==Articles, Categories and Templates==
 +
If you want to do more than just edit a few pages, there are a few basic wiki concepts to know.
  
* About
+
An '''Article''' is basically a single page on the wiki. Most articles belong to a certain game or game company.
** Game Description (Release & Technical Info)
 
** Story
 
** Characters
 
* Gameplay
 
** General Gameplay (Interfaces, Concepts, Controls)
 
** H Guide (H Play, Unlocking Skills, Scoring)
 
** Items (Clothing + Player Upgrades)
 
* Modding
 
** Modding Guide
 
*** Mod Files
 
* Misc
 
* FAQ & Technical Help
 
  
= Gameplay =
+
A '''Category''' is a group of pages that have something in common. Also, a special "overview" page is automatically created for a category.
== General Gameplay ==
 
=== Main Menu ===
 
After starting the game, the main menu has five options. From top to bottom:
 
* Load last saved game
 
* Start a new game
 
* Load saved game
 
* Extras
 
* Quit Game
 
=== Intro, Prologue & Chapters ===
 
When you start the game the first time, the story introduction is played. You can skip the intro if you have seen it already.
 
  
After the introduction you are at the [[#Selection Screen|Selection Screen]]. All girls are virgins at the beginning, and you only have the ''Prologue'' event available.
+
'''Templates''' are prepared layouts for pages that can be used within articles.
  
* Playing the ''Prologue'' removes the virgin state from that girl and unlocks ''2P mode'', with Fondle and Lie/Missionary techniques.
+
==Basic Game/Company article structure==
* After '''three''' sex sessions with a girl you unlock the ''1st Chapter'' event. This also allows unlocking ''3P mode'' (see [[#Unlock 3 characters mode|unlocking 3P mode]]) if both girls have ''1st Chapter'' event unlocked.
+
Any game found in this wiki should have at least the following articles:
* After '''seven''' sex sessions with a girl you unlock the ''2nd Chapter'' and the ''Special'' events. This also allows unlocking of the 2P BDSM techniques
 
* After '''twelve''' sex sessions with a girl you unlock the ''3rd Chapter'' event.
 
=== Selection Screen ===
 
[[File:SM1 Mainscreen Translated.png|thumb|400px|right|School Mate Selection Screen (translated)]]
 
From left to right, top to bottom:
 
* Select Main/Primary Girl
 
* Select Secondary/Partner Girl (five girls plus 'none')
 
* Select Type of encounter and Skills/Techniques. See the various unlocking techniques sections for ways to unlock more options. To select Skills for 2P, 3P or Special, drag and drop them to one of the five slots below. You can only use up to five per session. You can only select one Event.
 
** 2P - main char and a girl. Always available.
 
** 3P - main char and two girls. Available if you have [[#Unlock 3 characters mode|unlocked 3P mode]] for that pair.
 
** Special - same as 2P, except it randomly changes breast size for selected girl. Other then that, nothing else is known to change.
 
** Event - Advance the storyline or replay events. See [[#Story and Events|Story and Events]].
 
* Select Location (if applicable)
 
* Styling. Enters dressing/shop mode. See [[#Styling|Styling]].
 
* Girl Status. Stats for each girl.
 
* Start Session (available after you select your options)
 
* Options at Bottom (left to right)
 
** Quit Game
 
** Back to Title Screen
 
** Save/Load Menu
 
** [[#Options Menu|Options]]
 
** Status. Shows your skills and allows you to increase them by spending points. See [[#Upgrading Performance|Upgrading Performance]]
 
  
==== Situations ====
+
* An article about the game company, if not already there.
You can select one of four situations for your next encounter.
+
On the company page there's an information box on the top left with a list of featured games. A new game should be added to this list. Usually those lists are ordered alphabetically, try to keep it this was. The page's name should be the name of the company, for examples see [[IllusionGames|Illusion]] or [[INTERHEART]].
* 2P - have sex with a girl
 
* 3P - have sex with two girls. Requires that you a) have unlocked a 3P partner and b) selected her as partner
 
* Special - unlocked after the 2nd Chapter and similar to 2P. Randomly changes breast size for the girl. Tops, Bras and Dresses are removed. Other then that, nothing else is known to change.  
 
