Welcome back, me...
*tears through the barricades*
I've read everything, people. Apparently I was away so long some people are unaware I (supposedly) run the place. Which is frankly weird to me, I left out half a year that one time. But, I'm here and now ready for duty. Though, everyone is so diligent lately, I don't see what kind of running I'd need to do. Aside from the critique(to dewelar especially, having been due to... a month, now? Damn me, I became my own foil). All I can say is, everyone's doing a good job, giving it their best, and reflect upon themselves when they make a mistake. Which is all I wanted to achieve here.
Rest assured, I'm still here and care for what goes on, even though I only read. Nothing to fear(not that anyone misses me outright... but the worry warms my heart<3), if anything displeases me, Marrend can attest there is no force stopping me from screaming, and that's... the only thing I can do competently, which is oddly both kind of a let down and reassuring.
Decidated and underwhelming to you all, overseer off.
Dozen! You're alive! We've been wondering where you've been. It's good to know you're still here.

*hiding behind the rest*
Nice to meet you, Dozen.
*coming up front*
My name is Ertad(Its my pen name-no actuall meaning)
So... what happens now?
Nothing in particular. The CCO is willing to scream at your content and possibly you if you feel like having honest, brutal feedback. Otherwise, just continue as normal.

If you're forcing yourself to write, it's probably going to show, and the quality of the writing is going to suffer. You have to let it come to you naturally.
That's what I've noticed, anyway.
Pfft, if I were forcing myself to write I'd be almost done with the route. This is good advice, though. I just wish the ability to write quality ideas would come more often.

I know that feel... I argue the whole week about how work prevents me from editing, and then I often find myself loitering around on the weekends.Finished Crysis 2 last week.:pI'm playing Realm of the Mad God.
About throwing and creating stories, that's normal, the current Eliza route is actually the 3th time starting from the scratch. I cannot even believe how her lines were written at the 1st one, she was behaving paranoid to a irrational degree, and her violent side was way overboard...
Kinda worried now. Shizuka used to act way too casual and became friendly with the player very early, now she runs from the player like he's the plague. Those are the words he uses, and it's intentional, but it might be unrealistic. Or maybe I'm just too scared and everything is fine.
It's probably the former.
I generally have random ideas when listening to music, and then write it straight away on the files, (not a efficient way to do at all, some events took four reviews to actually sound like Eliza :p )
It absolutely certainly helps to be the character you want to write. Not really, but while you've got free time, imagine yourself talking to the character in a bunch of random situations, watch how you think they'd react, and note that down mentally or on paper.
One thing I like to do is type up stories that don't happen in the game but could happen. Write them from different perspectives. If you're writing your characters thoughts and actions directly, in word-only format, you really can understand them.
Basically, constantly subject your mind to your characters and the stories and sooner or later ideas, thoughts and possibly motivation will come.
It just occurred to me that's what you said below.
Keep thinking/developing your chars and the base plot, stories will pop up soon or later, as Marrend said, nothing is going to come if you force yourself to write. ;)
Read the reply to Marrend's post. Also, I actually wrote two stories since writing that post. :D
As a little progress note.
I'm trying to make a (young)adult tachie, it's a little far from being complete but have a preview ^^
How and if I'll use it on Wolfpack depends in how it goes.
Note. You can't date a teacher in Wolfpack. :3
She's cute, but she looks a little weird. Not necessarily wrong, just strange. It's a personal issue, don't listen to me.

author=KevincalanorI'm making such little progress. Some time ago I decided to axe all 35 of the stories I had written and start anew as they were really.. bad. Or that's what I think, anyway. Almost three weeks later and I've only written.. 8 stories. There's all this free time and yet I feel more like doing something else..
This sudden silence is sort of creeping me out.
So what you guys are up to? Story progress, custom parts, tests... ^^
I'm currently re-checking tachies and musics while trying to create some courage to review 2 thousand lines of speech ;-;
Latest Emiko downloaded, but except of a few story-tests I've didn't played the game lately... It's part of the whole laziness complex that hit me lately. :(
Eliza's route will have about 50mb unzipped, It's a little more than I've wished, but there's a fair amount of tachies (and a CG) and songs totry toget you into the story. ;)
I don't actually write stories much at all. All day, I scribble notes down on a piece of paper or type them into a text document, and I think of ideas, and I occasionally test the stories in the game, and I go back and make some of the stories better, and I refine them, but I can't really write stories.
TL;DR: I'm a lazy, unmotivated fuck. I haven't really written that much.

