Okay. Thanks for the suggestion.

Haha, Tsubasa would say that.

You can't tie story events to dining locations on a date without doing it the manual way. That is, JUMP to a story with a dining location from a date story.

I added a few more code-lines and updated the links here and on the website. Thanks for your help.

Today I also tried installing a shoutbox on the website. Within 30 minutes of it being online it was getting spam comments -_- So much for that idea.

For those without NotePad++, I'm uncertain how to package the program with the file pre-installed. The best option I can think of is to zip up the base program with the custom language file, with instructions of how to install the language file.


Is it not as simple as replacing the .xml file from the download package that had everything pre-installed? Then maybe Turtle's post could help. Or maybe even try PM'ing him, tho I have the feeling he's not around any more.

Power to the authors!

STR DOWN isn't gonna be understood by the game any more than DEF DOWN, AGI DOWN, or CON DOWN.

Oh right, Notepad++. You wanna have a go at that, Marrend? When you're done, feel free to update the tools article on the website with the new download links. (If this is all too much of a bother let me know and I'll take care of it myself)

RMN v4.3 approaches! Command?

I don't think Creation was talking exclusively about blogs but more like in a general sense regarding "quality control". Heartache 101 doesn't always generates "actual discussion", half of the time is just casual conversation between the same handful of users. Besides, due to the nature of the game even some of the legitimate discussion seem utterly masturbatory superfluous. I mean, it's mostly talk about imaginary animu girlfriends... but that's besides the point.

The thing is... Remember when Heartache 101 was every week on the front page in the 'Latest download' section? Well, apparently that got fixed and they could no longer exploit that. But with the buzzing mechanic in place they started pumping "actual discussion" in that 'Custom Content' tab of theirs generating loads of artificial buzz on a regular basis. That tab alone was like a bazillion pages long until recently when it got axed in favor of two other different tabs...

Now, I can't prove if any of this was intentional. This is mostly just speculation on my part. But I find it very suspicious and it wouldn't surprise me if there is in fact even the slightest intent to 'game the system' coming from them. Not really unlike to those people who blog a lot or post tons of images of their games in hopes to catch some attention... A stricter "quality control" around these parts should come in handy to discourage all those kinds of dubious behaviors.


I don't know whether to be amused or offended by this. It's a bs accusation, of course, but I suppose there will always be somebody who thinks that way.

As to the topic at hand, although I'm not particularly invested in how things like buzz are handled on this site, it's hard to picture many developers voluntarily clicking a "No Buzz" flag, I would think. Just my 2 cents. Now back to being discouraged over my failure to create an RPG that anyone cares about....

Heartache 101 ~Sour into Sweet~

Thanks for the feedback :) Glad you enjoyed it.

The only character whose ending takes a different form is the secret character who doesn't go to your school.

Well at least you are willing to make up for your mistakes. I think I will let you off at that.

What do you mean my mistakes?! I couldn't see where I was going, because of the boxes. What is your excuse?

Most people don't have the balls to stand up to me. Especially after such a beat down. I like that.
AFFECTION UP 5
JUMP 3


Did AFFECTION UP 5 not work there? Hmm, it should. I'll look into it....
edit: Hmm, I can't reproduce the problem. shrug

Does longevity of a game REALLY MATTER?

I'm pretty sure I sunk more than 200 hours into Disgaea...and that was only the first Disgaea. Much of the fun imo comes from making runs through the item world to see how many levels you can clear in a single turn by solving geo puzzles. Even after you get the hang of it you still have to think to do it, so it becomes something that stays challenging for a long time. Like Minesweeper or any other randomly generated puzzle (but better, of course). It's unusual for an RPG in that long after the combat has begun to grow dull, there is lots of fun yet to be had in clearing levels *without* engaging in combat, or with a minimal amount of combat.

Oh right, Junko uses that location. In v2.0 I changed "Bedroom (Night)" to "Bedroom" and "Bedroom" to "Bedroom (Morning)" in order to make the new bedroom events more convenient for everyone to write. I didn't think there'd be a problem since "Bedroom (Night)" hadn't been listed in the documentation iirc, but I forgot about Junko. Easy enough to fix. I'll make "Bedroom (Night)" a synonym for "Bedroom". We can't have one of the best custom characters not working.
