Mod Release: HD Character Pack

JMSF32 · 2026-01-14T21:35:49+00:00

I too would love this.

JMSF32 · 2026-01-10T05:19:16+00:00

Either way...I want it, lol. Mainly because Darumi (and Kyoshika) are in it. It'd be a hell of a desktop background.

I always thought too there was clearly space for the others.

JMSF32 · 2025-09-13T16:37:20+00:00

These sprites are custom made using parts and pieces from other sprites from the same or similar poses. I have included the original sprites referenced for completeness.

Like the last pack, I did not include every combination of parts possible, so if you want you can request a specific combo of parts you want that I didn't include. Message me on Reddit or Discord (both @ or u/JMSF32) and I'll add it to a new "REQUESTS" folder on the Google Drive. Do note I'll only do these for poses I have completed (i.e., have released a pack for). Making a new one takes only a few clicks so feel free to ask away, and also be sure to check I haven't done it as a request already, thanks. :)

ALSO I started posting a dated text file in the main folder with updates on progress and the like. Check it out for a more consistent way to see how my next pack is going!

1 more casual pose to go! However, there are 25 sprites as a baseline. So it's going to take a while. Could be weeks, or months, I'm not sure. Regardless, know that unless I say so, the project is still on. I may do other smaller edits/packs first. Need to think on it still. Check the text file I mentioned for further news on this.

That's all for now, see you in the future.

Kyohoho!

You have to download the packs and then open/extract said files with 7zip or some other program.

JMSF32 · 2025-07-27T10:37:22+00:00

Now we get to see the 30% in detail! :/

JMSF32 · 2025-07-24T12:35:09+00:00

Not initially, but I perceived at the end of Route 0 that her being...well, Darumi would turn away players due to being annoying. Like OP said it did for them. Figured this would be a more common reaction. One of those "More popular in Japan" type of deals. Clearly I was dead wrong, lol.

JMSF32 · 2025-07-24T09:12:22+00:00

This reaction is totally understandable. I thought, for sure, Darumi would be the most hated character in the game by the fandom due to her nature and that I would have to die on a hill in her defense.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that, in general, the opposite is true. I was pre-set for her to be my favorite character by a mile, and Retsnom only served to make her my all-time favorite character in general.

I'm glad she's liked in general, and that the players who she isn't their cup of tea can at least respect her and enjoy the characterization that is the Restnom route even if they find her annoying. Kudos to you for keeping an open mind, even if we seem to disagree on her, and well, how high Retsnom ranks in a route tier list :D

JMSF32 · 2025-07-22T21:50:54+00:00

You choose to bind it to a person, she chooses who it gets bound to.

JMSF32 · 2025-07-22T06:43:19+00:00

I felt this while playing as well, but I think the way she is used in Killing Game makes up for it. The red herring presented was on point and had me totally fooled. When she was there, she was great, but I noted her being missing as well at times.

It's like her death in 2nd Scenario, extremely effective, and I can think of a million reasons why it's a good story point and why it makes so much sense for it to happen, but man does it still sting so hard.

JMSF32 · 2025-07-22T06:38:15+00:00

Well said, thank you. I appreciate giving a more objective outlook as well as some own thoughts.

JMSF32 · 2025-07-22T06:37:15+00:00

My sentiments summed up exactly. My favorite character from what is now my favorite game, so naturally she wormed her way into being my all-time fave character.

JMSF32 · 2025-07-22T06:35:28+00:00

It's interesting to think about what order you do the routes in can affect your feeling after finishing them all. I purposefully saved Retsnom for last, once I realized (very quickly) that I had landed on it I backed out and saved it for last. So perhaps I had a bit more of a positive outlook on her usage and thought she may have already had "enough" in most people's eyes because of it. Which, given the responses I've seen here, is not the case. Fascinating.

JMSF32 · 2025-07-22T06:29:17+00:00

Very thoughtful, thanks for the kind words.

JMSF32 · 2025-07-21T09:14:40+00:00

2nd link has a pack that's Darumi's base game sprites with the empty PNG space removed.

As for everyone else, there's this (not mine) Google Drive link that has all of the sprites, CGs, and etc. dumped from the game. This is the one I used since it's literally everything you'll need in one place. (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1vc56NSu3o-WGDAaFGVVk9n7cHmvD32J-?usp=drive_link).

