This question is directed at Suriko specifically:
What media inspired you while writing Lilly's arc? In other words, are there any similar stories/games that you would recommend?

I'd imagine the Twilight series would be a big one; Lilly and Bella are quite similar in characterization after allBreaker deGodot wrote:This question is directed at Suriko specifically:

I'm not sure if you're serious or if you are trolling, but please do not presume to answer questions like that in place of the people they were asked of.

Re: Ask!
A friend wanted me to ask are the skirts in the school uniforms pleated or gathered?
After reading this thread I find I don't have anything specific to ask as a lot has been answered. Would any of the KS crew mind sharing what they thought was the biggest or most annoying hardware/software hurdle during production? Maybe an art piece that was difficult, a section that went through multiple rewrites, code errors with hilarious side effects, the engine having a limitation you had to work around, anything like that which would make an interesting or educational story.
Thanks again for creating this.

Re: Ask!
It's difficult to pin down direct inspirations. As far as vaguely similar stuff goes... Turn Left, Turn Right is one I can think of off the top of my head. It's kind of a dorky movie, but it was one of the bigger influences and has some similar ideas.Breaker deGodot wrote:This question is directed at Suriko specifically:

As far as inspirations go (some of these only bear small amounts of input), I guess some of them are:
Movies:
The Color of Paradise
Turn Left, Turn Right
Les Choristes
Anime:
Mariasama ga Miteru
Honey and Clover
Haibane Renmei
Books:
The God of Small Things (Arundhati Roy)
The Prodigy (Hermann Hesse)

Re: Ask!
Any chance that Kenji has ties to Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper from Dr. Strangelove? I watched it again after finishing the last bit of KS to get to 100%, I thought that this is an adult Kenji, complete with conspiracy theories fueled by an unfortunate sexual experience.

Re: Ask!
So was Misha influenced at all by Kirari Shiino, of Kira Kira fame?
The resemblance is pretty uncanny. Pink hair, golden eyes. Shiino, Shiina... their names are nearly identical. Even their personalities are comparable.

They draw from similar character themes. There is a homage to the similarity in the game itself.ravenlord wrote:Any chance that Kenji has ties to Brigadier General Jack D.

No. Consider, Misha was developed before Kira Kira was even released in Japan.Mysterious Stranger wrote:So was Misha influenced at all by Kirari Shiino, of Kira Kira fame?

Re: Ask!
Ah, I see. Pardon, but that does give rise to another quick question - when exactly did the idea for Misha come up in development? Obviously she wasn't part of the original Raita sketch.Aura wrote:No. Consider, Misha was developed before Kira Kira was even released in Japan.Mysterious Stranger wrote:The resemblance is pretty uncanny.

Re: Ask!
Pretty early on--I'd say within the first month of serious development we had started talking about the need for a character who could serve as a translator since passing notes back and forth between you and Shizune seemed unnecessarily cumbersome.Mysterious Stranger wrote:Ah, I see.
