My stuff, mainly related to Higurashi

Mr. Delicious.

Working on the ps3 graphic mod of Tatarigoroshi, the basic part (no scripts changes) is done.

Higurashi ch.2 Watanagashi - Graphic Mod 1.0 now available

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/ggd83ppkclafg/Higurashi_EP2_-_Graphic_mods

This doesn’t include the voices, but the author of the latter should make the sync between both mods soon I guess.

NOTE : It's possible that you won't install properly the script part. A simple way to confirm if that's the case or not is if the sprites of Tomita and Okamura in the first chapter appears.

Previews for the full Ps3 graphic mod of Higurashi Ep2 Watanagashi on Steam. Coming soon.

[theguraguraman]

Test for an high quality remaster of the original Higurashi art.

[theguraguraman]

More work in progress previews of my Higurashi fansprites, with Rika’s, Satoko’s, some tweaks for Mion’s and her others clothes sets.

[theguraguraman]

are the voices in onikakushi supposed to cut out in chapter 12?

No, the full thing is voiced.

[theguraguraman]

Wip of the next fansprite, Rena’s.

[theguraguraman]

Reminder that Kei Natsumi’s Beato is the best Beato.

[theguraguraman]

My try at doing a custom sprite of Higurashi for fun, along with the expressions. Though poses variations and the other clothes aren't done. Yet. May do them later, but I'm rather planning to continue with one for Rena as well first. 

And ended up making some kind of character profile card cause I felt like it. Background was taken from the Ps3 game, rest is mine.

Umineko will be released on Steam

Our next major announcement is Umineko When They Cry from 07th Expansion, creators of Higurashi When They Cry!

In Umineko, the player will join Battler, a scion of the wealthy Ushiromiya family, as he attends their annual reunion on the island of Rokkenjima for the first time in six years. However, that night, a disaster falls upon the Ushiromiya family, and they all begin to fear for their very lives. Battler’s cousin Maria believes the golden witch Beatrice has returned and committed murder through magic, but Battler doesn’t believe in such a fantasy. Still, could anyone in his family really have killed their own kin for the sake of riches? You know both the situation leading up to the incident and its tragic result, but the course of events is an enigma, and no one willing to share the whole truth. What really happened on Rokkenjima that night?

Fans of Higurashi will already be familiar with Umineko‘s unique manner of storytelling—over the span of eight different chapters the player will experience several different ways in which events of the murder may have played out. None are certain. All bear truth. Will you be able to piece together the real story of what happened that day by the climactic finale? Accompanied by a soundtrack worthy to deem this prose a ‘sound novel’ just by itself, this enticing tale is a must-read for anyone who enjoys thinking outside the box.

We’ll be working with the team at Witch Hunt to update the translation for Umineko alongside this new, official release on our platform and Steam. We’ll also be including new character artwork for this upcoming release! We plan to follow R07’s episodic release system with Umineko in order to to make it accessible with the new art as soon as possible, just as we have for Higurashi.

Holy shit, the hype is real.

“as soon as possible”. Well, see you in 5 years then, kek. Seems like they’ll use the Witch Hunt version and improve it, cool for them since they’ll get money from it.

Also, that means we have some chance to finally get Tsubasa totally translated.

Any news or updates in regards to Une's and Tamura's new sprites in Sui?

No confirmation but the fact we saw them in the last news page pretty much proves Alchemist didn’t forget about them and most probably intend to release Hou’s arcs as a DLC.

Hi, sorry to bother you! I'm about to have an abundance of free time and would like to start a fanmade adaptation of Miotsukushi-hen in English. I've started manually copying down the script from the Sui version of Miotsukushi-hen, but it's pretty time-consuming, and I was wondering if it would be possible to extract the text strings from the game data directly so that I can spend my time on translation.

You should ask the anon that ripped the game. So either on the thread of /jp/ or here :

Final Question. Is there guide that you follow or you know, because i believe the choices are not told to you with voice. And like i said my kanji is really bad.

I used the guide book of Matsuri that I imported for the choices. Pretty sure nobody ever scanned it.

Kizuna has got even more so it was difficult to unlock everything but this helped a lot for the first game :

Hi. I'm sorry if i'm bothering you, but could answer some question about sui again? 1. Does Sui have every tips from every Higurashi game? 2.What kinda new features does sui have? 3. My kanji reading is kinda bad, but i'm good with Japanese speaking language so is sui good to start practice kanji more? 4. What Arcs have the choice system?

Every tips of the original games should be in Sui.

Story wise, Alchemist adapted the 3 first arc into some kind of route game where choices gets you more or less heroine points to unlock the arcs.

The others arcs has got some extra scenes through choices as well, usually bad ends, but it’s not as major as with the first arcs. Himatsubushi has got Akasaka’s daughter added in the epilogue also, like in the manga.

Otherwise, there are obviously the exclusive arcs with ton of tips for them.

And I don’t speak japanese, so no idea for the difficulty of the text.

[theguraguraman]

Is there a textbox patch for the Steam release for Higurashi currently? Thanks!

There isn't. Don't intend to make any either.

[theguraguraman]

Does Higurashi sui have CG animation feature in CG gallery mode and are those wallpapers free or do you need to buy them? Also what is your favorite Arc and least favorite?

Sui doesn’t have animated scenes like Matsuri, don’t really know why. The CG menu is exactly the same otherwise. If by wallpaper you mean the Alchemist illustrations of the CG menu they’re just viewable like CGs and unlocked through the game as bonuses.

I guess my favorite arc would be either Tatarigoroshi or Tsumihoroboshi.

I don’t really have a “least favorite one” since it would look like I didn’t enjoy it, but by ranking it would be Watanagashi or Himatsubushi.