* Event - replay an event or play a newly unlocked one. Playing new chapters advances the story for the selected girl.
 
** Attack Event - unlocked by unlocking the BDSM FemDom skill
 
** Intruder Event - this 3P event is unlocked if you unlock 3P with a pair of girls
 
** Oppai Event - unlocked the first time you enter a ''Special'' situation
 
** Futa Event - this 3P event is unlocked if you unlock the futa 3P position for that pair of girls
 
  
For 2P, 3P and special situations you can select up to five techniques by dragging and dropping them into the slots below. You will start with the first one selected and can change to the others from the H scene.
+
* An article about the game.
For event situations, you can only select one event to (re)play.
+
Game pages also have an information box on the top left showing the company, but instead of featured games a list of pages for this game is shown. As some games will be more complex than others, complex games usually have more subpages.
 +
Main game articles can include links to gameinfo, list system requirements, display cover art, etc.
  
==== Styling ====
+
Optional pages for any game are:
[[File:SM1 StylingMode Translated.png|thumb|400px|right|School Mate Styling Mode (Translated)]]
 
In styling mode, you can buy clothes for the selected girl with your earned points and dress them. You can also save clothing sets and select them as favourites. Favourite sets can be accessed in H-Mode.
 
  
Most clothing bought is unlocked for all girls. However, Bras, Panties, Swim Wear and Casual clothing must be bought for each girl.
+
* Subpages
 +
For H games, subpages usually include a gameplay and a H guide, but there could be more.
  
Clothing selection buttons:
+
==Step-by-Step: Creating a Game page==
* Ribbon - Bows and Ties. Only available if a top is selected.
+
[[File:Tutorial_CreateCompany04.png|180px|left]]
* Top - Upper clothing (school uniform tops, shirts)
+
So we have a company page and a (red)link to a game page. Let's create a page for that game.
* Skirts - Skirts.
 
* Bra - Bras. '''Must be bought for each girl separately.'''
 
* Shorts - Shorts and miscellaneous lower clothing
 
* Panties - Panties. '''Must be bought for each girl separately.'''
 
* Socks - Socks
 
* Shoes - Shoes
 
* Item 1 - Facewear. Glasses and Blindfolds
 
* Item 2 - Head wear/accessories
 
* Swim Suit - Swim Wear/Bikinis. '''Must be bought for each girl separately.'''
 
* Casual - Dresses, Kimonos, Outfit sets. '''Must be bought for each girl separately.'''<br/>'''Note''': To gain access to casual wear, you need to complete the 2nd Chapter.
 
  
Clothing Set management:
+
Just click the redlink to the game and you'll be able to create a new page. Game pages are very similar to company pages. Instead of the {{t|gamecompany}} template however, game pages use the {{t|hgame}} template.
* My Sets - shows your saved sets for the selected girl and your selected favourite sets.
+
{{Clr}}
* Save Set - saves current outfit to a set slot
+
[[File:Tutorial CreateGame01.png|600px|right]]
* Load Set - loads selected set slot
+
{{t|hgame}} should get the same parameters the {{t|gamecompany}} template got, but additionally has a game=GAMENAME parameter. Like the company page, a menu to the right is generated but without the featured game list. Instead, there's a redlinked template that will hold the subpages of the game.
* Delete Set - removes saved set form a slot
 
  
* Accept - Return to previous screen with the chosen clothing settings
+
To further expand the main page, take a look at the {{t|GameFacts}} and {{t|Boxcover}} template to provide basic facts and maybe the cover art of the game.
  
==== Options ====
+
===Game Page Structure===  
The option panel allows to change volume, visuals and more.
+
Game pages should be organized in a tree like structure. The gamepage itself is the root of the tree. Subpages are used for more detailed information.
  
