Sorry it took so long, guys, but I've finally finished the article and I've submitted it to the site. It should only be a matter of time before it's live.

Thanks again, and sorry my questions were so scattered.

Okay, it's about time for me to wrap this up, I think.

My last question: Any funny stories from behind the scenes you'd like to share?

So then where did Yuuko's personality come from?

As a question to all the writers, did any characters you wrote for have any kind of basing on someone you know?

Alright. So, who composed Lily's theme? It's regarded as one of the best pieces done for the game.

Also, is there one person responsible for one character? Or is it closer to a team effort?

Right, which, of course, you want to avoid. Now, about Hanako. I'm a little confused as to why exactly she's attending this academy with just burn scars. Forgive me if I sound insensitive, but shouldn't she be able to... erm... function just fine despite them, or are they painful and limiting in a ...

I'm sure this question's been asked before on the forum, but is there any particular reason there isn't a Misha route?

Is there any particular reason Shizune plays Risk?

Alright, then, you asked for it...

About Misha and Shizune: where did the idea for their relationship come from? Had any research been done beforehand on similar situations?

Might anyone else remember? All the devs are free to answer whatever questions they'd like.

What about the music? Did the character's themes just work in their first versions, or did they have to be reworked more and more?

Were any of the current characters different in your original drafts?

Okay, moving on from the rating, were there any character concepts that got scrapped or reduced in role?

Huh. Alright then, would you say it deserves/will deserve that rating? Seems to me that this would be an M game, at most.

Okay then. My next question, then, would be about what ESRB rating you're going for here. Are we looking at Teen or something like Mature or Adults Only?

Erm, perhaps I should rephrase that for clarity.

Would turning off the h-scenes have any significant negative impact on the way the story moves? Or would it effectively be the same as the usual fade-to-black and make implications approach?
