Higurashi Daybreak

[umeboshi_onigiri]

Twilight Frontier’s battle action dojin game Higurashi Daybreak (http://www.tasofro.net/higurashi/index.html) is getting an expansion, Higurashi Daybreak Kai (http://www.tasofro.net/higurashi_kai/apend_index.html). The game is up for preorder at HimeyaShop (http://www.himeyashop.com/product_info.php/products_id/6771).

[Klashikari]

this is a bit redundant, but well, i guess it would be better if the game has its own thread in a more suitable sub-forum.
meh, i didn't expect himeyashop would already start the preorder so quickly...

here is a copy of the post i made on the other sub forum :

Higurashi Daybreak Kai

http://www.tasofro.net/index.html

Website of the game : http://www.tasofro.net/higurashi_kai/apend_index.html

now, here are the informations i could gather with a loosy translation with bablefish :
New Features
2 new characters : Hanyuu and Natsumi (obviously XD)
Third weapon mode for every character
Third Hypermode bar : Kakera (no information about its effect, nor its condition of filling/activating. Yellow Aura) => Some changes will be applied on Oyashiro and Friendship to increase the strategy choice between he 3 Hypermode
Spectator mode for Netplay Matches
Improved Hosting Interface : 8 slots, Improved Chat
New Stage : 「祭具殿前」 : saigu dono mae
New costumes
Game Balancethis game is an Expansion (bingo cpt obvious!) and will require Higurashi Daybreak previously installed.
this add-on will be released the 22nd April with FINALLY, Higurashi Daybreak Original Soundtrack (http://www.tasofro.net/higurashi/cd.html)
its cost appears to be ridiculous : 1000 Yens (yeah, expansion should be cheap, but heh, why not free big patch then? XD)

Additional Information :
Hanyuu will be voiced by Hori Yui
Natsumi will be voiced by Mizuhashi Kaori

so once again, Twilight Frontier managed to grant us a serious fanservice here, with that insane goody (omg, i can't wait for some "auuauauau" moments, while bashing some irie around XD)

As we can see on the screenshots :
1) Hanyuu seems to have a FC based on reflecting/shielding. only 2 charges.
due the ambiguous description, it might play also a role with some time control... maybe some slowing down effect on the oppenents/missile, or a haste effect on herself.
2) Natsumi sounds to be a less mindtrick melee character than shion, but some safer traits : according the description, she will stab several times, doing a barrage as a defensive and offensive move (like Rena's Renapan). 6 shots charges and 10 FC charges with her kitchen knife mode.
3) Rena third weapon seems to be an "even more insane" melee weapon than the actual great "splitting axe"
with only 1 shot charge, and 1 FC charge, it will be a "burst damage" character type (which will be the ranged nightmare... prepare yourself mion!)
Also, note that she has the "Ryukishi" outfit (litteraly : Dragon Rider)... huhuhu...

[gummybear]

wait, is this online play or single player?

[Klashikari]

both : it can be played with only 1 player (the computer control the non player character, but absolutely no difficulty setting so far.)
but it is more a Multiplayer game, with Netplay option.
don't expect something like servers though : someone hosts a game, and the other players can join the host game with host IP.

[Klashikari]

in advance, i apology for the double posting ~~
i don't think this is offtopic, and since there isn't any discussion on this thread, until maybe the release of kai, i think this "should be ok" ^^"

i have a suggestion here : why not some organization for Netplay matches?

this is a big shame that people with the game don't enjoy the biggest fun of the marvelous daybreak brawling bash so...

here is my idea then (if you can't call an idea ~~) :
i would like people who are playing this game, and who wants to play netplay to show up here, and let some informations about their availability and other things.
of course, i don't ask blatantly your IP or anything.

the purpose of this idea is simple : it would be way easier to find HD players, origanizing matches via PM/Chat/Instant messengers/whatever.

here is my information :
Country : Belgium
Time Zone : GTM +1
Availability : week : around 5-10PM. week-end : any time? :heh:
Host : no problem (i ask this, since some people can't host, while they don't have any problem in joining other host game)
Connection : DSL
Experience : playing the game since December 06 (this information can be helpful to balance matches)
Discussion : On AS forums, Hinamizawa Club, and on my MSN account (see my profile). i don't lurk on IRC, but i don't mind coming.you got the picture i think ^^"
currently, i got 2 EU players, and a third one soon.
of course, US players should show themself too (i don't think it will be THAT laggy but...)

