 Shira Oka: Second Chances is a Raising Sim for the PC designed to be a homage to games such as Tokimeki Memorial. It was developed by a Californian company called Okashi Studio's which has since disappeared. You play as a high school student who gets sent back in time because he was such a failure in life but fate gave him a second chance. From there, you have to develop your skills, hang out with people and reach graduation without failing everything or being a loner. Shira Oka is not a good game. I'm going to state that flat out. It gets horribly repetitive, it desperately tries and fails to be Tokimeki Memorial and the production quality isn't very good, particularly the art. But it does have a lot of writing and they do play around the central concept a bit. You can go from a complete failure to the perfect model student and it's pretty drat satisfying. It's a game worth taking a look at, but it's just not fun to play. Luckily, I have a soft spot for this so I'm willing to bite the bullet. Like I've mentioned, this game has a ton of gameplay issues. It's not a matter of real difficulty, it's mostly just tedium. I've played through this once before so I have a general idea of the beats of the plot and the game. But there's very little information out there on the net, especially since Okashi's forum went down. Now all my info comes from TvTropes, a V0.15 guide on GameFaqs and the Wayback Machine's records of the forums. There is a huge amount of stuff in this game and I've likely never seen some of it before. I'll try to filter out the tedium, so don't worry too much. I'll go for as many routes as I can before I burn out. If I finish the game, it'll be a drat miracle. If you want to talk spoilers, do it in spoiler tags. The endings just wouldn't be as much fun if they didn't come out of nowhere. Oh yeah, credit to vibratingsheep for LP'ing the Tokimeki series and the thread for introducing this game to me.

Right as we boot up the game, we're treated to this opening. I'll leave it to you to make sense of it. Into the game.   When the time came, I didn't even bother applying to university. What was the point?     Sometimes I wonder if things could have turned out differently... Maybe if I had just tried a little harder in high school... Studied a bit more... Or made a few friends... Anything at all... Nah. What's the point?  Gratefully collapsing into bed, I sink into a dreamless slumber disrupted only by the morning alarm.  This morning was different, however. I woke up feeling miserable, and it wasn't just the usual hangover.  I called a doctor to make a house call. He said it was just a cold, though the booze couldn't have helped. He calmly assured me that with some medicine and bedrest, I would feel better in a day or two. But I've never had a cold that was quite like this before... why do I feel so hot?  Demons seemed to haunt, begging at your brain, filtering every thought with fear.  Days seemed to melt into each other, and nights lasted years.  Finally, the heat seemed to subside a bit, until, with a sudden shock of blinding clarity...   And that smell... what is that? OH. drat... I reek of sweat. How long have I been in bed?  Head is throbbing... and I'm dizzy... Can barely see...  Huh? It's May second? Are you kidding me?! What is that... Two... no, four days?! I slept for four days??? That seems impossible even with that crazy fever... Probably just pulled too many pages off the calender...  I thought I tossed them back in high school... Kind of embarrassing... Good thing no one sees me like this... My voice is really bothering me...  That's the last thing I need... And... uh...  Maybe the fever was so bad I died and went to Heaven... but then, why am I still in my room?   Or to herself. She doesn't seem to notice me... I guess I should try to get her attention.   : Come in? I was asleep in my bed. : Who are you anyway? : You sound unsure. : Sorry, it's been such a long time. I had to think for a moment there!  : "Haven't been around someone in a long time?" What have you been doing? : What do I need an agent for? Heh, too late for that... : Besides, I had to shoo away a couple d-: Demons? I swore I saw demons while I was asleep.: Demons? Teehee, of course not! Silly, why would you think that? I was going to say...um.: Dust bunnies. It's a little dirty in here.You'd think she would give someone a break when they've been sick in bed for days.  : I sure am. An angel wouldn't ever lie or deceive anybody, you know.: I guess that's true.: And speaking of honesty. You smell icky.: Hey, I was in bed for four days. I probably do.: Oh. That's true, I suppose. As long as you're going to fix it. And shave your beard. Boys your age shouldn't have beards!"Boys my age"? I'm twenty. : Alright, fine... so, you worked in the library? : Sorry to hear you got switched, then.: Heh, switched... or fired...: Fired? You can get fired from a library?: If you're clumsy enough... : I see...: I don't know what was wrong, they just seemed to fall down as fast as I could put them up! I guess they figured I'd do less damage as an agent, heehee!: Great... : Er, you haven't done anything yet...: ...Hahaha! That's right! We're just starting out on this adventure! And I'm here to guide you every step of the way!: Great.: Yup! First off, let's take a look at what you're "made of".I'm going to co opt this here for the most part. We're going into the first part of character creation.  We need a name. Don't know about any filters, so I'm just gonna say keep it safe.  She's totally going to buy us a birthday gift!  Birthday will affect star sign which will minorly affect the sliders we'll see in a bit.  Blood types affect your compatibility with people. It's probably a minor effect since most people on the forums used to just ignore it. If you don't feel like picking one, I'll just get Satsuko to pick it for us.  These four attributes affect how the rest of your stats develop. Sometimes they come into play for events. There's one rather notable event that is very difficult to do until your fitness goes up. 2 points for the first point, 4 for the second, etc. Sliders determine how specialised you are. If your slider is put towards strength, you'll have more strength than someone with a balanced slider and equivalent fitness but they'll be faster. Sliders just make things more confusing. Star sign might influence it but if not, they're going to stay in the middle. These affects events.   That would be the case if I didn't have access to Shira Oka's forums through the wayback machine. From the forums: Lazy (0 stars): No ambition. Your character doesn’t like to follow things through. Determined (1 star): Does his best to get things done, doesn’t necessarily finish. Ambitious (2 stars): Gets things done and done well. Tip: Improving this quirk helps unlock more dialogue options. Jinxed (0): Very unlucky. Fails more days than not. Lucky (1): Luckier. Better chance at passing classes. Charmed (2): Passes classes at a much higher level. Tip: Improving this quirk helps you get good activity results easier, and also unlocks some dialogue options. Scatterbrained (0): No attention span. Attentive (1): Better attention span. Focused (2): Nothing can distract you now! Helps you remember stuff both in and out of classes. Tip: This helps unlock more dialogue, as well as slow down the panic timer. Filling this completely turns off the timer. Amnesic (0): No memory. Who are you again? Forgetful (1): You remember a little more, but not a lot. Encyclopaedic (2): You remember everything just a few times after you come across it. Tip: Improving this quirk unlocks more XP and dialogue choices, since you’re able to recall more and more of what characters tell you. ...I don't remember a panic timer at all. Oh well. And yes, we do start off as a lazy, jinxed, scatterbrained amnesic. Rough life.  I got a little bored when I was getting these images. : So... what do we do now?: It's all up to you! : I suppose you're right. I'll just leave these with you, then. I'm sure you can figure out how to use these on your own. The thing up the top is the important thing. Left box is the calendar date with the day of the week. The 6 bars in the middle box show our proficiency in these stats on a 100 point scale. The two bars on the right represent our physical and mental exhaustion, on the left and the right respectively. And uh...   Best buddies. So we need a name, date of birth, blood type. We also have 20 points to allocate between our 4 stats and 4 quirks. The formula for points needed for the next level is (current level *2). For quirks, they have preset values. Points needed are listed in brackets next to the quirk. Lazy > Determined (10) > Ambitious (12) Jinxed > Lucky (8) > Charmed (15) Scatterbrained > Attentive (8) > Focused (12) Amnesic > Forgetful (12) > Encylopaedic (20) Bold your entries and don't worry too much about this. We'll end up shoring our weaknesses and we'll grab all the quirks before we can get the golden ending. Mysticblade fucked around with this message at 06:24 on Jul 2, 2016 |