[[File:SM1 Options Translated.png|thumb|400px|right|School Mate Options Panel (Translated)]]
+
For example, a more complex game like [[@HomeMate]] has quite a lot subpages:
 +
*@HomeMate
 +
*@HomeMate/Story
 +
*@HomeMate/Story/Characters
 +
*@HomeMate/Gameplay
 +
*@HomeMate/Gameplay/Dates
 +
*@HomeMate/Gameplay/H Guide
 +
*@HomeMate/Gameplay/Events
 +
*@HomeMate/Gameplay/Maps
 +
*@HomeMate/Gameplay/Customization
 +
*@HomeMate/Gameplay/Customization/Clothing
 +
*@HomeMate/Gameplay/Items
 +
*@HomeMate/Gameplay/Items/Special items
 +
*@HomeMate/Technical Help
 +
*@HomeMate/Modding
 +
*@HomeMate/Modding/Mod overview
 +
*@HomeMate/Modding/Savegame hacking
  
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left;"
+
Not all games need that much pages though. Recommended subpages are:
|colspan="2" width="66%" valing="top"|'''Volume Settings'''
+
* Story. If the game has a story at all, this should be present.
* Voice: On/Off, Volume Slider
+
* Gameplay. Mandatory. All games have gameplay. If the gameplay is ''complex'', there should be subpages for that. Most notably...
* Background Music: On/Off, Volume Slider
+
* Gameplay\H Guide. If the game has H, and you need to be good at it to achieve something there should be a H Guide.
* Sound Effects: On/Off, Volume Slider
+
* Technical Help. Mandatory. There will be always problems when installing japanes games.
|valign="top"|'''Dialog Options'''
+
* Modding. Depends on two factors:
* Skip Text: CTRL key/Read text/All text
+
*# is the game modable at all?
* Text Display Speed - Slow to Fast
+
*# does mods exists/are in the works?
* Dialog Delay Speed - Long to Short
 
|-
 
|colspan="3" valign="top"|'''Display Options'''
 
* Background Objects [Tied to 1 key] - All / Some / None
 
* Camera Center Point [Tied to 6 key] - On or Off
 
* Background Color (For when Background Objects is set to None) Red/Green/Blue Sliders
 
|-
 
|valign="top"|'''Camera Speed Options'''
 
* Keyboard - Slow / Medium / Fast
 
* Mouse Wheel - Slow / Medium / Fast
 
|valign="top"|'''Player Display Options'''
 
* Hands [Tied to 2 key] <br/> Visible, Semi-Transparent, Invisible
 
* Body [Tied to 3 key] <br/> Visible, Semi-Transparent, Invisible
 
* Shaft [Tied to 4 key] <br/> Visible, Semi-Transparent, Invisible
 
|valign="top"|'''Reset or Accept'''
 
* Reset to defaults
 
* Accept and back to game
 
|}
 
  
==== Girl Status ====
+
Generally, if some pages tend to get very large, it may be the right thing to put some content in a subpage.
[[File:SM1 Girl Status Translated.png|thumb|500px|right|School Mate Girl Status (Translated)]]
 
Displays statistics for all girls.
 
* Girl Status
 
** '''Virgin:''' After introduction, all girls have that state. The ''Prologue'' Event must be played to change that state.
 
** '''Love:''' Girls have that status after the Prologue event
 
** '''Mega Love:''' Girls have that status after the 1st Chapter
 
** '''Giga Love:''' Girls have that status after the 2nd Chapter
 
** '''100%:''' Girls have that status after the 3rd Chapter
 
* Total Time: The number of sexual encounters you had with that girl. Certain numbers of encounters are required to unlock the story chapters.
 
** 1st Chapter unlocks after 3 encounters
 
** 2nd Chapter unlocks after 7 encounters
 
** 3rd Chapter unlocks after 12 encounters
 
* Cum Inside/Outside/Orgasms/Squirting: Orgasm statistics. No known effects.
 
