Re: CSS aural style sheets

I wrote a chat program in PHP for firesigntheatre.com and added some simple changes to support screen readers after a blind Firesign fan contacted me (the chat program just auto-refreshes the chat page to get new text, but for a screen reader, it would re-read the same text over & over). It wasn't t...

Re: Yamaku near Sendai?

Obviously the thing to do is to have all of them living near the Fukushima plant and mutate into Katawa Genshi-ro Shoujo* and fight evil Mecha devised by Setou Enterprises.

Re: Katawa Crash (FAQ and to-do log first post)

If you have any good ideas for where to house a 2mb .swf file with a small risk of going excessively viral, though, love to hear 'em. You could put it up on archive.org (free) and not give it any keywords (or just one, if it requires at least one). Default is for everything on archive.org to be pub...

Re: Katawa Shoujo paperback

The trio of Lambert M. Surhone, Mariam T. Tennoe and Susan F. Henssonow have "written" an astounding 242,000 "books" on Amazon (including over 150 just last Tuesday), all going for $39-$173 each. Some favorite tags of these authors by customers are fraud, swindle, and waste of money. Also see http:/...

Re: System requirements?

It might be more useful to state that KS is using Ren'Py 6.10.2 http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/releases/6.10.2 I can run KS fine under Mac OS/X 10.4.11 on a dual core intel mac. Red_Machine, looking around it appears the problem might be this: The mac Ren'Py was built with a libsdl that used -falti...

Re: Your Children Are Not Yours

While I agree that fan fiction is not wrong, I would say that different stagings of Shakespeare's plays are a poor example here. A different stage direction of a play is built into the writing of a play--it's part of the medium. Now a play that tells the further adventures of that dumbass friar who...

Um, wouldn't it be fairly accurate to say that KS was started because a bunch of people thought that actually making a game as outlined by Raita would be a neat idea?

Re: Your Children Are Not Yours

You know, if we should be technical about it, then isn't Katawa Shoujo a fan work on the image by Raita? Considering the difference of magnitude, more accurate would be to say that KS is a work influenced by that image. However, anyone's free to define "fan work" as they will, but by the definition...

Okay, now this is just me making an approximate count kind of support along the lines of the old popularity thread before the poll was hacked, the amount of images on the shimmie and oekaki, and only taking into consideration the girls you have the possibility of getting. Harem is included as contr...
