I plan to make the offline version a optional purchase very soon to get as much feedback as possible, plus it is easier to manage updates. however if you purchased it or are at least at the $5 amount in patreon you will have access to these bonuses
1. Your customized background character appears in the game solo or with other characters doing whatever you like, wherever you would like for them to be seen. It can’t be Maiko however because the player is Maiko! Your character can be grabbing Luma’s breasts or anything like that. It can also be with a store owner or teacher. Maiko says something about your character when taking a photo from in the game.
2. Dialogue options for you character to appear inside stores and clubrooms and say something to Maiko as she enters them, You will see Maiko’s reply in the game!
If this interests you then just send me the details:
Detailed character description or photo reference so I can draw him/her properly.
What they are doing in the background and with whom and where.
What store or club they visit, and what they say coming out of the store saying something to Maiko.
If you need more details message me or here or anywhere you feel comfortable. Also if for some reason you want a refund for anything just let me know as well also.
I have been experimenting more on eyes. these were created from from deviant art tutorials lol. the eye colors are not correct but you get the idea. These are two different eyes but I might go for three different female eyes and two different guy eyes. I will work on implement this over the weekend as well as fixing some stuff in the game that is broken and trying to optimize the game a bit. I will quite busy with it.
I plan to have a option to import a string code that would describe sentinel components. for a enemy sentinel. you can battle other people’s custom builds.
also I want to add in a method to have a method to have random character interactions happen at certain locations that can be customized also.

If everyone that bought the game gets that is that not going to take forever to add it to the game?
Sorry I’m not what sure what “it” is you are referring to. The art? or custom characters and other additions?
The custom characters and so on.
ah. yes everyone seemed to think the characters are separate and there a are different version of the each each with their own character in it. But this is not the case. It is very similar to how it is now. There are random background characters already in the game. I am just giving a opportunity to make them customizable. I will paste the message I sent a few people.
These characters will basically depict how Maiko is viewed around the school based on her actions. They will also show up in other places where content is lacking. Maybe trying to spy on Maiko in the locker room for example. Or doing it out in the woods at night. Or in the water at the beach. So they will all be in the single public offline version as I update it. They can say things to Maiko as she enters a certain location. And it can optionally be based on, conditions such as if Maiko has beaten Luma in something or after she joins a certain club.
it wont take forever to do. especially if I can make it a mod. And I have a pretty good idea about how I want to do it.
A mod option for your flash well this was expected but not in this big way. It is almost tamping to get back into modding. Damn responsibility over pleasure damn you I say. Well business before pleasure.
Those eyes look nice was that done by the mod tool you had in mind that let you port? Or did you actually change the skin again?
I just planed on changing the skin again. but mod for the eyes would be pretty funny. People can make whatever eyes they want lol.
if do the characters that show up in between areas then that would be a totally imported character.
Reptilian eyes, cat eyes the imagination could be endless. LOL
It would have been cool if I could have left in the option to upload custom school outfits too. But it was just loading way too slow. I need to code in as3 if I want to get serious about programming in ways to mod stuff. as2 is not optimal for it. or much of anything heh.
Don’t bother doing it if it’s going to slow the program into a shitter. cloth skins and color skin etc is enough. I remember you doing this having gone through a big slow down only to remove it.
Anyways how far are you taking this mod idea of yours?
@justjoe2k
I haven’t started but it is not more than a day or two worth of work at most.
I will just have a script that has a % chance to load up a certain custom dialogue.
in fact I might try it tonight to better understand how difficult it will be.
The art looks nice, i still like the current one, its kinda hard to accept changes on something i am used to for some time, thats how i am, lol.
With some base models you can make most character different, as when you experimented with the eyes before, you need different versions to avoid the “baby face”. Jinru for example should have a fierce kinda look on his eyes and so on.
The patreon thing means i can have a bg character ingame??
