Great... now I need to figure out how to tamper. I personally don't know the wire format of a savegame file. So good luck to the hex editor crowd.

What is the total list of endings? I've reached 2, 3, and 7, so far... I've been busy IRL, so haven't been playing much.

Seriously though, I would suggest that authors of large games with difficult endings consider releasing a walkthrough after a few months, since it seems a shame to have written endings and not have interested people seeing them.

Ditto easter eggs... especially for people like me who are really really dense about that sort of thing.

while walkthrus are useful, I usually prefer NOT to be led by the hand to get somewhere unless i've just about given up hope.

I'll just wait for another game to get my mind off of how many times I've gotten ending six already... (at time of posting, it was three times.)

My god, I sound like Hiroka!!!

Sorry eclipse, next post WILL be on topic.

*oops, erased my reply...* It's times like these that you just KNOW you need some sleep *calmly walks away* See you tomorrow.

ORIGINAL POST (recovered from IE history):




Ah, heavens are gracious, now... just need to click the right choices... One thing, I was aiming for a specific path and loaded the first saved choice to continue, and well, the game crashed on me twice when I selected one of the options. I don't mean to scare though, because it didn't happen again, just on that one windows session (I restarted and things went fine).



Well, I believe we'll be in the same boat then... but that's a long way to go for me, (late) summer is still far away.




That's not entirely without point to say the truth. Sometimes I am exceptionally unaware of the simplest things It would be good to have a true walkthrough instead of just hints like TT or AP have, but at the same time, it's like you'd throw all the subtle hints we (incl. you) have put into the games, so it's like ruining the efforts. Still, if someone were to release a thorough walkthrough, there would be nothing we could do about it. It's a tough question.

mikey>>I can easily put together not-so-subtle hints for both getting to part II of your game as well as getting to the (true) ending.

also, as far as your crashing incident, I don't bother saving unless it's a really long game.

Review time!

Graphics - Very good! The characters were nicely detailed and attractive. What I particularly enjoyed the most was the variety of expressions displayed by the characters during conversations.

Sound - The music for the game was very enjoyable. The songs seemed to fall within two categories for me: mellow ("daisy1" and "ache") and pensive ("june_trad"), which seem to suit the game very well. "heartache" also fit the mood of the flashback scenes, but some of the later parts of the song sounded more... soothing instead of tragic. But then again, perhaps we weren't supposed to be in that segment long enough for the music to shift.

Story - Overall, GSK had a nice story. It seemed to be a bit on the lighter side, leaning more towards the search for friends than something deeply romantic. If only the nerdier types got to be friends with girls like that in real life too...

There were a couple of things that I found curious:



Overall - Good work! There were some noticeable typos throughout the game, probably due to the rush to meet the deadline. However, they didn't detract any from the overall experience. Congratulations upon completing your second game!

Okay my review...take a deep breath...stretch...yawn....

Pros:
-Most of all I like the people that are in the background..It adds more of a realistic touch to the game.
-Second The characters are very well drawn and have very well planned out personalities.
-lastly The game actually flows well..what I mean by that is that in most games after a question the next text has nothing to do with the question asked and the text does not look like something a person would say.
Cons:
-Although the only way to fix this would be to draw your own background...The characters dont look like they belong in the same world as the background buildings.. like i said though you really cant fix that.
-Next In my opinion...all of the characters faces look like they belong on females...
-Oh and there are some parts of the story that just seems like the main characters rambles...it maybe trying to depict a lose of thought but after so many games with that in it, it begins to be predictable and sightly boring (only in my opinion).

After playing the game I recieved the ending of 4...

(This is only my opinion...you can despute it if you want and you can tell me i am wrong...but just keep in mind that it is my opinion and that will not change)

This game is the best game so far..well for the month...Very well made.

Megaman Z>> Yup, that's all the endings. I don't count Ending 0 since the likelihood of someone actually seeing it is slim to none.

PyTom>> You got ending 7?! :whistles: You go PyTom!
I'll consider releasing a walkthrough for those who have hit a brick wall.

mikey, re next game>> Really? ...Interesting...

Kikered>> sound: lol I was counting on people to read fast and not get too far into each of the soundtrack, actually... ^^

curious:
typos: Really? I ran it through Word and then went over it again and caught some things it missed. I'll check again anyways.

re darkknight>> flow of game: Yeah, I know how you feel! Those are very irritating.

cons: The realistic backgrounds and the drawn images is a style, imo. Some people may like it and some would not. Honestly, I didn't think much of it when I first saw the combination as well but in the end, it's just seeing things in a different eye.

lol Yeah. My drawings has influence from CLAMP, and hence heavy on the pretty side - male or female. But seriously, all of the characters? Even the guys tailing Vivian? The only thing I can say if that you're probably used to more realistic type drawings. So, what would you say about this drawing: http://www.mangatutorials.com/tut/hair/straighttail.jpg
Feminine or not? This is just out of curiosity. My sister also thinks I make them too bishie. lol Actually, she says it worse than that but you know - siblings

Oh YES!!! Finally!!! After so much time, so many tries and tears I finally got Ending 8. I can die happily now...

The only endings I haven't gotten are 7 and 0. But it's hard to find motivation for that now that there is ******* ********.

Congratulations mikey!

Arg , when I tried to sit with one of the other girls towards the end , I still ended up sitting with Vivian! Not that I'm really complaining , but I don't get why being nice to everyone and expressing that you like art in both forms gets you Vivian even if you haven't really spent much time with her or anybody else for that matter! Hmm.
I guess I should find the read me and check it out more throughly (sp.?) ....
Great graphics and interesting plot though.
I really love the additional / part of the main focus being on surroundings and art.

Maybe I shoud make that walkthrough after all... :\

LOL , I thought it might be something like that but it's not the way I would make the choices play out ...I'll try to keep that in mind in my next play.

If I made the ending based all on the last choice, it'd be too easy, don't you think?