meh... i hope it will attract some players here ^^"

[umeboshi_onigiri]

Nice initiative! I can not join you for the moment, but maybe later. Newcomers to the game may have some help from the Higurashi Daybreak Wiki (http://ikusat.mac.org/higu/index.php/Main_Page). Unfortunately it seems to not have been updated since december 2006, but may be helpful with the menues and the like. There is also some information in the World of Eternity Forum (http://efz.proboards36.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1151195460). If you play Higurashi Daybreak proper, do not forget the updates at Twilight Frontier (http://www.tasofro.net/higurashi/download.html).

[Toxic]

What do you mean by "proper"?

[umeboshi_onigiri]

"Proper" = not the expansion.

[Toxic]

The expansion isn't even out yet, is it? Anyway, what link should I click on that page?

it appear they also buff/nerf a lot the CS/FCS of various characters for their firing speed and all.
didn't test it at all, gonna do it tonight/tomorrow.

[Miko Miko]

so is it an online game, or do you buy it...?? :confused:

[Flame-X]

this game is weird but kick ass

[mist2123]

I just bought the game with the expansion! :)

[Shamisen]

Anyone still play Daybreak Kai? I've always wanted to play online with other people and I just recently discovered a little program called Hamachi. A few people are in the network already. Though I haven't seen them on. So it'd be fun to get more people in there. The network name is: day break and the pass is: day break

Just like that.

[Miko Miko]

is it online or what :confused::confused::confused:

LOL how many people are playing XD i wana join:heh:
RENA will own EM ALL using big cleaver-san!! XD

[Klashikari]

is it online or what :confused::confused::confused:
yes, there is a online feature, Netplay.
Basically, one player host the game, and the other challengers join it with the IP.
Any slot left will be controlled by the IA, and you can have spectators as well.


I'm still playing this, and the information before are still applied.
I might join this hamachi network channel, though it would be a good idea to have more information, as hamachi hardly help issues with localisation. (i'm not sure if America <-> europe will have a good latency...)

[Twarz]

Ah, great, i'm happy to have found this kind of thread :D It's been quite a while I was looking for other Higurashi Daybreak Kai players. I'll try to connect myself to the Hamachi network tonight 'cause it was full this afternoon.

[rogerpepitone]

I've analyzed the formats enough that it's possible to start translating and put up a proof of concept patch at http://www.mediafire.com/file/yoey1nwnqjg/patch-daybreak-01.zip . It's done against the demo version, and does minimal changes (Logo on opening screen rearranged, dialog of Rena / Rena after a match is replaced.)

Anybody who would be willing to help, please email (yahoo.com) or PM me.

[kingsky123]

im sorry to burst your bubble guys but daybreak online LAGS LIKE *"!"!%, i played on a LAN connection and it was laggy too = ='''

[rogerpepitone]

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lontmto0ong

[rogerpepitone]

Of the 11 people who downloaded the release, does anybody have feedback?

[Eryops]

Of the 11 people who downloaded the release, does anybody have feedback?
I tried installing it and it popped up an error that the checksum for daybreak00.dat was wrong and aborted the installation. The game works fine for me though so it doesn't seem as if its corrupt. I'm using Daybreak Kai version 1.11.

[rogerpepitone]

It's done against the demo version

Until Himeya ships my copy of Daybreak, I can only provide patches against the demo version.

[Eryops]

Until Himeya ships my copy of Daybreak, I can only provide patches against the demo version.
Ah, OK. Sorry for missing that.

[SiRence~]

A friend of mine who's currently in Japan sent me my copy of Daybreak Portable not too long ago and I'm really enjoying it. It's fun :D

There's a shop where you can purchase really funny and cute costumes and weapons ... like a toy hammer or a flyswatter (made me lol). The extra costumes will only get available when you play the story modus with the certain characters.
I was surprised by the little details in the different areas o_O;; In the trash dump area lies a corpse under a plane ... or so I thought at first. It was just Kenta-kun. xD;; (phew)

Since I didn't play the PC version of Daybreak, I can't say whether it's better or something, but I personally like it a lot.

