Sounds like that's where the introduction video is supposed to start. I assume you're running it on Windows, which means I can only guess. But if video won't play, it may be a codec issue. I'm not exactly sure what KS uses, but Ren'Py movie problems do appear more often. Maybe a generic search for t...

It comes with its own set of binaries, all 32-bit. I'm not sure it's realistic to try and replace them with 64-bit versions since I don't really know pygame internals. So without some serious effort, you either have a choice to use ia32-libs or install a 32 bit environment in qemu/virtualbox.

There are some differences, but nothing that affects the story. The only differences I know of are * Lelouch removed * "I'm fine" option renamed * Hanako's ending changed Plenty more from only checking Lilly's route: * Some lines of dialog added/removed/changed/split/merged. * Full screen...

Before, Hisao said (technically what the writer says then) that Shizune is like an artist throwing away her completed art, that she treats her life as a series of events that can be separated and put away. Not everything Hisao said was exactly true. Some of it even showed a stunning lack of insight...

Definitely your own fault then. In fact, I ran the two side by side in order to see what had changed when I started Lilly's path (which is identical until the last choice), and no differences were that big.

We know from Hisao's introspection that what he feels for Shizune is love. And in the end, the whole point of Shizune's character arc is that she can learn to effectively communicate through both acts of physical intimacy (the 2nd H-scene) and with words (her monologue that follows) her own love fo...

I enjoyed Shizune's route, but then again, I loved every route. It did definitely drag on too long, but I felt like the relationship between her and Hisao was realistic enough. The supporting cast in the route was pretty fantastic, if that means anything. It felt mostly realistic, that is until the...

Hmmmm, it'll be interesting to see how my predominantly rational thought process will cope with these kinds of questions. 1. Which girl's thread affected you the most emotionally? Why did it do this? That depends on the emotion I guess. In pure drama it would be Lilly's. That route was entirely set ...

I didn't read everything people posted, but my thoughts are that she WANTED hisao to tell her not to go, wich he realised ( almost ) too late. Hadn't thought of this, but that's a very good point. Having just experienced something like this in real life (though not to the extend of "I'll never...

And question: Hisao said Shizune tied his hands for more than just the obvious reasons. What were they? She likes to be in control, it gives her confidence. She's taking a huge step in their relationship, and doesn't want anything to go wrong, so she's only happy if she knows she's in complete cont...

Today I read Act 4 of the Shizune path again because I was wondering about something. Pretty quick I was reminded of why I enjoyed it so much when I read it first. I suspect that the reason why a lot of people don't like this path as much has to do with expectations. Especially after act 1 gave high...

For me the Rin neutral end is the second in bad ends. And yes, for me that one is the true bad end since it made me feel much worse than the quick cut off. I suppose Kenji would be third as I don't even rate the other bad ends. They were much too quick to leave any lasting impact. Even the Hanako ba...

The decisions in "In Her Own Image" correspond to the colors of the previous three sets of decisions. If you picked "It's refreshing" at "Things You Like," for example, the option "Because it would be exciting" appears at "In Her Own Image" (because...

These are excellent! A few small comments though: - Using the Shizune bad end CG as background for act 4 is rather .... mean. Some of us really loved that path you know. :wink: - The last arrow in Hanako Act 3 goes over the question box. - You missed the "Good ending" box on the Lilly char...

Given the length of Shizune's bad ending, this counts to me as pretty brief. This is actually why I think the Shizune bad end is the best bad end of the game. Not only does it give nearly a whole act to see the consequences of the choice play out, it also leaves enough questions to be debatable. I ...
