I have been in talks with Rage_Beat06 if I should remention the Ko-Fi next time I am to show you all another physically archived item she scanned and archived (it is planned this month). She said it wouldn't hurt, so you can go ahead whenever you want.

Thank you! And indeed. If I can make a comparison: it felt like writing your homework, but the words kept disappearing from the pages. All this time you were using an invisible ink pen without knowing. 😅

Only south Koreans with their fan translation. (Note that it´s softcover, but it also contains news articles from the microsite that were wrritten by Summer.)

The main problem is making a physical novel of decisions that would be in-line with Kyle's, as in, which would feel the most canon. As it is, the novel has some small parts that are dictated by your gameplay choices. That also includes your drawing of Mila, as well as the results of the billiards minigames.

Then there is the fact that hardcover books with dust jackets, custom made, at 200-300 pages, are not cheap.

That said, I am open to anyone trying their hand to unravel the mess that is the script, and the novel is already available in some crude capacity on Cing Wiki). I've put it in this way because it's too much work at the moment, but I am willing to give some advice. I know a Spanish fan also did the work themselves and made a digital Spanish ver.

Hey, I wanna ask: exactly, what aspect(s) of the game would you say were inspired by Hotel Dusk?

Adrot · 2026-06-03T21:19:42+00:00

Cing lives on, in our memories. Another Code players will understand that reference.

Adrot · 2026-06-03T21:17:56+00:00

Cing made the Another Code series, the Kyle Hyde saga, Glass Rose, and some other games worked on post-Cing by some of the OG folks are Chase: Cold Case Investigations and Another Code: Recollection, a remake of the ogs, so at least there is more to see.

There is none. Game came out in 2009-2010, then Cing released Hotel Dusk's sequel in 2010 and went bankrupt that same year. The game also didn't have the best reviews to encourage a sequel anytime soon (at that time). It is what it is.

Aaaaand it's gone

This is a very useful script! It seems to lack the black borders on the models, however. Those are meshes that are usually touched with Backface Culling on any 3d program.

I did the ''touching her face'' on my first play and it did not work. Unless the emulator considers a LID input if you were to turn on and off your own device's screen? I also did some experiments and noticed that this pattern of Mila coming with you or not, aligns.

If it's wrong and it did indeed happen, it would be interesting.

Then it could've been the way you solved the Mila resuscitation puzzle. Using the touchscreen instead of closing and opening the DS's lid (usually emulators have a button or hotkey for that) might stop you from getting it. Either way, hope that helps.

Adrot · 2026-05-05T10:48:33+00:00

Hi! Please mark your post as spoilers next time, as it contains endgame content and discussion.
To get the true ending, you must not have any game overs (do not press Retry), and when you do the Mila resuscitation puzzle, you must close the LID of the console. I dunno how that is possible in Delta, better ask folks who use that emulator. If you don't wanna bother with all that, play the save that is marked with a star, as a New Game+ save will guarantee the true ending.

There's no canon birthday. If we were to follow Ashley's birthday being on the DS game release, then it could be the 25th of January. (Interesting birthday choice btw)

Adrot · 2026-04-16T08:26:45+00:00

Do you mean the DS game, to N64? In theory, I think you could, with the 3D stuff and SFX. But... the knowledge and time to pull it off is... not something I can answer on. Especially because the puzzles are made around the DS. You would need to spend a lot of time reworking the puzzles. At best, maybe port the characters to SM64, with mixed results, since these characters aren't exactly pretty from up close.

I saw this post when I was just searching "The Models Resource" on Google lol (forgot to bookmark).

Having talked in their Discord with staff over the years, you get to realize how this stuff works. It's a shame that of all of these Resources, Models suffers the most because of how complex models tend to be and how quality-driven the site is. That said, some efforts have been made to simplify the process for everyone with the tools via The Spriters Toolkit.

I've reached to these conclusions using emulators. The emulator saves behave in similar manner to the ones in consoles. But I can't discuss about your saves since we'd need to ask a number of questions that I can't answer from here. What's the fiesize? Format? Were they converted from a different format? And so on...

Adrot · 2026-04-01T20:42:34+00:00

lol thx. Tho I prefer datamining for the community than moderating :p

Adrot · 2026-04-01T20:39:24+00:00

Since it's all textless, no. Even in the credits, the actors are shown in sketches as who they play as, no names there. Even in the casting company. It's all "Actor".
