Actually it starts off with place then branches to none, and then branches to a place again. It's basically Miki putting her hands over the player's face. I'm not sure that makes a difference or not.
Thats other event, I remember this one but cannot track his number or file... on story 37 <player> and Keika are making out at the closet during break.

Hayatsuri high school in Hayatsuri city:) That is fine with me Render:)
So can we say there is also elementary school with the same name?(just afleeting thought:)
As for backround story to places...(I am already planning for some of them...including amiddle and high schools for my future characters and the shrine for Midori route and Shrine maiden route)
Having a Hayauchi elementary sounds about right, this will be our default school for junior high then? ^^
Happily, Studio have a Elementary school and a other shire backgrounds ^^
Re-installed and got some sosc backgrounds, and tried to replace a r-18 poster. Check up the results ^^

To add my two cents to this conversation,
Matsumori High is said to be two hours away from the player's town in Fran's route, and the real school(yes, there is one) is in Southern Tohoku. Also, Akari's pet Moses most probably a Tohoku salamander, on the grounds of symbolism, which Akari, being the Soul type, would make use of. And getting salamanders out of their natural habitat's climate when it can't live in your room(he sure as hell can't, it has zero sunlight and no conditioning;the bills on maintaining him would be insane) is not a good idea.
I would say the game takes place in Iwate, or Akita prefecture, both of which have two isolated towns each, that I know of, with only one High school with access to train which leads to a larger beachside settlement in short enough order that travelling by it doesn't significantly affect the player's time.
I would say this narrows it down, no?
Masako is that you? D:
Serves me right for don't giving attention to Akari
The Shikansen and Tohoku Exprs. passes right in the middle of them, guess there's nothing I

author=Marrendauthor=KevincalanorYou should probably thank Render for this post.
The School's name!! I've been thinking about it for ages. Thanks a lot :D
For those of you wanting to know which city this is located in... I have no idea. That seems a bit less relevant, but I guess I could be mistaken.
Oh lel, and I manage to lose stuff again :p
Thanks Render :3
author=Marrend
Food for thought: Since Matsumori High, which is imaginary (as far as I know), exists in this reality, would it not follow that the city that this exists in is, at the very least, somewhat imaginary?
My brain crashed... was that intentional? :p Got to say is difficult to know when you're kidding and when you're not x3
author=Renderauthor=ErtadI don't think it's real. ;)
Before creating new schools there is still amystery to clear...Where is Hayauchi high school in the first place???
Iwas searching in wiki already searched 3 different regions and can't find Hayauchi yet!
Where is it???
And for the town name, if we really needed it, could just be Hayauchi.
As for other schools, I'm totally for it! I think that would allow an expansion for the town. I feel like if it were to be done though, it would be needed to be done delicately, becausefifteen Joruri's would kill meit would crowd up the town events, and make it harder to gain the statistics/traits for the player.
What about somewhere between Osaka and Kyoto?
The area above Takatsuki are clear enough to a city like Hayauchi be, and it's only close enough to someone reach the major towns, plus the Shikansen, by bus or common train.
About Mastumori High, the name gives the impression it's something large... it could be in the "Town B" the larger town that player can go by the train, (With the station, greenhouse, stadium...), or in the same town as the school that Shoichi go. :p
Town expansion... more after-school places is a tricky thing to achieve, Flowerthief already used almost all of the studio-74 backgrounds... and they use a non-outlined realistic-draw balance that is very tricky to simulate. :\
Guess that at least it's possible to remove the R-18 posters of them.
(Tip if you're going to Studio-74, frantically scroll down when the page is loading if you don't want to bump into R-18 material :p)
I used to rip poses and backgrounds from Shira Oka, they look nice, although not seamless fitting, a studio-74 style conversion of a them could
Couldn't find a background only screenshot... I knew that keeping the savegames would prove useful someday. I'll need to re-install it though. :3
author=Marrend
There are town events that don't increase stats/attributes, or a place where you get gifts. Though, that limits event locations to the station, stadium, and the beach.
Or, if one is feeling really artistic, doing PLACE = None with a custom background could be a thing. Though, can't you get PLACE = None events during school? You might have to do a "PLACE = City" (or whatever) event to JUMP into a "PLACE = None" first.
I never saw the event myself, but STORY 37 at Game_stories_8 (Multi-routing Keika and Miki) uses 'Place = none' at school phase.

