A word about this kind of question and its variants:

Asking about likes/dislikes of fictional characters is more than a little silly. In most cases, we won't have thought of something specific or relevant to your question beforehand since it wasn't relevant to development, so you're essentially asking us to make shit up on the spot. You know what happens when we make shit up on the spot. :shock:

What else is writing if not making shit up on the spot? But yeah, who knows. They all hate all seasons.

We all know that it's silly, but some writers might have overdone it a bit and are therefore able to answer the questions. :lol: Also, KS happened when you made shit up on the spot. ;)

Some Old Guy wrote: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 few times, and really liked them (Norwegian Wood blew my mind, and I'm just about to finish A Wild Sheep Chase).

:oops: *Sighs* And yeah, KS got me reading again.

Thanks, for reminding me about books, making a great game, and possibly answering this question.

Most of the stuff i was reading you already know then. To be honest, when I need to fill a gap of something that is slightly trivial, I really just look for something nearby.

But, like Suriko, recently I have only really read non-fiction, as well as 1Q84 and The Tale of Genji

In non-fiction, apart from business books, I've recently read "Going Clear" and "Slavery Inc."

Lilly's is mentioned ingame. Winter.

Fantasy and sci-fi. Mainly escapism-oriented fiction. And whatever Crud was think of at the time besides. He basically set her reading habits rather than me.

Yuuko's focus of study and references she drops are the result of my dorking about with history.

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 fighting beyond the expected amount for any dev team?

Hey there. This question is for ANY dev or representative of 4LS at all. I come from the KS channel on a website called funnyjunk. We are a very...I'd say close knit group in all. However, recently we've split into subgroups, who all interact, play games, perform projects, and generally have a good time. I am here on bahalf of a particular sub-group called the "Shizune Alliance." We're basically a group of folks that took lessons from the Shizune route, and choose to at least try to live every day with passion for the things that we do.

My question! We made sweatshirts for our group, and ONLY our group. We used original art, and we wont be making any money off of them, however, the website we used to make them will. We wanted to clear it with you before we went ahead and ordered them. Would it be okay if we had a bit of Shizune Alliance gear to pal around in?

Yes, yes you can. Personal use + original art = good.

Hi, I was just wondering when Akira Satou's birthday was.
This is a fancy sentence.

What's the purpose with the group "Team Blobster"? :lol:

On a more serious note, is Kenji older or younger than Hisao? :)

Whose idea was it to give Misha this ridiculous shirt?
<KeiichiO>: "I wonder what Misha's WAHAHA's sound like with a cock stuffed down her throat..."
<Ascension>: "I laughed, cried, vomited in my mouth a little, and even had time for marshmallows afterwards. Well played, Xanatos. Well played."
<KeiichiO>: "That's a beautiful response to chocolate."

I would love to know, though I am sort-of hoping it was a poke at the back and forth of the presidential campaign.

Not decided.
