Katawa Shoujo Forums

As much as I'd love to link y'all to stuff I've written, I haven't actually posted most of it anywhere. Pretty sure I wrote some rubbish fanfiction in our fanfiction forum though, go read that.

To the devs: How did you explain to your parents/family/friends what were you working on for those long hours? I find pretty hard to explain to unrelated people what is KS about. Its an akward speech most of the time. This was easy, I didn't tell anyone I worked on it. My brother found out because ...

Is there any reason you think people seem to like Shizune's path less than others? Is it just me thinking that? Also, will there ever be patches to Katawa Shoujo since its version 1.0.0, unless I missed them and am really stupid :oops: Shizune was, probably, the most popular path when the demo rele...

Yup. And Hugh Laurie as "Nurse". The issue figured on the forum so I'll ask: Was the matter of safe sex among our heroes discussed between writers, or was it just every writer's own decision? Were there talk about educational aspect of this topic? I want to say that like way back in the early days ...

I feel it's necessary to thank all of you again for this VN. It was, and continues to be, a truly magical experience each time my thoughts drift back to it. For personal reasons , I'm especially grateful to Aura and everyone else involved with Rin's route. This was a fun little thread to read while...

Not my own experience, but it was a reference to this comic. It seemed like the sort of rookie mistake the two would make.

Who was the most critical during the game's development? Almost impossible to say, honestly. A lot of stuff we went through with a harsh eye, although to be honest there's a lot of stuff that we considered problematic (or some of us considered problematic) which remained in the end because sometime...

Hilariously for me and for you all, that scene wasn't a reference to that.

When designing the characters, how did you get the idea of letting Emi be a running athlete? Was Oscar Pistorius ever an influence? I'm asking this because i was reading some articles about the upcoming Olympic games (big sports fan here) and then i saw this article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news...

Katawa Shoujo has just been named VGTribune's Game of the Month for Janurary, your thoughts? Also, if I were to meet any of you at a con, would mind if I asked for an autograph? 1. I don't know what that is, but its' neat to hear. 2. I would not care, but it is insanely unlikely as I basically neve...

How many dicks has Emi taken? Did she have sex with anyone else while she was with Hisao? Did she have sex with the track captain? Did she have sex with the nurse? Do you think the fact she was written by a woman was the reason she became such a vapid slut valleygirl? I'm a woman? Well, this is cer...

Thank you for those answers, and has this question ever been asked? You guys created a really awesome game, but what kind of games do you guys like to play? Are you guys even gamers? I play a little bit of everything--I'm a big Bioware fan, I have an irrational love of anything Ice Pick Lodge has d...

3. One thing that really stood out to me about the game was the interesting side characters (except Hideaki, who I personally found kind of dull). I was wondering, if you didn't have to worry about story and pacing restrictions, which side character (i.e., apart from the main six girls) you'd like ...

Did you guys expected that kinda of feedback? I mean, almost everybody really loving the game and even some people that are changing their lives after the experience. Or the game getting in a Top 10 by user reviews. We expected that people would like the game--I, at least, did not expect the game t...

"Narrative playthrough" reminds me a lot of "director's commentary" you see often in movie. And I have to say: it would be extremely wonderful and interesting to see what the writer have to say about his/her own writing, but I highly doubt anyone would be willing to do something like that. I get th...