Obviously he should be named Goon Lorde. Birthday of May 23 and blood type AB. Looking forward to this, I enjoyed playing it.

This looks...interesting. No preference on the name, but we should consider investing in charm since Charisma is the strongest stat in these kind of games. Otherwise, raise Amnesia to the next level. Amnesiac heroes are annoying.

I remember there was another attempt to LP this, and I suggest the same name that ended up winning last time. There is no better candidate for a dating sim protagonist than Keima Katsuragi.

Well, we've got two votes for Goon Lorde and I like the name so we'll go with it. Goon Lorde, born on May 23rd, blood type AB and we're investing in Charm with the Forgetful trait. And yes, Okashi Studio's was founded in San Francisco in 2005. They're now defunct and their website isn't even functional. Shira Oka's website is falling apart and potentially not safe.

 I never realised that Gemini's were also born in May. I'm May 17 and I'm a Taurus.  Combine this with the stuff from being a Gemini and we're a disciplined, complex, manipulative but ultimately kind individual. Don't think this is going to affect us much, but it's neat to look at.  6 points on Charm, 12 points on Forgetful. 2 points left, we'll talk about that later.  Our in-game stats have changed because of our increased charm. We're down half a level in Lit, a level and a half in Science, a little bit down in Art but we got 3 levels of fashion and 6 levels in popularity. Certainly a change.  We're still exhausted, physically and mentally so we rest. It's also the only option we have currently that can take up time.  We sleep in for four days (whoa) before our first event triggers. Events always replace whatever activity you were doing that day.  I probably should get out of here for a while to clear my head. Game: You quickly dress in some clean clothes and head outside, wandering through town.  Greenery Day is basically a day to enjoy nature in Golden Week. ...And all of Golden Week, what a letdown. Oh well. I guess I could celebrate Greenery Day a day late. Maybe I should go to the woods and check out the trees or something...maybe get some flower seeds to plant in front of the house.    Who is that...? : Me? : Sorry, have we met?  Shira Oka is a bit inconsistent about name order. Sometimes it uses Japanese name order like here, but I recall it using Western order somewhere.  : Heh, I guess you WERE pretty sick that day. You even left your phone on the counter in the nurse's office. If your parents are anything like mine, they'd kill you if they found out you lost it. Anyway, here's your phone back. That ain't normal. Uh... : ...Thanks. How did you end up with it, anyway?: Heehee, I grabbed it on my way out after taking you to the sick room. And you should be grateful that I did. You never know who could've made off with it.: Ah, thanks...: Man, you must really be weak or something, Missing THREE AND A HALF whole weeks of school? And you practically passed out a ton of times while I was helping you to the nurse's station! Maybe you should start hitting up the gym to build your stamina or something...: I'll keep that in mind...Add weak to our list of negative character traits, if you want. : You must be so behind, too! What a bad time to be out of school... you probably don't know anyone!: That's true... : I'm glad to see you're alive though.: Uh, thanks...: Which means you can take this awesome quiz I found in a magazine.: What magazine is that?: "Teen Sci-Fi Princess Weekly", of course.: Oh...Not my usual fare either. Here we get dumped 5 questions. I'd love to give you guys a shot at this quiz but I'd also like to get to the rest of the characters. I can let you choose later. Here, I just chose some answers.      : Okay, thanks for the info!: So what does it mean?: What does what mean?: This quiz. What were my results?: Oh, it looks like I lost that page... Argh, I bet my little sister tore it out. She's always doing stupid stuff like that.This quiz determines what events will trigger so you can meet the rest of the cast. I don't know what each answer results in but we can keep a record as we go through this. : Sorry to hear that... : Heh...: So I guess I'm pretty much your first friend, huh?: Yeah, it seems like it...: So as your first and best friend, I'll introduce you to some other people so you won't have to hang on me all the time. This unlocks the shopping district as a date location. But I'm not sure if we've unlocked the ability to go on a date yet. : Wow, great. I'd really appreciate that.: Blech, but not right now! I have to be running home. We're going to the beach as a family.: Oh, alright.: I gotta get running. My family will kill me if I'm late! You just took up a ton of my time, Lorde. I don't want another of dad's lectures on the importance of being "frugal with my time".: Oh, I see.: Make sure, you're rested for school on Monday! I don't want to drag you to the nurse's office again. See you around, Lorde. From our 4 days of sleeping in and not dong anything, our Science, Fashion and Sports went down. Talking to Aya did make our Popularity go up. Sometimes events can mess with stats. We sleep over the weekend and then start sleeping in the school week since we can't do anything else yet.  Not a fan of sleeping in class. Sleeping on the weekends feels more efficient. Tuesday triggers a new event for us.  : Oh, okay.: Ooh, I hope Hiroshi's there! He's so cute...: Heh, who else is in student council?Huh, they do typo's just like me. I tend to drop words a lot when writing sentences. : Let's go see!   Yeah, these two will never get along. I like that this game has characters who are enemies. Feels better than everyone getting along.   : What's that supposed to mean? : I wanted to introduce you guys to the new guy. : New guy, huh?: Hello, nice to meet you two.I'd be dropping more comments about these characters but I wanted you guys to make your own opinions first.  : Hiroshi, Alice, this is Lorde Goon. : Hi, Lorde! Welcome to Shira Oka!  : Whatever...... : Lorde, I know just how it feels to be new at a place where everyone else already knows one another. This gets us the "Chat" option. It raises Popularity mostly but it does help a bit with Fashion and Lit. : Thank you, I'll keep that in mind.Hiroshi assesses us for a bit. : Hmm, not bad...: Er...what's not bad? senpai has noticed us In case it hasn't come up, Hiroshi's in the year above us.   This gives us "Groom". It lets us increase our Fashion a lot, with a bit of a boost to Popularity and Art, : Uh... thanks?: Ugh, you're so full of yourself, Hiroshi. It makes me sick to my stomach.: Yeah? Well you make me sick to my stomach when you eat that weird greasy stuff.: What grosses you out about chili cheese fries?!: You're going to get fat if you keep eating that.:YOU'D BETTER SHUT IT RIGHT NOW-: Heh... so Alice and Hiroshi are on student council...: They must get a lot done...: Do you guys have any ideas for the year yet?: Well, we were just kicking around ideas for the school festival.  : What was it? It's quite unconventional.  ...I admit, I'm kind of curious as to what it would look like.   : Did you have a better idea, Alice? : It's cultural and fun! : Yeah, that sounds boring. Hiroshi's idea was way better.: Grr, just stay out of this, Aya! Ugh! I'm going to try and stay nice and neutral for this first run. For the most part. : Hmm...something like a Halloween festival?: Halloween?: It's a day of the year when kids dress up in costumes and go door to door collecting candy!: What does that have to do with spirits?: Hmm, well no one knows for sure when or where it started, but it originally had something to do with chasing away evil spirits. : Hmm, it could be interesting. We'll think about it.: Yeah, it has a lot of potential. Nothing's better than costumes and candy!  : Yeah, nice to meet you Lorde! Another date spot. This one's pretty good too. It goes well with a surprising amount of people. : Well, bye for now.We sleep for the rest of the week with nothing coming up. Then on the weekend, we decide to chat for a bit.  Well, we are Mr. Popular...   Then for next week, we decide to groom ourselves a bit. This involves putting on a clean uniform. For now. We trigger an event on Tuesday.  : Hmm?: Come over here for a sec! : Oh, hello.: Kiku, this is Lorde Goon. He's the kid who missed the first three and a half weeks of school!We have a very impressive reputation.   : Uh, yeah...that seems to be going around... : Good to see that you are in good health, though.: I was just telling Kiku about this awesome new book I just read. : It's still a book! Just because the stories are told using pictures doesn't mean it's not a book, or any less of a good book.: Whatever...: Well how do you feel about it, Lorde? : Uh... I don't know...If you asked me this in real life, I'd say yes but I'd also say that's because they can both be utter garbage.  Kiku took a step back from Aya when she mentioned the name of the book. Smart move. : Nope, can't say that I have...: It's all about this beautiful alien princess who has to defend the whole galaxy against this evil empire! : It doesn't really sound like something I would read, normally.Sounds like trash to me, honestly speaking. : But she also gets this totally cute robot penguin as her sidekick who helps her kick some bad-guy butt! What is there not to like?!Robot penguin does sound intriguing but Revengeance already had robot dogs so... : I wouldn't waste my time on a book like that.: She's lying! She's read it. : You LOVED the last manga I made you read, though!: Well...: No one can resist a good love story! : And plus, there's pictures so it's even better! You can see the looks on their faces and all...: ...: I'll have to check it out sometime. : Thanks, I will!  : Is that the excuse you tell your parents when they ask why you bomb a test every time a new manga comes out?: Ugh, you're so annoying sometimes! : Thanks for the advice, Kiku. I'll try not to get addicted.: Come on Aya, let us go get ready for class.: Get ready for class? Who does that?: People who want to pass make sure they at least have the right books.I always carried all my books for the day with me. Is that unusual? : Ugh, you really are a drag sometimes. We get Study Lit from this. This increases Lit a lot and Science a bit. : See ya later, Lorde!That's Kiku's introduction. We do some grooming on Wednesday and Thursday triggers another event.  : I wonder what all the fuss is about... : Someone hurt you, didn't they? Who was it? Hey! Hey, you1 Was it you?: Who, me?: Lorde, did you do something to hurt my sister Rena?Are normal siblings this close? My sister and I never really paid much attention to each other.  I haven't mentioned this but some of these lines are voice-acted. It's rather unremarkable since most of them have been rather bland but Rena's is OW : What's going on...?  I just didn't feel typing that all up.  : No!What a choice... : Anyway, let me just make one thing clear, Lorde. : Er, don't worry. I won't hurt her.: Whatever is going on, Rena, I'll get to the bottom of it. You can't keep secrets from me.  : It's okay, I understand. : Yes. It's nice to meet you, Rena.  : He just barged over here and started asking me questions! He wouldn't even let me explain!: Why were you upset? : He just assumes that somebody hurt me or something like that...: I guess he just wants to protect you.: I know, but he should be a little nicer... Please don't think badly of him. : Teehee, he is. I wonder if he'll take me to the store after school so I can buy a new tanuki pen... : I see. Do you want to borrow one of mine until you get another one?: That's okay, I have a cute bear pen to hold me over in the meantime.: Okay.: Ooh, I should get moving. It was nice to meet you, Lorde! I'll see you around!After that, we still have one day of grooming left for the week.  It turns out to be a critical success. There's four types of outcomes for training. Critical fail, fail, success and critical success. The better you do, the more points you get towards your stats and the less physical and mental stamina it drains.  Anyway, our Sports and Science are falling to pieces but we're still popular. Next time, we'll be meeting three more people. We've got five more people to meet but if I recall correctly, the last two will take some time to meet, especially on this set of events.

