Names... [DSE][BxG][Psychologial] (Builds available)

[YaibaToKen]

***DESCRIPTION***

Names... is your average DSE, it's my first game so it might not turn out great, still gonna give it my all.
The game's Main Storyline is based on the DSE Framework Storyline, nothing that original, I simply made it a bit more complex,
added a bit more routes and such.
The Storyline is as follows:
You're an 18 year old teen on the 2nd year of high school. Just an average guy, with average taste, average clothes and an average life... For now!
During your planning of your days, you have the chance to meet with (and hopefully hook up with) the Twins or a beautiful Substitute Teacher.

The Endings available:

.:. The Shy Girlfriend Ending;
.:. The Hanging Suicide Ending;
.:. The Outgoing Girlfriend Ending;
.:. The Train Suicide Ending;
.:. The Twin Girlfriends Ending;
.:. The Gruesomely Murdered Ending;

The Endings I'm working on:

.:. The Older Girlfriend Ending
.:. The Forever Alone Ending;
.:. The Failling Grades Ending;

You have the option to choose the name for each of the Girls, including the Teacher, aside from your own.

***INFORMATIONS***

I intend on reporting my progress regularly, unless something makes it impossible.

I would also like to know if someone could help me create a few custom menus and buttons for the game, as well as placing them properly during gameplay.
Interested in knowing what you think of the game and how I can improve it.

***INFORMATIONS***

[KomiTsuku]

Sounds rather ordinary (which normally turns me away), but I'll give it a try.

Someone remind me to restart commissions for the Free Sprite Initiative. I keep forgetting about it.

Edit:
Running into some bugs as I go through.

- I got an error when I attended class one day. It seems to be an error in the DSE that tells me I shouldn't be seeing it.
-The scene where glasses girl gives you the ginger snaps has a background that suddenly changes.
- I was able to max out stats really, really quickly by just dumping into social, working part time for two days, and then maxing all of my stats in one go with the bookstore. Not a bug, just something I found.
-Some minor spelling and grammar mistakes mistakes.

Well, depending on the time I spend and the advice I get, it might actually turn into something nice, I believe so anyway ^^

I can remind you anytime, since it's thanks to guys like you that I manage to get some pretty nifty sprites.
If you happen to see one of your sprites/templates in the game, and you're not credited for
(assuming the credits are already working), pm me or post on the thread and I'll make sure you appear.

-Some minor spelling and grammar mistakes mistakes.

As for the class bug, it should have been fixed, try version 0.7 (changed the way I spelled the updates).

It should be harder to max stats like that now.
a book now costs 20k and increases 2 stats by 200 points
stats start at 50 and max out at 1000 and increase 20 points each time when studying them
class now increases culture, intelligence and social by 10 points
I tried to balance the stats upping and coin income. Should be better now.

The glasses girl route should be fully functional as of 0.8

If you can, do point out the spelling mistakes, so I can correct them
I'm not a native speaker and sometimes I don't even notice my mistakes ^^

Started developing a backstory for the main character. Thinking of developing one for each of the other characters.
An idea I've had was for pieces of each girl's past to be shown as the relationship between the mc and them develops, different choices, showing different parts and aspects of their past."

(Can already picture it, the Sub Teacher having abandonment issues, the Glasses girl having a trauma with guys, from being raped and the sporty girl having a sister complex, aside from an Oedipus complex.)

As the twins' routes reach completion, I ask. Is someone interested in a new character? If so, what type of personality? What kind of past? What traumas? What likes and dislikes? What kind of events shouls happen between the new character and the girls? And between the new character and the mc?

[Moon20]

Yes a new characther whould be good, mabey the new characther whould be childhood friend or fiancee Of the mc. And the new characther truma whould be at him/her are avfreid to Get closer to other becuse Of his/her past where him/her ble Beat up Of his/her parents. And because Of that his/her personality are mean,cold,heartless but depp down is him/her kind and caring. And the new characther likes the mc but dislike his/her parents. And the new characther Dont like the girls but friends Whit them in the end.

That my option about the new characther.

You're basically suggesting a tsundere childhood friend / fiancee archtype?
Historial of physical abuse and an irrational hate towards adults in general?
She would see the other girls as a sort of love rivals?

Seems nice. Provided I get a few more comments on her backstory and appearance, I should be able to go through with her design.

On another note, here's some of the new GUI:

The new Game Menu

I intend on changing the functions and names of the buttons, but the style should be similar.

[Moon20]

Yes i meant a tsundere childhood friend / fiancee archtype and Historial of physical abuse and an irrational hate towards adults in general and She would see the other girls as a sort of love rivals. Yes thats what i meant, What me to give her a name and some information about her backstory and appearance?

Please do, nonetheless, I intent to give the player to create a name for her, just like every other character available in-game.
In case you haven't tried it, when prompted for a name, if you simply press enter, the default name will be used ^^

EDIT
The Game Menu has been finished.

[Moon20]

if you could elaborate it a bit more, no need for something complex, just some events to use for both her backstory and interactions with the mc

[Moon20]
