School Days HQ official thread/FAQ

Like practically all eroge, School Days does not list the ages of its characters anywhere. However, it is trivial to show that the characters are 18+.

School Days (and School Days HQ) is by 0verflow.

0verflow is part of Sofurin/the EOCS url=http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%90%E3%83%BC%E3%83%95%E3%83%AD%E3%83%BC_%28%E3%83%96%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89%29[/url]

Games released by EOCS members do not feature sexual activity involving characters aged less than 18 years of age url=http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%B3%E3%83%B3%E3%83%94%E3%83%A5%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BF%E3%82%BD%E3%83%95%E3%83%88%E3%82%A6%E3%82%A7%E3%82%A2%E5%80%AB%E7%90%86%E6%A9%9F%E6%A7%8B#.E3.83.AD.E3.83.AA.E3.83.BC.E3.82.BF.E7.B3.BB.EF.BC.8818.E6.AD.B3.E6.9C.AA.E6.BA.80.EF.BC.89.E4.BD.9C.E5.93.81.E3.81.AB.E5.AF.BE.E3.81.99.E3.82.8B.E8.A1.A8.E7.8F.BE.E8.A6.8F.E5.88.B6[/url]

THEREFORE all characters in School Days HQ save for characters like Itaru who are not featured in H scenes are 18 years of age or older.

EDIT: I can’t provide English language versions of the aforementioned sources.

The ToS says only that you agree not to upload ‘obscene’ materials. No court has ever found School Days to be obscene. If they wanted to ban all sexually-explicit material, they could have done so. There is no ToS violation at all.

Of course, the ToS says they can remove anything they want for any reason, or no reason. But you can’t be said to be “violating” that section.

#243

Maybe you should just host a wiki someplace else. I’d totally put up a general eroge wiki if it weren’t for the fact that MediaWiki can be a headache just to maintain. Still, maybe things are a bit different now, software more mature or whatever. Would people use an erogewiki.org (or something?)

#244

What purpose would it serve? Like,what would be on the wiki?

[size=50]And there’s the chance that you get bored and stop working on it.[/size]

#245

I assume it would be pretty much pages about specific eroges, eroge characters, eroge writers, eroge artists, you get the picture. Stuff that wouldn’t necessarily pass on Wikipedia but could still be of interest.

also I wouldn’t work on it, other people would do that. that’s the point of a wiki!

#246

Doesn’t vndb count as an equivalent?

#247

I would indeed love for someone to translate that interview with Kanno… Make the wiki pretty~

#248

Not really, I imagine something far freer in structure to eroges to be described in as much detail as they warrant. Swan-eye’s #4375th nukige would probably get at most a short page with a few details, much like a typical vndb page- on the other hand something like Clannad might justify a longer page, perhaps with individual pages for each of the major characters etc.

It would also support a good amount of detailed information on things that aren’t eroges such as scenario writers, artists, brands etc.

#249

Post a link if you ever decide to do this.

#250

in the updates tread it says Working on technical issues i hope those dont take long to fix

#251

Seems like the limited edition of this game is going to come with a mousepad. Better to me than those panties xD.

#252

I’m happy to report there’s been no crashes during normal gameplay for chapters 1-3.

#253

Does anyone know what the primary differences (aside from being in English, of course) between the HQ version that’s being translated and the original 2005 Japanese release are? From what I understand, the original version was also an animated game (be interesting to play, never knew those existed prior to this), is this true?

I wish good luck and an uneventful beta testing cycle for the devs working on the translation :slight_smile:

#254

Yes, the original was animated. There’s animated eroges that predate School Days though; Green and LOVERS come to mind. There’s also those horribly ugly 3D ones by Illusion, Teatime etc. but those probably don’t count; not really being ‘animated’ (as in, drawn)

From my understanding:

  1. Higher resolution
  2. Updated artwork
  3. Some additional endings and other scenes

Note that I’ve only played the original, not HQ.

#255

A mouse pad is definitely more useful than panties, but I still couldn’t see myself paying extra for a LE just for it.

#256

If i remember right:

  • The artwork is now High Quality and has the same standard that Cross Days has
  • Better resolution
  • The game is compatible with the SOM
  • New endings
  • New scenes
  • Walkthrough is slightly different for the older endings
  • Some ending names changed
  • Endings that weren’t named were named
  • The game runs on a better engine
#257

So they chose the mouse pad? Not sure if I’ll be getting the LE then. Especially if it’s the same mouse pads you see when google imaging “school days mouse pad.”
Will there be more to it than that?

#258

I’ll be honest, a mouse pad - especially the ones on google images - is not really pushing me to buy a limited edition. And it really wouldn’t be too tough to convince me to buy a LE if there was actually something I was interested in.

#259

As opposed to what? The Sekai panties? ¬_¬

I’m not sure why they decided not to do that. Myself I’m not even sure I want to buy the game at all, so there’s no way I was going to buy any LE anyway.

#260

As opposed to something I would actually want. A shirt, a keychain, something Nice Boat related…There are several things better than a mouse pad I’d be embarrassed to own or panties. Personally, I’m not here for the animated porn, I’m here because the anime made me want to try the game.