Edit: Wow, you can purchase even other things in this shop. Didn't notice this until now ... You can buy new tracks for the battle BGM and also video tapes of the endings you've already seen.

[rogerpepitone]

Has anybody besides Eryops even tried to get this working? Did Eryops try it with the demo version? (If you have Perl installed, and they didn't change the organization of the daybreak##.dat files, then I can send you the files to make the patch yourself.)

[Golden Witch Drugs]

I tired to download he 1.11 patch and when it didn't work I downloaded 1.10 as well. But everytime I try playing it a error pops up :/ Any help?

[rogerpepitone]

I've got a new version out. This one is tested with the original (unpatched) commercial release, but should work with the demo or the patched release.

(The patch will probably apply successfully with Kai, but the images in the patch may not be used in the game. I think you'll get the translated version if you run it with the original executable, though.)

This is still at the proof-of-concept stage.
Translated parts are:
- Controls on the "key select" screen
- The label for "Oyashiro mode" vs. "Friendship mode"
- Names of characters in some places
- Weapon names for K1, Mion, Rena.

If anybody is interested in this, please send me a PM and I'll send you a link to the new patch.

[Kikyo_Cat]

I bought this game at an anime convention Dx
but it wont work on my fail laptop.


I'm going to ask my friend Mike to make it work for me ;_;

[rogerpepitone]

First public release for the registered version. (Due to lack of reply to previous post, only tested on my own computer. Not tested on DX.)

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?tzybglhxze2

[rogerpepitone]

Second general release. Tested with Daybreak proper and Daybreak Kai.

[Renan]

This is so boss, to bad I have the PSP version... *sigh*

[Ithekro]

There is a term I've not heard in a while.

[Renan]

Well Tomcat, sometimes we youth like to use hip and rad lingo like our four fathers before us. You know what I'm saying Champ?

[Golden Witch Drugs]

I tried to download he 1.11 patch and when it didn't work I downloaded 1.10 as well. But everytime I try playing it a error pops up :/ Any help?

Uwaah, no answers Dx Help a poor lil' girl? Pliis? ;_;

[rogerpepitone]

What was the error message? (Also, are you playing with my English patch or not?)

[Golden Witch Drugs]

Well, when I trie to start the game it says "This program could not start since d3dx9_25.dll wasn't found" and that pops up when I trie to play the orgiginal game (Without the english patch and kai patch)

[rogerpepitone]

Go to microsoft.com and download the newest versions of Direct X / Direct 3D.

[Golden Witch Drugs]

Well, I got it to work but... When I start the game the screen (Where you play the game) comes up black, but then an error pops up. It's a normal error, but I can't get it to work. Any help?

[rogerpepitone]

What's the "normal error"?

[Golden Witch Drugs]

Well.. Since I am swedish it's on swedish, but I can do a rough translation of it: "Daybreak.exe has occured an error and have to quit.
If you worked with something, the information that you are working with may be lost.
Describe the error to Microsoft.
We have created a erroraccount that you can send to us. The account will be treated (Couldn't figure out this word at all :P) and anonymous.

If you want to see the error in the erroraccount click here."

Then there are two clicking-bars, one sayin "Send erroraccount" and one saying "Don't send erroraccount"

Hope you understand the rough translation.

[rogerpepitone]

Also, are you using XP or Vista? I've heard Daybreak is not Vista friendly.

[WarriorKK]

Anyone still play this game? How can I connect to you?
We have two guys...

[Golden Witch Drugs]

Also, are you using XP or Vista? I've heard Daybreak is not Vista friendly.

Well, I use XP. But I have the real Daybreak CD that I bought over internet about 2 years ago. It's just that I really want to play the expansion as well. So I tried to download this. But the Daybreak CD works fine on XP

[Auria]

Also, are you using XP or Vista? I've heard Daybreak is not Vista friendly.

THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING *uninstalls Daybreak after trying like 2000 different things to make it work*

Well maybe a friend of mine can find a liking to this game.

