Arcane Dragon… wasn't that the boss on that post-game planet?
[/quote]
You're thinking of Omega Dragon, who is the last of three bosses
on New World. Arcane Dragon is only unlocked after you beat
every door boss and all 3 bosses on New World.

Katawa Shoujo: I realized that Katawa Shoujo is far more user
friendly that I intially gave it credit for. It turns out I can
play the game in windowed mode rather than fullscreen and I can
change music volume on the fly so I don't constantly have to
quit the game if I want to do something else.
All that aside, Hisao is woken by Shizune and Misha and is
forgiven with force while also getting a letter from Iwanako.
After this, I leave class and see Hanako (how precious :3) who
gives me a shopping list. Then I go off to meet Lily, and we go
to town to go shopping before coming back to Yamuku Academy.

Katawa Shoujo: Talked to Lily and chose not to talk about
Hisao's condition (I'll be picking the other option eventually).
I came back, gave Hanako the groceries she left and then go to
bed. I wake up, expected death but it was actually results for
an English exam. Hanako shows up and then so does Emi, they talk
for a bit and that's nice because they're my favourite out of
the girls you can pick in Katawa Shoujo. Also Hisao and Emi take
the same English class and both hate English, so that's
interesting. The next scene has Rin, Emi, Lily and Hanako
arrange to meet up on the rooftop for lunch, though I've yet to
progress any further.

That turned out to be completely true.
Games Progress
Umbrageous Light: I decided to for whatever reason play
Umbrageous Light. I assume that it's early in development so
I'll play it through just to see how far along it is. I had
initially thought the first area was just First Cave from
vanilla Cave Story at first but the subtle changes have made for
an interesting playthrough.
I died several times in the room after I defeated the Accursed
(and it took several attempts before I cottoned on and realized
I could backtrack to the save point so I wouldn't have to repeat
the boss fight). I also like the custom name boxes underneath
the text boxes and will have to consider trying that out for
myself. Also the title screen has several other options but I'm
not sure if they're actual options or if they simply exist for
show.
Katawa Shoujo: I end up having lunch on the roof with Emi, Rin,
Lily and Hanako. Hanako was initially absent but showed up later
(I had expected Shizune to show up to ruin our fun). Emi and
Hisao have bad English scores but Lily got a perfect score. Also
Hisao ends up suffering from Arrythmia but thankfully avoids
getting a heart attack. (Also it's nice that Hanako cared enough
to consider getting the nurse for Hisao even if Hisao said that
he was fine.) At the end of the scene, Lily announces that she's
leaving for Scotland and after the other girls leave, she makes
a paper crane for Hisao. Yes, Lily can learn origami but that
only makes her slightly less boring.

1. Very early. After the Accursed boss, I don't think there's a
lot of stuff?
2. Yeah, I wanted the first room of Origin Cave to have a little
bit of familiarity… at first. :P
Plus the name's meaningful: the XSP began as mods of Cave Story,
after all, so it made sense--
3. The custom name boxes was done using the TIMG hack, which
requires the TSC+ hack. The mod also uses the PHYS hack. The
"Timg" files in "Umbrageous Light/data" are the name boxes, but
you could, say, use full character art or area maps for that.
4. The title screen options are just for show, sowwy ;-;
I'm guessing you didn't really go through the Readme file. ^.^"
[quote]The main menu having only two working buttons is
intentional. So only "Initialize" and
"Continue" will work, even if you clear the game over nine
thousand times. This is, of
course, due to limitations (but it also leads into spoilers).
In the unlikely event that the mod gets remade in an entirely
new game engine, however,
this will be altered somewhat - settings can be altered
in-game (rather than using the
external program), and the Sound Test and Profile can be
unlocked later on (the Profile
would just be for keeping stats like first start date and
first clear date and other
useless accomplishments and whatnot).[/quote]
Plus.
Like.
[spoiler=Spoylurrrz Bewear]Lunadine was as "drunk as a plutonium
king spook" when she began development on the in-universe game…
but there's also an added twist in that Lunadine only programmed
up to Sector 7. Which means Sectors 8 and (though unimplemented
sadly) 9 just appeared out of nowhere?
[spoiler=Extra spoilers]Though 'tis more Savannah Nokorikaze's
doing; she'd have been met later on in the mod, but she's also
not a fictional character in UL.
She's an actual person who had the power to enter computers and
she did that while having been poisoned by a murderess, and
remained in the Galaxynet after uploading herself there.
She'd end up in the server where Lunadine's computer's connected
to or something like that, so she's kinda in Lunadine's PC when
UL was programmed.
She created the extra two Sectors.
Or something.
The "Quotes" file is pretty messy.[/spoiler]So yeah.[/spoiler]

After the Accursed, there is a weapon that can be found to break
blocks. and a terminal that needs to be activated to unlock the
teleporter. Dying in this area is a pain unless I backtrack all
the way to the save point. At least laying waste to my enemies
with fully levelled up weapons is fun at least. At this point,
the only thing I'd really change about Origin Cave is the colour
and I think Sepia or Beige would work for that area. As for the
ReadMe file, yeah, that's true. It didn't cross my mind at all
until you mentioned it.

Maybe the non-DataVerse Origin Cave could be a different colour,
though?

Oh yeah. Umbrageous Light takes place in the Nihil Server, which
is data themed. I checked the wiki, remembered that Sea Zone is
one of the areas and that it exists outside of the Dataverse as
well. That said,Origin Cave (non-Dataverse) could be
sepia/beige, though I wonder if there would be any other
differences as well.

Katawa Shoujo: Class ends. Hanako and I go to see Lily who as it
turns out is quite popular with her class. Kenji is mentioned
but not actually seen because he, Lily and Hanako are in the
same class, and Hanako deals quite well with other students
liking her as much as they do Lily. Eventually, we get to see
Akira and Hideaki at the airport where we see Lilly off. Akira
mentions buying tickets online, which considering the games
release date has aged quite well (or at least better than
Misha's Bush Cheney 2004 shirt). I think to myself, that it's
going to be the Hanako route now that Lily is in Scotland.
Unless of course there is a timeskip. Then it turns out I'm on
Act 3 of Lily's route.
