What would you recommend for communication on a project of this scale? Skype, IRC, email, forums? A combination of those? Second, how much did musicians, authors, and artists give feedback to the people in the other areas? How did you make sure that you didn't fall behind or slow down? Did you set ...

Well... I wasn't extremely surprised by the Kenji end, because I'd looked up KS on Wikipedia. It mentioned that Hisao dies abruptly if he doesn't pursue any of the girls. Still, I'd expected there to be more bad endings involving Hisao's death. That said, I thought it kinda went against the general ...

...When you take up writing again and realize that everything you write is now in present-progressive. I didn't even notice it until the third day when I tried reconciling it with something I'd written previously. The tense change caught me by surprise: normally I hate using present-progressive ...

Hm. Depends on the path... With Emi, I'd probably get the good ending, not much doubt about that. With Shizune, the good ending's pretty obvious. Lilly's good ending would also be easy for me. Hanako's ending would probably be bad. I don't know, though. The choices were my own but the following ...

I went for Hanako's route first but wound up in Emi's. I'm glad of that, though; I think Emi's path was the best to start on, a nice, solid introduction to the game.

Akira and Meiko I get, since one's a working woman in her mid-twenties who's already in a committed relationship and the other one's a widow at least 20 years Hisao's senior, but what is it that makes Natsume a more unlikely option that Rika or Saki. The latter ones aren't in Hisao's class, but ...

I hadn't realized how much the music got to me until I'd returned to KS after a break. Wiosna started playing on the title screen and I was just overwhelmed. In the story there were a few: First for Hanako there were two, the good ending and the bad ending. Good ending moved me, bad ending woke me ...

That's a hard question because it all depends on the execution. Several people mentioned this already so I won't go into detail, but the biggest problem is this: how are you going to relay the "choose your own path" feeling of the original? Another problem would be Hisao. His personality was pretty ...

Misha and Miki, hands down.

But why didn't you include Rika and Saki? I think they're a much more likely option than Natsume, Akira, or Meiko.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for writing this. I'll be honest: this route is one of my favorites, even among the canon routes. Certainly better than Emi's, Rin's, or Shizune's routes, in my opinion. I created an account just to say this. I'm impressed with the amount of research you've done. Your ...
