[Locked] Katawa Shoujo Developer Q & A

Sure, we debated about the H scenes and the general atmosphere a lot.

Well then that just about covers all my possible question thx you so much for you time, and answering all these questions, mine especially (although i still wish I knew the colors of each girls panties, guess I'll have to wait) thx again Aura, Blue123, and cpl_crud

Is there going to be more bad ends?

... Is there going to be a bad end where Hanako kills Hisao with a knife?

Because I want such a bad end.

How could you be so cruel? Lovely Hanako would never do something like that! :(

lol.
Anyways, I was wondering, about how much time a day on average do you guys spend working on this game? (sorry if this question has been asked before).

Bad Ends are usually caused by the main character taking an idiotic choice.

Obviously, this would be an idiot Hisao neglecting her.

This varies wildly, often based on how much free time everyone has. Plus we hang out with each other a lot virtually, which also contributes to developing KS. There is no one real answer

Also there probably will be all kinds of ends, maybe even bad ones.

I realize that, but I refuse to see my kind Hanako do something like that.
Of course, this is just me trying to hope for no repeats of scenarios similar to School Days. XD

Well I most likely post, to praise this great work.

Is quite amazing, that a group this big, could be able to make one big and nice proyect like this one.

also is nice to see that KS wasn't just a game to satisfy perverts ideas about disable people. But instead a game with a good story so far.

this game has really nice music, the piano piece are really nice(I am quite a piano and violin fan), I was able to hear some Chopin in a couple if my ears did not betray me.
Maybe the only song I didn't like much was Out of the Loop.
But Shadow of the Truth, Romance in Adante, Stride, Cold Iron were simple amazing.
Other ones were quite nice and very fitting for each ecene.


Blue123

So Blue wich piece did you make??

also

Is the music team planning to remake any of the piece, and making new ones, if so, about how many songs are we talking about(I now that this last one, may be kind of impossible to answer, but well I dont loss anything asking)??




maybe this question was asked earlier, if so, I apologize but

Isn't Rin personality hard to deal with?? I mean as a writer, since she is so "unique"??

And as a writer, did you have any special inspiration, for the creation of Rin personality??

Edit: My mistake, I was refering to Rin, not Emi
edit: I apologize for my bad grammar Un_n

4 questions i have to make here
1- is it just me or is Kenji identical to the main character when he has a neutral face, save the glasses and outfit

2- When it comes to backrounds, some of them look as if painted by a talented artist, some look like a camera took a picture but had some blur added, and some look like a mix of both. which is the case?

3- This question obviously might be interpreted wrong, but did you intend to do little things such as the line(with Emi) "with white and green paint on her face" but not draw any paint on her face?

4- There are pairs of friends in this game that compliment each other (a loud person and a deaf person, an armless person and a legless person, and a blind person with a person who doesn't want to be looked at.) and out of all the characters seen, nobody seems to fill the role of complimenting the main character, the main character doesn't really seem to have any guy friends, save kenji who hates women. But kenji doesn't quite fill the role of "a best buddy" kind of guy. Will anyone come up
4.5- The girls are all friends in pairs, so have any threesomes been thought about? Its not that crazy, it happens in real life often enough anyways.

1 They also have different hairstyles and facial features.

2 All backgrounds are photographs that have been manipulated. CGs have been drawn by hand.

3 This kind of thing is the harsh reality of visual novels.

4 Nobody really compliments Hisao in that way, but he's the new guy in town and everything.

4.5 I'm sure that whenever two or more females gather, someone, somewhere starts thinking about group sex

Blue went to sleep so he can't answer your question right now.

Yes, Rin is a big challenge to write. I did not draw outside inspiration for Rin when I created her, she's entirely a product of my own mind. However, later on she has absorbed some influence from outside.

You sure interpreted RAITA's one line pretty deeply. Hanako as she appears in the game is a result of natural evolution/developement.

You guys are doing an awesome job, and your doing awesome job answering all the question people are asking. I'm not reading them all since i find many of the question posting are kinda spoilers :3 I want to keep thing fresh.

I compose my own music for my movie production class,so i enjoy listening to the music Blue composed. It's some quality work. Sometimes i wish my abilities were good enough to help do these things.

Anyway, good luck with the rest of the Q&A. Keep up the awesome work, i cannot wait to see the finished product. You guys have my support!.

Though some questions ask for them, he's been dodging most of them like Neo.

I can't even make out many hints in his responses.

I guess it's really mostly under wraps.

curious, but did you judge japan based solely on Comiket? if not, what other things were "weird" (*w/ quotation marks*) to you?

also, what do you think of hitting on physically disabled people? is having sex with physically disabled people like a game to you?

does 4LS realize that such a game featuring having sex w/ physically disabled people/ kids could end up being flamed by some activist?

what will 4LS do in the event that an activist grps starts to protest the development of the game?

I'm just a player like you, so is weird to be commenting this, but I think it's only natural she has emo hair to hide her scars.

so, as I was lurking /v/, who is heatly debating this very thread I came across this:




so I take the chance to ask one more time: Not even one sex scene for misha?
