@ All: Back~! I've kinda been knocked out as of late due to jet lag. Feeling great though! I could easily make a long rant about what happened in the phillipines, bu lets just say I enjoyed myself very much during the visit ^^ Well, for the time being it looks like it's just back to doing what we needed to do: Story: I'm going to set up a due date for the endings soon, please be mindful that we should aim for at least (A guesstimate of what is enough) 180 Lines worth. Does everyone else thing 180's enough for an ending...? Website: I added Rei Kizuna's profile. Feel free to add it in as well (place him under the 2 main guy characters as he's one of them! Coding: Just waiting on the technical demo. Art: We haven't gotten much for new characters yet, still, Reikou Kizina needs a design, and we may want to get to finalizing the ones we have. Music: Right now I just ned to know who is still there. I havent heard from Key in a long while, any of you hear from him lately? @ Karuzo: I've edited in a chara description to the first page. Errr, you can look and see if there is anything that needs change. @ Mokona: Oi,oi! Dont say it out loud!!! @ Schaz: I really wish I knew how to do read chords... um, have you heard from Key as of late? (he hasnt posted at all in a while)   |

@Ugo- I have a question Despite this, the many people he's hurt trying to protect himself and others has placed him very close to being expelled. I cant understand this part @All- well that means that I will start now the plot again.... and again... I just retrieved much of the rejected ideas hehehe Edit: I am trying to re-evaluate everything what I had  --> |

Ugo- ^^' sowwy Ugo! Great to see you back to take the lead! [URGENT] I just want to say here that whoever has a role in writing an arc or any part in the VN please submit a chapter or a couple of lines for me by the end of the next week? Sorry i'm rushing you guys, but I wanted to see some results and your ideas soon, we've definitely got to pick up the slack, and i hope that everyone will give me a good effort by next week. I've got some exams coming up, but by February I'll be free as a bird, unless my school decides to add an extra 1 hour lesson to our day... ^^' Ooooh- it was snowing all day today! It was really beautiful~ by the time i got home i was covered in huge flakes of snow- when you looked closely at them, they actually looked like little pieces of crystals ^^ But they slashed 15 mins of our lunch ¬¬ Plus, well done Schaz for that note combo and for working so hard! xDD   |

@ KM I guess it could be rephrased to: "However, in protecting people, he has gotten himself into several fights. This has given him a rather bad record in terms of social discipline and could get him expelled from school very quickly." @ Schaz: I guess he is. I'm just trying to see who is still around. SO for now, I'll put you as temporary head for Music. When you get the time, can you check to see if the other music department members are still active? @ Mokona: Got it, I'll do my best to get in a couple finished pages to ya... still havent had any proper checks with Terror or Basil so.... ^^' Ohhh, you're school admins are so evil by cutting lunch~! |

OKay guys! Well done for getting this started, let's go, go, go! Plus, at least I didn't have school today because of the snow and ice, but my mum didn't get the memo, so we trekked all the way there (nearly slipping half a dozen times) before we knew the school was closed.. very evil school admins ^^' |

