Re: Ask!
Question to any of the writers. Though I understand that your free time was mainly working on the project, as a writer myself must know; During development, or whilst planning out or writing scenes, did you ever get any ideas or inspiration for stories not related to KS?

Are you sure that was leaked art and not something from the trailers?Merlyn_LeRoy wrote:How did some of the art from the final game get out early (you could spot some of it on /a/, for example)? Was it deliberate?

Re: Ask!
I list here and here some observations I made while playing through the Emi route which I think indicate that Emi was intended to be the "natural" route that players go through first. I also point out some of the negative consequences that Emi's Act 1 presentation had on her reception up until release.
What are the thoughts of the development team on these points?

Lead artist at the time wanted to design a new uniform. After he quit we reverted back to RAITA's design.scott1and wrote:Why did you change the original uniforms from the coloured RAITA design to the Grid1 green uniforms and then back again with further releases?

Re: Ask!
The design of Act 1 was that unless you chased after Hanako/Lilly/Shizune, you'd probably end up with Emi. It doesn't mean that we meant players to read it first, however. The stories are not dependent on each other, they can be read in any order.Caesius wrote:I list here and here some observations I made while playing through the Emi route which I think indicate that Emi was intended to be the "natural" route that players go through first.

There's a very obvious correlation between characters with big, emotional endings in Act 1 (Shizune, Rin) getting more popularity than ones without (Emi). In the full game it doesn't matter (and we obviously always worked with the full game in mind), but Emi fans and to a lesser extent, fans of Lilly and Hanako too were disappointed that their favourite characters didn't get as epic Act 1 ending as Shizune did.

Re: Ask!
Did you ever feel that you wrote said stuff because you wanted to get your mind of KS for a while? Or as an embellishment on your understanding of your characters or motives?Aura wrote:Sure, we thought up and even wrote plenty of other stuff.Nagatoyuuki wrote:Question to any of the writers.

Re: Ask!
There is, however, the issue of the letter from Iwanako. Someone who has read through one of the other routes before getting on Emi's is likely to have a very different reaction to Hisao throwing away the letter. Was this considered?Aura wrote:The design of Act 1 was that unless you chased after Hanako/Lilly/Shizune, you'd probably end up with Emi.

Re: Ask!
A question to Nichol, which BGM is each cutscene's piano arrangement based on? I know Shizune's is The Student Council, and Hanako's is Puddles and Raindrops, but I can't put my finger on Lilly's or Rin's. Another thing I'd like to know is if there's full versions of of these arrangements.

Re: Ask!
Oh yes. At least a dozen, including an H-scene or two (and I think the one I saw with Hisao and Lilly in the bathtub had more Godiva hair than the final version). My comments about them before release were deleted, and Aura doesn't appear too eager to open this can of worms.Mirage_GSM wrote:Are you sure that was leaked art and not something from the trailers?Merlyn_LeRoy wrote:How did some of the art from the final game get out early (you could spot some of it on /a/, for example)?
