At the time of the Act 1 release, how much of the current storyline was set in stone? I'm curious about whether any of the major plot points in the current game were complete changes from whatever the plan was several years ago. With KS, nothing has ever been set in stone. We did have a draft of th...

Someone in the Rin thread posted that they felt the choices in her path were difficult to make, that the "right" answer was hard to get at and hard to understand and that this made sense given what a hard time Hisao has trying to understand Rin. Was there an attempt to affect the player through the...

How does it feel to have spent so much time on this, and it turn out so well?

Because this game is beautiful, quite frankly.

Feels good man.

Now that the game had been released, are the creators going to stay active on the blog, forums, and IRC? And how long are all of the Katawa Shoujo websites going to stay up, like the forums/blog/shimmie/etc? Blog will pretty much die after some time, I imagine. The rest will stay up for as long as ...

This question might be awkward because I'm not quite sure how to phrase it, sorry. This is directed at the writers mostly, but how does it feel when people say they were personally affected by your work? Like, for example Emi's path made me realize that I've been dealing with the trauma of losing s...

Xevo wrote:Why in the end no proper Misha route?

Or any other hidden route for that matter?

This has been talked to death years before the release. No Misha path because we didn't want to make one. Period.

What sort of challenges did you encounter when creating and deciding on each character's personality and respective path? Was each one formulated through group discussions or where specific people sent out to write out a number of potential ideas? How were ideas eventually narrowed down to what we ...

I am not sure whether this has been asked before but how did the musicians record the music? Has everything been made with synthesisers or a corresponding program or have, at least some of the pieces, been recorded with real instruments? What I am actually asking is: What kind of instruments do you...

All the artists have worked on every path, but Kamifish is the main artist for Rin. Also no, we won't release the game assets.

Life may take them to different directions, and they acknowledge that.

Hey Aura. I don't mean to be vague, as this is aimed a all the writers in general, but I'm curious as th where much of the inspiration for the stories for each character came from. I'm aware RAITA outlined the characters, but a lot of the stories seem quite original, and if I may say so, quite touc...

Back when we released Act 1, I had a Q&A session over at Fakku, and it was really fun. So, here's a more permanent place to ask me and the rest of the devs all sorts of questions about KS and making of the game. Since I expect there will be quite a few posts in this thread, here's a bit of a preface...

Hisao is not you. He doesn't have super ventricular tachycardia nor your mindset. He is a character in a story with condition of his own and his own personality. The word "arrhythmia" is used instead of the name of his condition (Long QT syndrome) because it's associative to more people than medical...