@Mokona- gomen... i was trying to adjust my time both academics and my hobby.. my majors is killing me and seriously choking me to death the script is on its 5% movement... the data gathered for it was 75% it is enough for the data the only problem is that the ending and the plot itself... I had this idea in my mind and i write it on a yellow pad... if i can retrived that everything will be alright by the was a suggestion regarding to the background image we can use 07th Expansion strategy... real images and blur it... the updated VN script of the story... not completed but i think this would help me understand the Ren'Py system... # You can place the script of your game in this file. init: # Declare images below this line, using the image statement. # eg. image eileen happy = "eileen_happy.png" # Declare characters used by this game. define Aya = Character('Aya', color="#c8ffc8") define Rei= Character('Reikou', color="#c8ffc9") define Rdn1= Character('Classmate 1', color="#c8ffd9") define Rdn2= Character('Classmate 2', color="#c8ffd9") define Sensei= Character('Rosette', color="#c8ffd9") define VC= Character('Vice Chairman', color="#c8ffd9") define SS= Character('Senior Student', color="#c8ffd9") # The game starts here. label start: "The blow on the stomach was painful that made the guys vomit, then as the mob looked at him they begin to tremble screamed like hell and ran away" "on the other hand, the guy was just standing, looking at them and at his right hand and he tuck it into his pocket" "turned to his left and slowly walked away just like nothing really happened and disappeared within the crowd" Aya "Who is that? He managed to pin down those thugs in few moves" "The people begun to dispers as the event ended, I left the place and went back home " "-transition- " "The next day" "its about -_-_ AM ,I entered the the school premisses a male student was sitting on the bench," "on his lap a 17 inch laptop, beside him a knapsack that appears to be half full, he was seriously typing something" "noticing that he had the same badge color like mine, my curiosity sparked in my mind, I walked closer to him" Aya "Excuse me...Umm... are you a transfer student" "The boy looked to me, he has bluish violet eyes that contemplates his appearance however the thing that really fascinates me was his face," "his girlish look that could really mistaken him for a real girl" Rei "Yes, I am" Aya "Uhn.. Isn't that you are too early? I mean you are the first student here" Rei "Thank you for the concern, but it was my will to come because later on I cannot finish this notes on time" Aya "Notes? Class notes or something?" Rei "No, personal log book, schedules, to-do-list and some writing stuff" Aya "You should really have the class notes so you can catch up with us" Rei "I deeply apologize for it, however I read them thoroughly" Aya "Are you a smart student?" Rei "It depends on how do you think about it, if you think I am, I am, but if you think I am not, I am not" "Those words does not give me any sense, but I did not give any reaction, I don't want to give him a bad thoughts, then he begun to pack this laptop and gestured formally" Rei "I shall take my leave for now, please prepare yourself for the surprises that this day would give, until our next met again, my young lady" "He bowed to me and left, all I can do is watch him walk to the main entrance, I don't know if he is strange or just being true to himself, " "however, he is one of the few student that can trigger curiosity on a person's mind and I am one of them, " "I sighed and went inside, going to my room, the reason why I am this early because its my morning cleaning duty or should I say Aya's morning workts just editing the calendar date" "on the board and checking my daily schedule" Aya "..." "Then I fell asleep on my desk" "Hours later..." "I wake up as I heard gossip from two of my classmates as they reached my desk" Rdn1 "Did you heard about the new student that enrolled today?" Rdn2"Yeah, I heard that he excels much in his academics and his extra curricular activities, but he tends to slack off" Rdn1"Slack off? You mean another delinquent?" Rdn2"Not sure, however if he is an excel student, he can make alibis not to make schoolwork, we may dig more later" Rdn1"Huh? Why?" Rdn2"I don't really know, but the network told us that he has this cunning senses that gave their agents hard time to hide" "I acted not interested however I tried to assert effort on decoding what I had heard," "I mean that how come a smart student to slack off? I don't really get the idea, personally I did not know if those kind really exist" "Then our first period teacher came in, she was in her early twenties, she has long violet hair, she is sensei Minakawa, Rosette also known as the 'Vivid Rose' because of her" "young age and perfect body composure and her creative and inspiring thoughts" "Oh, well she is one of the best teachers we had and the entire school staff had a fan club for her" Sensei "Good to see you everyone, I see another perfect attendance for this week, good job children, however..." "She distributed a magazine like handouts, we know what it is and she has only this requirement in the whole school" Sensei "Your assignment for the week, read and answer them wiith all your knowledge and understanding," Sensei "if your answers give justice to the article you will have a homework free week" "Her eyes begin to glow and laugh sarcastically, all we can do is sigh and accept the paper, even she was a good teacher, " "she is one of the teachers who gives a huge amount of school work with the deadline within one week, that is good for compensation however" "it was too much" "..." "Dear me... I hope I could finish this on time, I am not good in this " "-transition-" "The first two subjects were over and now its lunch time, I immediately dashed out of the rooom and hurriedly went ot the canteen" "Even I am a sophore in this institution, I frequently forgot the rule of the school canteen: Fist come, first serve and no guts no glory" "-transition-" "After that dashing and evading my fellow classmates, I panted and become dismayed the canteen was already full of students, however this time" "the students are more organized and more silent" Aya "What happened here?" "First time in my life, the canteen was peaceful and organized, usually this place was chaotic and noisy, I walked to find a seat I saw a familiar white haired figure" "on the table, surrounded by senior students and one of them if I am not mistaken, the vice chairman of the Student Council" Aya "[Isnt that student earlier? Why is he with the senior students and the vice chairman of the Student Council?]" "To get closer in their conversation, I preted to pass by to look for a seat, in which that is the real reason why I am here" VC "That was a very good Idea, however can it be implemented on that " Rei "We just not push them to do it, we just tell them to give their best to do it" SS "But what if it fails?" Rei "That is the possibility that I cannot deny, however if we keep pushing them, they would rebel, I just wanted to let them to self- realize that everything we do is for their own good" SS "What about the delingquents? How can we avoid them?" Rei "We cannot avoid them, but we can lessen them, but if we can use their delinguent attitudes to serve the school community, they would realized that using their strenght to help, the possibly that they could change, although not that thouroughly" "Such idealistic and humanistic point of view, I cannot believe that he could think about that perspective, personally I could think that it is impossible to change a delinquent student, then suddenly he looked on his watch and stand" Rei "I would like to stay had have a long chat however there some things that I need to attend to, thank you for listening my suggestions" VC "Same here, even I am the Vice Chairman, my requirements had a dealine, I cannot waste such remaining time, or would see her bone-chiiling, spine- breaking aura" SS "Hahaha, true enough, but as a Vice Chairman you should adjurn this meeting" VC "Oh... I forgot... Meeting adjurned" "The group stand together and left he canteen, me, so that no one could notice I pretend to talk to a student, but luckily that student is my classmate and reminded me about the scheule so, they did not noticed me eavesdropping" "...."

