Is it possible to transfer the save states of your original slots in the game? (Like transfering to another PC and installing Katawa Shoujo)

The game's save data is located in "C:\Users\<Account Name>\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\katawashoujo_actual". So if you copy that folder to your new machine, all your save states should be intact.

Also, Is there a Girl in one of your staffs?

Here's a dev blog post giving some info on all (or most?) of the developers. Moekki, kamifish, Pimmy, and Weee are female. I believe they all worked as artists.

Much thanks to you Mirrormoon!

How many marriage proposals they receive daily since KS was released?

How old is Shizune?

How old is Shizune?

Shizune's birthday is May 6th, according to her bio.

Hisao comes to Yamaku sometime in June, so her birthday would have already passed during the year in which the game is set.

According to Wikipedia, 3rd-year high school students in Japan are 17-18 years old.

Thus, Shizune is 18.

I've just managed to find and play through the old Grid1 version recently. I realize that it was a very rough draft, but I had a few questions about some thing that appeared there and not in he later versions.

1. The order you meet the girls in seems to vary depending on what actions you take and there seemed to be an emphasis on where everything is in the school in relation to each other, in addition to a mention of maps. Was the original game intended to be less linear or would it have become more linear again after act 1 was over?

2. There seemed to be a lot of talk about the history of the school itself. Was this meant to play any important part or was it just background information?

3. Hanako seemed to like high places in this version. What was the intention behind that and why was it dropped?

1. Well, there really is no "original" game since we only produced this one, but the very earliest incarnations of Grid1 had behind them the idea of building a binary tree. That is, one path splitting, again and again, until an end was reached.

Needless to say, the amount of work behind such an idea would have MURDERED us, so we unsurprisingly abandoned it.


3. She was supposed to have taken up climbing as a hobby since early childhood (and be a physically strong girl, too). We changed our mind.

This is going to sound very weird, but why "Wiosna" have it's name?
The reason why I'm asking this is because in my native language "Wiosna" means "Spring".I wondered if someone from Poland composed it.
Sorry if it sounded silly, I'm just curious

A few questions to the artists of KS in general about their work.

When drawing a character what proportions would you use for drawing the face and the head?

I am absolutely horrible when it comes to drawing original hairstyles... any tips?

What were the most difficult things for you to draw?

How long does it usually take for you to draw a profile view of a character?

Nicol is a big fan of Chopin (and Chopin was Polish, of course). That's what I'm guessing.

Katawa Shoujo is not entirely in English. There are a few words from other languages sprinkled here and there, and before we made a few ruthless cuts, there were even more.
Wiosna is indeed a Polish word, but the track has been composed by Nicol, who is Canadian.

I just need to ask about the animation - how did you do it? And maybe you can help me with a certain problem...Do you know any good swf to any video file converter that doesn't have a huge watermark/shitty quality after converting ruining it? I need it for my animation project.
