Yup, up to D. If you need more, you have to JUMP to a new story.

Speaking of dependencies, I was playtesting 21 Ways and Uchioniko together on clean mode...then around day 25, I remembered that you can't progress in 21 Ways's route on clean mode and thought shucks, I have to start over. Then I remembered that I am the game's developer and can flip any switches or variables whenever I like muahaha.

When I started up v0.72 with Uchioniko, or at least the version you posted, I got the false error message immediately, and when I looked at the code it was obvious what I had done wrong (the wrong variable was used in a comparison). I can't explain why you don't get the same error, but if true, keep using v0.72 then.

edit:
So it is working for you in v0.72? I would guess that is because you were only testing Shoko, right? If you put all of Uchioniko in the game you get a false error message about one of them having herself as a relation. I went ahead and ninja-fixed it, so you can upgrade to 0.73 if necessary.

Air RPG

How do I set joystick controls? I love platformers but I find them intolerable with a keyboard.

Aw crumbs, it looks like there's a bug with relation IDs that makes Uchioniko unplayable in the latest release. (You guys must not be using the new release yet, huh?) You want me to fix it right away, Marrend?

@dude
Yes, I think that should work.

^You're right, an INTRODUCE event would do that. Maybe the best way is to sneak the tachie in as OTHER slots for an existing character, such as 21 Ways. Then he just has to make sure that 21 Ways has been introduced.

Alternatively...make the invisible host character appear in branches. Also make an INTRODUCE event with an impossible condition.

@Marrend
Ah, okay. I'll take Uchioniko off the top of the page then.

@dude
What you can do is use another character as a host for the non-datable characters' images. The host character could be an invisible character. She should have name unknown and generic encounters off so that her data never appears in the phone call screen. Players won't be able to tell that this character exists (other than by viewing the records, which will just have "custom character" for her name).

Once the host character has been introduced (invisibly), you can use her in story events for the sole purpose of displaying tachie. For instance, suppose her ID is 70. You can do something like this:

ID = 0
Somebody's coming....
ID = 70
FRIENDLY
SHOW CENTER
ID = Hint lady
Hello you.

To the player, it's not possible to tell that the invisible character is actually the one whose tachie is being displayed. The only clue is that Hint Lady's speaking text is black.

Marrend, you know, it's not a sin to double post once in awhile. I didn't notice your update until now.

Also, I think you guys should post screenshots of your characters in action. Otherwise I'm a'gonna take the liberty.

Testing

Character Customizer v0.4

The only difference between this and the last version is a fix for the media player not working on Windows 7 or Windows Vista. If there's no other bugs reported today I shall release this version.

Testing

Actually, upon doing a little research, it turns out there is a known bug in the GUI toolkit I'm using such that the media load event isn't triggered correctly under Vista. Wxwidgets or at least wxruby hasn't been updated since 2009 so only option is to find a workaround for this situation. I can see that other people have found workarounds which is a good sign. I'll probably be sending you a PM later with an experimental build that might fix the problem for Vista users.

@dude
Funny that you mention that because I'm replaying through Oblivion myself right now to try and do all the guild quests I never finished. I want to get this done before Skyrim comes out because I got the feeling that once it does I'm not gonna wanna play Oblivion any more.
