Is the shimmie down again?
or are the forums just glitching out?

From what I can gather:

Class 3-2 is the blind/partially-sighted class that Lilly and Kenji are in.
Class 3-3 has Hisao, Shizune, Misha, Hanako and all the minor characters like Miki.
Class 3-4 has Emi and Rin.

Is there a class 3-1? Is it mentioned anywhere in the story?

There is, but I don't think it's mentioned anywhere instory. 3-1 is a class for deaf students. All their lessons are in sign language. Shizune has elected to attend a "mixed" class.

Question to Suriko: What's Lilly's favorite tea? I don't know if it's mentioned in the game, but I really want to know. My birthday party was held at a restaurant, and when the waitress came with a box filled with various teas I couldn't help but wonder. ^^

French vanilla tea.

First off I would like to thank all of the devs for this amazing feelarama.

I have two questions for whomever they may concern.

1) Where did you get the idea for Hisao's character and condition?

2) Are there any secret routes? Like getting with Akira for example.

1) We wanted the main character to explore the setting at the same time as the reader, so we wanted a character who is new to his disability and to Yamaku. Thus, it would be either an accident-caused or previously unknown condition. We chose the latter, and a heart condition was pretty convenient plus nicely symbolic. For Hisao's character we just went with a kind of a "standard" route of him reacting to a sudden life-altering event with depression and such.
2) No.

Is 3-4 just for students with missing limbs or is it just coincidence that both Emi and Rin are in that class? I'm guessing there's no class 3-5 or anything?

Also, somewhere in the story I believe it is mentioned that Hisao does not have to attend Physical Education classes?

I understand his condition is fairly serious in that he could die if he over exerts himself or gets hit in the chest but in a school designed for disabled students, surely the Physical Education lessons would be tailored to various disabilities of the students?
I can appreciate if some of the students with things like narcolepsy or blindness are completely unable to participate, but wouldn't the Nurse be encouraging Hisao to do some light exercise like running?

And is it ever mentioned what he does while everyone else is doing Physical Education?

Another question:

Have any of the writers for KS worked on other projects after this release? If so can you name any please?

Yes, most of us have. And no, they're not public. Well, except Hivemind wrote a bit about his comic idea on his blog.

3-4 is a non-specialized class just like Hisao's 3-3. Physical education in Yamaku is a complicated matter that's not really touched in KS at all. In short, yes it's personal to everyone, ranging from personal physiotherapy to more "normal" group classes for students whose disabilities don't affect their physical condition (such as all the deaf students). The latter kind is the one Hisao doesn't have to attend, obviously.

Sorry for bugging you guys with my questions.

1) Do you allow any mods into this game?

[Bello Jack]

I don't know if this has been asked yet... But are you going to sell merchandise?

[ewx]

Do we know who originally occupied the seat Hisao occupies in class 3-3?

And what caused them to leave? Illness? Transfer? Death?

[Aura]

Reading the FAQ helps...

Do you allow any mods into this game?

3. You may not alter the game, nor make your own derivative work that builds on it. Specifically, we have a dislike for reverse engineering the game to extract the music, art or scripts, which is in breach of this license.

But are you going to sell merchandise?

Q: I saw this game for sale. Are you selling this now?
A: No. Four Leaf Studios is not charging for Katawa Shoujo, and never will. If you see anyone selling Katawa Shoujo, charging for "official" merchandise, or using game assets in their for-sale items, please report them. Selling fanworks that do not use official content (including the KS logo) and do not pretend to be official is okay.

Do we know who originally occupied the seat Hisao occupies in class 3-3?

No.

Even if you think you know the answer to some question, don't answer it. Misinformation has a tendency to stick around, and the point of this thread is to clarify things, not muddle them up further.

You sure have a really short memory
