If you happen to be in charge of the ID list (I believe the people in charge were Dozen, Marrend & flowerthief), I would like to reserve the IDs 51 and 63. That's Kimura Shizuka and Kimura Sachiko respectively.
You require proof of work, right? I hate to spoil a little bit, but there's the descriptions on some previous page, my girls' tachies, and a snippet of story below.
May I have those IDs reserved? If not, that's fine..

ID = 0
(She starts humming some unrecognizable tune. It's both calm and somber.)
ID = 51
Mmmm..hmm..
ID = 0
(As she turns her head toward the window, she asks..)
ID = 51
What kind of cloud do you like?
ID = 0
I dunno. I don't think about clouds very often.
ID = 51
You should, a little bit. They're nice. Cloudgazing helps relax one's eyes, and..
Well, it helps me gather my thoughts.
ID = 0
If I had to say, I guess standard fluffy clouds, the ones that look like cotton candy and don't come with rain.
ID = 51
Cumulus, you mean?
ID = 0
I don't remember the types of clouds. That was fourth grade or something.
ID = 51
You're referring to cumulus clouds.
I like nimbus clouds.
ID = 0
What kind of cloud was that?
ID = 51
Like.. low-level clouds that cause rain and snow.
ID = 0
Ah.
You do like rain.
ID = 51
OTHER2
Snow is great too.

Decided to post this character, since I'm seeing some headway with them. I did sorta post her earlier, but it was mostly just second handedly.
Presenting Tsuchitsuru Airi!
-snip-
Don't wanna spoil it and stuff. Of course, revealing more might help the community to give me suggestions... Meh.
Airi is really adorable, and I have a bit of a sweet spot for shy girls, so bonus points. ^-^
As for the other point, if you want suggestions, feedback and testing, you can get like one or two people you trust to give feedback and testing before the character is released to the public. It definitely helps to have someone else's point of view.

We expect quality work when you publish, which does not at all mean you should publish. As long as your creativity draws breath, you can keep it in development as long as you want. Development hell doesn't exist for Visual Novels. No need to feel guilt over it.
I'm feeling development hell, but not in that sense. More in the "torture" aspect of hell, rather than the "limbo" feeling development hell generally implies. Sometimes I feel like I'm just a young stupid boy unqualified to be writing a story about romance, especially since I've never experienced romance. Other times, I feel like I'm writing garbage and no one is going to like my work. Sometimes I feel like I can't get a single idea out of my head or I'm just too lazy to put them down.
"Maybe this is too fast." "This doesn't make sense." "That's unnecessarily spontaneous." "Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong." There's only like two scenes I've written that I'm confident about.
I think I'm a little worried that my creativity will not draw breath, that I'm doing something wrong. Oh well, I should continue. At the very least, it will be an accomplishment, some form of contribution to the Heartache world and it will be something I can enjoy.

author=dewelarJust wondering, is the issue with that music file specifically, or is it your media player that isn't working? I'd assume the former..
Any luck yet?
*continues wishing*
EDIT: Some ideas:
1. Move the file from one computer to another and see if it works there.
2. Perhaps converting it to one type of audio file and back to MP3 might work.
3. Reinstall/update your media players.
4. Google more possible solutions.
I dunno what's causing the issue, but it's only on your computer as it works on other PCs just fine. If you've already tried all this, then I'm sorry for repeating failed ideas.
The music piece is simply too awesome for you not to hear it.
author=DozenAny progress? What have you tried?
*cracks fingers*
Sounds like a job for me. Wish me luck.
2-Day DO SOMETHING Challenge!
If custom content for someone else's game counts, then I guess I did do a little bit of something to it. Woop..?
Nowhere near as much effort as some other people on here in 2 days, but it's something.

I asked about this during the creation process for Noriko, but at the time it was kiboshed. Would love to see it happen.
Hey, cool, I've actually been missed :) . Happy New Year to you all! I've been lurking, mostly, and also sulking a bit over not being able to get Dozen's music file to work :( .
More seriously, I was pretty busy over the holidays, and doing some writing (mostly working on my Katawa Shoujo fanfic). I also played/read about halfway through Heartache 101 with a friend of mine who's blind (I'd been trying to get her to play ever since I got her into VN's in the first place), and she mostly went for interactions with Riho. We might do another session in the future when we've got a good long block of time.
Lots of y'all have been missed, and some still are being missed.
What do you mean by being unable to get it working? Are you unable to download it, or unable to get it working in the game?
Also, huh, I saw that post over in the KS forums and didn't think you were also reading Heartache 101 to that friend of yours. Did you tell her about your custom content? It might be cool to see what she thinks of Noriko eventually.
Anyway, welcome back, I guess. i can't help but make unmanly sounds upon seeing your avatar.

