Re: Genderbender: Katawa Shonen

For lack of anything better to do today, I decided to join in the genderswapping. Not the best, but turned out ok. If I stop being lazy, I might add color at some point.

Re: Katawa Shoujo Will be Released on January 4th, 2012

Well done and congratulations. You have done what was once thought impossible, or at least inconceivable. Lets hope that this marks the beginning of western independent creativity and not the zenith.

Re: Katawa Shoujo Artbook at Comiket 81

I have posted a defense for the position of the ragers and complainers elsewhere on the forums already, so, for the sake of educated discussion and reason, I shall take up the defense of the Dev team. Was this a completely good idea? Maybe not entirely, from a purely logical point of view. Like any ...

Re: Can't we all just be friends?

The anonymity and lack of practical retaliation in the internet means that most people turn off their self restraint. That said, the frustration has to be understood. Fans of most any series will like and want any kind of exclusive extra material. Fans of japanese anime, games, and other such things...

Re: Getting People into Katawa Shoujo

Although I haven't described the game as cripple porn game to get adepts :P I think you are missing on the value of the shock impact as a selling tacnique. I have recommending extremely good manga to my friends and most times than not they won't give thhem a try because they have their own reading ...

Re: How'd you find yourself here?

Though I'm not sure exactly on the details, as it was quite a traumatizing experience, I believe what happened was I was inside of an extremely dark cave, surrounded 24/7 by a soft and gooey roundish structure (it was really claustrophobic). Out of nowhere, I randomly decided that enough was enough...

Hanako: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOhSqgXOWog I see Hanako sitting, reading, in the library to this. Rin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC310ePiG-4 Seems about right....

Re: Getting People into Katawa Shoujo

Well, I actually still do that (certainly more often than the one time I did before). It mostly requires knowing who I'm selling it to now, though. Some people apparently like that description (even if they balk at the "porn" part, I usually explain what a visual novel is beforehand, so i...

Re: Genderbender: Katawa Shonen

Uh...male Hanako looks like a lot of male shoujo characters. I don't think Chinman is what the artist was going for. There is a very vague resemblance though, i guess....

Re: Getting People into Katawa Shoujo

This thread must have helped considerably, as I've had far better success introducing people to the demo since before. ((Though I've also asked more people than before, and my success can be attributed to the shotgun approach.)) It might also have been that your original selling point of "crip...

Re: Genderbender: Katawa Shonen

I had kind of imagined male Hanako as being fairly effeminate and girly. Still, very impressive. Now I want to start drawing this. If only finals weren't coming up....

Re: Is there a middle ground?

I apologize if I sounded stand off-ish. My intention was simply to inform. I used to think that lip reading, even if it was imperfect, might be a viable means of communication or understanding a conversation (I assumed this mostly after a batman episode I saw as a child, where he used lip reading re...

Re: Is there a middle ground?

But by reading lips, even if 1/3 you can't distinguish perfectly what it is you still can narrow down to a smaller range of possibilities. That associated with context I think would be enough for a good undertandment. Not that I'm saying that it is easy. But people read lips in Portuguese and in En...
