not worth downloading if you already played Act 1, since this is just a "make-up update"

Ugh~ i want to play the Full Version~~ >_<
i think new emi is kinda weird.... i like the b4 emi better~

you know that by releasing this in "spoiled" parts, this will spoil the final release....

Ah. I had a feeling. I already played Act 1, so yeah, not gonna bother.

Thanks for adding this! They still hadn't posted it on the blog at the time I made my post here and went to sleep, so I sadly couldn't do it myself.

Does anyone have details on when the full version is coming out? Or is it still TBA?

Still TBA. They do give us the occasional update on what they've done, though, so at least we know they're still working on it. :D

And if anyone cares, they just released a patch to fix a problem with the Chinese script in v3. Not needed for other languages.

well, blame them that they even care to even translate all of them into different languages first, rather than finishing anything.

And we apparently have an Act 1 v4. Nothing really new for those who have already played v3, though, unless you want to play it in French.

Oh this looks interesting, i'll need to get it a run =D

I have been waiting until nearly giv up

from their latest panel
Suriko: Alright, I had a release date on here. Aura said to take it off. So… I think he might not kill me if I say we’re hoping to release late this year or in 2011. I don’t think he will kill me for that. If not, Aura, I’m sorry for saying that.

A release date? I really hope that its true, I've been looking forward to this game for forever.

It needs more Hanako...no exceptions.

Can't wait to play the game. : )

UPDATE!!!!!ITS ALMOST DONE!!!!
Emi path:
Writing: Path script is finalised.
Direction: Path direction is completed.

Lilly path:
Writing: Path script is finalised.
Direction: Act 3 out of 4 complete.

Hanako path:
Writing: Path script second draft finished, Act 4 in editing.
Direction: Act 2 out of 4 complete.

Rin path:
Writing: Act 4 second draft in progress.
Direction: Act 3 out of 4 complete.

Shizune path:
Writing: Act 4 second draft in progress, Act 3 in editing.
Direction: Act 2 out of 4 complete.

Overall:
Direction of Act 1 and Act 2 is complete, and Act 3 is most of the way towards completion as well. Emi path is now finalised as far as script and direction goes, aside from small-scale edits and direction tweaks to account for specifics of the art assets as they're done. The current hope is that with the game assets being in the position that they are, direction should hopefully be able to continue without stopping and waiting for acts to be written and/or edited. Art is, as usual, largely under wraps as far as progress goes. All sprites are complete for every character (barring the odd expression or two that's sometimes needed during direction), so the artists are working on completing the remaining CGs and cutins. On the CG side, there are very few CGs that require drawing from scratch, with most of those remaining requiring colouring before completion.

So that's where the project currently stands. The coming months are going to be a busy time in preparation for release, but rest assured that Katawa Shoujo will be released in 2011.

I just read that on the devblog! I'm guessing that it will come out around May.

Act 1 v5 is out now. Nothing really new for those who've already played v4, just some minor fixes and more translations added.