You should really ge the credit for the things you had done" Rei "I did it because I dont have a reason to be known, I did it because I wanted to help, look I am doing this because this is the only thing that I can help" "Those words shook me, he wasted much effort to maintain the integrity of the Library not waiting anything in return" Aya "You.. you..."

I am very disappointed with myself that I already neglected helping out here :( For now I really want to do something of a paint chat kind of meeting. Anyone here knows livestream? I think that's a great way... other way would be the other pchats (I don't knwo any D:) I just want to design while having a more live feedback rather than posting and waiting for replies. Though This might be too much a request from me ): anyways I want to get a holler form everyone in the dept to see if anyone here is still up to this job >: For now I'll focus on making some betetr concept arts (with bgs hopefully) I'll upload momentarily the very latest sketches I did of the characters (which are actually very far from the previous designs and require a bit of critique, imo) here here I'd liek your comments here XD [edit: the sketch have no scaling. I will make better sketches by the weekend]

Hey guys!! It's sure been a long time! ^^' Because Mokona is such a doughnut, she accidentally deleted her original message!! All I can remember is: I've written up an ending for my arc, but it's in story form, I will need to write it up as a script, so please wait for it! ^^ I will work hard to finish it! I recently had a revelation, and I remembered why I started this whole thing, so I got writing, and I've decided on this ending for my arc. There's still a lot I need to go over with Ugo, maybe we have to run another IM session! But, yeah sorry it's my fault that the other departments are on halt, without the stories and stuff I know you guys are struggling to get working- apologies for that! But I'm sure all my lovely writer's are trying their best! Err, right?? *coughnudgecough* Karuzo: Thanks a lot for posting that up! There's lots of things I need to go over with you about your arc, not that there's anything wrong with it, but just some ideas that we need you to maybe think about... Darky: Ermm, could you elaborate on your point (with the Livestream thing)? I know it's a hard job, but I really like your new sketches, admittedly things have been moving a bit slow, but i'll try and come on and help as much as possible!! |

Livestream offers other people to view broadcasts of other people. But in this case, I'll use it to broadcast the screen of my computer, so you guys can see me sketching and stuff... by this way, we could decide on designs, colors, and other things related in the chatroom of the broadcast it's kind of like gendou tv, with the broadcast as my own computer's desktop feed xD --- anyways, I;m always checking this place, it'd be nice to see even small updates now and again *totally an update whore* I'll make at least one concept art per day to show how much I want to return my dedication here. I'll be online in msn around 8PM - 12MN GMT+8 everyday (but I am appearing offline), so I'm free to talk then ^^ We should keep in contact with each other to make us all more motivated, in my opinion!

