I'm back in CH3.5, during the beach dorm wars. Just reached Eyes Close, Chin Up. Saw a image with lots of hard to read text, couldn't find a transcript in the search with the event name or image name ( afterthatyasuithing2 ). Thought I'd try to isolate and transcribe it.

From my quick look at it, it has 3 distinct messages, and I didn't catch one of them until it appeared in the extraction. If needed I could probably do a cleaner job, but I thought this worked well enough. I'd start with the actual image instead of a screen capture for starters.

Guessing there is some sort of illegality to using another families insurance.

Textbook insurance fraud using insurance for someone not covered by the plan in the first place. They were pretending it was the friend's daughter.

How much clubs are there at school in the first place? Did you really make a choice when the choices are still limited?

There's only a handful that survived, but there would have been a lot that didn't make the cutoff of 5 people using it iirc.

Series of backwards messages, but I can't make sense of how that would be translated. At least the wiki has the actual translations but oh well.

You'd need to know how to use an audio editor, and reverse the audio. I'm sure you can do it with audacity as the common free editor.
About 15 years ago I bought a lifetime license to an editor and that shit has been one of the best investments I ever made.

the next three animations are the three animations for inviteover events because they're already named as such. He could always fail to deliver, but it's what's planned at least:

I feel so naked w/o the guide mod too ugh - starting to make saves for the start of a new update just in case. Any unusual requirements for events in .47?

I am a bit bored of questions, so I made full chapter 4 walkthrough. I promise to keep this post updated at least until chapter ends

Updated my miniguide to 0.47. Finally it looks interesting (still pretty simple)

Some of you like to post pictures of fake scenarios that look like they are from the game. Someone mentioned an editor or something. Is this something everyone can do? Is it easy, is it complicated? Is it a secret?

The engine is Koikatsu, and the cards are on the first post under LiL KK cards. You need to learn how to set up shots, tho, otherwise it'll look weird.
Speaking of first post stuff, get the Naming Save Mod too, it's really useful.

The ones that actually look like they could be in the game are likely monthly comissions from Selebus. There's a bunch of fan made images but the lighting and framing is always off. Most of the character models are available to play with though.

Hey now, Zuko is actually getting pretty good with theirs. They even posted a lighting tutorial recently!
Fire Lord Zuko said:
First off: I really like these renders. I can almost envision it as a 'Battle of Kumon-mi' type situation, where Yumi makes open threats but Nodoka's just messing around. :LOL:

Secondly: you asked about lighting and shadows, sooo... mini tutorial time.

With all that information in mind, lets compare the final renders, both with and without added lighting:

Keep practicing, man! It's a really fun and addicting hobby once you get used to it.

Is the naming save mod safe to use? No bugs, no changes between versions and no accidental deleted saves or whatever?

And yeah, I think that's more on the complicated side. Wonder if the locations used for this game are defaults or if you need those too? I don't think I will actually commit to it tho. Looked at the lighting quoted just now and I don't think I want to go through the effort of learning that stuff.

Relatively safe to use.
Some things in game are unique, like the girls dorms.
Others are not, like the school.

Yeah, Kolkatsu — or any 3D modeling app — isn’t for the faint of heart. It takes a while to learn how to get things even into the right positions, not clipping (aka thrusting through each other in ways other than the fun ones), let alone lighting, framing, manipulating hair and clothes so they hang realistically… You need to develop not only a film director’s eye to compose shots on three dimensions (four, if you want to play with animation), but also a fair level of technical skill and a lot of patience.

I’ve played around with KK, Honey Select (by Illusion, the same Japanese studio), as well as more serious engines like Daz and Blender. (I was looking at adapting some of my fiction to VN or graphic novel form.)

And… I’m not sure I’ll ever be any good at it.

Still, it’s fun, if you want to play around with the characters from this game, or others. There are many tutorials to get you started and plugins to add items, functions, etc.

The funny thing is KK started, not as an anime-style 3D modeling engine, but as a silly school harem game of exactly the sort that the early episodes of LiL are spoofing.

Oh—and props to Selebus, for managing to take a fairly basic, limited modeling app and using it to create shots like the ones of Rin blowing bubbles in the baths.

View attachment dndbath30.webp Impressive!

(Yes, I’m pretty sure that most of the shots included in the game are heavily processed in Photoshop or some other pro-level image editing app. Still! Nice!)