If I'm remembering right, this picture actually has that panic timer you were saying you didn't remember earlier. That circle behind the guy is showing how long you have to answer the question before you just stammer out something dumb instead. I forget if it's just the noncommittal answer that you picked anyway or something totally different, though. I tried this game out but these raising sim games where you have to juggle stats just aren't my thing. I figured out a way to use Cheat Engine to rig the stats and managed to see a couple endings, but it was still really tedious to me so I only ever saw the two. Looking forward to seeing what I missed.

Yeah, that being the panic timer would make sense. Those things disappeared in the end half of my last run. And with Hiroshi, you don't need to worry about him being into his sister. Shira Oka is inspired by Tokimeki and I seriously doubt Tokimeki would've done that. Maybe some other VN or raising sims, but I never got that feeling from him.

This came out on my birthday and I played it and got through the entire game and got all the endings and I enjoyed it. I wasn't going to play it again all the way through, but there are plenty of games I *haven't* finished so I guess I enjoyed this more than most people would. The repetition got a little annoying but I think I took a month long break which helped break it up, and by the end when you become godlike you can just focus on one person and zoom through to the ending. I'm a little sad that the people are gone now, because I honestly enjoyed it, but I guess I didn't enjoy it enough to really want another one, so I guess it's not a huge loss. Hope they found somewhere else to go at least, so they're still working in the field. They weren't *bad*, they just might have needed some more experience or something, I think. Anyway, here's to going back over some of the endings so I can remember everything. I am pretty sure I'm forgetting Rena's ending, for instance.