Beware the stream-of-consciousness that is this post!
So, I'm staring down at my story outline file for Emiko. I figured I might need the reference since looking stuff up to see what story events did what the long way (ie, paging up and down in the story file) has been a pain.
Anyway, from the looks of things, I've already started her "Hey, maybe I might be interested in this <player> guy" route, so I might just keep going with that until it's conclusion. Whatever that turns out to be. However, these are not the only plans that I amhatchingconsidering.
Let's face it, Emiko's first impression of <player> is pretty bad. The choices/situations players find themselves in would cause Emiko to think more or less of him. Go figure! However, I think I want to allow some kind of "redemption" route that leads to a different ending to be unlocked if players made early-route mistakes. The precise details of what all could, happen is something I have hammered out, obviously, but, this is my general plan with Emiko.
For me they are getting along quite well since Ev.6 Branch A, so I really can see a route appearing nearby. :3
But mine point of view is a little twisted since she acts a lot like Eliza. Which is mine favorite type of girl.
(I can clearly imagine her with Emiko at the club, Eliza 'Momo' Yamisaki? x3 )

I thought Hayauchi High was full of girls?

I would like to think that you're not talking about the Heartache custom content. Though, either version of Uchioniko is fine!
Lel, it's the RPG, I've downloaded the HTC101 Uchioniko when I got back here. :p

But Iwill not be able to make the deadline in 13/3 Iwas stupid to think it will go easilly in English...
Edit:I need some advice about the emotion I describe whether Iam overdoing it or is it okay...Since Ihave never involved myself with rpg writing...if it is every story will look like it if not then Iwill have to re-write everything(1500 lines)
Deadlines... I'm yet to know who actually manage to make up for them x3
With the line scheme that you and Marrend developed it's looks great, and... 1500lines it's a fair lot to edit... :p
This also may prove useful to write fairly long choices, sometimes you can get wrong conclusions about what is written...

Excuse me for my late post; I was held up by eviscerating amounts of red tape.
They are (First name is spoiler) Ryoko, ID 33, Second year class B; Shitazawa Arika, ID 29, First year Class B; and Columban Kuri, ID 87, Third year Class A, respectively. Why would the latter's ID be so high, we'll never know, her creator, talented I might add, posted her half-finished route and vanished without a trace. I've been safekeeping the copies ever since.
Since Ertad reserved the number first, anyway, I propose to change it to 54 for simplicity.
Red... tape... I don't think I really want to ask....
Data archived :3
Do you have a (neutral) tachie of Columban? Miki is blocking the way
Vanishing without a trace... That's bad, we have a fair amount of awesome, but unfinished routes... :\
Maybe he'll be back after a year.
EDIT: It may be soon to reserve it, but you guys can let the IDs 77 and 78 vacant for now? I feel kind up to make a supernatural route after finishing Wolfpack. I could make a cat-eared girl, a Vampire, a cat-eared vampire, a cat-eared ghost... The options are endless. :D

Yup it works,
Did dome play-testing today, Currently at day 35th ^^
Currently playing with Emiko, Noriko and Wolfpack. Shall I PM the authors or just post it here?
About WolfPack... I've changed event 7 to 5 and forgot to change conditions... my whole let's check the day it happens' and 'check stat levels' got thrown out the window. :/
Let's see how it goes with a 8 days delay.

Just dropping in real quick just so no one thinks I'm dead or have abandoned Heartache. I would also like to state that I am still on hiatus as I am working on making a fighting game. I decided against extensive lurking due to the fact that there are 50 new comments since my last post, so I have nothing to add to anybody's anything. ^.^;
I am a little miffed that the ID list doesn't reflect the ID's I requested on the 21st of February, though. ^.^;
I would like to be able to say something more substantial and Heartache related, but I haven't even thought about my characters' and their related stories since I previously declared hiatus.
Heyo, Falcon o/
Oh, sorry if I sounded like that,
Hope things are going well with your fighting game, don't forget to drop a link when it's done ^^ Er... Dozen... I'm allowed to ask this?
Edit: I really shouldn't be playing around with photoshop instead of writing... I blame Marrend for giving me the idea at Okiku's blog
but have some Wolf diplomacy, this is at the part I'm working right now btw. :3

More editing:
I used one or two unavoidable status check, I thinking about make <player> aware of the branching. So it doesn't feel like story is fixing the mess by itself. :p

