Katawa Shoujo Forums

During the collaborative parts of the active writing process, how did you manage to, well, move forward? It's so difficult to come to any sort of consensus with everybody's creative egos clashing all the time. Unless there's a complete respect of each other's skill and opinion, protracted battles o...

I had to use google to find out what that means. Sorry, I don't visit any imageboards.

Mirage_GSM wrote:So were there any finished sprites that did get cut from the VN?

At least Rin's casual outfit that you can see in the game release blog post artwork. Also obviously all the previous versions of sprites.

Guest wrote:I know you guys aware of Runbros?

I have no idea what that is. If it's "bros that run because they were inspired by Emi", I've seen some people comment they started exercising but didn't know it was a community.

Drakelord wrote:Did Rin really paint the Mona Lisa...?

Maybe.

Having gone beyond the original art and created a slew of side characters to feature in the finished product, you often state that the reason other routes don't exist is to stay true to RAITA's drawing. Having said that, if that decision was not made, which original character (male or female) would...

Is there any chance of the devs letting the Japanese translation team revamp some of the Japanese text/references in-game? I'm thinking specifically of Iwanako's letter , but then there's also little things like the distance between Miyagi and Saitama prefectures and being able to get a turkey sand...

To any of the Devs ..... is there anything that you would like to change about KS now that you had time to think about it ?? For sure, many many things. Nothing's ever perfect, and KS definitely isn't. Even when we released, there were parts we were not 100% content with, but deemed merely "good en...

Does Jigoro actually know how to use hs sword?

Better not try your luck.

Do you have have a copy of the script used for Katatwa Shoujo before it was coded? I want to get involved in VNs, but I have never written one before and need a reference as a guide. Since this VN was absolutely incredible, I would love to see what you (Aura) and the other writers wrote, like what ...

Did you had any parallel KS project at the first months, like some guys wanted more p0rn and went for it, or was it all fitted on the same project and people just dropped off? Of course, seems none had the will and talent to bring out what you did :)

No.

Terrathel wrote:Side tracks aside.... Who wrote Rin's personality and script? More specifically who wrote it, and who was their inspiration? I would be fascinated to meet someone whose mind actually works in the same manner mine does

I did. Rin is not inspired by anyone, real or fictional.

Guest wrote:Is there a reason the Antique store owner has a sprite when other minor characters, such as Hisao's father, don't?

Scene visualization purposes. The scene he is in works better when he can be shown, while the other similar scenes don't have the same need.

What would you guys added if you had another year to develop the game? I don't know. More art at least, there places where we were a bit on the fence whether we needed CGs. I guess refine the script some more, maybe pay more attention to the subplots in a couple of paths. Maybe some bonus material?...

They're not. I'm quite certain weee or whoever first drew natsume did it without having seen a photo of me.
