That's a good idea, not only handy but also helps all chars get their exposure thingy.
In the end it all boils down to name and looks on the downloads page*, so it's not hard for the average downloader to overlook someone, for not being his "look type" at first. ^^
*Note: If it had a prologue/description for each char, the page most likely would get huge, impractical and annoying, so I don't really think there's something to change there.

Finished content
So after years of hide-and-seek like develop and stall, Eliza Yamisaki is finally here. (wish I was joking on the years part)
I can't really say it's 100%, but the thing is, I'll never be able to do so, even if it is.
So there ya go!
Base story: A few days after the bet, <player> class is called to a co-work with Miki's class, after, on his own thoughts, being lucky enough to avoid being paired with Nakajima, he's presented to Eliza "Shadow-wolf" Yamisaki, whose name caused a lot of buzz around the class, however, she doesn't seem to care about them, neither about him, and finish by taking the co-op notice on a skeptical, sourer note.
Will <player> be able to use this co-op to his advantage on the bet, or at least complete it without getting much of a trouble?

Note: The pack contains three characters, but two act on support role, therefore there's only one route.
For the people who helped on the developing and beta. May contain spoilers and nuts.
More stall as one would guess, still I looked over a few more events and made more corrections, once again the core of the events were unchanged to prevent plot inconsistencies.
Unfortunately, the attempts of creating a new hair graphic were spoiled, so we'll have to keep with this one.
Last, the .RAR name is the same of before ("Version 2.0 - Release"), but of course the contents were updated.

So on these ten days, I've completely revamped... Bleh, who do I even think I'm fooling?
So. I've took a look on the files, funny enough the one event which I wanted to remove, due an unfitting quote, had already been removed on the 1.1 version. But once there, was no reason to not poke things around.
A few lines were changed to be more fitting/impacting, and some of the grammar fixed, there's still mistakes of course, after all, my English knowledge still comes from the web/MMOs.
Back on track,
For the people who already played the 1.1beta, there's not a lot of new to see, but I can't help to suggest a playtest of the new version of the Event 50, which had most changes, and a music I was reserving for Alessa's route back in the day.
Graphic-wise there wasn't much to tamper with, besides the fun-fact that up to now, Eliza wasn wearing the uniform instead of the day-off outfit at the house event, which has been fixed.
Fun fact: The single glove of Eliza is a heritage from older versions of the story. She would be on the car at the time of the accident, ending up on a major scar on the right hand. Due the psychological effects, she would use that one glove to cover it, and associate it with "leaving the past behind" even though she fails to do so.

My vocaloid detector is beeping :O (Okay, UTAU for those who wanna get technical on the matter)
Either way, these are some clean looking drills and the other new parts are looking quite neat. I liked the rocker feel of it ^^
A side-note about using the SOSC out of Heartache, it's fine by me, however these backgrounds are a unauthorized export(prints) from "Shira Oka Second Chances" so they are, most likely, copyrighted from Okashi Studios.

And I'm back from my not quite eternal slumber. x3
So, as one might guess by now, both Yuriko's route, and Alessa aren't coming at all.
Mostly because writing Alessa lines right are very difficult for me, and Yuriko's route sadly, wasn't much more than a Tsubasa's rip-off.
And considering that Monogatari's are way more famous than I thought back in the day, I won't get away with it.
I could rest in peace with those two mixxtakes, getting carried off by pointy ears is not new to me, but...
Even though the beta was 95% complete, had a nice amount of downloads, informative reviews... Eliza route was never officially released, and "Those who don't finish their content never rest in peace" one would quote.
Cheesing it out saying "RELEASED!" right now would be sorta lame though.
I'll tweak some lines and graphs here and there, there was a small, but persistent, to-fix list remaining after all.
So long story short, two cancels, but one back on track. ^^

the next question that comes to mind is if I'm okay with doing the replacements you're presenting, Kev. I probably should be, just to make the game friendlier in general. Yet, a part of me says not to mess with this at all!
Thoughts?
Maybe the choice of images could be improved, I dunno. Running around and editing stuff around without any kind of notice beforehand, although effective for an add-on/extra content, is not exactly the right way to do something to a possible patch.
If you, or anyone else, have any kind of suggestion, or feel uncomfortable with one of the images, please don't hesitate to say it.
On legal issues, I think that unless EA games or Atari come by we're clean. (Studio-74 allows modifications on the backgrounds, or so I'm told by google translate) ^^
author=Marrend
I'm still ambivalent about it. Maybe after the game jam is done, I will give this a bit more consideration.
Alright ^^
Also, any news about the guy known as "this guy" and his HD icons?
author=BDFalcon
Personally, if I could modify the game I would use Kevincalanor's BG material in place of the other BG's in question. Just my thoughts.
Anyways, hello again everybody! I STILL HAVEN'T DONE ANY STORY CONTENT!!!
I have, however, created some more random tachie stuff through modification of materials, including parts from Kevincalanor's DarkComet_Model_2.psd. Mostly alternate outfits for a few characters.
- Custom outfits -
Well, that's about all I have to report. For some reason, I have trouble actually focusing on making Heartache 101 content for more than a couple days. =.=; Oh well, absolutely everything else I am working on right now is making slow progress as well, so... Yay.
A tank top! How I forgot to make one? D:
For the shorts... I wonder if it's possible use a texture as overlay or something alike, although simple for now it still looks nice ^^
The one that most impressed me was the parts combination-modifications on Rie's both hair and costume. There's a lot of modifications here and there and it's fits so smooth, and cute, that one could easily pass them by as original pieces. 10/10 *-*