 Reminder - the cursor leaves behind sparkles when you move it. Anyway, we start this weekend off by studying lit.   These are the normal success and fail. If we want to keep our lit up, I'm going to be seeing this a fair bit. Fails still give some stats but they give less and they drain you more so.  Actions on the weekend and weekdays have different animations. We're at school now so we're studying in the library. Thursday comes and another event pops up.  New girl is in the middle. : Something smells good...: Aww, that's so sweet! : I'm sure I will! It looks fabulous!: Hey, Lorde! : Pretty good, I guess...  : Huh? : Nothing! Please, keep eating!: Okay... : I don't think I have. : Nice to meet you, too. That really smells good. Did you make it?: Yes, I did! : Definitely! : When did you start cooking?The other option looks a bit insulting in the sort of "did you make these?" sense.  : That's impressive. Yep, we'll meet Kazuki eventually. He's not going to be around for a while though.  : He'd forget his head if it wasn't attached.: He would... but it's alright. : Oh, thank you! It looks delicious.  : Huh?: Nothing! Just keep eating!: Okay... I like food but cooking is  . Here we unlock Study Art which improves Art a lot and fashion a bit. I use this a lot.: Yeah, she's not kidding!: Anyway, please enjoy it! I never realised how few lines Hiroshi had in this scene. He's usually more of a personality than this.   After the week, our Lit went up by 1, our Math went up by 1, Art went up by 1 and Fashion fell down by 1. Our mental stamina bar went down a lot. That's a big problem with Study Lit and Study Science but we'll have to just suck it up and find something physically exhausting to go with it.   I like the music animations but the art ones are better.  Our poor science stat continues to fall. We'll be able to fix this soonish but Science/Math is a hard stat to raise.    An unexpected streak of luck. A good sign to do more art!  It's, uh, a new style.  Art also raises Sports a bit but it's usually just enough to stop the natural decay. We nap over the weekend and then start the week with more art, but Monday brings us an event.  sparkles (I actually don't have footage without the cursor, whoops) : What about?: Swim season's here! It's just about the greatest part of the year! I'm really, truly awesome at swimming. : Yep! We don't really have many... Or...er, any, sometimes...people to compete against but it's all sorts of fun!: So you like to swim?: Oh, I just plain LOVE to swim! Ah, so Goon didn't join the swim team on his first time through high school. : It trims the body and makes you get rid of the chub, too! This is true. Joining the swim club will give you some sort of affection bonus for the listed people. : I see. Ouch. This means we've failed a Sports/Fitness check and we can't be on the swim team, proper. : Towel manager?: Yeah. The team needs someone to come to the practices and meets to help with the towels and all that boring not-team junk. Sounds like a real nice gig. : I see.I literally copy pasted that line from earlier, mugshot and all.  We can't join any other clubs, we don't have to show up if we don't want to and we get free affection. : Sure.: Awesome! And with that, we get the Towel Manager action. It's uh...  We also grab our first point of XP. Or 21st. You can spend XP to increase your attributes and your traits much like the stuff we did in character creation. You get it by experiencing new events and new outcomes.   Yep, Towel Manager sucks. We did this over the weekend, one success, one fail.   Technically, Towel Manager increases your Sports. However, the potency is garbage. Towel Manager is more of a worthless consolation prize than an actual action. If we'd gotten onto the Swim team, we would have Swimming instead which is very good at increasing Sports. You can get +5 Sports from one good week of swimming. We go back to Art, triggering an event on Tuesday.  Game: You set your books down and notice a pair of feet sticking out from behind a board. : Who could that be...?Game: You move the board slightly, and startle the girl sitting there.  : Oh, sorry! : Err, I came a little early for class. : What? Why?: I'm not sure... I guess my watch is fast or something...My watch used to be like 4 minutes ahead until a friend figured out how to operate my watch. It was not exactly my proudest moment. : *sigh*: I'm Lorde Goon, by the way. And you are...? : It's nice to meet you.Game: She shrugs and stares at you expectantly, as if waiting for you to say something else.  : I feel like I've never seen you around before...: Oh...: Though, I was out for the first three-and-a-half weeks of school... She's finally turned around and started paying attention to us. : You don't know?: Am I supposed to?: Oh, sorry... it seems like everyone was talking about it...: I don't pay much attention to gossip, sorry.Personally, I love gossip. : That could be a good policy.: Gossip spreads hard and fast here, however. It seems most everyone thrives on it.  I thought I'd save myself some transcription effort and just take a few extra photos. : Oh well, enough about that. We didn't think. Our best buddy Satsuko is a angel. : Yes. I had a high fever but it's gone now. I even thought I saw angels.: Angels? That's a little silly.: You think so?: It's not realistic. Then again, you were sick... : So... why are you over there? : Sorry, I was just curious... : Why not read outside? It's nice out.: It's quiet in here.: I see. So...what are you reading? : Oh.: I guess you're not interested.: It's interesting, I guess...: "I guess...": Sorry... Can confirm. Plus, my legal studies class would often give us extra reading to do in the form of case studies. A lot of that stuff was messed up but it was fascinating. : And that's why I don't think we would have much to talk about. Sorry. They teach a lot of useless crap in high school math and science classes, but a small portion of it is actually useful.I wonder if the writers were a bit bitter about their own high school classes.  : What really fascinates me are the engineering principles related to architecture. I wish they would cover more of that in high school classes.: I see... : I think so. Need a hand?: No, thanks...: I'll see you around, then? That's Kasumi done. We've got one more person to meet this update.  Our Science/Math stat is in shambles so we study.   You can do either Science or Math in the animations. We failed the first thing but succeeded on the next.  It'll take some time, I guess.  That's a critical failure. I like it more than the normal fail!  Could just be a correlation, not causation thing but I feel that being tired reduces your success rate. Because of that, I tend to rest fairly frequently. We rest a bit, do some more art and on the 27th, we meet a new person.  Too bad there's nobody around... ... Huh? Game: Suddenly, there is a girl walking down the hall that you could have sworn wasn't there before.   : Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. : Do you know where I can find this classroom? : I can't find it and I'm going to be late... oh, my name is Lorde Goon, by the way. : I hope I'm not bothering you. I just saw you walking here so I figured I would ask. : Oh, it is... not a bother at all. I think... you could not find the classroom because the number is smudged.: Yes, it's a little difficult to read.: I can take you there... if you would like.: Thank you. That would be great!: Okay. : ...: I would like to hear what you think... : Oh, are you a member?: Did you not know that already...? Anyway... I have just joined. The school... wanted to turn the lot into... another building... The horticultural club saved it... and now it is a garden... : Interesting. I'll see if I can drop by for a meeting. No, we can't actually join the horticulture club even if we hadn't joined the swim team. It's a pity, since I do like flowers. : Sure, I'll try to fit it into my schedule.: Yes, I feel proud to be...a part of the club. Such beautiful flowers... we make ikebana frequently.: I can imagine...: There are also a couple of sports clubs that seem to be popular...  Working out increases your Sports. It also recovers some of your mental stamina but it's expensive in regards to physical stamina. It works really well with studying lit or science. : I am afraid I do not know what else is offered. Sorry.: Oh, that's okay.: Well, here we are. Thank you for talking with me.: No problm, and thank you for helping me out! Well, that's Yui. We have two more people to meet. Kazuki and Minion #1 will come a fair bit later if I recall correctly.  Anyway, that's it for now. I should really start studying lit or science and we need to work out. We also have 3 points of XP to spend. We can get one point of Intelligence, Fitness or Creativity. If there's a majority, I'll take that, if not, I'll just pick a random thing to level.

Looks like we'll take a point of Intelligence. I also remembered to change the opening YT link into a polsy link and I'll have to remember to do that for future videos.

Is it possible to join the swim team now, or is it something you had to plan for during character creation?

