Yay, loads of people are playing Elven Relations! But darn, you would all have to do it just a few days before the v1.1 release, wouldn't you?

I have yet to get ending 1, but I think I have an idea about who it's with. >:3
I noticed that Yurika has two "good" endings but no "best" ending. Is it with Yurika perhaps? Now how to get it...that eludes me. XD
Spoiler for slight hints about Ending 1 compared with other endings:
Yes, that's right! And Yurika's best ending is obtained in a slightly different way to the best endings for the other two. The other two you just need to pursue especially strongly to get their best ending. But as you know, on Yurika's path there's a significant obstacle to the two of you being happy together, and you need to find a solution to that.

I remember years ago when we would talk online and you were telling me about this project... We would role play our chars sometimes for story and personality
Yes, I remember those times
and I think I peeked under Tohko's robe ;p
You're Blue Lemma. There's no "think" about it
I think a few more special event pics would be good.
As the v1.1 CG Gallery will show, there are 12 event CGs. It's just that most of them you have to earn
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
(There may be a 13th or 14th in v1.1 as well, as SunKitten decided that more of the endings should have their own CG.)
I also think pics for the "next episode" skits would be a nice touch (I'm doing next ep. stuff for Hanafuda Club - you beat me to it!

)
Well, I tried displaying the speaking character at that point, but it looked wrong. I could have had some kind of stage or something with the speaking character pointing at what's going on on-stage, I suppose.
One thing that stood out to me was Yurika's mouth... it seems harsh compared to the rest of the chars' art. Like it was drawn in thick later and not with antialiasing or something.
Interesting. I think we did have to rework that a couple of times, because getting a truly neutral expression is immensely difficult. It certainly is antialiased, though. (There are actually two versions of Yurika's fairly-neutral expression - in one of them she's truly neutral, in the other she's softly smiling.)
Most importantly though...
Where's my fanservice?
Hmm, the closest you'll get is in Tohko's best ending, and even that's pretty mild, I'm afraid

Yay, well done!

...Now you just have the
best endings for each girl
to look for...
It seems like all the endings aren't available on the first playthrough
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
That's not true. It certainly is possible to get any one of the eight endings on your first playthru, although getting ending 1 would be extremely unlikely unless you knew what you were doing. But there's no "unlocking" or anything like that. There's just enough accumulated decisions that it's tricky.

Yay, thankyou!
The music fits the mood of the game perfectly, including the tense and happy moments... the part where asilana sings got me a bit intrigued cause the bacground music seemed a bit far off from a harp (but I'm very picky on musical senses of mine lol) but nothing to worry about.
Hehehe. Yeah, it's played on a plucked instrument that sounds a little harplike, but isn't actually a harp.
I'm definetely intrigued about the "childhood Sweetheart" deal... but as I tryed to get closer I figured it would be kinda hard, and I didn't want to get depressed with a bad ending (I'm enough depressed as It is lol!).
Well, it doesn't get much worse than the standard bad ending, unless you happen to pursue Tohko just the wrong amount - enough to get her to open up to you a little, but not enough to let her trust you... that's the worst the game can offer.
So far it was well worth the wait *grins broadly and winks* Keep it up! I'll be sure to get version 1.1 when it gets out

Thankyou for the kind words!

On that note, excuse me for asking for these spoiliers, but does declining or accepting the drink have an effect on the outcome (since it seems declining offended some people) or does it just put an ramomizing element in the game?
Yeah, the drunkenness is the single biggest reason after RPG-style combats why I wanted to do a 1.1 release. It needs reworking. But to answer your question,
no, it doesn't affect what any girl thinks of you, it just removes your ability to choose for the rest of the evening.
BTW, I was able to more or less control the ramdomness by saving before the random decison was made and just reloaded the save if I did not get a choice I wanted.
Eek! I was using renpy.random, and I thought that was preserved across rollback and savegames. I'll have to chase Py'Tom about that... I'm probably doing something wrong
On a simular note, for the first sequence of the banquet eventually Takuya talks everybody. I assume that whoever he tells Kei he is interested in may affect the outcome, but otherwise, does the sequence of the people you decide to talk to (wether drunk or sober) affect the outcome?
You should watch to see if any of the text varies.
Yes, it does, but in a relatively obvious fashion.

Wow... I feel very humbled
![Embarassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
:oops: I'm glad to have made a game you enjoyed!
I would also have to agree with teankun's second spoiler. I stopped at that point and even after I went on, I went back to look at it again. It was so cute. Also, right after getting a couple of endings, I just really wanted a sequel. I'd play it! Heck, I'd pay for it. I thought the plot was amazing, as well, and unlike some games I played, it was actually something that I would have enjoyed reading if it had been a book. As I just read about the merpeople and dwarves, I so wanted to see them, and the sea!
Heh. One of the reasons I want to do a sequel is to explore more of the world I created here. The whole point was to feel like these were just two nations in a world of many, and it looks like that succeeded; but that does mean there's so much more in the world that I haven't explored!
...Although I'd love to see your reaction to Ending 1
My favorite endings were probably the ones with Tohko. She was probably my favorite. That's it. I think I'm gonna go play it again.
Yay, thanks for playing! And best of luck with Tohko... she's a great girl, so you'd better treat her right
