It was a while sense I played KS but if I remember correctly, some paths seemed longer/shorter than others in terms of when they take place in the year. During what months does the game take place and is it the same for all the girls?

Also, happy birthday TheHivemind!

Most of the story happens between June and August.

Does the story continue along Lillys path, (they go on a trip to her house etc, with some changes), after Hanakos good ending?

You're asking a meaningless question. You've played up to that point, you've seen the credits roll and you've been sent back to the title screen. You know perfectly well that the story doesn't continue past that, as we didn't make it continue past that.

Not counting the original "Core team" of four people, there were about 28-30 people all told.

If you count the really early development (pre-4LS), the amount of contributors is in the hundreds due to how KS began, as an open project from 4chan's /a/ board. But after 4LS was formed, off the top of my head, in addition to the 21 people in the credits there's 8 other people I can remember that were part of the project at some point so crud's number is very accurate.

Lilly's route is rather unique in the sense that rather than having some scenes exclusive to the "bad" route, the "good route" simply cuts off before Hisao has his change of heart rather than branching off into the bad route/bad ending. Were such bad-end exclusive scenes ever considered and then scrapped or was it always meant to be the way it is?

It was always meant to be the way it is. If you go back enough, you'll eventually find scrapped scenes nearly everywhere, but if you go back enough you're really looking at a story that's completely different from the one you're reading now.

8 people involved that aren't in the credits? Why did they get left out?

For the ones I can remember, it's because they either a) produced no material, or b) because they produced no usable material. There were, for example, a handful of artists and musicians early on who only made roughs or concept art which are in no way reflected in the final product.