 First up, we grab that sweet, sweet point of Intelligence. While it's too late to give us a starting bonus, we still get an increased rate of growth for Lit and Science.  That's good because exams are on next week and our Science/Lit are garbage.  We spend our weekend studying Math (integration by the looks of it) and then we sleep for the actual week.  Going into a test while tired is pretty bad. Your grades will drop by 1 grade depending on how tired you are. If you're physically tired, then your Sports grade will go down a grade. If you're mentally tired, your Lit, Science and Art go down 1 grade. If I go into a test tired, I will reload and redo the week so I'm not tired. It's a rather bad malus.   The test goes on, nothing eventful happens. We don't have to answer any questions, it's just a stat check like the Tokimeki tests. No immediate feedback but we'll get that next week.  Well, we'll do well in Art, if nothing else... Clicking that wing button under the cursor on the right lets us talk to Satsuko.   Menu's nice and smooth so I frequently check in with Satsuko. The first option lets you check if anyone likes you or is interested in you, The second option tells you if the person with the least affection and how you can fix that. The third option lets you get info about anyone you've met. No fancy card for that but we can still get some good info. If you guys want to see anyone's opinion of us, just ask. Satsuko's advice here is legit good. She'll tell you things like "be friends with this person so person 2 will like you" or "person 1 hates person 2 so if person 2 likes you, they'll dislike you".  Doesn't matter if you're amazing or not, it's kind of hard to not get this before the first semester break. : Er... is that okay? : But it's not great if nobody really likes you either...: So nobody likes me?: Well, nobody really thinks anything about you, Goon - nobody really likes or dislikes you. We're quite mediocre so it'll take a fair bit of effort for people to warm up to us. : Get out there and start making some friends!: Alright, alright... Love and friendship are different things in this game. Friendship can be gotten fairly easily, but for love, you'll need to spend a fair bit of time with that person for an extended period of time. High school will be 3 years so there's plenty of time. : Really?: Nope. I mean, nobody really dislikes you, but nobody really likes you, either. : Try hard and maybe you'll score a date one day.: I see... Satsuko's legit helpful, especially when there's so little info out there.  We spend the weekend chatting to people. Or no one on Saturday. On Monday, problems occur.  : Good morning, Satsuko. What's going on? New outfit so I'll try to show off her new sprites. : Sure, I guess.: That's good...: Yeah...: ....: So... why are you dressed like that?: Well... : What? High school? No, classes certainly weren't fun. : How am I supposed to explain you? : Well...you can't just pop into school for a day.: Why not?: Well, what are people going to think if you're there one day and gone the next?: Well... We'll think of something! Come on, just let me come with you!: No. : Look, not today, okay? Maybe we'll talk about it later. : Sorry, I'm going to be late for class...Game: You go to class, but Satsuko does not follow. She waits in the hall for you, and you worry the entire time.  : You look tired...: Yeah...: Just a little sleepy still, I guess... That laugh...no... : Who's that running around in the hallway? Oh no, it's-  : Hey, are you new here?: Yup! goon, why don't you introduce me?: Oh? You know her, Lorde?: Er, well...this is my... : Yeah, this is my cousin Satsuko, from...: Sweden!: Yes, from Sweden...: Haha, you guys don't look related at all!: Er, well, she IS a distant relative... very, very distant...: It's nice to meet you!: Yes, nice to meet you, Satsuko!: Nice to meet you too! Friends, eh? : Er, let's go talk first. : Come on. Let's go.: Aww, bye guys!: Bye!: Nice meeting you!Game: You look for other people to introduce Satsuko to, though she knows you are a little annoyed.  : I told you not to come with me today!: I know... : *sigh* : It's alright...: You just don't understand! : What about me?: ... : Gee, thanks...: Please, just let me stay for today? I promise, I'll be good! And I'll stay home tomorrow!: *sigh*: Please...?: Alright...: Yay! ...Mistakes were made. Ugh... here we go... Goon has learned to detest Hiroshi this early on. A moment of brilliance. Game: You find Hiroshi in the cafeteria.  : Huh...? : Nope, my name's Satsuko!: I'm Hiroshi. Nice to meet you. whoops : You're my distant cousin. You are NOT lost.: Well, sometimes I feel lost...: *sigh* oh ouch : Hey! Was that a shot at me?This event triggers regardless of the answers you choose in Aya's quiz. So this does set you up to consider Hiroshi as the "enemy".  : Yes...?: You don't look like you're transferring here...  She's broken Hiroshi's smug defences. Good job, Satsuko. : But I can't help but notice...: What is it?: You're not wearing a uniform.: That's because I'm just here on a visit!: Aww, that's too bad...: I know!: Maybe we can go o- Good job, Goon. : What? Goon, I-: Heh, I understand. Later, Satsuko.  Hiroshi's does have his moments where he's not being a terrible person. It's why he has a route. : No, he's just irritatingly full of himself sometimes.It sets him up to fall though. There's one character who really enjoys teasing Hiroshi. I like her.  : You and everyone else...: Oh well... let's go meet everyone else!: *sigh*Game: You continue through the cafeteria and find Aya, Naoko, and Kiku in the middle of a conversation.  I was helping out with baking some cookies just before writing up this update, actually. : Are you sure you aren't full already...?: Yes, you have already had a lot, Aya...: Aww, come on! What's one more going to hurt?  : Oh, hello there...: Hey guys. I want to introduce you to my cousin, Satsuko.: Oh, hello!: Nice to meet you.: Hiya! : Are you transferring here?: Nope! I'm just here to check up on Goon! Heehee!: Oh, how nice of you.: Where are you from?   : Which one? : I see...Sounds like someone doesn't believe in us. : Oh, that's very interesting. I've always wanted to visit Sweden!   : So I have heard.: Here, try one of these cookies I just made, Satsuko.: Aww, I wanted that one!: You have had enough.: Yes, mother... : It's okay, I'll share with Goon! Since he's such a good cousin... : Oh, thanks!: Mmm, it's so good!: Yeah, this is great!: Would you expect any less from one of Naoko's recipes?: Absolutely not!: Aww, you guys flatter me too much!: Hey, Satsuko...: Yeah?: We should get going...: You're not going to stay the day?: *sigh* I guess not... : Likewise! Please come visit again!: I sure will! Bye!: Bye!: Come on.Game: You and Satsuko continue to wander through the school, though the hallways seem mostly empty.  : Oh!: Huh?It's nice that people can communicate in monosyllables. I do it quite frequently. : Sorry, I bumped into you! I'm so clumsy... : Excuse me... : I don't think so...that's Yui, and she seems to be really quiet...: I see...: Still, next time you should be more careful.: Well, thanks for letting me come visit school today, Goon! I had such a great time!We must prepare for the inevitability of Satsuko coming back to school. : I'm glad.: Please let me come back again sometime?: I'm sure I don't have a choice... : *sigh*: Oh, I almost forgot!  We call people out on dates once they warm up to us. We also need their phone numbers and, well, we don't have any. : I even marked a few places on it for you. I usually default to the Park for dates but the Cinema is also very good since it has like 6 different genres to watch and the movies do change occasionally.  You've got a random chance of running into people. Different places will give you different people. Yui and Rena like the park, Aya and Hiroshi like the amusement park, etc. If you don't find anyone, you just spend time with Satsuko and it's a wasted day. : Well, I'll see you at home. Enjoy the rest of your day, Goon! We're doing some science this week. We'll need to improve our science for the next test.  Can't really expect to deal too well on your first test. Let's see how I did...     Hmm, better than my first time around. Got flat C's on my first run. Here's a table from a FAQ. A / B / C / D / F Freshman 1. 20 / 10 / 00 / ** / ** 2. 30 / 20 / 10 / 00 / ** 3. 40 / 30 / 20 / 10 / 00 Junior 1. 50 / 40 / 30 / 20 / 10 2. 60 / 50 / 40 / 30 / 20 3. 70 / 60 / 50 / 40 / 30 Senior 1. 80 / 70 / 60 / 50 / 40 2. 90 / 80 / 70 / 60 / 50 In my experience, the earlier grades are a bit harder on you and the later grades are a bit easier. Add 5 to the 1st semester stuff and then change the increase to be +9 per semester.  We can check our past grades. Useful to see if we're failing anything.  : Er, my grades. What are you doing here? : I bet you aced them all!: Er... So does everyone else. Aya sometimes has an event before the first test where she goes "haha, you're going to fail~". : Gee, thanks.: Oh, don't be that way. It's just that you've started over, after all. The first few tests are a bit harder because you have less time to study for them. We missed the first-three and a half weeks of school. : It's good that you're keeping track of your grades, Goon. I know you can get ahead eventually. Just keep trying at it.: Alright. But maybe you should be careful. People could see you...  : Just fine! And you?: Great! Well, we'll see you!: Uh... I guess they can! I'll have to be careful. Heehee! Anyway... just remember a couple of things. I linked that rough grade chart before. If our stats are too low, our rate of growth won't be high enough to do well in the later tests. Semester 1 of Year 3 is particularly brutal if I remember right. Lot of events go on at that time. : What do you mean?: You will need to keep up with your studies if you want your test results to equal or exceed your previous ones. Different characters have different stats that they like. The better you are in that stat, the quicker they'll warm up to you. Alice likes Art/Music, Kiku likes Sports, Aya likes Science, etc. I'll talk a bit more about this when we pick a route. : Just keep all this in mind and you'll do well. I hope you do better on the next test! Hmm? I was hoping to hold off on this for a bit longer but Satsuko's spoiling it. Oh well. Yes, you can be sent back multiple times. If you screw up, you can be sent back. If you finish a route, you can be sent back. The four stats we saw in character creation, our XP and any phone numbers we have are retained. I'll talk about the loops in more detail when we trigger it. We're coming to the first thing that can restart this loop soon.  Get 8 F's and Satsuko sends you back in time. This will change as we complete more loops. We can always ask Satsuko to see how we're doing on this front. : Anyway... now that that's settled.That looks really weird but it sounds okay when I sound it out.  If you guys want any information on the characters, I can write up a post real quick with some info about them. I'd rather wait until we meet the two last characters but feel free to ask.

