Katawa Shoujo Forums

A bit of context because you’re not all in my head (fortunately) and (apologies) I didn’t explain this as well I should have: Lilly, Hanako, Hisao, and Kaonashi are in university. Hisao never went to Yamaku (alt universe and all that jazz) and he met Hanako at school. Ok, I might have lied about wh...

Hey, you know that I tend to focus on the negative stuff in my comments. That also means that if I only have one or two points to criticize, the rest has to have been pretty good ;-) I've heard of your (in)famous comments, Mirage; your reputation precedes you. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a...

How do you know they weren't talking about some other patient? :P Conservation of detail. Oh, conservation of detail. I read that just the other day as I was working on another project. As a result, a major-ish plot item was tucked away into a description of all the junk the protagonist finds as sh...

Well, thanks for the feedback, mirage. I hope you'll find SOMETHING you enjoy in the next chapter :P It's also a little unfair to you guys because this project has been used by myself to better understand anxiety. In a way, the whole thing might be better as a collection of short stories rather than...

Really? Given how collected Hanako was in the story so far I don't think a joke about her musical tastes would be enough to set her off like that. I had to reread the section thrice to even understand what it was she was upset about. And the explanation below goes not even halfway to justify such a...

Chapter 3: Post-Mortem I slot the record gingerly onto the turntable, the thought of damaging the best gift I’ve ever been given never far from my mind, even after two months of practice. Bill Evans and Paul Chambers from Miles Davis’ So What have begun their halting march to setting the pace for t...

Welp, TIL. That's pretty wild.

Personally, I see Hanako as the most likely to want to make her own clothing. At the very least, I can easily see her making clothes for her dolls. I think Hanako would want to make her own clothes but she'd probably take a LOT of pushing to actually do it. [quote="QuietlySomething]...I wonder...

2007 last time I checked

Does it change from time to time?

I think they only way it could work is if the text's progress on-screen and the facial expressions were matched up with the voices. This would require a re-write of the game so that voice files play as the text scrolls, and this would turn the VN into more of a movie. Others have also pointed out th...

While Hanako came off as sounding too much like Hisao in the first chapter, in the second, she had the problem of not sounding enough like Hanako. At first anyway. I can't really explain it well, but she just didn't feel right for the first couple of segments in chapter 2. Is it the lack of stutter...

I don't think you did a bad job of it though - in either chapter. Thanks, I guess? No but seriously, thanks for reading it. I also feel that fonts is a bad way to distinguish between POVs but it's something I'd heard a couple of times. It's never been something truly int he cards, simply because I ...

Chapter 2: A near miss I wake up shivering; for once Naomi isn’t my de facto alarm clock. Why is it so cold? The extra blanket under my bed comes to mind but before I can get it, there’s a familiar soft knock at my door. “Hanako?” Natsume’s voice, almost as quiet as my own, barely carries through t...

Thanks for the feedback! Using multiple POVs in a single chapter like this was something I hadn't seen done before in my brief survey of the forum and I figured I'd give it a shot. You are right though, and there is lots that needs work. At the same time I think this story could be making better use...

Yeah, kind of out of character for a guy who's as sneaky as an elephant... Then again, we know he's capable of being a decent human being on occasion.