[rogerpepitone]

Which "daybreak##.dat" files are in the same directory as the executable?

daybreak00.dat, daybreak01.dat, and daybreak02.dat are needed to play the original release.
Those and daybreak03.dat are needed to play the patched version.
daybreak00.dat, daybreak01.dat, daybreak02.dat, daybreak04.dat, daybreak05.dat, and daybreak06.dat (possibly also daybreak03.dat) are needed for the unpatched version of Kai.
And you'll need those plus daybreak07.dat for the patched version of Kai.
(Patched refers to their patches, not my English patch.)

If you have all the daybreak##.dat files you need, post a screenshot of the directory and I'll see if anything else is missing.

[Golden Witch Drugs]

This is my folder: http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/8415/directory.png

And as you can see, I got far from all the .dat's files I need. And I really don't know why I didn't get them, because I downloaded it, installed it, and I still don't got all the .dat files.

[rogerpepitone]

You need to put all those files in the same directory as where you installed Daybreak originally. (daybreak 00-02 .dat should be on the Daybreak CD. daybreak 04-06 .dat should be on the Kai CD.)

[Golden Witch Drugs]

I only got the original Daybreak CD, not the kai one, can I still get the Kai one to work?

[becky-chan]

THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING *uninstalls Daybreak after trying like 2000 different things to make it work*

Well maybe a friend of mine can find a liking to this game.

I have vista and it still works for me,keep trying and maybe you'll get it working ^_^

[rogerpepitone]

You'll need the Kai disc somehow.

The Daybreak wiki (http://higurashidaybreak.wikia.com/wiki/Higurashi_Daybreak_Wiki) has some tips on getting it.

[Golden Witch Drugs]

One question! Well... As I noticed not all the characters got special attacks... But apparently some got special attacks that just work on friendship/oyashiro. Is there any site where I can see wich one that got spe. attacks and on wich hypermode they are avaible at?

[Golden Witch Drugs]

When I try to install the english patch (perform-patch.exe), an error pops up so that I can't even start to patch it, any help? I have put it in the Higurashi Daybreak folder but it won't start.

[rogerpepitone]

What is the error that pops up?

[Golden Witch Drugs]

It says the file zlib1.dll is missing.

[rogerpepitone]

Look in the source directory. Copy zlib1.dll out of there.

[rogerpepitone]

Slight fixup of the patch that should avoid above problems http://www.mediafire.com/?n1aisdmjnem

[Golden Witch Drugs]

Btw, will you make a patch that covers the story mode conversations in the future?

[rogerpepitone]

Yes, I've found a volunteer who's translating the scripts.

[Golden Witch Drugs]

That's great :) How far have they gotten? And will they translate the Kai story modes too? (The 3 new teams)

[Eryops]

Yes, I've found a volunteer who's translating the scripts.
If it helps, this site (http://hidebu.wikiwiki.jp/?%BE%A1%CD%F8%A5%E1%A5%C3%A5%BB%A1%BC%A5%B8) has transcriptions of the victory messages.

[rogerpepitone]

I extracted the victory messages from the resource bundles long ago.

[KonataChan]

same, i extracted them aswell :D

[Daisu]

I have few higurashi PC games, as well as daybreak. Wondering if anyone had any experience porting it to a PSP from computer? DosBox allows you to run win95 on psp.

[Yami Sonozaki]

Is anyone still playing Daybreak around here? =P

[WarriorKK]

Me, and some my friends (are preparing for a tournament in my signature).
We're using Wippien to connect. I'm playing from 16:00 to 19:00 (GMT).
My wippien account: warriorkk@gmail.com

[Golden Witch Drugs]

I'm still playing :3 And I always will

EDIT: Btw, what exactly is Wippien? I don't really know much about servers ._.'

[WarriorKK]

Wippien (http://wippien.com/download.php) can creat a virtual LAN like Hamachi.
Since Hamachi banned a lot of IPs in my country, we use this program to connect. It's easy to use.

[Yami Sonozaki]

Wippien you say, hmm gotta try it out :D

[Daisu]

I want to play daybreak with friends, but not sure what to exactly do.