So you know what gets me about this game? Nothing loving comes from this (at least so far). Okay, we get to be a butt to Hiroshi, that's its own reward, but there's no magical hijinks or misunderstandings. Just "HEY I'M SATSUKO!" x20 There's nothing like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSwnNy6MRa8 or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRO3JypdZXs

This is a cute and interesting game so far! Vibrating Sheep's Tokimeki thread inspired me to try out this style of game and I'm now an otome game junkie.  So, it's interesting to check out other games in the same vein. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes!My only real complaint so far is that it bothers me seeing girls and Hiroshi on the same screen together because their heads are all gargantuan compared to him and the disparity in proportion is jarring. Unless he's just got a freaky pin head because you're supposed to dislike him.

Shira Oka doesn't really get weird until we get to the endings. Unfortunately, it's going to be a fair few update until we get to the endings. It's a 20 - 25 hr long burn, but it's a slow burn that sputters out half-way through and then comes back to life at the end. Art is not this game's strong point. I have some examples. Though, these really are transition frames.

Uh, I was messing around with some technical stuff tonight and I seem to have found a higher quality way to get images. There's been some blur, particularly around text that's been bugging me but I hadn't found a real better way to do it. I finally managed to figure out my issues with VirtualDub mod (i was missing a decoder like an idiot) but the new images are a lot bigger. This is the one we were using before. This is 55KB.  This is the new capture. It's 340KB. There's a few ways we could go from here and I wanted to hear what you guy's wanted. My internet's plenty fast and this isn't the day of 56kB dial-up, but... Options are:

Well, I tried running you 340 KB PNG through optipng and didn't manage to reduce its file size at all, so I think it's alright for you to keep using JPGs if you're worried about throttling people on bad connections. If you're REALLY worried about that and you don't want to ask peeps to post several times to push the next update to a new page, though, you could put each individual SSLP update behind an LPix Test Poster link.

