Hey guys. Just wanted to share the good news. WtPC2 is sitting at around 25% complete on a first draft of the script. Esperknight has put together an initial script inserter and we have a basic script insertion working up to the first choice segment in the game. I grabbed some screenshots and posted them to the project page. They are clickable for full versions. You can check more out here: http://projects.mattsmessyroom.com/welcometopiacarrot2/



It should be Azusa Hinomori btw. Still need to proofread/edit.

Thanks guys.

I've only played a couple games like this but they are like romance novels for guys. I've decided that twilight for guys is probably the best way to describe Tsukihime. I agree with you Red Soul, the h content is optional, though can be fun. I'm playing White Album on the PS3 which is a general audience version (still rated 17+ oddly) and I'm having a good time with it.

I think the appeal is in some ways just wanting to read a story about love working out, and think about some of the possibilities of relationships. Without getting specific, I've been watching the animated version of Yosuga no Sora and it's actually helped me think a little about feelings I've had and get some perspective on them. Guys don't get a lot of venues to explore feelings really. These kinds of games are a way to do that a little. I think it's really constructive.

Even some of the touchy-er subjects are kind of good to bring up as subjects (in a game) sometimes just to air them out. Like "yeah, human beings feel these things" and gain some objectivity. That's one of the reasons why I don't understand when people get really worked up about censoring games/comics/cartoons or whatever. These are safe venues to think about things good or bad. We're not talking action here but thought. If people can get some perspective on their own feelings, why censor that? I have a shirt that says "THINK: It's not illegal yet". I hope it never will be.

Glad to hear you are in a good relationship WB. I have my own circumstances. I'm just happy to be having some professional success for now. Hopefully the personal will come along in time.

@Red Soul: I've never played a raising sim but I always thought the premise was pretty cool. I actually had a copy of Princess Maker for like the 3DO or Saturn or something that I didn't realize was collectible when I sold it on ebay. I got suckered into letting it go for $20-$30 when it was probably fetching twice that but I'm not holding a grudge. I'd still like to try out something like that at some point. The second Magic Knight Rayearth game on Game Gear is actually a raising sim, not to mention a cool looking PC-FX game called Comic Road. Both titles I've been eying for possible translation.
