Re: The extent of Rin's independence.

wouldn't she have to rely on Emi for that task until she finds a way to do it herself? No. You are still operating on the premise that Rin can't handle her daily life without help. She can. If it's something she has to do repeatedly, she most likely already knows how to do it, or it's something sil...

Re: The extent of Rin's independence.

Personally, I would say that Rin is fairly dependent on Emi for some things. No. The entire point of what I said on the blog was that Rin is not dependent on Emi (or anyone) for pretty much anything. There are things that are inconvenient but possible, or things that she hasn't gotten around to lea...

Re: Katawa Shoujo Act 1 Preview feedback thread

You might be surprised to know that in Japan, people do shake hands as greeting or thanks, just like in west. I'm not going to go and estimate whether it is rare or common (I bet bowing is way more common), just that it's perfectly normal.

Re: Shizune's cell phone

Word of God, etc etc, but I was still under the impression that the deaf community was all-up-ons SMS. At least in America, they're very tight-knit. Are Japanese deaf not closely-knit, or what? It seems counter-intuitive is all. She's gotta have at least one deaf friend, and even if she didn't, you...

Re: How well with KS stand up to the other great VN?

Hurr durr durr. There are no legal issues. Every photo source in KS either we own or is in PD. The ones that are taken on public property we are free to do anything with, including using them as backgrounds for a porn game, free or commercial. The closest to something sketchy are the ones from Brown...

Re: Shizune's cell phone

Shizune is oldfashioned and uses a cute stationery notebook and a fountain pen that she carries with her if she needs to talk through writing.

Re: If KS were animated what studio would you want to make it?

I think RAITA was the head visual designer on Valkyria Chronicles actually. So not only the characters, but also the rest of the visual look. He's a pretty huge military stuff fan. Anyway yeah, at least all the character designs are by him.

Re: How well with KS stand up to the other great VN?

The torrent alone has well over 40000 downloads, I haven't asked the DDL figures lately but it's more than torrent has, plus then there's the mirrors we can't track. So around 90 000-150 000 in total. For comparison, a moderately successful commercial eroge in Japan sells around 30 000-40 000 copies...

Re: How well with KS stand up to the other great VN?

Weird question. Like asking how well does [a movie] stand up to the other great movies. I dunno, it's sort of hard to compare objectively. People will like different things, but I guess the quality of one's work can be considered some sort of measuring stick. We lose in production values to high-end...

Re: Estimated length

Yeah episodic releases would be rather weird. Not really a good idea. At most we could release the complete paths one by one, but since we are working on them simultaneously (and concentrating on a single path wouldn't significantly speed up its progress), they will all be done more or less simultan...

Re: Fan Merch?

Yeah why not, if you: 1. Don't claim any association with us, no "official merchandise" 2. Don't use anything that's done by us. No game assets, not even traced/altered. We don't own the stuff in shimmie except the ones by staff artists, but I'd imagine the original artists have largely similar opin...
