Katawa Shoujo Forums

I have two questions. 1. Have you been interviewed as a group for gold yet? It would be interesting to see you lot all come up in a destructoid or Kotaku interview. 2. Following the game on various forums there has been some apparent dissatisfaction with how some of the routes turned out, indeed I'...

This is a kind of a specific question, not exactly directed towards the game since all questions have been answered previous posts. Did you draw your avatar (or, the art it originated from to say it) yourself, Suriko? It looks amazing! By far one of my favorites regarding this game, it has "somethi...

sex scenes and emotionally gripping scenes got probably the most scrutiny.

Guest wrote:On a less sappy note, was stuff like Emi being offended at Hisao trying to "fix" her and Hanako's bad end purposely lashing out at "white knighting" or was it merely coincidence?

it's purposeful but a bit differently than what you imply.

I LOVED Katawa Shoujo I'm gonna be visiting some anime cons in belgium/netherlands. I'd love to spread the word about the game. Is it fine if I hand it out to people who are interested? (if they are over the age of 18 ofcourse) You're free to distribute KS as long as it's for free and attributed to...

On pronunciation: Katawa: The stress is on the second syllable? Thanks to these posts, http://ks.renai.us/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2548&start=105#p44066 http://media.indiedb.com/cache/audio/games/1/14/13250/encode_mp3/Katawa_Shoujo_-_Manifest_Panel.mp3 I know that Hisao and Shizune have what we America...

No.

I put this in feedback because it seems like an error, but in Lilly's path she wakes up Monday morning in Hisao's dorm room and takes a shower . Kenji's scenes show a typical boy's dorm communal bathroom/shower, so where is Lilly taking this shower? Even if it was 4:00 AM, Hisao can't assume an emp...

You can assume that if you like.

First of all, thanks so much for doing this thread and for all the work the devs put into the game. I almost fell out of my chair upon learning Shizune and Lilly were related. Great surprise and a great device to up the stakes for those characters. How long ago was this decided and how collaborativ...

1. Why does Rin tie her shirt sleeves in knots rather than just doing something like stitching up the ends of a short-sleeved shirt? It always makes me feel like she's just become armless a moment ago and had to improvise. 2. Was it a conscious decision by her writer (or the team in general) to hav...

How does the dev team feel, knowing that the game you guys created has actually helped and changed some people's lives?

Feels good.

Guest wrote:Like Hisao I was wondering if there is a special meaning or reason why Rin always wears long sleeves with a knot or is this just the way she likes it?

Yes.

Are you keeping an eye on how many downloads are being done? It'd be neat to see how popular this is.

We're not really.

A combination of the two.