[Yami Sonozaki]

Do I really need GMail account for Wippien? Doesn't another type work? x_X

[WarriorKK]

You can creat and use a Wippien account in Settings.
Using Gmail is more "safe" when Wippien server is down...

[Yami Sonozaki]

You can creat and use a Wippien account in Settings.
Using Gmail is more "safe" when Wippien server is down...
What server do I need to choose ?

[Daisu]

jabberbr.com.
then brings up this wippien messenger, but still do not know how to use it to get a daybreak game going.


when we both use wippien address it just freeze on orginal or go back to connect screen in dx

[WarriorKK]

In Settings:
- Chose "I have..."
- In JID, type your Gmail / Wippien account, include "@gmail.com" / "@wippien.com"
- Password: your Gmail / Wippien's
- Port: 443, and check the box beside. Or, port 5222 / 8000 (best for Wippien), you should forward these ports, and don't check the box.
- Click "Test Account" button. If it says "Success", that means you can finish in Settings. If you can't click this button, click Password again...

Some tips:
- Forward those ports.
- Open all firewalls. If you can't ping or connect to each other, this is the reason.
- Enable UPnP in your router and go to Settings -> Connection -> enable it too.
- Close all download / upload running programs.



In Wippien windows:
- Click the green (+) button -> Add / Remove Contact...
- Type your friend's account, and chose Gmail in Server if your friend's account is Gmail's. Click "Add Contact" -> OK.

Some tips:
- You ONLY can play when the IP is black (not blue).
- If it's black, right click -> Ping... If time =< 30, you can play together.
- Even you do forward ports, open firewalls... the ping is still too large, go to reset your PC, close -> open Wippien, router.



Good luck.

Satoshi has finally appeared in Hidebu... But wait! Ookonogi and little Miyo!?

Yay! Miyoko and Satoshi are in Hidebu!! ^_^

I'm still hoping for manga and DS exclusive characters to join. Like Yae and Nagisa... it probably won't happen, but it'd be nice. ^^;

[Cavuy]

*delurks*
Yay a new one! And with Satoshi as well.
Now they seriously need to make a new PC version.

[Maho Momo]

I seriously want to play as Miyoko. If only I had a PSP...

[Shinguji]

I seriously want to play as Miyoko. If only I had a PSP...
Same here. *hopes in vain for a DS version*

Not only for Miyoko and Satoshi, but also, I'm liking those alternate costumes. Keiichi and Rena's matsuri clothes look so cute!! ><

[Daisu]

Hmmm what would be best place to import that from for Canadian resident?! playasia?

[blaze0041]

Curses! I was too slow!

http://higu.biz/dbp/
Hmm... it seems that this the new Higurashi Daybreak MEGA EDITION actually has a few changes, aside from 3 new characters and the odd interface change...
- Slightly enhanced graphics
- A new mode of sorts (and something about 330 MB), not quite sure what it is... http://higu.biz/dbp/system/newsys_01.html
- An improved pause menu that allows quitting the game in progress (a godsend!)
- Changes in story cutscenes- uses 2D art, rather than the 3D ones seen in the original PSP game.
- A far larger variety of weapons and costumes.

[SilverSyko]

Ho sweet! A new version of the game!?

I was very pleased with the original Portable version of the game, and this version will probably only improve on that.~

Thank you so much for posting this here or I never would've found out. This is a definite import for me!~

...I find it funny it's released on the exact same date the original HDP was but only a year later. xD

[SOGESNAKE]

I was gonna import Higurashi Daybreak before, but went with One Piece: Unlimited Cruise Episode 2 instead..... glad I did~


Once I get enough money together, this is a definate import~

[Renan]

This is freaking great. Satoshi AND Okonogi AND Little Miyo. I think I just came.

[blaze0041]

Another thing I forgot to mention:
http://higu.biz/dbp/introduction/newitems_01.html
Hanyuu gets a badass special move when in a Hypermode, using the "Onigari no Ryūō" (i.e. The demon banishing sword).
She dashes towards her opponent, stabs them, before launching them with her vengence; and automatically targets the other opponent when the move has finished. However, the major drawback of this move is that she might be vulnerable to the other opponent's attack before, during and after the special move.