 
 
<div style="clear: both"></div>
 
==== Stats ====
 
[[File:SM1 Stats Translated.png|thumb|400px|right|School Mate Stats Panel (Translated)]]
 
 
 
In the stats panel, you can spend earned points on your sexual abilities.
 
 
 
# Technique (Amateur - Bad - Normal - Good - Expert): A better Technique will arouse the girls faster. Having expert technique also unlocks the use of toys in 2P fondle mode.
 
# Stamina (Poor - Weak - Normal - Strong - Sturdy): A higher Stamina will arouse the player slower. Higher stamina also has more cum to spend, in conjunction with #3 below.
 
# Cum Load (Tiny - Little - Normal - Plenty - A Lot): Obviously, higher cum load allows you to cover a higher percentage of your girls' body with cum.
 
# Desire (0% - 25% - 50% - 75% - 100%): The chance of success in H mode if you suggest something (e.g. "Take it in your mouth" in 2P Paizuri)
 
# Dick Size (Normal - Thick): No known effect, visuals only.
 
<div style="clear: both"></div>
 
 
 
=== Controls ===
 
[[File:SM1 KeyboardControls.png|thumb|400px|left|School Mate Controls (Translated)]]
 
You can hit ESC in game any time to display the keyboard shortcuts.
 
<div style="clear: both"></div>
 
 
 
== H Guide ==
 
You can initiate H mode from the [[#Selection Screen|selection screen]]. Most story parts also have a H scene, but those do not give points or count for girl statistics.
 
For a H scene to happen select a girl and...
 
* None as a partner: 2P or Special or Event scene
 
* Unlocked 3P girl as a partner: 3P or Event scene
 
 
 
When selection 2P, 3P or Special you also have to drag at least one technique to the five situation slots. You can add more and then change to those situation.
 
 
 
=== Basics ===
 
The H scene will start in the position you selected first.
 
 
 
[[File:SM1 H AP Cumming.png|400px|thumb|Arousal Bars and cum options in Action Panel (translated)]]
 
On top of the screens are two (three, for 3P positions) bars that are slowly filled during H. The green bar is the players' arousal, the pink bar is the girls' arousal. In 3P, the secondary girl has an orange bar.
 
 
 
How fast the bars fill up depends on your sexual [[Technique and Stamina]] skills.
 
 
 
[[File:SM1 H Int DoHer.png|200px|thumb|left|Action area for cock insertion]]
 
In some positions (like Paizuri or Kissing) the movement starts immediately; but in others you need to start it or insert your cock first. Go to your characters' crotch area with your mouse pointer to find "action spots".
 
 
 
Some positions are only controlled by mouse wheel (speed of action), some can also be controlled by dragging the mouse. Left mouse button is the primary action. Few spots, have also a right mouse button action (e.g. in 3P Sex the icon for cock insertion can be left clicked for partner #1 and right clicked for partner #2)
 
 
 
2P Fondling is a special position: You have a touch panel on the bottom of the screen where you can select how to fondle the girl. There are 3 slots: one for your left hand, one for right hand (activated by clicking left/right mouse button respectively) and a third slot for "auto" (activated by the "b" key). For example, you can put "fondle left breast" in the left slot, "knet right ass" in the right slot and "finger pussy" on auto.
 
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
 
 
 
=== Action Panel ===
 
[[File:SM1 H AP GirlMenu1.png|thumb|150px|right|Action Panel]]
 
In H scenes, the action panel is in the top right of the screen.
 
 
 
The Action Panel has four sections: Girl, Clothes, Camera and System. Left click on the icon to toggle (for example switch girl for clothing in a 3P scene). Right click to select the menu.
 
====Girl Menu====
 
This menu changes depending on the status of the actors. Usually you can select to end the scene, make suggestions for the current sex position, change the girls' outfit or switch to a different possition.
 
 
 
However, if one of the actors is at maximum arousal, you only have the option to cum.
 
