Ask!

I'm not 100% sure, that's why I said "iirc". I wasn't developing the project Molly is from and don't think I have any of its design files.

But let me just say that most of these characters were never actually discussed during game development and any sort of fanon folk wisdom about them, including that picture, is dubious at the very least. It was pretty flippantly made up by Suriko, with barely any consultation with anyone else. I'm not trying to undermine your fan wiki or Suriko's picture, it's surely fine to treat these as canon since there's nothing to contradict it and likely never will be. Just understand that with a few exceptions, I could change all of those names and descriptions arbitrarily and the new picture would be as informative and correct as this one. Also, if there ever was a situation where we'd definitely need to publish definitive information of the 3-3 class, I'd have the entire CG redrawn with new designs and characters in it worked out by multiple staff writers. Delta's blog post about how we approach extranarrative information is an evergreen treatment of the topic.

Only if we had made some actual development on the characters in 3-3's classroom CG and codified what they are inside the KS's story itself, you could say that there's information that can be "correct" or "wrong" in that picture. For a couple of the characters that did happen, but for example Suzu is a complete blank for me despite being very popular in the fandom.

There's a good counterargument to this, which some might agree with. Namely, that since Suriko made the picture and made these decisions, they are canon and right by virtue of being decided by him. Or that since the information has entered popular consciousness, it's too late/unnecessary to change it. Choose to believe whatever you want, it's fine either way.

Copyright/etc question here. Were I to use Blue123's transcription of the Sarabande for music box for an actual music box, would that be permissible, so long as it was not for resale?

As long as you're not selling it then yes, of course it's ok.

Hey guys! I really admire NicolArmafi's work and Ive been wondering that for the 3rd anniversary of Katawa Shoujo, that I release the original OST that was in the early versions, aptly titled
"Ephemeral Box of Sound". Obviously its free and I even gave proper credit, so is that all right?

[Silentcook]

The OST has long been available for download here. So I'm confused about what you mean by "release". Could you clarify further?

So yeah, Im talking about the Act 1 versions of the songs. Also its awesome that he released the super early songs that he made before 2008, maybe I should include those.

I would really prefer if you didn't. The main reasons being that, for one, we never actually released the original Act 1 tracks. Any files you could find of the original Act 1 music would have been ripped from the game by someone not from 4ls, which goes against the game license. I'm also personally not happy with the quality of the original Act 1 music, which is why I rewrote most of it in the first place. I'd rather just have the most correct version of the music out there. Third, if there was going to be any release of music I've written I would like to be in charge of it, and I'm sure any of the other composers represented on the Act 1 OST would feel the same (and I haven't really heard from any of them).

So while I appreciate the gesture, please do not take it upon yourself to release mine or any other 4ls music. If I see fit to do so I will work something out with the rest of the team and come up with an official release in the future.

Nicol, who is that in your avatar? Been meaning to ask for the longest time…

[Aura]

I can answer that. It's Nicol himself, a crop of a group pic of 4LS.

Hmm, is it private or can it be found on shimmie or somewhere else?

[Aura]

Sure, it was accompanying a blog post some years ago.

Wow, nice.

Hmm, is this based on real life or is it just made for fun?

Well, of course you know the next question: which figures represent which people?

You know, now that I look at it... Why is there an astronaut and who chose him?

I believe, from left to right, the characters represent Crud, Hivemind, Yujovi, climatic, Silentcook, Suriko, Kagami, VCR, Delta, Aura, A22, me, raemz, moekki, kamifish, Raide, and finally pimmy. Take it with a grain of salt.