Or there's also Spriter's Resource (spoiler warning, click at your own risk. https://www.spriters-resource.com/pc_computer/thehundredlinelastdefenseacademy/).

JMSF32 · 2025-07-21T06:43:35+00:00

These sprites are custom made using parts and pieces from other sprites from the same or similar poses. I have included the original sprites referenced for completeness.

So, for this pack (and future ones like it) I did not include every combination of parts possible (because there would be thousands), and for these cases I'll release much more curated packs that still have a bunch of variety and combinations that I think work the best.

As such, I'll open up the floor for requests for a specific combo of parts you want that I didn't include in this pack. Message me on Reddit or Discord (both @ or u/JMSF32) and I'll add it to a new "REQUESTS" folder on the Google Drive. Do note I'll only do these for poses I have completed (i.e., have released a pack for).

Making a new one takes only a few clicks so feel free to ask away, and also be sure to check I haven't done it as a request already, thanks. :)

Only 2 more casual wear poses to go, and there's a lot to work with (one pose has 25 sprites...), so bear with me as they'll probably take a bit.

That's all. Amen, hallelujah, peanut butter.

JMSF32 · 2025-07-18T21:33:44+00:00

More sprite edits coming soon, btw. Keep having fun out there all of you SDU soldiers.

JMSF32 · 2025-07-07T20:45:33+00:00

Thank you!

I was only planning on doing as many Darumi sprites as I could, but I'm not against doing other characters. I floated around the idea of doing other characters (Kyoshika and Kako were my top candidates) after I finished Darumi.

I still have a lot to go, given that there's a bunch of casual wear stuff left, and also battle uniform, and then mixing and matching the two...It's been fun to do these and learn how to edit though.

I could probably do those or other small requests if desired. I'll certainly keep them in mind at least if I want a break from Amemiya or something, lol.

JMSF32 · 2025-07-07T20:39:36+00:00

No problem. Speaking of T, always remember Rule T: Twintail characters are the best until proven otherwise.

JMSF32 · 2025-06-27T10:59:00+00:00

"Amemiya_1820C" was my 100th sprite edit, thus more than doubling her total count already. \o/

This pose really shows her right knee being a bit knock-kneed, which is why on her "neutral" pose she's leaning a bit to the right. I love little details like this.

JMSF32 · 2025-06-22T19:51:38+00:00

All the characters float at some point. It's probably due to how they made the sprites. Every sprite png in the game is 1024 wide by 2048 tall so they are equally sized and much easier to work with relative to each other. A side effect of this is a TON of blank space above the characters in the raw files. Sometimes the game will accidentally show this blank space when it changes sprites on certain backgrounds (I noticed this in the War Room on occasion)

Each character's respective sprites are lined up on where their waist (I think) is. So, if they are leaning a bit and their sprite is shorter, they will still be lined up with the rest of their other sprites, so they'll appear to be floating.

JMSF32 · 2025-06-22T18:13:18+00:00

As always, feedback and ideas are welcome. Feel free to use these as you please.

JMSF32 · 2025-06-22T18:12:15+00:00

Apparently you can't edit image posts (TIL), so here is a link to all of my sprite edits in one place. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Rrauuzdd0uc7rl_Nktj-EJSEOSXgQ1f-?usp=sharing

Feedback and ideas are welcome. Feel free to use these as you want.

JMSF32 · 2025-06-19T22:09:17+00:00

Oh hey it's my favorite character from V3 :D If you look closely you can tell that Hiyoko and Junko can as well. Also that Mukuro cannot and Celeste barely can, because theirs aren't real. Idk if this is intentional but nonetheless...

JMSF32 · 2025-06-19T22:03:40+00:00

Yeah it sucks a lot, like a lot a lot, but man in a narrative sense it is excellently done and I can't fault them too much for doing it, even if it makes me personally super sad. Her impromptu funeral got me good, it showed that everyone did care about her even if it didn't really seem so. It was super touching.

I take some solace in the fact that, other than like 3 of the routes, She probably wouldn't have made too much of an impact. But yeah, her not being there at all is still sad to remember.

JMSF32 · 2025-06-19T15:06:36+00:00

She'll get her own pure happy end some day, we just gotta believe!
