[Locked] Katawa Shoujo Developer Q & A

Yo nice to meet ya, here have some questions (free of charge!)

Will there be a threesome scene with Misha?

Will we ever get to know why exactly Misha is at the school?

Will other classmates be introduced as side characters?

If you work on any future projects will you have them open to the public with people throwing ideas at a wall you you did earlier on for this one?

On the history blog it's mentioned that "T and F are fired from 4LS" but not specified why. Any comments?

Not really a question but I wanted to say I really liked how you guys made the characters not entirely stereotypes. That is to say that each of them showed more depth of personality than I've seen from other hentai VN.

Hey there, and thanks for coming here and doing this, especially this late at night (for you). Got a couple questions from a friend of mine, and a couple questions of my own, though I'm sure I'll think of more later as I only just found out about this.

The friend wishes to know if you, personally, have written anything else. He also is curious as to how many drafts the script of the demo went through before it got to this point.

I'd like to know, how hard was it synchronizing the writers' styles, and how well do you think it went? Especially Act 1; how difficult was it getting everyone to work together on a single path, with a single script, and a single style?

After looking at the girls star sign on the webpage for Katawa Shoujo, I could kinda see a relation to them and their personality. Did you base their birth date out from their personalities?

Also, who painted the mural in RL?

It sounds like you guys went through a few character revisions, was there any major changes personality wise from the start of the project to the version we see now? If not, were there any major revisions to the characters physically?

Was there anything scrapped from the storyline from the previous versions that you wanted in the final version, but had to get rid of for whatever reasons?

This occurred to me after asking about the Misha threesome....
any chance of there being an Emi + Rin threesome scene?

How was Rin's personality thought up and how amazingly hard is it to write her?

Aura, it is a privilege to be in your presence. What caught my interest in Katawa Shoujo was it's well worded dialogue and clever analogies. My question is, does your group plan on complementing the dialogue with voice actors? If not, would you still consider it? If yes, would you hire English voice actors or Japanese voice actors. Or maybe just for the sex scenes?

Thank you for your time Aura, if you could please, like your first post mentions, can we get the color of each girls panties, or any other taste details of there unmentionables ^_^

What was the original language of the work?

Where did the idea for rin's personality come from and why would you decide to give the armless person this distinct personality?

Why isn't there a mentally retarded girl?

I really enjoyed the subtle humor in many of the scene names. I found that many of them had more than one layer of meaning to them. Did any of the scene names end up inspiring some of the writing of a scene or where they all done afterward?

Heya. My roommate and I at college have been keeping track of the game's progress for over a year now and I was really excited when you guys released the demo. Being it was from 4chan spawn, I was expecting to get a laugh out of it, maybe like a character or two, but you guys have really blown me away. I played the demo to 100% and all of the characters are very well developed even in the demo. The music is pretty great, fitting the mood and characters well, and I like the overall presentation of everything in the game. The simple yet effective art style, the use of actual photos for backgrounds, the writing is very well done, and the humor in the game is great. I really look forward to the full release.

My first question applies to Kenji. How did you guys come up with his personality and his absurd way of thinking and his conspiracies? The character is pretty hilarious and I was not expecting anything like what happened if you get stuck hanging out with him for the festival.

Next, how did you decide on each girl's personalities? I feel that a lot of the characters didn't have the personality you expected them, too, and it gives the characters a little more substance. Hanako was the only one I got exactly what I expected from in the demo, but she was still well built and her type of character is always a necessity I feel in these types of games.

What were some of the challenges writing scenarios for this time of eroge?

Lastly, which of the girls is your favorite?

So my Questions for you:

How did you keep yourself motivated, or was that never a problem for you?

Your Words of Wisdom for people that would like to follow your Path?

What extras, if any do you plan to release with the game? I saw the vid you had with Melty Blood, and I thought it'd be interesting if something like that could be included. Or at least some high quality versions of Katawa Shoujo parodying other eroge OPs.
