Here we don't go through 7th and 8th grade or middle school. After 6th grade we graduate then enter High school so, when we are seniors our age would be most likely 16 or 17 some are even 15. I decided to turn it to like that because i'm more used to our country's usual school curriculum and I do not know what kind of curriculum schools have in the US or any other country, even if i've read a lot of books made by American authors I still wouldn't know because I never had any first-hand experience on it :(.

Would this thing be an issue?
Haha yeah, I don't blame you. The education system differs from country to country. I just assumed it was American based or something because of the names as well... and no! I don't think it'll be an issue. I think most players are used to things being a bit different. If you ever do though, I don't mind helping you out with it. :)

:) Mmkays. I don't mind and would love to read it~.

Elze wrote:Oh okay. May I ask where the school is supposed to be located at then? C: The names are western, but since you said your friend is designing the clothes after Japanese school uniform.. I guess my main concern is still this:
"I'm just thinking it might be weird if the characters look like Japanese high school students but they're not".
& I'll be looking forward to the character designs! <3

I guess the school would set in the US... I wanted to turn it into Korea of Japan but I don't want to make their names sound so awkward. Maybe if I could turn the story into something like them being foreigners or maybe you could change the design of their uniforms and maybe tweak my friend's design a bit..?

@ Julie: Thank you QuQ

@ Silver: I think majority of the schools in America don't have uniforms though, except for a small number of elementary schools. Either scrap the uniforms and make it in the US (maybe seek some advice regarding school life and such from monochromia) or change their names and set it in Korea/Japan? I think that'll make things less confusing. OuO;;

I guess I'll set it in America but their character design would still remain the same maybe just let them wear clothes that would make them look more like an American. However, the pictures i'll be posting here would be all of them wearing school uniforms (even David.) I don't want my friend to make new ones seeing that you need to see their designs as soon as possible.

Ehh I'm not really in a rush OuO;; ..unless you want to have the sprites done before March, since I'll be on hiatus from March-May. So I can only work on the sprites from now till feb, or June onwards. orz;; Meaning if you pass me the designs in late Feb, the sprites will most likely only get done in June or something. Designing the clothes won't be a problem though, and I'll update you with sketches before I start on the actual thing anyway. C:

Haha. Actually private schools are the only ones in America for the most part that require uniforms. XD I only know for sure how Southern California is about uniforms. I used to wear one in elementary, but from what I've heard, my old school stopped requiring uniforms.

The uniforms I've seen can be pretty plain.. XD; Some schools have nice one that are European-esque~.

How about boarding schools? O: My friend moved back to Thailand and he goes to a boarding school with tons of students from other countries like England and India. They also all speak English at his school. o:

Oh I see... Anyway, the designs are complete except for the glasses guys I'm just trying to find a scanner.

Maybe, I like the idea but I don't know much about boarding schools. T_T

******************************************************************************************************

Guys I think I'll just decide to change their names to Japanese names and set the story in Japan it is because the character design makes them look Japanese...

I already have something for the boys

For Trevor it would be Nakaegawa Masaru and for David it would be Sasaki Kenji then for the girls It would be Koizumi Misaki for Amber and Tanaka Shione for Caroline.

What do you guys think..?

I like them :) but I don't know if they're like correct or whatever. XD
I was reading something else here a few days ago and this one girl was hard on the poster about how the names she had chosen were weird/ didn't make sense or something. But in all honesty, I don't think much people care. lolol.

Really, :lol: I thought Japanese people might mock them or something like that.
oh and if I might ask are you good at giving lines for a script..? I wanted to add more comedy and I can't think of funnier lines...

*********************************************************************************************************

To juryia and Elze...
I'm so sorry for the sketches of the design is taking so long. I can't find a freaking scanner and when I ask Internet cafes to scan them they ask for an unreasonable fee per page o_O :shock: and with the printing of my school projects and all the other projects, I have seriously short funds.

Really? Mine too..! that is why I turned the MC to a character who always uses sarcasm when annoyed.

I need funny lines for the childish guy Kenji.
