Re: Why didn't I cry?

I didn't cry at either of the routes, but I am psychically blocked from crying altogether. At most, I get teary-eyed.

I guess as long as it isn't Mufasa's death scene you're allowed to stop short of crying :D

Re: If you could bully Hanako in the game...

I think there's a special place in the afterlife for people who think that way. It isn't pleasant. Also, the entire point is... pointless. Hanako is both capable of getting VERY angry when pushed too far as well as... Lilly, in short. She'd either notice or be told about it by Hanako herself. And th...

Re: The Hanako Thread - Spoilers, obviously

ps: Hanako's pose over the pool table is oddly very arousing. i'd be willing to say that is her most attractive cg. This. Have you guys seen Lilly's red cheongsam picture and just refused to acknowledge her hotness, or did you just somehow miss it? Hanako in her hat during the billboard match = ult...

Re: Would you play a "mental disability" VN similar to KS?

Thanks for the advice! It's not final as noted in my comments above but here's a bit of defence... DON'T go there. Seriously. Just don't. There aren't many ways to solve a character like that, and I fear a Hanako rip-off if we try to do it "originally". It wasn't intended as original char...

Re: Would you play a "mental disability" VN similar to KS?

Nah. I'm afraid I'd always go for the hot psychopath and get downer a.k.a dead ending. It is an interesting idea, you'd just have to pick things that are not too destructive and, preferably, not too commonly known. The setting should NOT, by any means, be a school in Japan. Maybe a small town with l...

Re: The Hanako Thread - Spoilers, obviously

I just finished Hanako's route yesterday. Since I was already hardened by the emotional roller-coaster in Lilly's route, no teary eyes this time (those appeared in Lilly's route. I hate crying in all shapes and forms, so no manly tears). It was, however, sweet and touching. I could identify with Han...

Re: Ask!

Less serious : 1) Does Lilly have a preference between red and white wine? 2) Who came up with Lilly dressing into the red cheonsam as far as making the game goes? Was it the artist's or the writer's idea that she would dress that way? She looks positively stunning. 3) Who advised Lilly to buy/wear ...

Re: I want to pay... something.

I felt similarly, but there's no shame in paying our "debt" up differently than just in monetary value. Committing ourselves to translation teams, promoting the game, writing letters and topics of appreciation, fanarts etc. are ways of appreciating them. Changing our lives or donating to c...

Re: Lilly's Frustration (SPOILERS)

I don't see this. Hisao is more conservative and so perceives her actions through that lens, but she gets drunk once and after that has a glass with (some) meals. That's an unhealthy obsession? I think the idea was simply to show that there's more to her than you thought, behind the very conservati...

Re: Lilly's Frustration (SPOILERS)

I guess it's part of the overall de-Mary/Purity-Suing Lilly. Have her swear once or twice. Have her like alcohol more than she should. Have her like sex more than expected. Make her not-so-good with the mornings, either. At times, I think it's one of the only bad sides to Suriko's writing, that De-S...

Re: Would love to see a KS 2 someday

I wonder : It's been only 9 days since the release, and the guys worked for it hard and with no renumeration for about 5 long years. And yet, the demand for a sequel seems to be immediate? I'd love an art book, or a few wallpapers, or a box of unused quotes. An updated version without typos or and t...

Re: Hanako's darker tiles game

Not really. Maybe it comes from moments of great boredom or loneliness...

I often walked only on tiles of specific color or walked down the stairs by stepping on even stepts with only my left leg and on odd ones only with my right leg.

It's not THAT weird.

Re: How would you order the routes for the first playthrough

Hmm.. I'd probably recommend Lilly's last, if only because it has an epilogue/timeskip scene after the credits, unlike the other paths which end with the final scene and credits. It also feels the most ending-y, if that makes any sense. Others leave open interpretation up for the events after the p...
