Bad end discussion topic

[Snicket]

I think Wokka is referring to the VN the anime is based off of. If i remember correctly it had 3..maybe 4 bad endings. Though i never played the game, so i don't know how those went.

As for the flow chats everyone is going on about. I don't think i'll being using them, even if they come out right when the final game does. I didn't look at the one made for the demo, nor am i going to look at the one for the3 final game. Though i do admit i was tempted to consult one when i was trying to get the 'piss off Misha' scene. Also the infamous 'Secret Rin end' tempted me as well, but we all know the story behind that end.

Anyway i figure that I'll play threw the game a few times. Getting a few characters ends (maybe more then once) Then decide to be adventurous and choose options that i normally wouldn't chose, just to see what happens. Which would probably result in a bad ending or two, but also in getting a few ends that was trying to get.

Secret who what!?

Relax it was a farce, a user got a hold of some KS sprites, backgrounds and shopped a few scenes and tried top pass them off as actual game content.

Here is the thread, going into it further.

Um... as I recall it's the thing about killing in the end? the boat and such.
Well... never ever I wish this to happen here.

That's just the animu version.
And this is probably the best moment ever to mention that I'm a bit of an 0verflow fan.

Thank God, I almost had a small heart attack when I thought I'd missed some secret ending. Hilarious shoop, though.

[Bhaal!?]

What about of some weird endings instead of bad endings, like SH UFO endings?

[kosherbacon]

How about a path that gives you a choice between two different flavors of depressing.


At the end of the second to last act, Hisao wakes up in a hospital bed and finds out that he's been in a coma, dreaming. All of his memories of Yamaku and the relationships he's built up till then never happened. However he does get the opportunity to patch things up with Iwanako(or not, and become a wangsty ball of depression.)
OR

Hisao has a happy ending with the girl of his choice, everything's all lovey-dovey. Fast forward through montage of dating and romancing. Finally they get married, exchange vows, and as they kiss everything goes white because Hisao's feeding tube in the real world was pulled out some time ago and he's finally died.

I don't think the audience will particularly like those methods of going about the story. And I doubt the writers like using those kinds of story telling devices.

Oh lordy I hope they wouldn't. Really.

Back before the demo came out (and the subsequent restructuring of the forum), I remember there were two Bad Ends in floating around. One was a Hanako yandere ending and there was another involving Emi and getting hit by a train.

They are fanfics written by crud, and can still be found on the fanfiction forum.

Delightful. Now if only we can divine the fate of that one story, "The Importance of Hanako's Ass."

[cpl_crud]

Divine away; I haven't had the opportunity to ban anyone in a long time.
Seriously though, those bad ends were both written before we started writing anything "properly", so don't think they're anything more than bad fanfiction. And iirc Hisao got hit by the train, not Emi. It occured to me when I was waiting for the last train home.

[EternalLurker]

involving Emi and getting hit by a train.

Yeah, that's what he said.

[Pumpkineat3r]

Going for? No. Probably going to get? Yes. Two of my first three attempts landed me on the roof with Kenji. Or on the ground, depending on how you look at it.