I suppose I would be slightly more agreeable to that. I would still prefer some kind of commitment to the community from him even before agreeing to it, though. Or I'm just crazy.
I have to admit that I would be safer about it if he wasn't known only as "this guy" x3
The major problem with people coming out of nowhere, is that they can disappear as fast as they came. Motivation bursts amd surges, lost track of how many of them I had/seen in mine "mad scientist" carrer. :s
Maybe he could appear here, talk up, show samples, do stuff. I dunno. Maybe I'm being a overcautious about it.
The only thing I'm sure atm, is that it's late and I should be sleeping already.

So, I paged through the various backgrounds to see which ones were the most inappropriate. The convenience store and train were the ones I knew about. Aside from those, I'm a bit iffy about the Hawaiian restaurant.
I ended up leaving it behind because it wasn't explicit, but yep, it's still quite problematic.
Played around with some pictures and filters, it should do the trick. ^^
Funny enough, using RL pictures don't work well. So I used an old screenshot. It still is Oahu. :P

He wants to edit/modify the "core" images. Which I don't think is an issue, so long as players have access to the game's resources, and the file names (and formatting) are retained. However, the method I am aware of that would allow such access to those files would also allow access to the code-base. Which, in good conscience, I cannot allow just anybody to access!
Most certainly, the code-base is... Blast, the code-base. It's meant to be secret. x3
I don't know how much testing the guy known as "this guy" would need, but I think that would be better to simply give him a extracted copy of the images instead of the core access. He checks, modify and send the icons package back to the staff member who will recompile the stuff and upload the "2.6HD version" x3
author=Marrend
Though, wait, now that you mention it, wasn't there some modified-from-Studio-74 backgrounds that were posted? I vaguely recall seeing some, but I forget who authored them!
They're here on a post that completely lacks any type of presentation, -2pts to the author.
But... If you look closely, three manga covers, an Ikusa GT icon (from Burnout Paradise), and Pom is there, is that allright? :p

Also of note, somebody on the official site wanted to take the icons and sprites and do an HD upgrade?
author=flowerthief
But as for the guy who "needs" to know how to change the game images, wouldn't it be nice to know what he "needs" them for?
author=Marrend
"If we don't want just anybody making custom content, then, why would we want just anybody being able to get to the game's resources?" So, I'm probably going to ask for a sample (or three) of what he/she/it/they/whatever intends before making any decisions.
Did anybody said images? D:
Now seriously. If I got it right, this guy wants to remake the school day and gifts icons, so it's more of a patch than a custom content, requiring a main game update from Flowerthief instead of a simple add-on like the routes.
In any case, I agree about getting some samples and checking it up. ^^
Adding two cents to it, if this succeed and you guys are going to change the "core" images, would be a favorable time to remove those explicit images from the backgrounds. x3 Either using the currently available alternate or a brand new one.
They are quite bothersome in a few locations, and make the game look 18+ to some people. :x

Still around too, stalkin' around and stuff ^^
Well, Let's be honest... I was delaying my posting hoping to be back with some good parts, story or such but things haven't turned well lately.
I kinda question what I've set to Yuriko's route and my abilities to write off Alessa lines, so sadly the release of both other routes of "wolfpack" are still as off the chart as they were before.
About Eliza route, sent a PM (very recently) to Render about the translate, last progress report she sent me was really good lookin', and then again, is was huge load of text to check over, guess we could send it up as it is.
The beta is pretty much the final version, but I want it labeled as completed :p (hopefully, before it completes 2 years since the first beta was released)
And Falcon, I think you should include the edits up on the pack ^^
Things that may look simple for you might not be as simple for other creators for a variety of reasons, I remember reading on an ancient post about people trying to set up tachies on Paint or something like that. x3
Also... All my attempts to make/edit twintails falied. .-.