I was looking on holding back on posting anything till there was a lot to report, but since Darky's already here, I'll make my report. As for my part in writing dept, I have my ending decided as well and am in the process of writing it. Though I really need something like a dealine to get me going... *sigh* @ KM: It looks like you got a pretty good hold on the system. Though looking back at one of Link's posts, didnt he say there was a new engine out? I wonder if there was any major changes. @ Coding: Care to comment on KM's script? @ Darky: The sketches look great! Here's my two cents in: Kathy: I see you changed up her look a bit. But I like it personally. The move to norm glasses seem to do her better than the Negi glasses from what I can see. I cant hlep but note that while I think the clothing's appropriate, her sweater seems a bit plain (specifically down towards the chest) It's probably just the length of her sweater though. Getting the ribbon around her neck to the length comparible to the colored version seems like it could do the trick, but that's up to you. The last thing I can say is that her hair color does seem a tad bright. It makes her appear a bit more energetic than how her character is. (Then again, I cant really judge too much on color) Glad you kept the watch idea! She's looking much more polished now, Cant see the second versions for the other characters! Kit Yay! She has tenma's pigtails! She's looking pretty good. I can see you put a bit more thought into her design. The cat ornaments for her pigtails are a really nice touch (like kitty tails!) Her clothes seem alright enough. But I cant be sure. My thought for Kit was she was that "Person who would completely surprise you when her true colors show" You may want to play around with her pants/skirt choice a bit more. But her design as it is defiantly shows her striking oddness. Her hair I'm a bit debatable on. I applaud the tenma pigtails, but I'm not sure if it should be long like that. Looking at her full body pose, The hair and her shorts really seem to go against one another. (Or mabe I've been reading too much Shoujo manga... ^^') The main thing I think is that: the shorts are too short. But I really like how you used the kitty design for both of them. I can already imagine pulling off a small scene from that. For further sketches, just keep in mind keeping her energetic personality, but try to keep her looking feminine (at least enough to not make it too obvious how much of an oddball she is) and outgoing. Thanks for still willing to help Darky-san! I'll try to stay online on MSN when typing homework or generally on the internet. Sorry for not updating a lot! I sort of fell in the hiatus rut myself! I'll check out livestream myself, and judging by you're GMT, I might catch you pretty early in the morning. Wahoo~! Mokona and I have been discussing a good amount on things getting into the start of the Vn to the point where our individual endings come in. Generally speaking, Mokona's happily volunteered to plot out and write the main portion of the story. We also discussed quite a bit on the Journals as well (which I volunteered to write) There's be Diary entries unlocked from before the accident, standard summary entries that come with going through the main story, and ending specific entries that come as Epilogues for a specific ending. Still in the discussion phase though. @ Mokona: Mou~! Mokna-chan disappeared after you told me about getting Km's script piece. We where in the middle of discussing the journals and such right? Well to deliberate further on that, try to get the main story plotted down, I'll give my own version of a plot line up for your consideration of requested. However, we need something to start off with to decide where to put decision points. Also waiting on your say on the scripts we submitted to ya! Also, I wouldn't mind having a deadline. *nudges* So to sum it up, Mokona and me discussed things related to the journal part of the story. We got out that there's 3 different diary portions. 1 is Important sections of Aya's diary (unlocked though the main game and choices made) Summary Pages (Unlocked with the progression of the main story) and Epilogues (Which are unlocked when achieving an ending. I'm thinking they're a bit boring on their own just being text... my only thought was to make a very dedicated voice actor read them... Anyone else got ideas on making the diary entries interesting beyond just text? ~~~~~ Also, the next foreseeable IM meeting I have is when we have the basic main storyline down, and show it to the available members for their suggestion on where to put decision points. That wont come up until the plot line for the main story is over with. For the other departments (Specifically Music) still hanging about with nothing to do. I don't have any real requests, so don't worry about it too much. I'll call up those departments when I can really put them to work. If we're short on those departments, we'll handle it when that time comes. For the moment: (Sort of) Passive Job List: Writing: Get those endings written, Dept head, start plotting main story when possible. Coding: Stick on (trying out engine). But expect some of the coded endings to come in before/after proofreading. Website: At the moment it's just updating for new artwork. It may very well be time I consider writing updates for the main site too. (Sorry for neglecting it!!!! >.<) Music: Just be ready to be called on, earliest being when the coded endings are checked. Art: I'd like to see some drafts on colored versions of the characters. Also start considering options for backgrounds as well. I have a couple of requests for the website in stock coming up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
