Not sure if this has already been asked, But might have, Considering there's 100+ pages in this thread.
But anyways, Not 4LS as a whole, But you, Are you planning on working on anything else in the future? Are you still staying in touch with the other members are talking about any other ideas? (VN or anything else)

Yes and yes (That is, yes I am working on something else, and yes, I stay in touch with the other members).

Yes and yes (That is, yes I am working on something else, and yes, I stay in touch with the other members).
If its not too much to ask, Is it being along with some of the other members? And will it be another VN?

I don't mean to be vague, as this is aimed a all the writers in general, but I'm curious as th where much of the inspiration for the stories for each character came from. I'm aware RAITA outlined the characters, but a lot of the stories seem quite original, and if I may say so, quite touching. I'm wondering if any or you could share your thoughts and or inspiration for certain when writing.

Thank you again.

I was blown away by the quality of this Story, the detail in each story, the long interactions between each character and so on, i've even had my good Emi ending, which, I am 100 % satisfied to getting ( thought she was crazy). I must say I felt like I was Hisao.
Taking the chance of these having already been asked, though I cannot find them, here they go.

Chances of doing a whole different novel based story?
If yes, are you already working on it?
ETA ?

Suggestion
More sideline stories
More endings
Keep the amazing attention to detail in the interactions
More choices ( Beware though, this could easily turn badly).


That said after experiencing this game, I have high regards for the team.
One thing I would like to stress, I believe strongly that a good choice was made about not giving too much detail to the sex scenes more than it is needed to convey the emotional depth with the characters ( if you work on another project keeping the sex scenes to a minimum appears to be the right choice as it takes away from the story).

I strongly believe that for the next story the game should be sold for a small fee, in that way you can get a bigger team to work on the project thus giving us a better experience.

How do you feel about people making tulpas about characters you've written?

Can't really speak for others than myself, but in my head the only thing I really identify as inspiration is RAITA's picture. Inspiration is often subconscious, or something very clearly relatable to the end result. I didn't have that kind of experience with writing KS. It was more just lots of hard work and keeping my eyes on target.

You get my standard answer to a question about future projects. If we make one, we will announce it when we decide to announce it.

I didn't even know what a tulpa was before this week when there was a thread about it here. It doesn't move me one way or another who your imaginary friend is. So, indifferent.

Do you like where the forum community is going? It seems to change around a lot when it comes to how it interacts and such. Hell, it seems completely different from when I joined a few months back let alone 2 years ago when it was probably mostly the dev team and people helping out.

I would also like to add that from a bigger team "a better experience" does not necessarily follow. In fact, I'm fairly sure that a bigger team would have spelled the death of KS.
Shattering your dreams since '94. I also fought COVID in '20 and '21, and all I got was this lousy forum sig.

The fandom community is not for me, it's for the fans themselves so I don't really have an opinion on that. I don't even read the forums much at all, nor do I have a particularly clear picture of where the community is going. There's a lot of circling around the same old topics I guess, which is sort of boring, but also something to be expected? It doesn't bother me though, talk about what you like.

Still baffles me how honest you are sometimes, Aura. So used to sugarcoated answers from devs.

On an unrelated note, are there any VNs in development right now you are looking forward too? Can't seem to find any myself.

Hanako's route is alot shorter Timeline-wise compared to Lilly's. Due to them being somewhat intertwined, Shouldn't they both go to the same point in time? Is there a reason why Hanako's route was shorter?
