Re: A new novel by Cpl Crud

Also, there are a number of milestones in the blog post that will trigger me to get off my backside and write more KS fanfiction, including the much-requested third part to A Runner's Afternoon. So... If we buy your novel, will that count as "requesting fanfiction"? If you're ok with that...

Re: "Death Battle: Katawa Shoujos Vs. Agent Kate!"

Did... did that just happen? Did I just read a crossover fanfic between Katawa Shoujo and Crud's new book? Already?! :shock: I'm just as surprised as you. I have to ask - was that pre-prepared or off-the-cuff? Uhh, "off-the-cuff", I guess? It took a few hours to write out after I saw your...

A new novel by Cpl Crud

Hello all. I know that this isn't strictly KS-related, so let me start with this. Half of the profit from the sale of my novel will be donated to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF); which is where we asked you to donate money for Katawa Shoujo. So if you never made it around to donating, then please buy...

Re: Ask!

Yeah, eventually she did but it was a few months and I think that Suriko was already on board. And a good thing too, else Lilly would have owned a nice boat. In one fell swoop you dodged another endless meme. Good job guys. ;) I actually think that the others saved you all from a lot of my early da...

Re: Ask!

I know Lilly's original writer, StirFriedWeasel, got hit by a truck and was hospitalised for some time. Oh man, poor guy. Did he get out of hospital all right? Yeah, eventually she did but it was a few months and I think that Suriko was already on board. And a good thing too, else Lilly would have ...

Re: Ask!

I was just playing the Grid1 demo and was wondering whatever happened to KS' original sprite artist, Kekekeke? Why did he quit the team, and is there anywhere I can follow his current art (if he's still drawing)? Thanks. Honestly can't remember. I think that was really early on, before any of us kn...

Nope. Just coincidence.
Also Sato (and various other spellings) are damned common in Japan.

Surname extinction is a real thing.

Depends on the grouping.

The last major group I met was at the Summer Comiket in Tokyo last year (Raide, Suriko, Weee and Hir)


But I made everyone drink too much so now I need to make amends.

Re: Ask!

I was going to say inception as well as it is a pretty recent example, although I think the point there was to show that the character had given up on being so paranoid about the dream world and started to "live" again.... . In any case, I think it is exactly what that movie needed. It rea...

Re: Ask!

So keep an eye on my blog; I'm really only waiting on the cover art and the final couple of changes from the editors.... I'm hoping for a late Feb release (if digital). What is the process of getting your own work published? There are a number of processes, and obviously I haven't gone through all ...

Re: Ask!

Hey Devs! CplCrud- I have also read through your blog during my search of anything KS related, and I really loved your KS fan fics(Runner's afternoon, Final Finale)! And after realising how good you are at writing, I subscribed to your blog and read through Daydream, Run and Arctic Gale up to chapt...

Re: A question regarding license

I think if you are just making a reference then there is no real issue. If you are point-for-point ripping off the ideas and themes of the game then it is different. The Rin Katawa example sounds fine to me to be honest. If you are talking about background characters, and you are writing/drawing the...

Re: Ask!

This is a weird question but: Have any of you played, read or seen Higurashi before or after making KS? I learned recently that some of the images used for KS backgrounds were taken in the same area as that VN. Other VN's tend to reference or draw inspiration from it, or so they say, did it have an...

Re: Ask!

When approaching the steps for writing the story, did you feel comfortable with the ability you had, or did you feel you had to touch up on it with a guide book to help some of your weaker points or even take writing classes? And in any case, would you suggest doing either of those things for anyon...
