In other words,
If you don't mind me asking, where are you guys from (IRL)
Hivemind is in Chicago ( saw it in his tumblr )

I'm Finnish.

Were any of you fans of Raita's work before you started working on the game, or had you not heard of him before that image was posted on 4-chan? While I wasn't really a fan of his, RAITA was not unknown to me, probably not for many others either. At the time he was most famous for his peculiar way ...

When helping Rin paint the mural in Act 1, Hisao mentions reading a book about some people drinking beer and doing little else. What kind of book is that? It was a throwaway reference to a book I was reading at the time or recently finished, much like crud's Life of Pi or some other novels Hisao re...

I have zero interest in writing a Japanese high school story ever again. A few of the writers has said the same thing, care to elaborate on it? Why would you not want to write about Japanese high school story´s? Mostly it's just that too much of the same thing makes it boring as hell. The high scho...

I've noticed a fairly obvious discrepancy in how some of you devs handle "canon" in this thread, namely between Aura and Suriko. From what I've seen, Suriko insists that there is a "canon" and that it is composed of everything in the finished material and nothing more, while Aura has given response...

Is it true that every major girl in the game has a "stupid" sprite that appears only once in the game for each one of them? I remember from the top of my head Shizune's ( °^° ) face, Rin's ( 8u ) face (one eye open, other one half-closed, mouth agape), and Emi's ( °.° ) face when imitating Misha/Sh...

How many of you are interested in working on games outside of this genre? Would writing for other game types suit you, do you think? Not particularly. I mean, if an opportunity would present itself, I'd consider it for sure, but I'm not likely to seek such opportunities. EDIT: only after reading su...

Can't be nackerd to dig through 180 pages lol. Did the production of KS interrupt your daily routine or life any? How did You divide time between KS and irl Of course! We spent an incredible amount of time on KS and hanging out with each other, hundreds of hours that would've been spent on somethin...

Have any of you ever defended the game personally against critics or personally responded to harsh constructed criticism? Not really. I feel it's very unproductive to "defend" KS, for two reasons. First, it's pointless to respond. KS is already done and they already had a bad impression. At most I ...

How does run lack a bush but Emily has one? I think it should be the other way around... Emily doesn't want to be a gardener, but there's maybe something there about Emily's family circumstances that make her obsessive about house plants. Bushes get in the way of running so it's pretty natural a ru...

In a discussion elsewhere, the subject of room placement came up. Looking at the VN, in the scene 'Nobody's Room', Hisao narrates "I climb the stairs to the upper floor." Then he mentions small corridors branching off from the main hallway, each with four rooms and a bathroom. And Hisao's room is a...

For any of the writers that did their respective characters. What do you feel was the hardest part in writing your characters? Was it creating their personality? Deciding how they would talk and interact with other characters? Or something else entirely? Internal consistency and creating the feel o...

I know that you have already said that the dev team has no plans for any future content, but I want to know (if its not pushing it too much) what is your personal view on future content, like do you think it should be done etc. I'm not sure what you're asking. If we thought further KS stuff should ...

KS wouldn't be set in a Japanese high school if we started making it today. Whoa, okay, this has peaked my curiosity. So what you mean is that the setting would be elsewhere? For example, America? Or do you mean just not at a high school? It's kind of a silly thing to be curious about, but I'd like...

Wow. After reading part 1, I wonder how you guys still ended up toughing it out and finishing the game with the struggles you guys dealt with. You also mentioned in that blog that now you look back, you would have done things a lot differently compared to when you and the rest of the team actually ...
