The names were decided before 4LS and were some of the first actual decisions made for the project because priorities. It really wasn't any more or less difficult than any other decision, even with more people talking about them with somewhat less coordination. The deaf girls' name was initially Ros...

Someone called Celiest. She was with us for only a couple of months in 2007.

Was there ever any discussion on the tone the game has, or the theme? I know the game came originally from that famous sketch, but that only was a rough idea of the characters. KS takes some tropes common to anime and VNs and subverts them, putting the whole game into this "mature" and &q...

Kon22 wrote:While you were working on KS, how did the process go? I mean, did you get the art and the story done simultaneously, or made sure you had the story/scripts first?

Script drafting and sprites were worked on simultaneously, then rewriting/ editing simultaneously with event CG art. Lots of exceptions.

During Rin's route Hisao describes the book he's reading as being about "three guys drinking beer for two weeks straight and doing little else". I wonder what that is because I have not been able to find any information on what that book could be. Hey Aura, is it the Pussikaljaromaani by ...

Dunno. I don't care much for it.

HAHAHA!

I personally don't see A22 on the forums that much, does he prefer to stay in the shadows?

Just like most of 4LS.

And to get back on the topic of asking stuff, have any of the 4LS staff been contacted by people insisting Kenji's feminist conspiracy theory is real? Seems like a stupid question, but then again this is the internet, and in light of recent events... No. This is because people would be similarly cr...

I don't answer that question because it's intentionally left vague and I've not seen anyone get it right yet.

The diamond mine thing was in a design phase where Lilly's mother was South African herself, iirc. She went through a couple nationalities before Suriko settled on British. And to clarify the timeline, both Saki and Rika were created exclusively for April Fools. Later, I thought I'd want to explore ...

You should probably read the forum rules, but even with just common sense it should be pretty obvious that this is not a place where bringing that up is a good idea. We ban people for it even, since talking about it proliferates the thing. As for an opinion: it's a shitty and unfortunate thing to ha...

Have any of you got the link to Weee's profile on DeviantArt? Saw you guys mention the name hence was intrested if his/her stuff was just as good. Tried looking it up via the search-function on DA but got only pieces titled "weee" and pasting it in the address bar gave me the profile of a...

Off the top of my head I can count at least six 4LS members who either study or have a job with something related to what they did in project KS.

Here's my most recent reply to the oft-seen question about regretting or disliking KS: http://auramart.tumblr.com/post/93610597643/you-seem-to-not-really-like-ks-for-more-than-a-few Of course all of us have different perspectives on KS, but I've not ever seen anyone say they regret or resent working...

Thanks for the quick response! I figured you had smoked once or twice or were at least a casual smoker, since in the scene Hisao talks about how unhealthy it is, yet your description of what those first four or five cigarettes are like is very true to life. I didn't mean to ask whether or not you h...
