Katawa Shoujo Forums

I honestly hope so. I don't know about trends in Japan, but I for one would love to see more VNs of the quality of Katawa Shoujo in the West. I don't really have any experience with other VNs (I learned about KS after playing Analogue: A Hate Story on Steam), but I wonder if KS has spoiled me for th...

I tend to agree with gRaViJa. I've only just finished the first week of the Couch to 5K with Emi program, so I'm not sure how it's going to be once I get further along, but for now I'm still kind of riding the KS high and it's easy for me to imagine Emi there with me as I run, encouraging me to keep...

I'm working on a Hanako pic right now, and I've been asking myself how I'm going to approach the scarring, as well. I'm tempted to do a Google image search on burn scars though I know the results will be unpleasant to say the least. I'm not sure I want to just mimic the way they look in the VN... In...

I really like the coloring and effects you did on her hair and her eye - those are quite nice!

Did you consciously decide to draw her without her scarring, or have you just not gotten to that stage yet?

Basically the feels are a powerful force -- if you harness them correctly then you can really make some profound changes in your life, things that maybe you did not think were possible for you before. So rather than try to forget about KS, try instead to grab it with both hands and use it to carry ...

I distinctly remember being with a bunch of friends in high school when the discussion turned to our parents having sex. "What, you can't imagine your mother crying out your father's name?" asked the girl who initiated the discussion. Well, now I can , I thought bitterly as I convulsed wit...

I don't know - I've kinda been facing a similar situation. I'm playing through Emi's path a second time now, but I'm finally getting to the point where I can stop thinking about KS non-stop all day long. But for the past week, that sadness at the realization that I finished KS and wouldn't be able t...

Emibros Oh, well... At least we're not calling ourself Emos. Up till now. :lol: What with all our talk of depression and angst on these forums, it might be appropriate were it not for our determination to make things better. Still, I'll resist the urge to dye my hair black. Just wanted to post and ...

ZXRN, ArazelEternal: It's a funny old world, innit? It continually amazes me how this game has gotten its players to open up about this stuff, but I'm glad for it. Mercutio: I hope you can deal with it - in fact, if you'll forgive being compared to an easily-intimidated girl, as Hisao said to Hanak...

Awesome - thanks! It's also fun to see what the other Emibros are listening to when they run. I might get some inspiration.

I never understood whats the big deal about nudity in any kind of media. Seriously. I think Metalangel covered a great deal of the reasons, and I don't necessarily disagree with inquisitivenegro ( Lilly in her cheongsam does a number on me, not to mention the fetish-worthy aspects of Emi's P.E. uni...

Well, I started the Couch to 5K program last night. I thought I was gonna have a non-cuteness-inspired HRRRNNNGGG, and my sides were well and truly aching in the second half of that twenty minutes, but I kept thinking of Emi and all of you guys and I'm glad to say I didn't give up. I also learned th...

When you look at the forum and half of the final posts on threads are under your name.

I've really gotta go do something else now...

Since visual novels are a pretty new thing to me, I haven't really been sure how to approach selling others on it. Doubly strange to mention it to my wife, given its romantic/erotic nature. It helps that we're both into video games and roleplaying games, and we both enjoy the romantic subplots of sa...

Really hard to say. All I can tell you is what I did and let you draw your own conclusions. Emi was my first path, and for the most part, I loved the experience. I'm about to play through it a second time after I finish my second go-through with Hanako, to remind myself of all the reasons I fell in ...