 
 
Depending on who is at maximum arousal, you may have the option to cum inside, outside, together or let the girl cum alone.
 
 
 
After cumming, you may have to select the menu again for a decision before continuing (e.g. swallow/show you the cum, etc.)
 
 
 
====Clothes Menu====
 
This menu allows you to open, remove or redress all parts of the current clothing set of the girl.
 
 
 
After Fumi completes the 3rd Chapter, you can also change her hair style here to resemble her sister Miyu.
 
 
 
====Cam Menu====
 
Used to access camera presets or to reset the camera position
 
 
 
====System Menu====
 
You can access the Options panel from here, load or save a game, return to the title menu or quit the game.
 
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
 
=== Scoring ===
 
[[File:SM1 SexResults Translated.png|thumb|400px|right|School Mate Sex encounter results (Translated)]]
 
You get points for H scenes (except when they are part of story events) based on your performance. Those points can be used to buy clothing for the girls in [[School_Mate_gameplay_guide#Styling|Styling Mode]] or to [[#Upgrading Performance|improve your sexual abilities]].
 
 
 
Scoring:
 
* Cum inside: 100 points each time you came inside the girl
 
* Cum outside: 100 points each time you came outside the girl
 
* Orgasm: 100 points each time the girl cums alone
 
* Squrting(sic!): 100 points each time you came together (As you can only cum together outside, you'll get 100 points for Cum outside as well)
 
* Cum covering: 100 points for each percent of nude body covered with sperm.
 
* Sex rate: Multiplier based of sex encounters you had with that girl. Starts at 1.00 and goes up by 0.01 for every 5 sex encounters.
 
* Duration: How much time you have spend in this encounter. May add a time bonus to total score.
 
 
 
====Areas for Cum covering====
 
All these areas are considered separately. However, both arms and both legs count as one area. For example, if you cum on the right leg, the left leg is marked with sperm at that location as well.
 
 
 
* Upper leg
 
* Lower leg
 
* Belly
 
* Left breast
 
* Right breast
 
* Upper arm
 
* Lower leg
 
* Back
 
* Bottom
 
* Face
 
* Hair
 
 
 
====3P Scoring====
 
For 3P Scoring, only the player and the first girl selected affect the score. You do not gain points for the second girls' orgasms or cum coverage. If you cum inside the second girl, it doesn't count as well. However, cum outside does count even when done with the second girl.
 
 
 
=== Unlocking Situations ===
 
==== Unlocking 2P Positions ====
 
[[File:SM1 Situation 2P.png|thumb|200px|2P Options (Translated)]]
 
* Row 1
 
** Row 1/1 - Fondle. Unlocked by default
 
** Row 1/2 - Peeing. To unlock, touch the girl in 3 different ways '''at the same time''' in fondle mode. For example, lick the pussy, use left hand on breast and right hand on ass.
 
** Row 1/3 - Kiss. To unlock, make her cum in fondle mode by '''licking only'''. The other two commands should be empty.
 
** Row 1/3 - Sixtynine. To unlock, in missionary position just cum over her and maker her lick it up.
 
* Row 2
 
** Row 2/1 - Paizuri. To unlock, make the girl cum in fondle mode with hands on her tits '''only'''.
 
** Row 2/2 - Lie/Missonary. Unlocked by default
 
** Row 2/3 - Sitting. To unlock, simply switch to sideway position in missionary and back.
 
** Row 2/4 - Standing behind. To unlock, cum inside her in missionary and let her show you the cum.
 
* Row 3 '''(completed 2nd chapter required to unlock)'''
 
** Row 3/1 - BDSM/MaleDom - Reverse Cowgirl. To unlock, your partner must wear a blindfold. Enter missionary position, turn her to sideway position and pick action tease. Wait until she finishes talking, then do her and finish without her finishing. Then leave. (If you're using a clothing mod you may need to reload original clothing to get a blindfold from Item 1 page 2.)
 
