I've want Blobster so bad for so long, I just didn't know it. Now I'm salty too.

And me. I feel this was a mistake telling us.

Do any of you guys speak japanese? No reason, just curiosity.

I think we have better than 50% success rate for projects, if you count KS, our two other released visual novels and the five artbooks we've made as individual projects (and why wouldn't you).

I'm I missing something here? What were the two other visual novels? (Please ignore my stupidity)

If you look on the blog, a fair way down on the right hand side, they're both linked - The Answer and pXt. Don't expect anything too like Katawa Shoujo tho.

Additionally, blog post announcing pXt: http://katawashoujo.blogspot.it/2009/03 ... to-it.html

Yea. Crud is fairly fluent, Suriko at least used to study it too. Mine has rusted to the point of uselessness.

Criticism against the Weeaboos are a bit ironic then.

I think thats a bit misplaced man. I know a bit of Italian and Japanese and love both of their cultures. I don't want to be italian or japanese though. The whole principle behind Weeaboo is they love japanese culture at the exclusion of everything else. You'll never get someone to admit that the katana isn't the best sword or that perhaps there are parts of art or poetry that any other culture did better.

Anyways, not sure if my other question will get answered but I had one more and then I think I'm all out. Do any of the development team put KS on their resume or have gotten other gigs because of it? I would never work on something like this for monetary gain as well but I've noticed that when people do art like this that others will respect that and be more opened to working with them.

Damn I keep getting all teary eyed every time I listen to the soundtrack.

I don't think anyone has KS on their resume, except Raide as he has something of a career in indie game development. I'm sure some of the artists have been getting commissions from KS fans. That's about it.

That is impressive. Creating something beautiful for the act of just creating something beautiful. Not only did I get the emotional roller coaster from this but also an inspirational story from the dev team. Thank you.

Subtle stuff, and don't necessarily apply to you personally.
I just wanted to make that "joke", I don't know why.

I hope it hasn't already been asked, but how many instructors and staff know sign language? In a school as prone to life threatening accidents as Yamaku, I would assume basic proficiency would be a job requirement, but we never see it used outside of the JSL classes and the student council.

When were the animated shorts for each character made? Emi looks to me like she's in her 'Act 1 release' guise as opposed to the revised one for the final cut, and I was just curious to know if they were made for the Act 1 release.

I don't know what kind of life threatening accidents you imagine are an issue for the deaf students, but I'd expect most staff members knows at least basics.

They were made in 2010-2011, so well after Act 1 was released.
