Whoa, this quite a lot of buzz. xD

About the machine of discord, yep, that were unnecessary, but to be honest I saw the comments before the story, and I thought it were way worse... :p
You guys are too straight sometimes, I remeber of flowerthief calling dozen attention about it once, although this is kind of how a overseer need to be, ya?
Anyhow this thing is already settled.

I really like her dialogues, they're really natural and her theme fits great with them. *-*
As a suggestion, maybe the first story can use a bulit-in base music until Megumi appears, as the silence get's kinda odd after three lines, a "ambient" classroom sound would do the trick too, but I don't have any idea of where on could find one of these... :p
So, don't let the whole machine stuff (As a heads up, yep, I agree in cut it out) prevent you from keep it up, you're doing great. ^^


Ps. I shouldn't be reviving the discussion but... You have to agree that convenience is store IS lewd.
Studio-74 (where nearly all backgrounds came) is filled with R-18 material, and their backgrounds reflect that.
Flowerthief handpicked the usable ones, there's still things that shouldn't be there on the backgrounds... It's more noticeable on the store, but there's even a poster on the sick room. I thought about making a fix patch for them at least twice. :p

Edit: And... a wild post appears, seems that I'm taking to long to write as always...

Yay~! It's here! Here's a very beta version of Megumi.

It's only about 18 stories, but I wanted to make sure I was heading in a good direction. But I hope its okay so far, I'm quite the perfectionist so I'm pretty anxious about this. But, yeah~!

Woot! that was fast ^^
Downloading right now :D

author=Render
Yep, yep! Did you only want me to check the story file? Oh well! x3 Also on Eliza's origins are quite interesting--I ACTUALLY did see one of the pictures you posted of her from "Extinction." But yeah, as for that anime you linked I'll have to add it to my animes-to-be-watched list! (I went to the Holo link and got interested in it >.>) But in Megumi's character she's suppose to be a raccoon yokai, but that won't apply in her Heartache 101.

I was only thinking about the new ending stories, but I'm sure that the people that download it will be as grateful as I am with you fixing it up x3
Is that all files is a little too much text to look up xD
It's one of my favorite animes, and Holo is my favorite anime char, Eliza got some serious influences by her x3
(although she's far to be a copy, one does not simply "copy" Holo to begin with...)
A Tanuki ^^ She's a trickster then? Well, guess I'll figure it out when the download finish. :3


Last but not least there a little thingy to you guys ^^
Takuya is here (Now with right expressions) :D

I've set His ID as 100, my sugestion is to write his files using both ID and the name, so you can keep the black font. He using the same color as the girls looked weird :P


ID = 100
UNFRIENDLY
ID = Takuya
It's taking forever to work this out.

Encounters are turned off. No custom responses, signs or whatsover, working with that generator and zooming certain locations to fix the tachies was awkwardness enough for one week. I'll never complain about breast shading again... ._."
I'll gladly accept any updates/suggestions/fixes for it though. ^^



More images (with Miki): 01 02


PS. The File and folders are named Built-out cause they're meant to be updated with any other unofficial stuff we come up next, like Masashi, the 1A girls, Hinami brothers and so on... ^^

EDIT:
Also!~ I remade Megumi's tachie set, since I didn't like her appearence nor did I think her appearance fit her personality. So!~ Here she is...



Seems that you have been buzy all this time. ^^
Her last tachie was tending to "she's very inattentive and doesn't aspire for much" , now is more to the "have a dry wit at times, and, at some points be a little irritable."
Looking great so far, I'll be expecting further updates :3

author=Render
To Kevincalanor...~
I fixed the grammar issues in the profiles file. I got about 1/4 of the grammar fixed with the ElizaMain. Btw, I see those EARS, is she a Yokai? I swear she looks like a fox yokai and now I remember the "wolfypack" part. Is she a wolf yokai?


Whoa, you're going to check it all? That a quite lot of stuff to fix. xD
About the ears, I'm thinking a quite lot about that, although not really important to her own route, one can (should, as there's no supernatural elements on her route) just consider that those ears at the pic are fake and things are settled.
I have some future plans that may require the truth behind Seiko's lineage, she will be a Half-yokai or a descendant of the Deity Holo.
It stills undecided because the reason of her ears on her original history "Extinction" just can't happen at HTC (She was a target from a experiment due her combat skills) Tried to make a RPG out of Extinction once, but didn't went too far, I don't know anything out of the complete ordinary at RPGVX after all :p

I wonder if someone walk by the spoiler hide tags x3

I mentioned it earlier, but I hadn't been able to upload it at the time of mentioning. I now have Mikari's town wear in an acceptable place, aesthetically. There's still some stuff that needs to be done (mostly some additional shading and re-cutting the bottom) but yeah. I will also start using the hide tag for images so as not to take up so much space.


I really need to re-cut the bottom.


Bwah! Falcon got another custom part set up! A Cute one! I need to create something and fast x3
Seriously now, with some touches at the points it'll be perfect, it's cool you managed to make a completely new outfit without too much radical edits. Yup I see the tie x3

I may have mentioned this sometime ago, but then again, you need to release a .psd or something alike with these custom parts. Spread the power and the awesomeness to the authors! /o/
Said the guy who is keeping two outfits and one char on hold without a reasonable reason

author=BDFalcon
Yay, someone said something! Ahem, I mean... Ya, I mostly added text so I can give people just a wee bit of a feel for my characters and their personalities, since I'm having an odd amount of trouble actually writing them. Regrettably, it's not really much of a feel though, seeing as it's just a small blurb of text that's mostly obscured by each of their heads. ^.^;

Lol yeah, I spend some time staring trying to figure what's written behind their heads. However it was fairly easy to read (and rofl) with Haruka's fairly straight message. x3

PS. Made some more little progress on Eliza, got some forced multilines done. Your wait may be compensated with a bonus screen or something alike. ^^
I want to release her ASAP now that we have v2.5 :3

author=Marrend
Okay, I see what you're doing. Though, it would probably be better off for you to have a CONDITION = 15 DONE in "game_stories_7.txt" as part of their INTRODUCE story, and do something like...

