Katawa Shoujo Forums

I’d like to apologize in advance for the length of this post, but I thought of a few more questions, and I was also curious about a number of questions that went unanswered in this thread. I understand you may have deliberately avoided answering some of these, but you may also just have missed or f...

Sorry if this has been asked somewhere, but I wanted to know if any of the people who worked on this are currently working as programmers, ilustrators, composers...on the industry or if most of you when you started KS project didn't have any experience/only a bit in this business. None of us work i...

I was wondering if the devs took any inspiration from the Japanese runner Maya Nakanishi in researching Emi's disability and running habits. While their life stories are quite different (Ms. Nakanishi only lost one leg in a work-related accident), I found some of their motivations similar (being st...

when is Kenji´s birthday? that no appear in his bio.

Don't think anyone ever gave him one.

Been a LONG time since I last posted. Anyway, this question is 100% hypothetical at this point as I don't have video capture/editing software or a computer mic, but say someone was to create a video Let's Play of KS, and they wanted to have people they know do character voices for it... would that ...

Hello, I have a bit of a question for the writing staff. I noticed as I read that the movement of the story and the interplay of the characters was causing and interesting perspective shift for me. By the end of the game I had forgotten about the character I was pursuing's disability entirely and h...

How many in the devteam was experienced with VNs before the project? How did you view the medium back then and how has that opinion changed during the development of KS? I think that most had read at least one or two VNs before the project. Some us don't really care about them, some have read them ...

Not sure if this has been asked but I just wanted to know how Aura, Nicol, etc felt about "Four Leaf Studios" getting disbanded after spending 5 years together to create such a wonderful game? I just find it hard to believe that everyone of you guys worked together to put in all your blood, sweat a...

What was the reason for separating homework from the relationships in KS? It felt like a forced dividing plot device when it was used in the stories. They could do it together, or even tutor each other in the subjects they were weak at. Yet they always do it independently. There's no particular rea...

If there was going to be a Hollywood adapatation of Katawa Shoujo , which actor would you want to each portray the characters ? Hisao - William Shatner Lilly - Morgan Freeman Rin - Ian McKellen Emi - Patrick Stewart Shizune - Christopher Lee Hanako - Sean Connery Misha - Clint Eastwood Kenji - Bill...

Anyway, first question: was there a particular reason that Lilly's "Good End" was the only path that had an Epilogue? Or was that snippet after the credits something else? Whatever its purpose, it definitely stood out! Suriko was the only writer who didn't think epilogues are lame. Also, to each de...

All of the images and pictures which are in the game, meaning those without any characters in them, did you guys take the pictures and edit them with Photoshop, or just plucked them off of the internet or something like that? I assume you mean the backgrounds? Most of them were photos taken by us, ...

It's a s-e-c-r-e-t.

Also, do you have any future plans for Visual Novels?

Our secret is not giving a fuck. Also that article is bogus. Also, nothing we'd want to talk about.

Well, this thread is full of stuff like that, and so is the blog. We're not the best judges on whats interesting, but I'm sure lots of anecdotes would be so.
