From the blog entry: Since Act 1 was released, we've gotten dozens, possibly in the hundreds, inquiries from people wanting to join 4LS to work on KS. We've accepted none of them. The reason for some of the declinations was that we didn't want to add features like voice acting, but in most cases we...

Yeah PM Fink on forums, or talk to him on IRC.

I've played through both Emi's and Lilly's route, and in both of them I really enjoyed every scene involving Mutou (especially in Emi's route), as he really reminded me of past teachers I had which convinced me that I wanted to go into the sciences. 1. How did you guys come up with him? 2. Did he h...

Dylan wrote:Aura/Hivemind- Lots of lines are shared in "Target Audience" in both Emi and Rin routes. Who wrote what?

Hivemind

were the scenes just put in where they seemed to fit the story best? Yes - (It would be great to hear multiple opinions on this one!) Do you think the story (/stories) would have been noticeably different without the ero content? What if those bits had just been summarized with no illustration? Did...

Guest wrote:Hey Aura, what kind of music does Rin like?

Dunno. I've seen it being heavily debated before. For some reason people always attribute some really obscure hipster music genres to her.

Sure why not.

Freya wrote:How did you guys/gals decide who wrote what path?

Everyone picked a path they thought they'd like to write. A22 and crud both wanted Hanako, but crud "won" in the end. Hivemind got to choose last, when Emi was the only choice left.

1. After I read through Act 1 last year, curiosity led me to tracke down the leaked Grid1. What I find most interesting about that is the dramatic improvement between this and the final release (at least in writing, since I don't think there were reused art assets and original music in there). What...

Merlyn_LeRoy wrote:Any thoughts from any of the path writers on some of the deconstruction/motives/character analysis/etc of their story?

Way too open ended question to answer.

Our opinion > yours

Back with some more questions: 1) Earlier in time you devs mentioned that KS at one point had rape scenes. What ultimately resulted in those scenes getting deleted? Too controversial perhaps? 2) I guess it's safe to assume that rape would've always resulted to a bad end? 3) What really happened to ...

Do you still visit /a/? Is their reaction to the game pretty much as you expected? Is there anything in the game that you're surprised hasn't been picked up on and spoken about more or anything that you're surprised has been given a lot of attention? I've read a few /a/ threads after the release, m...

Is Molly the only cameo in Hanako's last CG, or are some of the other characters in that one rejected characters/characters from other projects? She's not the only cameo. The boy next to Molly is a character from the same story Molly is from, and the girl in green dress is from a game someone we kn...

What are the Devs reaction to this article ? http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/01/10/impressions-katawa-shoujo/ Plenty of people find the narrative style of most VNs (including KS) too drawn-out and wordy and the minimal interaction boring. Nothing wrong with that, but it's also nothing new. Als...
