Question to any of the writers. Though I understand that your free time was mainly working on the project, as a writer myself must know; During development, or whilst planning out or writing scenes, did you ever get any ideas or inspiration for stories not related to KS? Sure, we thought up and eve...

Plz don't stalk any of us.

I list here and here some observations I made while playing through the Emi route which I think indicate that Emi was intended to be the "natural" route that players go through first. I also point out some of the negative consequences that Emi's Act 1 presentation had on her reception up until rele...

Lead artist at the time wanted to design a new uniform. After he quit we reverted back to RAITA's design.

Any chance of a new artbook? That might be contributable towards? It's not out of the realm of possibility. We invite only people we know and like to contribute to them. Would you consider inviting artists from the shimmie? *becomes increasingly transparent* Well yeah, a very prominent fanartist mi...

What do you think the hardest stage/part of making a VN is? It feels like that organizing and getting everyone to compromise their ideas to get on a basic path we all could agree upon was more difficult than the writing, art design, and coding we've completed thus far. Do you guys feel the same way...

I think KS is all right.

I noticed that all the major characters in the game, as well as some minor ones, are all sort of "paired" in a complementary way, i.e. serious Shizune and bubbly Misha, outgoing Lilly and shy Hanako, and energetic Emi and laid-back Rin. I even think of plain Mutou contrasting with flamboyant Nomiya...

If it's not too personnal Aura, I wanted to know if you studied in an art school and used your personnal experience to write Rin's path ? I talked about Rin's artistic struggles with old friends I was in art school with and they were surprised how well you managed to decrypt the personal art strugg...

2) Any advice for people like to making their own VNs?

1) They were paid with not having to moderate the 4 first pages of their board filled with KS threads.
2) You probably suck, get over it and work hard to not suck.

Dylan wrote:You guys have the word counts for each path handy?

No, but they are something like 65 000-90 000 words each.

Reiraku wrote:Pardon if I missed it from earlier in the thread, but are any of the writers currently working on any new projects? I would love to hear about any upcoming works (VN or not) from Suriko or Crud. (Lilly's path being my favorite with Hanako a close second.)

Not at the moment
