Of course not.

So, with it having been done for a good while now... do you miss working on it? Ever find yourself thinking "aww, man. This would have been a great idea for the game if I had come up with it several years ago,"? For the various artbooks, who comes up with the themes for them? Is it put to a vote or...

I was reading through a few of the questions and I've ascertained that each dev was responsible for the story path of each of the 5 girls (which makes sense I guess). With characters such as Kenji and Yuuko (EDIT: And Hisao, come to think of it!), however, was this left to each writer's own devices...

It has. Before we had anything out, we didn't think too many people would care about KS. However, the Act 1 release turned out to pretty popular. People thought it was good and it gave us some indication of our popularity and a morale boost for working on the rest of the novel. So we kinda knew that...

Hi devs, I want to ask, who (among the devs) designed the game icon, (you know, the heart with a band-aid)? I find it is really catchy and fits the game very well. Also, could you guys tell a little bit of the story behind it? The guy who made it isn't with us anymore, in fact he left already back ...

Why are you all using a different term for it then? Anyway, off the top of my head, nothing really special comes to mind. I mean, almost everything that's well enough made to sell itself to me can elicit some sort of emotional response. I could go over my library and look for stuff I thought had tou...

What works do the devs get "the feels" from? Honestly, I still don't know what that even means. Are "feels" different from being regularly emotionally touched by something? If not, I've gotten "feels" from thousands of works. If "feels" is some special class of emotional impact, like a category 5 e...

Did the developers feel like they were morally obligated to include the FAQ regarding "the feels", an explanation of it, and how to properly direct those feelings in a constructive way naturally or were they asked to or did someone outside the team suggest that idea ? ...there's no mention of feels...

Why is my login not being recognized in the "Shimmie" section. And for that matter; what the hell is the Shimmie section ? Shimmie is an art repository for KS fanart. You can't log in because shimmie user accounts are created only for curating/administrating the gallery, so very few people need them.

I can't think at least off the top of my head of anything in KS that I've written where I could say something like "yeah this bit here, this was inspired by so-and-so", except I guess the part where I do a metaphor of the nature of art with a stanza from Blake's Auguries of Innocence. Inspiration an...

No I didn't know about the CAH cards, but that's an unofficial online clone of the game right? It's not surprising that a semi-popular game gets cards made out of it.

Who recorded the background voices for the "crowd" scenes? Like, in the cafeteria, there's a bunch of background chatter that's really hard to make out. Is that the devs? Any chance we can find out what's actually being said? It mostly sounds like nonsense but it's hard to make out clearly. This ag...

bhtooefr wrote:Is Hisao's guess at Hideaki's age (15-16) right, or given that he also got Hideaki's gender wrong, did he get his age wrong (presumably too high of a guess)? If so, how old is Hideaki?

He got it about right.

Yes, the story is not set in the year you're reading it in. This would've been difficult for us to pull off. Approximately as hard would've been setting it in the release year, because there was no way for us to know what year we were going to release. So the story is set in a year we were actually ...

Yes and no. There was no real formal hierarchy, though technically some people acted as a sort of a "final word" when needed: the producers for matters of organization and me for the script. In fact the job of a "producer" in 4LS meant that you were ultimately responsible for the stuff that didn't d...
