1) There was no specific inspiration
2) Probably just fine. They're Japanese kids so they'd respect my seniority.
3) For some reason, we always had the worst/most ridiculous/useless development discussions on Sundays, which became an informal tradition called "Shit Idea Sundays". Those tended to result in quite a few laughs.

I'm not 100% sure.

Sorry if this has already been asked but 200+ pages is a lot to go through...

What was the decision making by only having 1 thoroughly involved teacher (Mutou)?
And if you count the art teacher, then 2 i guess

There just wasn't any need for more characters.

The character set was mostly defined when we had no artists, and since a new character required a lot of art we had long, long discussions about how many characters we really needed.

Even when we had an art team, there was so much work to do that we really had to prove that adding a character would improve the story.

I think it is a good thing, as without that restriction you can easily spin out of control and add far too many characters

You just mentioned that you didn't have an art team at the beggining, and this came to me. How did you... recruit a team? Did you simply asked people you knew? Or used 4chan/some kind of forum?

We had some artists from the original forums, but for one reason or another they all quit.


Recruitment was haphazard; we had a forum on this page for recruitment where anyone could volunteer, and we posted a lot on 4chan and the like to get people to come here.

I think Weee/Ramez did a write-up about it on her blog, and I'm pretty sure Aura put info about the process into the 4LS blog as well...

I read in that forum that you were cursed and all the artists working on your projects ended up spending time in the hospital at one point or another. Did you ever break that curse, or are all of your artists still doomed to suffer a hospital visit at some during the job? :P
