Re: Your First Playthrough

Well, to her, sounds have no meaning since she cant hear them. Thus, she probably never thinks to use sounds as a means of expressing anything. In situations of great duress or fervor, she may (unintentionally) make a sound or something. In normal, everyday, actions she wont use sounds, though, sinc...

Re: Your First Playthrough

That's a pity, but there at least has to be an instinct, yes? If, by instinct, you mean that she can make noise, then yes. She should have the ability to make indistinct noise. If you mean an instinct to speak language, then no. Speech is a learned behavior and if she has never heard it before, she...

Re: Misha's disabillity?

I didnt read the whole thread since it was a bit long, so this might have been proposed already. I would hazard a guess that Misha's disability is a hearing impediment. This would explain why she is oblivious to her volume control (she has dificulty hearing herself otherwise). It would also explain...

Re: Your First Playthrough

I dont think its ever mentioned that she is mute. Most likely, if she was born deaf, she simply cannot speak because she has never heard sound. Even for people who became deaf as babies, learning to speak is very difficult.

Re: Prevalence of other girls in the paths

Simple answer: wait and see.

Practically speaking, shizune, misha, kenji, and rin are more likely to show up if you dont go for their paths. Shizune and Misha are because they are part of your class. Kenji, since you are his neighbor. Rin, because its in her nature to drift randomly.

Re: Two Favorite Girls

I do believe I see someone using my name. Anyways, I chose Shizune and Hanako. I related to hanako the most since I am rather quiet and I like to spend my time alone or with a few close friends rather than mix in with a large crowd. I'm not as deathly shy though. Shizune, on the other hand, I liked ...

Re: KS game art

We certainly have gotten off topic. Does no one else have comments about the game art, music, effects, etc?

Re: KS game art

Make no mistake, I believe that we all share your feelings to a greater or lesser extent. After all, we all care about this project enough to frequent its forums. If an anime was ever created, I am sure each one of us would desire it to be as close to the original spirit of KS as possible. Alas, the...

Re: KS game art

Neuman, I understand where you are coming from, wanting the creators and fans to have control over the *hypothetical* anime's design direction as opposed to the studio. Realistically however, on the off chance that KS is ever picked up to be an anime, the devs have very little bargaining power and I...

Re: KS game art

The content of the game will dictate who is a fan of it, not the other way around. You're just encouraging catering to a select few with that mentality, and not letting the game attract who it would attract by itself. Agreed. Its not really our place to tell the devs to do anything. KS is a dictato...

Re: Your First Playthrough

I guess the difference is that while you have to make a ton of correct choices early on to get on the HL path or the Shizune path, the choices are mostly pretty obvious. A good point indeed. The choices that lead to Rin's path are definitely less intuitive than the others. I guess that it suits her...

Re: KS game art

He doesnt look much older to me. Perhaps the problem is with the profile view he is shown in for the tea scene. Now that I examine that cg again though, Hisao seems a bit smaller than Lilly. I am aware that he is sitting a little bit farther away than lilly is (to accommodate Hanako later) but the f...

Re: Your First Playthrough

Thats a good point. I never really thought about it, but I guess it is easy to get suck on the Emi route.

Its interesting that, if you go for Emi, you do not have opportunities to approach Rin whereas you can go towards Lilly and Hanako at the same time basically till the end.

Re: A blog post was deleted.

Presumably, if it was a joke then the other devs found it less than amusing. Else, if it was serious then they thought it was inappropriate and/or slightly worrying.
