That's an even better idea that slipped my mind as I was writing that up. It'd need to be a vast array of disabilities to prevent too many people from getting the same thing, with a small chance of rolling a second one and an incredibly tiny chance of rolling a third.

Being deaf would prevent you from being able to "hear" chat that wasn't sent using the "Sign" language option, and being blind would prevent you from "seeing" sign-language chat.

Speaking of which, another thing I didn't think to add was that you could learn "skills" such as languages by attending the proper classes for them, and at the right times. Certain skills would be required to be at certain levels to interact with certain players or NPCS. Continuing the above example, you'd need to learn the Sign Language skill to be able to talk to deaf characters directly, discounting workarounds like pen and paper. Non-communicative skills would include art or music, and would allow your character to participate in activities related to those skills.

Another thing I just thought about is a "dynamic profile" system, where when you /whois someone, you don't see their profile information until you talk to them and learn it from them. How this would work is probably through an interaction menu that would assign a trait or profile detail to be "revealed" upon sending a chat message or other multiplayer interaction such as an activity (minigame).

The moral of the story is that I think too hard about hypotheticals.

So like Rogue Legacy but more evil?

@Eurobeat...That's depressing. Poor Saki...

If your a double amputee and you run around too much you can end up with an infection and be stuck in a wheelchair for several weeks.

Then you're contractually required to install the Slow-Kill-O-Tron® peripheral attachment, which, as the name suggests, slowly kills you. In real life. Sorry, you're the one who wanted realism, now put on your arm cuff!

While I was writing my previous post I had a thought about someone hooked up to a VR rig with a suit that could put pressure on the body, and thought about pinching off a limb to numb it for an amputee simulation.

Getting away from tanks and online games and back to stuff that could used in the actual game...


The Sexy Schoolgirl Expansion pack doesn't affect the dialoge or plot any, but all female character sprites are redone to have tighter and skimpier clothing. Hanako will probabaly have a body stocking or something on under hers.

Even Skimpier expansion pack. No description or screenshots are shown for this one just the title. You won't know what it actually does until after you start playing and see that it's put all the MALE characters into skimpy thongs. May or may not have a pop-up message telling you that somewhere the devs are laughing at you.

Turning Japanese The normal class uniforms are replaced with more traditional Japanese style school uniforms. Honorifics are also added to dialogue.

Because ever game needs a zombie expansion pack backgrounds in the game will be changed to make it look like there's a zombie apocalypse going on. Some of them might actually even show zombies attacking other students. There's no change to the dialogue or plot.

Behind the scenes After the credits role, you're treated to a scene where the lead girl of that route does a brief interview. Mostly they just complain about their story and how they were written. Emi denies that the shed scene ever happened. Shizune's interview is cut shot when Misha gets into an argument with her about the story and walks out leaving nobody to translate for Shizune.

I thought of something like this before but never knew how to explain it. Something I would really love to see.

Reminds me of the Katawa Shoujo Blooper Reel that I read with the Yamaku Book Club. Not exactly a behind the scenes interview style thing, but more what kind of shenanigans would happen if it were being shot as a movie.

The proper form of speech must be chosen for most every interaction. The wrong choice will build disrespect which can eventually or immediately lead to a bad ending!

Clever Girl: All characters replaced by dinosaurs. All dialogue and inner monologue replaced by dinosaur onomatopoeia. Keep your eyes peeled for an added Archer cameo.

Isn't that a bit redundant...? Most High school here is more or less the same--depending on what school you're enrolled in, the only difference would be how the uniform is designed.

Unless you're referring to sailor fuku and its male counterpart. Those are mostly middle school uniform; high school wise, each school has its own variation (except the males. It's either the black overlay which we use in winter-spring, a shirt, or a shirt with blazer. No, we do not use shorts.)

Oh come on.
We're not that tight among friends. Casual speech exist you know!

...unless you're in the office or real world. Shit gets real when you slipped the casual to a customer or your seniors.

Although most of the time between friends it's pretty casual. A bit of formality is necessary when interracting with a senior, but it's nothing crazy.


Here's some DLC:

Yobikou pack:
Completed the high school experience? Now, get ready to face the after story and thrust yourself in those days where you will have to prepare for university!

Work hard or walk down the washout lane for another ronin year!

Ryuugaku pack:

For those who think reality is too mainstream or wish to go deeper into the feminist conspiracy.

I can see it already. Shizune would be a raptor, Emi an ornithomimid, and Rin would be a T-rex.

Oh I know, but where's the fun in that?

Only Kenji's dialogue and scenes acknowledge the zombies.
