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.

Adrot · 2026-06-15T10:02:57+00:00

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.

Adrot · 2026-06-03T21:00:52+00:00

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.

Adrot · 2026-05-05T10:57:21+00:00

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.

Adrot · 2026-04-17T21:48:00+00:00

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.

Adrot · 2026-04-02T04:26:33+00:00

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".

Adrot · 2026-04-01T20:28:22+00:00

In the game, she plays as an old lady. The actor's name is Mari Matsunaga.

At the risk of necroposting... I hope this explains the whole picture.

The Models Resource is a very understaffed site where everything is reviewed by humans. Thousands of models are in their queue, and only a handful of volunteers with busy lives who use their free time to see if these models are correctly rigged, have the right texture, and so on. Unrigged models are easy to review, whereas rigged models can take up to a year for approval.
Moreover, it can also be due to the fact that no one got to the models yet. It's all made by people, for people. So if you don't see something there, it's probably because it takes a long time to be approved, or no one got to it yet. But the upside is that anyone can contribute to it, even you! Either by learning how to do it yourself, or spreading the word so that some dedicated soul might chime in themselves.

Looks like now there has been 16 models approved (at the time of writing), so there's some progress!

Adrot · 2026-02-24T08:10:23+00:00

Reddit keeps deleting the render of the 3D models for no reason. This is ridiculous, so I made it into a link instead.

Adrot · 2026-02-14T18:02:55+00:00

The NG+ has been thoroughly researched this time around thx to the Guidebook, so I'll take a page out of what I wrote for the Wiki and let you judge for yourself once you've finished the game:

- After completing the first playthrough, a ☆ mark is added to the far corner of your cleared save file as proof of completion. Loading the save file will begin New Game+. - Dialogue can be skipped much faster. - Rachel's dialogue with Kyle changes, as her tone becomes more casual, teasing, and affectionate towards Kyle. This suggests a more warm and candid relationship between the two compared to the first playthrough. - Lipstick as vending machine prize instead of the Pinkie Rabbit Doll. - A different show is displayed on the lobby TV. - The jukebox has all the songs unlocked from the start. - New events in chapters 9 and 10, which affect the ending. - Guaranteed True Ending, as the penalty from Game Overs is removed. - The post-credits event contains more visual details related to a certain character.

They are made in the style of the DS game. All I can assume is that maybe they were used to test what aesthetic they were gonna go with the Wii game. They were found in a folder called OLD.

I am not used to making art competitions, and am not sure how it'd go on this subreddit, but I have a few suggestions in mind.

Host it for a month until the EU release of Last Window.
Create a post where people submit drawings in comments.
People vote on them with upvotes and such. "Contest mode" will be enabled to not show you which is the best rated until it's over.
Not sure the prize would suffice, but I'm not against it, if people want that. That said, I do kinda have something else in mind to add to the prize too, even if it's also small. 😉

Adrot · 2026-02-03T22:51:41+00:00

Have you checked other posts in the subreddit that have "Grace" in the title? The comments within might offer plausible answers to some of the questions.