ID = 0
(I see two female students. Wait a sec. I've seen these two before. They were the ones that were all creepy about asking my name, and Miki inadvertently told them!

...or something like that.

I don't really like the idea of tiding a route to something that far on the game, never got into Hinami's route while playing to be honest, but it would be weird if the event play through normally with <player> knowing her names and record, guess I'll have to plan it more thoroughly. :p
Secret agent Morita is clean though, and I love the way that report sounds. ^^

I'll let this set up for now, same goes for Yuriko.
author=AlessaMain.txt
#Bump into Alessa on the Hallways
STORY 1
#Met Alessa thorugh Eliza
CONDITION = 22 DONE IN ElizaMain.txt
#Met Hinami one way or another, this will prevent problems further on.
CONDITION = 22 DONE IN game_stories_6.txt OR 65 DONE IN game_stories_6.txt
PLACE = Hall A

Oh crap, I'm offtracking away form the finishing touches again...

I went on and spoke with Takuya about the girls at 1A, and he got me these reports from the council.
Here they are, keep your eyes open if you see one of them around x3

There's a report of a third one too.

author=Marrend
Darigaaz, "Onamae Ferdinand" sounds terrible. "Onamae Kazuhiko", however, sounds slightly more legitimate.

Lol, that's quite direct :p
However, Onamae Kazuhiko indeed sounds better, Ferdinand stand out too much interchange student or something alike, also some new chars currently use <player>'s old name "Ferdinand as a gag now. ^^

ps. I keep stoping and staring/reading Falcon's avatars, guess I'll end up copying that too eventually. :p

Edit: Finally got myself back to work on the finishing touches, I'll be taking the beta and replacing it with the updates, because that folder name change and stuff will likely cause more bugs, and I already have enough of them.
I'll be working on Takuya tachies along, there's a small probability to Yami come with him.

When(if) I get that set up, I'll make a separate file with only him for developers. Also I was thinking in go on ahead define names/appearances for the long known "jealous girls of 1A. They don't play a role on Eliza route though.

author=pegaso
It's cool to see Takuya now but I do see your 'two steps forward' problem. It's an image perspective issue. A fix would be to add as much to his legs as the girl beside him, allowing you to see the other hand completely. (Eliza? Is she new? I didn't find her in the Tachie or playthru yet...) The problem to that is the top of his head being cut off, and the image program you are using may not allow for that anyway. If you shrunk him down, his head would be smaller than the girl's. It's all a bit of an optical illusion. Of course, if it is consistent with the other males in the game, then it would just be one of those strange game things and not really a big deal (to me).

I'm not suggesting to make a Tachie for Ferdinand or make him visible, since he is our POV, but, what do you think he looks like? I imagine a larger boy, not fat, but tall (his apparent nickname is 'big guy' after all), with almost permanent messy brown hair. Am I far off? (I'm planning some manga pages, is why.)

That was exactly what I was wondering about, yup, all that. x3
So shrink it is ^^
Not sure of how long I'll take to deliver some results at the pace I'm now :p

Yup, I posted that sketch of <player> ago (It's just a outline), I just followed the avatar you have in game on the dice phase.
About the Height, I think that he would be kinda average, taller than the girls but slightly smaller than Takuya.

Eliza Yamisaki is currently in beta version because her developer have weirdo motivation shortages on the last steps, he'll get a surge eventually and finish it up. .-.
On the good side the route is pratically complete (few tweaks and custom ending predicted for the release ver.) There's a DL link on the first page of this thread. ^^


Edit: Decided don't ask why, to dig deeper into Height stuff, and ended coming up with this:

(Oh crap, since when Eliza got that big? She was supposed to have 152cm .-.)

- 1,5 adds the 1/3 of the char that it's outside the screen (below the imaginary 2,66666... mark)
- I came up with this constant (4,1625) considering Riho's height as 156cm, same as Hirasawa Yui from K-ON!
- Screen border (480px) equals to 172,97cm.

Anyhow here's Takuya (or at least was supposed to be him) and Eliza ^^

I don't believe Takuya would scowl so coldly, even if he's upset. Also his face is more round, not close to be so hawklike.

Teheh, my bad, I'm quite used to meanie faces on chars xD

However... about the position, is that allright?

ps. Couldn't find anything else to download beside one or two trials of other versions. Nothing really useful. :\

Wah! Falcon got ahead of me again D:
The new clothes are looking awesome, funny how the stripe makes the skirt look brand new *-*

author=Marrend
Just thought I should share this tidbit:

--Offical Site comments--



Messed around with it ^^

It fitted better than I expected regarding to style and shading levels, however, there's a minor recurring problem...
The Medium_build shows a fair about of the girl legs, you're able to fully see even the medium skirts, it's not a problem alone, but when you try to import something it always seems that the imported person is a couple of steps closer to you which is kinda weird.

Anyhow here's Takuya (or at least was supposed to be him) and Eliza ^^



Ps. Found quite a buzz about the program used and stuff, I'll try to investingate and scout for more useful stuff, don't get any hopes up though. As if anyone would. :p