** Row 3/2 - BDSM/FemDom - Cowgirl or Foodjob. To unlock, enter 2P and leave without doing anything. There should be a cutscene where she knocks you out and you wake up with hands tied.
 
 
 
==== Unlocking 3P ====
 
3P must be unlocked for each pair of girls separately. Also, unlocking 3P for girl A with girl B does ''not'' unlock 3P for girl B with girl A. To unlock a 3P pair, take a girl to a 2P session at a certain location at a certain time (day or night).
 
 
 
The table shows what location you need to visit to unlock 3P.
 
 
 
For example, if both Fumi and Hiyo have completed the 1st Chapter and you want to unlock 3P with Hiyo for Fumi, take Fumi to a 2P session in the Classroom at night.

==== Unlocking 3P Positions ====
 
[[File:SM1 Situation 3P.png|thumb|200px|3P Options (Translated)]]
 
* Row 1
 
** Row 1/1 - 2P Fondle - To unlock, enter either 3P Sex or 3P Oral. Have two orgasms, then end the scene. '''Note''': Regardless who orgasms, two orgasms will do. For example, coming together with girl 1 and having girl 2 orgasm alone in 3P Sex is sufficient.
 
** Row 1/2 - Lesbian - The two girls play with themselves or with toys. Unlocked by default.
 
** Row 1/3 - 2P Pee - To unlock, make the girls cum '''after each other''' in Lesbian sex.
 
** Row 1/4 - 3P Oral - Both girls tend to your cock. To unlock, make the girls cum '''together in Lesbian sex while standing'''.
 
* Row 2
 
** Row 2/1 - 3P Sex - To unlock, make the girls cum '''together on the floor''' in Lesbian sex. (Do each other -> both of you, move)
 
** Row 2/2 - Futanari - [[#3P Futanari|See below]] for unlocking information. You must first complete the 2nd Chapter for each girl.
 
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
 
==== 3P Futanari ====
 
In 3P Futanari the first girl selected now has a cock.
 
 
 
To unlock Futanari for a pair of girls, you just select the pair of girls and go to a specific location. The location is based on the 3P partner you have selected.
 
 
 
Make one or both girls cum and end the scene (it is irrelevant if your player came or not). In a cut scene, Sei gives you a medicine to try out that turns a girl in a futanari for limited time. After the scene you enter futanari mode with the girls and 3P Futanari is now unlocked.
 
 
 
As with 3P mode, unlocking futanari mode for girl A with girl B does not unlock it for girl B with girl A.
 
 
 
Locations for unlocking 3P Futanari:
 
* if your 3P mate is Yume - Nurse's Office
 
* if your 3P mate is Natsume - Classroom
 
* if your 3P mate is Fumi - Kazuki's Room
 
* if your 3P mate is Mikoto - Roof
 
* if your 3P mate is Hiyo - Outdoors(?)
 
 
 
==== Unlocking Special Events ====
 
There are four more icon slots in the event situation panel. Those show unlocked special events. The four events are:
 
# Attack - Enter 2P with a girl and exit without doing anything. Seems you have pissed someone off. Unlocks BDSM FemDom 2P Technique.
 
# Intrude - Every time you unlock 3P for a pair of girls you unlock this for the given pair
 
# Oppai - If you use the ''Special'' situation the first time, you unlock this
 
# Futa - Unlock 3P Technique Futanari.
 
 
 
=== Misc ===
 
* Fondle: If you make a girl cum in fondle often, she may faint. You can continue to fondle her while fainted, and she will still squirt while doing so.
 
* Toys: Once you have the maximum Technique upgrade, you will have the option to use a (random) toy at the girls vagina and ass in 2P Fondle
 
* Girl actions: In some positions sometimes the girl (or girls) decide on a position change. In BDSM/FemDom, She always decides on actions.
 