[SilverSyko]

http://higu.biz/dbp/introduction/newitems_01.html

Is there anyone here who will be able to translate that page and list all the new features?

I want to know what my money is going towards.

My Japanese is not that good, I apologise if I got some stuff wrong...
1. 3 new characters, Miyoko, Okonogi, and Satoshi. 3 new teams are also added: Satoshi & Satoko, Satoshi & Shion, plus Miyoko & Okonogi.

2. Story intermissions and Victory sequences are now done in 2D, rather than the original Portable's 3D(-esqe?) art. Ending sequences are still in 3D (I believe).

3. Hanyuu gains a special move using the demon banishing sword. See my above post.

4. 16 new costumes to be purchased, including kimonos.

7. New opening?

I don't know the rest, sorry...

Alright, thanks for trying. I'm pleased so far.

Can anyone read the others?

If there's online multiplayer I'm gonna orgasm. x)

5. New story, something about a magic mirror can make your wish come true...
6. Additional features for toy weapons.
8. Transferring save data from Higurashi Daybreak Portable to this new version.

Hanyuu's new move looks like another version of Rika's EX-skill, "Satoko-dan" with me :heh:

[SilverSyko]

Alright awesome, many thanks.

Story I'm not too hyped about cause I won't be able to understand it anyway, though I am glad that the toy weapons from the first game are getting some much needed tweaks.

Data transfer is nice too, means I won't have to re-buy everything from the store and re-collect all those figurines I unlocked in the first game.~

[Maho Momo]

Awww... still no Rika and Hanyuu story then? D:

[Daisu]

I am still wondering where to best import through?

[SilverSyko]

I'd reccomend using PlayAsia. I've ordered all my imported games from there.

In the case of the original Daybreak Portable, I pre-ordered the Limited Box version and I got it in the mail EXACTLY 3 weeks after it was publiclly released in Japan.

So yeah, PlayAsia.

[blaze0041]

Awww... still no Rika and Hanyuu story then? D:

You never know... :P
However, that team in story mode might be too spoilerific for those who haven't seen Kai yet. (Actually, now that I think about it, only a small percentage who would buy this game would not have played/viewed Kai yet...)

[WarriorKK]

There was a PV for Mega Edition (Cam-shot version) on Nicodouga...
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm8372439

A little change in character design ((' 3')~arue? oji-san is now more manly?).
The characters in anime OP are now normal form, not chibi anymore.
It seems each new character has two weapons.

This isn't the actual opening vid right? And it looks they are keeping the same theme song. Don't get me wrong, I love Sono Saki, but a new one would have been nice :(

[Maho Momo]

That video is up on the main site now. :3

I'm glad that they changed Hanyuu's sleeves back to the color they should be. In the first they made them white (like her design in the Alchemist games)... but it looks so plain to me. Pink sleeves suit her much better imo. =w=

[SilverSyko]

Here's a direct link to the HQ version if anyone wants it:

Do you mean the PC version of the game? Cause in the original portable version her sleeves were pink/red-ish colored.

Nope, her sleeves were white in the PSP version.

http://higu.biz/dbp1/

Check her character profile and then watch the demo to see. :3

They changed it back to pink for this game (which is the original color). Her sleeves were pink in the PC version too.

I booted up my copy just to double check and you're right. My bad. xD;

I could've sworn they were pink/red-ish.

Either my memory sucks or I just don't pay enough attention.

Don't worry, it happens to all of us. =P
You have a copy? Jealous. ;___;

I need to get a PSP so that I can get this new game... I've only ever played a few minutes of Higurashi Daybreak (because my computer kept crashing when I played it) and those few minutes were heaven. =w=

I is jealous to. :( But I don't need to buy one. I'll just steal my friend's PSP. :P

[blaze0041]

While I've had no probs running Daybreak on my XP partition, I've been running into sluggishness on my Win7 side... any ideas? I have a fairly high-end PC.

[SilverSyko]

Different artist I'm guessing? The style looks different compared to the original OP.

[WarriorKK]

I think it's same. They used the same 3D models.
The differences maybe... the new director for OP...

[07th_Expansion_FAN]

lol K1 vs Satoshi= epic! Another lol for the Tomitake Flash!
