THE ELSEN SSP GHOST HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!

Yes that’s right, I’ve finally made a new ghost after all this time! This is a lovely Elsen from the hit RPG Maker game OFF, and he’ll be sitting on your desktop!

Unlike my previous ghost Dusk and Dawn, Elsen here is not as passive. He has some needs to be met, like keeping his stress low and his sugar levels high so he doesn’t become Burnt! To do this, you’ll be gaining Credits through various means and buying some meat and sugar, along with some other fun stuff! However, if that’s all too much for you, Elsen has a pause feature that allows you to play him passively.

HOW TO DOWNLOAD:

- First, download the SSP here. Just click the first download button. It’ll be a Japanese neko girl, and they’ll prolly jabber on a bit, but as long as they’re up and running, you’re set!

- Second, download the Elsen’s .NAR here! Drag and drop that .NAR file onto the neko girl, and she’ll start installing it. Once the ReadMe pops up, you’ll know it’s done! You’ll also want to download the Elsen’s balloon here.

- Alternatively, you can go to the Elsen’s little page here, where both of those are and some more information on the Elsen can be found.

- Third, right-click the neko girl and go to “Change Ghost”, and click Elsen. Now you officially have the ghost!

I’ve been working on Elsen for a long time, and there were so many things I wanted to add or improve on but couldn’t find the time nor feedback, so some things may seem a bit sloppy. If you have any feedback or bug reports, please do not hesitate to contact me through either here or other means!

Now for some thank yous:

@zarla-s - For making the SSP Ghost template and being a huge influence on English ghost making

@fullbottles - For making the OFF Balloon for their Zacharie & Pablo ghost, and just being a great influence for me making Elsen!

And the Ukagaka Dream Team Discord Server - if I didn’t have you guys, there’d be no way in hell my dear Elsen would’ve been made. You guys are awesome!!

A DUSK ‘N DAWN SSP GHOST UPDATE HAS ARRIVED!  To update them, either ask Dawn to update for you, or right-click Dusk and click the Update option.

This update is mainly for some fixes and a couple more additions. I’m slowly working on more ghost communications, but my motivation has been lacking, to say the least. Plus, I’m working on getting a new ghost ready for the public! So I apologize for the lack of anything substantial. I also apologize for the constant updates - I usually wait until I have something big added, but not only did I want to get the new medication reminder out, but a couple bugs needed to be fixed as well.

-You can now have 2 medication reminders at once! Simply go to the config menu for it and click “Add another reminder”, and choose its schedule. I had to configure SO MUCH just for this to work, so I pray people actually use it. I don’t think I’ll add a third, since I can’t imagine you’d need 3 separate schedules for oral medications.

- Dusk and Dawn can now talk to other ghosts! As of now, it’s not very complex, and there many even be instances where they’ll go into a infinite loop of hellos. Once I get more ghosts for them to talk to, I’ll be sure to let everyone know!

- When letting Dusk or Night name you, you can now add a title or honourific to it. A minor detail, but perhaps one someone may appreciate.

- Fixed a minor problem with switching between Dusk/Dawn and Night/Shade and their dress-up items. I don’t think it was actually affecting anyone, but it’s best to make sure.

- Fixed a bug where music files you dropped were not being added to any playlist. Once again, big shout out and thank you to Levidre for being the master of this code.

- And of course, added another dress-up item, this time for Dusk. Can never have enough of those.

As always, thank you to any and all who use and enjoy the Dusk and Dawn SSP Ghost! I know it’s not as popular as the UNDERTALE ones out there, but I’m always happy to hear people enjoying my silly lil bats.

ANOTHER DUSK ‘N DAWN SSP GHOST UPDATE HAS ARRIVED!  To update them, either ask Dawn to update for you, or right-click Dusk and click the Update option.

It’s unusual for me to update them so quickly after the last, but I figured I might as well get out what I got now since I gotta post their new balloon anyway.

- So as I said, Dusk and Dawn finally have their own balloon! It’s nothing major and it’s kinda basic, but it’s something. If you’d like to have their balloon, you can simply download it here. Just drag the .zip over to them and they’ll install it there.

