Serial Loops
An Editor for Suzumiya Haruhi no Chokuretsu (The Series of Haruhi Suzumiya)
Link
Current version: v0.2
Serial Loops is a full editing suite for the 2009 Nintendo DS game Suzumiya Haruhi no Chokuretsu (The Series of Haruhi Suzumiya). In its final form, it will essentially act as a visual novel engine for the Nintendo DS, allowing users with skill and creativity to tell whatever story they wish to tell (although we do hope to see a lot of Haruhi stories!).
As of the current release (v0.2), we support:
- Editing the script files which determine the structure of each scene, with a live preview
- Editing the scenario, which controls the order in which scripts are loaded
- Replacing backgrounds (with a crop/resizing tool) and editing the names of CGs as they appear in the extras mode
- Replacing system textures (UI images mostly, but also things like the title screen)
- Replacing background music, with functionality to change the volume and loop parameters of each track as well as their names as they appear in the extras mode
- Replacing voiced lines and (if using the English patched ROM) editing their subtitles
- Editing character nameplates
- Editing place names
- Editing topics, including their names and how much time they gain you in the puzzle phase
- Editing the UI text
- Applying pre-defined ROM hacks (such as skipping the OP)
- Exporting (but not editing/replacing) sprite sheets & GIFs of character sprites
- Exporting (but not editing/replacing) sprite sheets & GIFs of chibis
- Viewing (but not yet editing) maps, puzzles, and "group selection" items
- Editing game banner data, including the icon and title
- Searching through items, including the ability to search for specific things like dialogue lines
- Building and running the project from within the editor
If you're interested in telling a story with these characters or just want to try giving creating a visual novel on the DS a spin, make sure to check it out!
