I put it there.

Do note that the story is FAR from complete. Tell me what you think about the character.

Contains: story, profile, tachie. No music, can't find anything that goes well with her. I used a builtin sound theme.

Play with clean mode on or off. Makes no difference (at this point)

Am I allowed to ask what the color blotches on her skirt and blouse are?
BloodHehe, not really. She's 'wearing' Seira's uniform that was splattered with paint when the Player ran into her. In layman's terms, Meiga is every girl from any point in time in the game at once, so while technically she's wearing all their clothes ever at the same time, it's the only set of clothing that doesn't exist anymore, thus to avoid an unnecessary paradox we cannot maintain, she's forced to have it donned. Which also means she doesn't have any underwear, naturally;)

Seems like that could lead to some... interesting scenes. Especially if she "inherits" Tsubasa's apparent clumsiness.

The thing is I don't want it from scratch if that can be avoided; I'd like it to be edited from Character 27 on flowerthief's post here. I would like it to be essentially a "surprised" tachie for that character.
I can do that, too(I have the half-finished suprised tachie at hand, in fact), but it's much easier to do it from scratch if you want other changes. Messing a single part is one thing, recoloring is also quite easy, but completely reshaping the char when you could just use the base material is a waste of time. Also, Meiga will probably take offense.

Her smile barely conceals the darkness inside.
Tell us what else would you like to change, and then we will decide if we rework the current pictures one by one or use the template.

My confidence was crushed a bit, but Dozen's right. Fran's a train wreck. I'm not even sure why I bothered to post her here at this time. Arguably, I should have posted her on the more artistic content creation thread. Anyway, let's not dwell on that, and let's see what commentary I have off-hand.

That I somehow didn't remember that I took out the alternate INTRODUCE event for Masako and Tsubasa that were in Fran's story? Just... ugh! This is why testing is necessary, people!

It is slowly occurring to me that I'm not really giving a reason why the player would want to free Fran. "It's the right thing to do", while a viable reason, doesn't seem like it's enough. It needs to be something more personal. Which segues into Dozen's point about Fran having an actual connection with the player.

My original aim was to have Tsubasa and Masako work together. However, doesn't anybody else get the feeling that Masako's doing all the work? I want to balance this more, so any suggestions on this would be appreciative.

A collaboration, huh? I'm not sure about that, but having someone to bounce ideas off of would be nice. Though, that is what the more artistic content creation is supposed to be about...

You're making Masako do all the work because Masako is your character. ;)

Uh-huh. So you can change it, but you can't, at the same time, somehow, and also you don't want the hair color, yet don't want to recolor it either. Now it all makes perfect sense.

I thought it would be an easy task; I was wrong.
And the hair of <i>Marrend's</i> tachie wasn't what I wanted.

(Boredom abounds!)

EDIT: That would error though, because "GloopMaster" isn't a defined profile. ****.
