Ask!

Question for Suriko:

Is their any paticular reason, why of all the things you could have chosen for Lilly's Western ancestry, that you chose Scottish?

Hi devs, I having wondering about Misha's name for a long time. So her real name is Shiina Mikado but why does everyone call her Misha?

Why not make "Misha" her real name instead of a nick name since I don't recall her real name coming out in the VN?

It isn't really a real name, and after the fracas with "Iwanako" we didn't want to do it again.

"Misha" was also influenced by Hannibal Rising.

I just finished reading all the posts in this thread.

Aura, based on the notion that the character in your avatar is your moefication, I'm compelled to ask, are you female, or is she moe you genderbent?

Did Karla, Lilly's mother, make any actual visible appearances in the game at any point during development, or was she always going to be just that distant voice over the phone?

What couldn't the standard Renpy engine do that required modifications for KS?

I've said this before in several other threads, but I really like the sex scene between Hisao and Rin. I think Aura did an excellent job with that.
It was touching, romantic and sensual rather then outright sexual, which is what you come to expect from most eroges. That is why I'm asking: Do you have any more stuff like that Aura? Or are you planning/willing to write more? Maybe a short fanfic or something?

Well, sure I've written some other stuff than KS, but it's mostly fragments and short bits that I used to practice for KS, or stuff I wouldn't want to show to anyone. You can search the fanfic forum for the few rare bits that I posted there. Don't recall any of them having sex though, except this: http://ks.renai.us/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=1488 , which is also coincidentally the only non-KS text of mine.

Since the full release, have any Cons expressed interest in having any of the writers, artists, or editors and directors attend as part of panels etcetera? I know Suriko and someone else who slips my mind right now (Cpl_Crud?) did a panel at a Con in Australia. (Anyone have a link to the audio recording? I'm a lazy bastard.)
Do you figure you might have a higher profile now? Maybe demand bowls full of M&M's with all blue ones picked out like VN rock stars? :lol:
(VN rock stars! There is a new oxymoron.) :twisted:

Yeah at least I was invited to a convention (but declined). Don't know about the others.

Are Hanako's burns 2nd or 3rd degree? (that is, if they come in contact with something, does it feel painful or doesn't she feel anything at all with those parts of her body?)

Also, if a japanese translation would be finished, would you consider redoing Hanako's sex CG to hide the naughty bits instead of mosaïcing one pic out or is the "no private parts"-law there only an issue with VNs that are made and sold in Japan?

Some of Hanako's scars have no feel, but some have retained nerves.

Obviously we don't have to give a damn about Japanese legislature regarding censoring private parts.

Yes.

I think suriko was thinking at some point about having her family be more involved, but don't think any script was ever written about it.

1.) Are you guys planning more merchandise expansions for KS?

2.) Is it possible for 4LS to make a manga for KS?

[Guest]

I downloaded the soundtrack. Would you guys mind if I changed names to "4LS" or something, so they are all toegether instead of spread across my library ?

I'm back with another controversial question.
So we know that Hanako's H-scene was due to miscommunication and misunderstanding from both sides which was eventually resolved in the final scene of Act 4. Now, I'm a man devout of the Word of God (in this case the KSDevs) and so I wonder, with the lack of blood in her H-scene and implications of her past, was Hanako raped during her life BEFORE she met Hisao? Or is this just another type of those questions that is just as stupid as RIN IS AUTISTIC or EMI IS A SLUT?

This is directed towards all members of the team, seeing as each one deserved congratulations on their own right.

Has there been one particular fan whose comments, story, or congratulations affected you more than any other? A post in the forum, a comment on another site, an email, etc. I'm assuming that each writer's character eventually became very important to their respective creators, so i can imagine how personal the kudos might get.

In Rin's 3rd act, there is a chapter called "BADAAN!" What is that supposed to mean, or refer to?
