I see. Thanks. Placed in alphabetical order, each path progresses further into the school year and a bunch of things like that. It's a weird coincidence. You are right, you're on the dev team. I'm making too much of a bunch of coincidences and I guess I'd feel better if someone else had noticed that all of these details were coming together just so? Oh well whatever.

One more question and I'll stop being achingly pretentious all over your ask thread.

For the writer of the Shizune path (A22, right?); is the way that Misha treats her parfaits supposed to refer to how she deals with her emotions, allowing them to melt all together and bleed into other parts of her life? Was it meant to contrast with Shizune's specifically described ability to compartmentalize her emotions?
If so, I thought it was a brilliant image and I can really relate to it.
Hanako's favorite joke is The Aristocrats, but she never tells it because Lilly finds it really offensive. Instead, she practices her delivery in front of a mirror when she's alone. It's the only time she never stammers.

Hello, I'm putting together a paper on Internet social behavior and would love to ask some questions to the developers. Is this the only method that questions are being accepted? I would prefer to talk over Skype, over a phone, or at least an IM, but if this forum is preferable I will just post some of my questions.

Edit: No longer relevant.

aagghh.... I read some of those phrases. But the 720p "HD" cinematics in youtube confuses me - so i thought there's a "solution".

I want high resolution pics in the library, unfortunately i can get only 800x600, too small for my psp wallpaper...

thanks guys. awwwww

PM the devcs that you are intesreste in talking toand take it from there.

I would say the IRC channel will be the most effective method.

Meanwhile, the Yamaku library apparently sorts books by color. Must be confusing for Lilly...

For what I did, I used Sibelius. If you dig deep enough, I posted a screenshot a long time ago. Sequencing and fancy stuff was done in FL Studio (or at least, I pretended to as best as I could back then).

Names.

How did you get to naming the characters (main cast at least)?

I can't believe nobody asked you that already, but I can't find it using search.

It just hit me, while looking for some Eimee Mullins references how her first name sounds like Emi's. Am I even close with that one? What about the other names :?:

Not an answer about Emi, but about some other characters:

The names were all decided by polls and insults. I think Emi's name was a pretty unanimous decision, not a lot of scrapping for it.

The Eimee Mullins thing? Completely a coincidence, as far as I know.

Um...this might be too far, but has the dev-team considered putting in possible yaoi paths?

This has been stated so often that I think I'll get away with answering this one:

No.
It was always planned to do exactly the five paths from Raita's original sketch.
Emi > Misha > Hanako > Lilly > Rin > Shizune