Okay, it's time. Things are very sporadic about this route, but I would to re-INTRODUCE somebody.
-emiko-
Remember Kwabara Emiko? Of course not. Nobody played her. Well, I'm trying to fix that. First-and-foremost by giving her graphics that I won't feel ashamed of sharing. Second, by giving her a storyline that might actually be cool. Probably.
What I have of the re-imagined route can be found here. Please download and discuss.
Awesome, Emiko took the watermelons out of her shirt! :D
But seriously, I like her new graphic. Your stories are always pretty entertaining, so I hope that this story is interesting as well.
Emiko.zip is being downloaded.

The split being before like state sounds good, as you'll not have to route both to achieve Megumi's ending.And they will not throw food at each other.
But seeing two girls get all angry with each other can be dramatic and entertaining. And also a little depressing, depending on the outcome..

Oh okay. But I had all my stats above 60. Wow, that means I have to increase even more.
Every single stat was above 60 when you found the notes? That should definitely have passed the check.

Does anyone knows how to make acondition where you need to choose acertain choice in acertain story? Imean its not from the same story but because of different info you get from choices her way of speaking or knowledge about you or yours about her will change.
Let's move this to a PM. This should be in the technical thread.

author=Marrendauthor=MuteHaving the same family name does not mean that they are from same family.
...Wait, Yuriko Kimura? ..Should I change the last names of my girls to something else, then?
True, but anyone playing might make stupid/crazy theories. Although I guess that's not a bad thing.

author=KevincalanorOh wow, that t-shirt you made there is really good. Also, the color of that hair tie goes pretty well with Yuriko's purple hair. She's adowable.
Hello Ertad and welcome to the forums ^^
I guess that she the very first char that don't go to the player's school,matsumori high maybe?, which is very interesting ^^
On a possible down side, all her events will have to use high priority on these locations and makes me wonder about player stats, as you'll have to chosse visit her or gain ability points.
A few Front B (End school phase) events can help up with these ^^
Hand on the cheeks...
Emulate the shading on the sleeves are one of the hardest things when editing tachies. Removing them is quite simple, butunless she's a vocaloidit will look out of place on a Sailor uniform. :/
So, funny enough, the only way to make one is changing her outfit to a sleeveless dress x3
Not sure of how right it will look. Any shades give some work to emulate.
As a "preview" here is a casual t-shirt I made to Eliza some time ago. And taking the slipstream, I want to present you guys Yuriko Kimura, she will take Rachel's place on Wolfypack, as there was no need of Eliza friend be a exchange student.
(Her name means well... that I've played a quite lot of games and like to copy names from there)
Thumb feature doesn't work with dropbox :\
That's it for now, need to check up mine tachies, someone replaced Yuriko mouth with a stick on Neutral pose... ;p
ps. We have a blonde Android on the school and I didn't knew that? :O
...Wait, Yuriko Kimura? ..Should I change the last names of my girls to something else, then?
Ai is blond, but she is not an A.I :p
One more thing. Today should be great for those who have love interests.

author=Marrendauthor=BDFalconUh, okay.
... feel like I should stop talking about this on the Heartache 101 threads already. ^.^; lol
*Edit: Now BDFalcon has a random avatar too? Or am I just noticing this?
AHHH! STOP DE-RAILING, MARREND!
You just noticed this.
Since I don't want to de-rail any further, I just wanted to let you all know that my girls had their tachies redone. The previous ones were messy, with fugly outlines around the hair and tons of unnecessary expressions. The new set is much simpler and clean. Here are some of the tachies for both.
