Sunrider: Mask of Arcadius

This article has a talk page!
view on tcrf.net

Sunrider: Mask of Arcadius is a turn-based strategy game about a military officer and the cute girls (mostly mecha pilots) under his command. For some reason, women's military uniforms in this universe look just like high school student uniforms...

Unused Audio#

Located in /Sunrider/game/sound/Voice is a file aptly named fire our shit.ogg.

"Fire our shit! But I'm le tired... Well, have a nap. Then fire ze missiles!"

Unused Dialogue#

There's a single bit of unused dialogue in script.rpy, featuring Chigara introducing skirmish mode:

# chi "I've installed a new holo simulator to your computer. Now you'll be able to play custom battles based on the combat data we've gathered to date."

# chi "Simply select the skirmish button hovering over your office on the ship map to begin the simulation."

Apparently they had a hard time getting Chigara's "successful attack" dialogue working.

################################## UNIFORM LAB

This indicates that at some point there were plans on having Chigara wear her lab coat over her uniform. In the final game, she only wears her lab coat over her plugsuit.