- Fixed a pretty major bug where Dusk wouldn’t load properly for some reason. Have no idea what caused it - but hopefully that shouldn’t happen anymore!

- Fixed the problem where Dusk and Dawn wouldn’t tell you that the update successfully finished.

- Gave Night and Shade a couple more dress up options! Also some more basic dialogue.

So not the most important update, but it’s a bit more content. Next update (at least, announced update) will probably be something more major. As always, if you spot a bug, PLEASE let me know so I can fix it ASAP!

A DUSK ‘N DAWN SSP GHOST UPDATE HAS ARRIVED!  To update them, either ask Dawn to update for you, or right-click Dusk and click the Update option.

It’s been a while since I’ve done much with these fellas, but I decided to tweak and add a couple things!

- Dusk now has a Dress Up menu option! Instead of right clicking either Dusk or Dawn to dress them up, you can now go here and quickly do it that way! It’s now much more convenient and easier to change up their appearance whenever you want.

- Alongside that, a few new accessories have been added to dress them up with! All of them appear in the Dress Up menu.

- The reminder system is now split between two different systems! One for medications, and one specifically for treatments! I’ve said I wanted these guys to be useful for fellow CF’ers, and this is a start. You can turn on Treatment Reminders and choose a 2, 3, or 4 a day schedule. Unfortunately since it’s really hard to input custom times, the 2 a day schedule is on a 12 hour gap, and 3 and 4 a day schedules have preset times you can choose. Perhaps in the future this can be much better. Also, due to how these systems work right now, if you have a Medication and Treatment Reminder set on the same hour, you won’t see the Treatment Reminder, so be careful with that!

- You can now input unique pronouns! This goes for when booting them up for the first time, and going to the config menu and changing it there.

- And lastly, a few back to menu fixes that I somehow forgot to implement last time.

And that should be it! If there are any bugs or complications, please do let me know so I can fix them ASAP!

A TINY DUSK ‘N DAWN SSP GHOST UPDATE HAS ARRIVED!  To update them, either ask Dawn to update for you, or right-click Dusk and click the Update option.

I’M NOT DEAD! Nor is Dusk and Dawn! I wanted to do a few minor updates, since really they’re good as is.

- They now comment on the dress up items they’re wearing! They won’t comment on all of them, and they may comment on combinations as well!

- Now they won’t ask if you have other ghosts around if there’s another ghost open alongside Dusk and Dawn

- I think that might be it, actually... Though speaking of the dress up items, anyone have Dusk wear the Necklace of Memory? It’s a pretty nice necklace.

I know just recently Zarla’s Gaster can now comment on certain windows that are open, and I’d LOVE for Dusk and Dawn to be able to do that! So I may try and figure that complicated mess out. Also would like to see if I can add anymore “games” you can play with Dusk...

A small Dusk ‘n Dawn ghost update! To update them, either ask Dawn to update for you, or right-click Dusk and click the Update option.

There’s a really only micro-updates in this one - so no big changes. BUT, since Hunter & Smoker (along with Gaster I do believe) have now found a way to communicate with other ghosts, Dusk and Dawn will now respond properly. 

I’m not sure if Dusk ‘n Dawn will ever go all the way with ghost communication, since it’s... a lot, but for now they can at least respond whenever a ghost tries. Perhaps someday in the future this will be expanded upon.

Question about the Elsen ghost! Does using "Speak" do anything? Because I've been lowkey using it to talk to Elsen (like I reassure him that he won't get in trouble with Dedan, etc). He's been such a good drawing buddy, I want him to feel as comfy as he can QuQ

For right now, “Speak” doesn’t do anything important such as meddling with his levels or unlocking anything. It’s there mainly for a user to spout whatever they want. There are some keywords that he’ll specifically respond to, but that’s about it. I plan on adding more to that in the future!

I’m very happy to hear you seem to be enjoying his company! :D

I'm getting a glitch with the Elsen Ukagaka, and my discord is down so I figured I'd send it here, after updating his hard hat is now just floating way off his head

Oh wow, I completely forgot to adjust the position of the hardhat after updating his shell! That’ll be an easy fix, though.

Thank you for the feedback! I very much appreciate it!