* Ignoring Girls: If you ignore a girl for some sessions (6-8) you may get a notification that she is acting strange. If you decide to investigate, you can see her masturbating
 
* Angry Girls: If you ignore a girl for a long time, she turns angry. She will not be available in 3P as partner, and in 2P mode she will decide on the location. You must have a 2P session with her to make her friendly again. In this session you will have the option to apologize or not. If you don't apologize, she will stay angry. If you apologize, you'll have 2P sex and her state returns to normal.
 
 
 
=== FAQ ===
 
:'''Q''': The guy is at 100% and just keeps humping the girl. What to do?
 
::'''A''': The guy is waiting for you to decide to if he should cum outside or inside. Right-click the left-most button in the Action Panel and select an option.
 
:'''Q''': The guy is at 85-90% and won't go up any higher, same with the girl. What is wrong?
 
::'''A''': You have 'auto' (mouse wheel) on. Click once to disengage it, you can only get the bars higher through 'manual' (mouse drag) control.

Articles, Categories and Templates

If you want to do more than just edit a few pages, there are a few basic wiki concepts to know.

An Article is basically a single page on the wiki. Most articles belong to a certain game or game company.

A Category is a group of pages that have something in common. Also, a special "overview" page is automatically created for a category.

Templates are prepared layouts for pages that can be used within articles.

Basic Game/Company article structure

Any game found in this wiki should have at least the following articles:

  • An article about the game company, if not already there.

On the company page there's an information box on the top left with a list of featured games. A new game should be added to this list. Usually those lists are ordered alphabetically, try to keep it this was. The page's name should be the name of the company, for examples see Illusion or INTERHEART.

  • An article about the game.

Game pages also have an information box on the top left showing the company, but instead of featured games a list of pages for this game is shown. As some games will be more complex than others, complex games usually have more subpages. Main game articles can include links to gameinfo, list system requirements, display cover art, etc.

Optional pages for any game are:

  • Subpages

For H games, subpages usually include a gameplay and a H guide, but there could be more.

Step-by-Step: Creating a Game page

Tutorial CreateCompany04.png

So we have a company page and a (red)link to a game page. Let's create a page for that game.

Just click the redlink to the game and you'll be able to create a new page. Game pages are very similar to company pages. Instead of the {{gamecompany}} template however, game pages use the {{hgame}} template.

{{hgame}} should get the same parameters the {{gamecompany}} template got, but additionally has a game=GAMENAME parameter. Like the company page, a menu to the right is generated but without the featured game list. Instead, there's a redlinked template that will hold the subpages of the game.

To further expand the main page, take a look at the {{GameFacts}} and {{Boxcover}} template to provide basic facts and maybe the cover art of the game.

Game Page Structure

Game pages should be organized in a tree like structure. The gamepage itself is the root of the tree. Subpages are used for more detailed information.

For example, a more complex game like @HomeMate has quite a lot subpages:

  • @HomeMate
  • @HomeMate/Story
  • @HomeMate/Story/Characters
  • @HomeMate/Gameplay
  • @HomeMate/Gameplay/Dates
  • @HomeMate/Gameplay/H Guide
  • @HomeMate/Gameplay/Events
  • @HomeMate/Gameplay/Maps
  • @HomeMate/Gameplay/Customization
  • @HomeMate/Gameplay/Customization/Clothing
  • @HomeMate/Gameplay/Items
  • @HomeMate/Gameplay/Items/Special items
  • @HomeMate/Technical Help
  • @HomeMate/Modding
  • @HomeMate/Modding/Mod overview
  • @HomeMate/Modding/Savegame hacking

Not all games need that much pages though. Recommended subpages are:

  • Story. If the game has a story at all, this should be present.
  • Gameplay. Mandatory. All games have gameplay. If the gameplay is complex, there should be subpages for that. Most notably...
  • Gameplay\H Guide. If the game has H, and you need to be good at it to achieve something there should be a H Guide.
  • Technical Help. Mandatory. There will be always problems when installing japanes games.
  • Modding. Depends on two factors:
    1. is the game modable at all?
    2. does mods exists/are in the works?

Generally, if some pages tend to get very large, it may be the right thing to put some content in a subpage.
