What would you have done if you made the game?

[Munchenhausen]

I'd have made Rin an interpretive dancer, most likely. You don't need arms to dance, and that stuff can be tough to understand sometimes. So she'd be an artist, just a different kind.

I can just imagine her prancing around her room and making random noises in a black turtleneck and falling to her knees infront of Hisao, waiting a review of her dance rendition of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Yeah, basically that. I also think I'd have made Hanako a swimmer. Not just for the water vs. fire thing, but because she's really shy, and she'd have to deal with being in a swim suit and exposing herself, which could be cute/interesting.

Was it originally a 'porn with plot' ala Games of Thrones...?

Considering that Game of Thrones isn't that, highly unlikely.

@Munch: The shimmie giveth. Praise the shimmie.

Rin as a dancer...Because she's not enough of a pain to interpret.

There's just this...

What's with the 'page 72' at the bottom? Was this supposed to be a page from some kind of pretend Visual Novel magazine? If that's the case, pretty neat! Quite authentic looking.

Based on that page alone, I would probably have signed up for Hanako because I love reading and writing about complicated, traumatized, emotionally damaged characters. My version probably would have explored the weeds of Hanako's history and psychology in greater detail, since I'm a rather detail-oriented writer (not that I have a history of being an active writer, and whenever I do write I typically do so purely for myself without showing it to anyone).

I'll quote Know Your Meme here:

The idea for the game stemmed from a bonus page of a hentai doujinshi[4] based on the manga Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind,[5] titled Schuppen Harnische.[6] The doujinshi was released in 2000 by a member of the Zettai Shoujo circle named RAITA. One of these pages included designs and preliminary ideas for a visual novel set in a disabled school.

One word: Wetsuit.
Actually, on the subject of swimming, I probably would have thrown a pool scene or two in. Maybe made one of the girls an avid swimmer. Probably Alt-Rin.

[Silentcook]

Yeah, well...

As a final desperation move we turned to our resident expert in lowest common denominator, climatic. He suggested we should do a fandisk for KS that amends the lack of certain "fundamentals" in the original game. This would be appealing to the widest audience. The concept involved things like a beach event, a pool event, a hot springs event, Shanghai turned into a maid cafe, catgirls, doggirls, foxgirls, bunnygirls, sheepgirls, a cute but a bit tsundere little sister character, a perverted otaku best friend character, a stalker character, a harem ending, a harem ending, a harem ending, a haunted house, inexplicable superpowers, alternate dimensions, mecha battles, magical girls, zombies, fantasy MMORPGs and a clown.

Hold the fuck up now... A clown?
That's just crossing the line, right there. I can't take 4LS seriously anymore, I'm gone. Bye.

This reminds me, how is Katawa Shoujo 3 comin' along?

[Grimnir]

[...] a haunted house [...] and a clown.

Combine them into the ultimate bad ending. Everyone visists a haunted house and get killed off by a demon-clown potrayed by Tim Curry.

Indeed I have. It's filled with plot, and also happens to take place in an era full of whorehouses.


And if I made KS2, I'd combine the clown with the harem ending...

[Atario]

...Now I kinda wanna read this. Link?

http://ks.renai.us/viewtopic.php?f=52&t ... 670#p41670

A kinda weird Rin fic, a kinda weird Emi fic, Shizune BDSM, that fucked up Hanako thing, and a one-liner that goes well beyond BDSM with Lilly.

Never again will I automatically think of fanfic writers as "below" the devs.

[Munchenhausen]

I've got mental images of Hanako being bukkaked by seven clowns, all laughing goofily and spraying silly string out of their dicks, to the glorious sound of the Sabre Dance.
And Hanako loves every last moment

Sex is a HUGE part of life, and Game of Thrones is a fairly realistic rendition of life. Of course there's going to be sex scenes in mass, especially with all the whorehouses abroad. Sex happening in the show doesn't make it porn.