I just checked out some other SSLP's that have large images and it didn't seem too bad to me. I'll switch over to the higher quality photos for any new updates and I'll fix the old ones up at some point. E - Looking like a moot point. VirtualDub doesn't want to play. Back to the old format! E2 - AvsPmod works. A friend helped me out, so I can get some decent images. I probably should've done this stuff before, huh? Mysticblade fucked around with this message at 13:29 on Jul 6, 2016 |

 I took a bit of a look around and the 4 stats we saw in character creation are called Vital Statistics (Intelligence, Fitness, Creativity and Charm). The six up the top are called current statistics. The two stamina bars are actually called stress bars with either a (P) or an (M) so I'll call them physical and mental stamina from now on. Should be all the terms I need to clarify right now.  We try working out since we've got the phys stam to burn but we fail both days. Still get a point of Sports off it.  : Is that Yui...?...Yeah, it's Yui... I wonder what she's doing...  Game: She starts to cross the street.  : Hey, watch out!  Game: You are overwhelmed by a sharp pain, and then...  Game: It is as if time itself has become suspended. You feel nothing, and gradually even your thoughts slip away from you... After what feels like an eternity has passed... your consciousness is brought back into focus by a faraway, familiar voice.  : I think it deserves another chance, don't you...? Yes, another chance...Game: You seem to exist again, a painful, hot throbbing shooting through every bit of your being...  Again?  This is different from the first time. Such a strange deja vu...  Game: Demons seemed to haunt, begging at your brain, filtering every thought with fear.  Game: Days seemed to melt into each other, and nights lasted years.  Game: Finally, the heat seemed to subside a bit, until, with a sudden shock of blinding clarity...    We may be forgetful, but we can remember something big like this.  That girl there... she'll turn around and be... Satsuko, that angel.  We've certainly died once now. We don't know if we died from our alcohol induced sickness in the first update though. Bit of a moot point though, it doesn't have any effect. She's even saying the same thing. Now I'm sure this has been a dream. Game: You open your eyes, your thoughts suddenly returning to you. You look around, bewildered at what happened.  : What happened...? What day is it?!Game: You look over to the calendar and see that it's May second again, just as you'd previously thought. : What? How is that possible?! : What?! ...  : What do you mean? : It's a little complicated, though... Basically, I brought you back to when you first met me. : How is this possible...?: I can bring you back to this point if something really goes wrong... because I really want you to succeed! It's an ability of mine. I did it once and I can do it again and again, teehee. There are some things you should know, though...: What? Not quite. Our current statistics are also reset depending on our vital statistics.  Vital statistics, phone numbers and quirks persist through loops.  The second time you go through an event, you may have more options depending on your memory. Even a forgetful Goon can get a few more options. And more options means more XP. : So next time you're in a tight pinch, maybe you can make better decisions! The bus event will happen on July 18, first year, every time. It takes a lot more fitness and sports than we have to get it. At our Fitness, we'd need something like 50 Sports to save her. Not possible. At like 7 Fitness, it'd drop to 20 - 30, which is possible. The Fitness slider also affects this. Better speed means you can get it at a lower fitness. We're in the middle so the slider is a non-issue. : This will happen to you every time. If things don't go well, I'll have to send you back and we'll end up having you back where you started... every time.There's a way to make it through the bus event without the Sports/Fitness though. We don't need to grind within the tiny 77 days we have to save Yui without dying. : Let's see... what else do you need to know... OH! I almost forgot! : Come talk to me later when you're ready to spend the points you've gained so far.We've already boosted our Intelligence before. We've got 2 points so we could get a point of Fitness or Creativity. Both are good options. : Okay.: Well, we shouldn't stand here talking all day. You have a life to re-live, so get to re-living it! And don't forget to call me if you need me!There she goes again... I can't believe this is happening. I would also be terrified of the prospect of infinite high school. We start off on the verge of failing ill and into depression, so we take some rest.  On Friday, we head out due to events. Game: You quickly dress in some clean clothes and head outside, wandering through town.  Game: A feeling of deja vu washed over you. Wait, did I want to buy something? Game: You find yourself inextricably drawn to the shopping district.  Alien-Princess Warrior Fantasies.   This is what I mean by events changing. We're not going all "uh...". : Hey there, Aya. Sometimes, we also know things we really shouldn't. : Um... I'm not sure... ...Luckily, Aya isn't too fussed about this. : You sure are.: Well, it's about time you started coming to school again! Three and a half weeks is a long time to be out. You must be SO behind!Hey, we got a B in one subject.  Aya doesn't care what we say here. Conversation continues like it did last time until we get to another change. : Sooo... you may know me, but I don't know you. We have enough confidence now to introduce ourself.  : I bet your magazine there has tips on how to KNOW know me.: Actually, it does! How did you know?!: Lucky guess, I suppose. : Hey, is that the latest issue of "Teen Sci-Fi Princess Weekly"?...Why would you pick that to remember, of all the things? : It sure is!From here, we got to the questions.
Our selections last time were 1.B, 2.C, 3.C, 4.B, 5.B. The order of the answers is randomised but I'll probably keep using this list. Too much effort to write again. This affects the order we meet people in and last time it was:
You can pick if you want, or I can pick a random set of answers. Also, Fitness or Creativity? We've got the points for one and only one right now.

I dunno how much the order in which you meet people really changes stuff, so random answers for that. I vote for a point in fitness.

I know nothing about this game, but it'd be a little hilarious to have a game that purported to be a datesim but was instead about not dying to a ridiculous series of coincidences.

Eh? I thought the whole date-sim filled with dead ends was fairly common in Visual Novel type games, actually. Time travel and reincarnation are extremely overused plot devices across the whole genre as a result.

It's not quite a dating sim, but Long Live the Queen is a raising sim with romantic endings and it's all about not dying horribly. Gonna start recording, and I'll just roll with whatever for the quiz answers. If I don't get started early, I'll never work the motivation to actually write up the update.

Oh interesting. So there are like stat checks and you can basically keep at it till you're good enough. Neat! Do people get hit by buses a lot in Japan or something? I see this exact scenario over and over. Like Konosuba had it (or well a parody of it)