Using our in-progress content as an example, I would download a copy of Wolfpack, and you would download a copy of Emiko. We would play the routes as much as possible, then leave feedback. Feedback can be in the form of a post on this thread, but it can also be in the form of private messages. My guess is that your preference is PMs.
Pro-tip: It helps to have content to download! *forced cough*
Oka ^^
I agree with the PMs, so we can prevent spoilers. And I'm having a hard time to keep them to myself :p
{Edited} So, I'll be exchanging beta's with Marrend?
Taking that Dewelar is taking, a deserved, break after successfully finishing his route, we have Ertad, Render, BDFalcon, Mute, Lorsquirrel and Dozen to set up if I'm not forgetting anyone (again). So with me and Marrend we can make 4 couples from beta exchanging.
Although Falcon is away for a quite long... and he didn't even explained about how his avatar works. .-.
There's a serious tip you got there, I shall try it ASAP, unfortunately my recents changes are from Story 17 to 21, which is at mid-Neutral state... I shall PM you when it's ready. ;)
Over and out /o

Why does it feel like Iwasn't here for ages???
Iam glad nothing is going to change now:) But the effect of your return is amazing Dozen:)
Iagree Marrend:) Iwas going to play her route anyway and give feedback:)
And is it normal to change pictures of profiles???
Ifinally got used to the...Alien creature Iguess it is called...And now both you and Kevincalanor just changed them as if nothing...At least in Kevincalanor case the concept is still there:)
(What am Isaying anyway??? Its 1:36!!! Ineed to sleep and fast!)
Dozen really knows how to cheer up people ^^ *Side looks at him and Dewelar*
Well... due some mad scientist stuff I'm virtually unable to keep using the same avatar for longer than a month. Guess there's no problem since the username is always the same. ;)
By the way, it's time to you get yourself one char avatar too x3
1:36... Because I work at night, I've decided to pass this night without sleeping, don't recommend at all, almost slept like a rock... On the living room's floor.

author=DozenI'm honoured with such kind words, I'll try to keep it up. ^^
*raises hand with mouth wide open, slow claps*
The best answer I can give. I am inspired.
author=DozenCan do, updating chart... ^^
can you use Kyouki's Neutral tachie instead?
Also I want to ask one thing... There still three chars on the sanity chart that I wasn't able to find info about.
The girl with Izumi, the one with Aoi and that tall one (a teacher perhaps?) in the unstable section. Couldn't find a Ryouko neutral picture too :p
author=Marrend
Anyway, I've been thinking of maybe doing some kind of route exchange for characters that are in-progress, and want feedback. A "I play your route, you play mine" kinda deal. I would like to think that something like this will get a few routes out of the woodwork, but I guess we'll see how fast (or if) content creators jump on this offer.
You know I like jumping into stuff, count me in. ^^
I find it really cool, as I think that a constructive feedback really have the power to pump one into developing a route ^^
How would it work, exactly? One of things that worry me is that larger the number of the people playing the beta, smaller the ones that will play the release version ...
Ps. I may be going off limits by asking this but, how is Kyouki going? :3

I know it's only been a week, and I'm on something of a haitus on the route, but I would appreciate some feedback on the latest release of Emiko at some point.
I keep saying to myself that I'll play it with the beta, but WolfPack is progressing like Windows loading bars. Maybe I should give it a go at once, I've didn't played Noriko's route properly too.
Last time I played the game it was so crowded with CC that just half of the events of each content appeared,
But to be honest, I don't make much of my time during weekends... it can get delayed a bit.
Progress report and image of the day x3
- Replaced Story 18-19 when Miki annoyed Eliza becuase of her nickname with some backstory stuff.
- Eliza's nickname changed from LoneWolf to ShadowWolf.
- Yuriko's surname changed from Kimura to Sakamoto.
- Minor changes to Alessa's tachie, now she looks more like Eliza's sister.

Hey, Dozen! Where have you been?
Oh, I don't know who let that barricade there... well... must have been the wind.
Just in time (or a week earlier to be more exact) for the new beta, it makes me happy and frightened at the same time x3
AS for the progress notes: I'm currently working in another prototype for a adult tachie, this one feels more in-game since it's compatible with the Meduim_build expressions, but atm is looking a little outstretched, maybe because of the compatibilty. (Kind of weird since Luka have only 1,62m,
Also will have to rewrite two or four stories due some new details of Eliza's background, and Miki's gossip.
