It's been years, and Lilly's path was a mess of continuous and haphazard edits. From what I can remember, this is closest to what was intended. It seems to me it's like this: Family lives in House A (the one near a city on Hokkaido) Family moves to House B ("our real house", the one fairly...

A lot of people talk about a possible KS2, but the thing is, how would that even work? VNs usually don't have sequels (Well, some do). Like, new characters, same concept? I don't know, I don't think it would work. Most of KS themes are explored succesfully during the first game, a sequel would be i...

On the topic of who wrote what, did you have some preconcieved ideas of what you wanted to write about, and apply it to your particular character? Or were all the overarching plot themes/elements created after you knew who you were writing for? I went into Lilly path without any real idea of what I...

3ds Max, Blender Okay, you've piqued my interest. I don't recall any 3D in KS. What did you use modelling software for? The movies. Also, the background of the classroom CG. I did some work with Google Sketchup for a number of the CG backgrounds. Shizune student council room, Emi dorm room, and the...

Sure are.

Well we do have a Miki route currently being made by a couple guys from KSG, they're building it into the VN with modified miki assets so if we are lucky it'll be good and finished soon You can make a VN if you so wish, but we never gave clearance to use KS art assets, and that includes modified as...

During their date Lilly mentions to Hisao that Akira felt that the strict school they attended was suffocating and she left for a job as soon as she was able to. In Japan, only elementary and middle school are mandatory. Does that mean Akira never even attended high school? (and somehow still manag...

This may have been asked before, but what tips or suggestions would you give to newbs who want to develop an original VN? Start small. Renpy is probably the best choice for a newcomer to making VNs - its documentation is in English, and it's very easy to make a very basic VN. High school romance is...

Is there a recording (if it was audio) or a screenshot (if it was text) of cpl_crud and Suriko having a shouting contest over some detail of Hanako's personality or story? :twisted: Kidding, ofc - that is, I assume (from the way you all still frequent the same forum) that there was no in-team fight...

To the pathwriters of these girls: What's Hanako/Lilly/Shizune/Rin's favorite season? :) Lilly's is mentioned ingame. Winter. Sounds like Suriko might be well placed to answer my question: Does Hanako like reading non-fiction, especially history? Fantasy and sci-fi. Mainly escapism-oriented fiction...

I'm not too sure if this is the place to ask this (or if even if it's been asked already; sorry, I tried to read most of this thread, and failed spectacularly), but what books did the devs read during KS? Or maybe a personal fave? I grabbed some of Murakami's books due to crud name dropping him a f...

Was is drawn by Suriko?

Also, is there a source file for the carillon bells of Yamaku?

It was drawn by Skim. I just did the shitty vector+wall. Source image is here [shimmie]231[/shimmie]

It's that time of the year again, and just as the case was in 2012, a number of Katawa Shoujo developers will be attending and operating tables at the Anime Expo convention, held at the Los Angeles Convention Centre from July 4th to July 7th. The developers in attendance will be Weee (artist), Gebyy...

A couple questions from me. I apologize if they've been asked before, but I just haven't been able to get through all 184 pages yet 1) Everyone can agree that the characters in the game ring amazingly true to life regarding their feelings and emotions. Do any of the devs have any sort of background...

Were any of you fans of Raita's work before you started working on the game, or had you not heard of him before that image was posted on 4-chan? I followed his work beforehand. His mechanical designs are quite interesting, to my mind moreso than his girls. I'm a big Valkyria Chronicles game fan, to...
