Crud uses his real name pretty commonly in public contexts. The rest of us not so commonly.

Mostly they are not. At this time, that's how I prefer it.

Hey Aura! The rumored (I think it is at least) Katawa Shoujo II has gotten me to thinking, will the main character, or rather protagonist, still be Hisao, or will it be a new one? I hope for the latter, which is very likely. Who would be the routes if so? Would it be the time of Hisao (3rd year at the same time Hisao was there. That's in case you were confused by my poor explanation.) or would it be something else? I understand these were a lot of questions regarding this rumor, but the more the merrier, am I correct?

Anyways, give the team my thanks for such an amazing game if you would.

It's definitely been asked before, but I can't find it and I just have to know, so sorry in advance.

My native language is Hebrew (in which the vowels work relatively similar to Japanese), so pronouncing most of the names was really easy for me.
But there's one name whose proper pronounciation I just can't figure out on my own.
Hanako.
I know it's weird XD Seems like one of the names that are the easiest to pronounce...
I just can't figure out whether it's HA-nako or ha-NA-ko.
Help, someone :lol:
Also, "Katawa Shoujo" - I tend to pronounce it as KA-tawa Shoujo, is that correct or is it Ka-TA-wa?
As in, which part of the words is accentuated? (Sorry if that's the wrong term for this; that's the best I could get out of Google Translate :D)

If you happen to have a spare copy of the Midwinter artbook for sale, I'd be grateful if you let me know :D

Pronunciation.

Have a thorough look through the multiple links and threads.

Hi, I think 4LeafStudio members on several occasions mentioned that the visual novel "narcissu" was a big influence, and a favourite VN of some of the writers/team members.

How exactly would you say Narcissu influenced KS?

Read the chapter "7F" of Narcissu. Then read the first two scenes of KS.

I'm attempting to write a fan fiction(Hanako - Epilogue of sorts), but it follows the good ending of the Hanako route from Alpha. If we can't talk about Alpha does that mean I can't go after the Alpha ending for my fan fiction?
I'm just a rusty old goat and a poor writer by anyone's standards, so no need to take my advice to heart, and when you do, take a handful of salt with it.

The ban on talking about the Alpha only applies to the forums. The internet is your own dominion. We're not going to stop fansposting their own stuff on their own blogs etc..

I had planned on posting the fan fic in the fan fiction thread, seems like the best place to get views and feedback for a Katawa Shoujo fan fiction. If I want to post it on these forums, should I change it so that it follows the release route instead?

I honestly think that you'll be fine if you post it there. Just don't try discussing the alpha in this thread as if it were canon.

Sure, every artist is influenced by other artists they admire or whatever, and 4LS staff is no different. Specifically for KS, Tatsuki Amaduyu and his partner in crime, Misato Mitsumi were big influences.

New question!
If any of the devs (Such as you, Aura, or Suriko, etc.) Could write a different route, such as say... A Natsume route, who would it star? I personally would do a Naomi route.
