Re: The Hanako Thread - Spoilers, obviously

an alpha bitch like Shizune A small correction: Shizune's not an 'alpha bitch'. Lilly could be said to be 'alpha', she's popular, beautiful (even Hanako says so) and well-liked by most everyone who knows her. Shizune on the other hand, has to force, threaten or bully people into helping her because...

Re: The Hanako Thread - Spoilers, obviously

Also, because I did her route first and felt so attached to her, I don't know if I can do the others because I won't be with Hanako. I know the feeling. What made it easier for me was to use the Skip Text function for Act 1 and to just decisively and quickly pick the options which would sabotage my...

Re: Would you play a "mental disability" VN similar to KS?

Another thing you guys could consider doing would be to just tell the story of one woman per game. Each game might be much shorter than KS is but at the same time might be just as long as any of KS's individual routes are. This way, you can have five different protagonists who are each paired off wi...

Re: The Hanako Thread - Spoilers, obviously

Then I didn't mean to say "polar opposite." Jesus, calm down. :roll: This is not 4chan. A simple, "No you didn't. You said this" would suffice. Sorry for the confusion. But I believe I clarified what I meant in the last post, and if you were really interested in having an amicabl...

Re: Would you play a "mental disability" VN similar to KS?

Now that I think more about it, I'm just not liking the idea. How would a group of characters with mental and neurological disorders (mentally disabled doesn't seem like the right words the way it's been described) be round up in one place? This is the very problem I mentioned earlier: There'd be a...

Re: The Hanako Thread - Spoilers, obviously

You're speaking as if Hanako were aiming to become an alpha bitch like Shizune On the other hand, the notion that her true desire is to reverse everything about herself and become a hard-charging extravert, or that anyone who's attracted to her as she is must necessarily be focusing on the patholog...

Re: The Hanako Thread - Spoilers, obviously

Prepare yourself for an extreme guilt trip and a painful re-evaluation on why you were drawn to Hanako so much in the first place. More than any other bad end, Hanako's downer ending seems adressed to not just Hisao (who does go out of line), but also the player. Not this player. I actually liked h...

Re: Hanako's darker tiles game

Did this as a kid all the time. Did different variations on it, too. (Keep in mind that the following diagrams are all under the assumption that you're trying to walk on the darker tiles, as Hanako was.)

Re: Would you play a "mental disability" VN similar to KS?

Yes, yes; it could be argued that a few of the current KS cast members already have a mental disability, A few? Sure, I'm only two and a half paths in, but from what I've seen so far, KS is as much the story of the wide range of psychological problems people with physical disabilities may have as i...

Re: Would love to see a KS 2 someday

Would you guys even have permission to write a KS 2 without the KS 1 devs' unanimous permission? :?: I'm not so sure you would. I don't know all the details regarding the Ren'Py license, but I'm pretty sure that the proverbial dotted line that 4LS signed on when they agreed to use the Ren'Py engine ...

Re: Would love to see a KS 2 someday

As much as I am enjoying Katawa Shoujo, I would much rather see some or all of the devs reunite to work on a second novel project than reunite to work on a sequel to KS. Katawa Shoujo is very good, but from the paths I've played through to completion so far ... Emi path: I feel like I've seen all I ...

To be pedantic, these aren't so much spelling mistakes as they are grammar mistakes.

Re: Unable to skip previous read text after finishing a rout

I think it has to do with you starting a new game. If you're going from the start, then the engine thinks you haven't read any of it before. You should make a save at the first choice, then when you want to start a new path, load that one and go from there. It shouldn't have anything to do with thi...

I thought Emi;s mum has something like potential boyfriend? The scene during the track meet, when Meiko received sms, she jumps and said, "sms!? what is he, does he still think he is high-school student?" or something along that line. Then she went to meet the person who text her. Somehow...