author=MarrendAnswers in bold.
Commentary on Mute's command suggestions:
I may get behind the "SHOW CLOSER ("SHOW NEAR"?) and/or "SHOW FURTHER" ("SHOW FAR"?) ideas, with the proviso that character graphics wouldn't get any bigger than their original dimensions. As for "SHOW DOWN", I'm not particularly enthused with that idea.
This would require that the tachie file is the largest possible and is shrunken when normal or far commands are used. Oh, yeah, forgot to include "SHOW..", SHOW.. normal? Near? Not too far? D:
The only way I see "SKIP X DAYS" working is if <player> gets hospitalized. Technically, we have characters that might do this. Mayu and Yoko come to the forefront of my mind. Gameplay wise, it would probably function in a similar fashion to the build-in cheat code that advances the day. So, no loss of affection, no heartache meters go up, whatever other bad stuff would happen if players fail to land on "girl" spaces during a normal day.
That's one idea, but alternatively, there could be something like a school vacation. I dunno.
The "SKIP TO (phase)" has been a thing that has come up from time-to-time. I don't have particular strong feelings about it, and I forget what flowerthief has said about it in the past.
Okay.
So, I take it BEFORE SCHOOL and AFTER SCHOOL would be an alteration to the PLACE command? Such as, PLACE = Station AFTER SCHOOL or PLACE = Children's Park BEFORE SCHOOL? I could see them as a CONDITION lines, but it makes more sense the other way.
Either way could work.
I can see uses for TIME PASS, certainly.
The "ERASE TEXTBOX X" sounds like our "Wait" command that's inherent in RPG Maker XP. I'm not sure if "FREEZE TEXTBOX X" is a necessarily a good idea. If it's just one window of text, well, maybe. If* text spills over two windows because there's that much text to display, that's a definite no-no.
Good point. One would have to be careful with the use of the command, and make sure what they need to stop the screen for is short enough to fit in one window.
At first, I was thinking we could just emulate "OPEN/CLOSE EYES" with a TIME PASS X, but that's not necessarily what these lines intend. TIME PASS would not allow any text to be displayed until the screen comes backlike Awwky!, whereas this combo would allow <player>, or whoever, to have a line (or two) about... whatever.
You understand. :>
"ADD (item)" seems really, really strong to me. I mean, I like the idea of being able to hard-code Chocolate Lady sequences in places she doesn't normally show up. Still, this seems potentially game-breaking in all the wrong ways. Though, there is the point that are publicly posted built-in cheat codes, so, um, I dunno.
There was a similar dispute over the (Attribute) UP/DOWN X commands. Perhaps bonus orbs and tokens could be removed. But for items, it'd make sense. The girl can have a gift, too.
I can see TEXT COLOR (R,G,B)" useful for when there are multiple characters that have speaking lines for the purposes of differentiating who's talking (outside of the name window).
"FOCUS =" just seems weird. I dunno. I'll have to think about it moreeven if, ultimately, I can't do much about it.
In Noriko's route, she slowly shifts from enjoying debating to enjoying poetry. Accordingly, MIND to SOUL. People's interests can change over time. Perhaps make it a "(Attribute) PROC. = (A-D) command. Changing proclivity ranks, you know.

Some command ideas:
"SHOW CLOSER"
Increases the size of the currently shown tachie to give off the impression of it being closer.
"SHOW FURTHER"
Decreases the size of the currently shown tachie to give off the impression of it being further away.
"SHOW DOWN"
Moves most of the currently shown tachie below the window's boundaries to give off the impression of it being on the ground.
"SKIP TO (Afternoon, Evening)"
At the end of the scene this is called in, the game will skip right to the City phase (if you put afternoon) or the phone call screen (if you choose evening).
"SKIP X DAYS"
Once called, X amount of days will be added. Like, if it's the 70th day, and "SKIP 3 DAYS" is called, it will become the 73rd day.
"BEFORE SCHOOL"
Instead of events in the school morning being restricted to the Front A location, any event with this command will start before school.
"AFTER SCHOOL"
Instead of events right after school being restricted to the Front B location, any event with this command will start after school.
"TIME PASS"
Upon being called, the transition animation is used. Currently, you're able to just use a JUMP X command, keep the location the same and get the same effect, but this would be a lot more convenient.
"ERASE TEXTBOX X"
Upon being called, the textbox is removed for X seconds. To give off a dramatic effect and show the background without anything in the way.
"FREEZE TEXTBOX X"
Once called, the textbox can't be advanced for X seconds. Forces a player to absorb the image, tachie, music or text they're reading. Dramatic effect n' all. BasedMG wanted something like this.
"CLOSE/OPEN EYES"
Once called, the screen slowly goes black. Opening eyes will slowly return the screen to normal. Right now, JUMPing to a story or branch with PLACE = None works, but that has a weird animation for what is happening and makes it seem like your player goes to the void when he closes his eyes.
"ADD (Gift name, bonus orb or token)"
At the end of the scene in which this is called, the player gets X gift, X amount of bonus orbs and X amount of tokens. Yes, this is a weird one, but definitely possible.
"TEXT COLOR = (Color name or RGB value, maybe)"
Changes text color of current speaker to whatever color is specified.
"FOCUS = (Attribute)"
Changes the current speaker's focus attribute during the game. dewelar wanted something like this.
I actually do want to use quite a lot of these, as weird as that might seem.
Let me dig into the old Custom thread to find it.

author=ShinigamisApplesIIRC, you need to show a little bit of your work in some way before an ID is reserved. Something like a scene, one of the tachies, a screenshot, profile, whatever. It's possible that was just an idea thrown around, though.
Mr. Dozen, could you please do me a grand favor by reserving ID 36 for my character Ai Nakamura? Many thanks.
Let me dig into the old Custom thread to find it.
