The Music of Katawa Shoujo

[Steinherz]

Wasn't there a VN in the works about a school for people with mental conditions?

Mentaru Shoujo, or as it's now called, Missing Stars. I know one of the writers for it.

Any information on what's been going on with it?

I'm not privy to the innermost workings of the group. What I've heard is merely in passing from a few members of the original project who left due to creative differences, as well as one of the writers. I try not to pry too much.

I believe the most appropriate term for it is "Development Hell". That being said I'll be interested to see whatever it is they produce, if anything. I wouldn't count on it being soon, though.

Seeing as KS itself was five years in the making or something like that, I don't think 'soon' would be on anyone's list of expectations either way. The forum seems relatively (to KS' heyday) tepid, activity-wise, and it looks like a dev or two made the mistake of trying to produce other projects alongside MS which couldn't possibly bode well...Much like my initial curiosity with KS, I just wanna see how they handle the disability angle. One of the girls looks like Hannibal...

Personally, I try not to get my hopes up until the project is either almost completed or the team produces a demo the scope of KS' Act 1 demo. (which shows that they don't just know how to write/draw/compose/script but also know how to work as a team)

In general, if 20 projects like KS get started, expect all but one to fail or end up on hold indefinitely. Projects like KS are the exception, rather than the rule.

I saw the mask thing too. I was like "this both worries me, and slightly arouses me."

I saw the mask thing too. I was like "this both worries me, and slightly arouses me."

Hrm. You worry me…

I have a slight thing for bondage, what? Is that so wrong? XD
Shizune does as well

[Atario]

Ah, well that's slightly less worrying than what I thought, which was that you found the idea of Hannibal Lecter slightly arousing.

No, Mr. Lecter is not arousing, but a hot girl wearing that type of mask is very much evocative of bondage.

You had that thought too? That worries me.

I constantly find myself humming 'Aria de l'Etoile'. A very simple theme, but simply amazing.

[NordicBerry]

For me, Rainbows and Puddles is just amazing... I cannot be sad or mad when i listen to it, it soothes me into this relaxation state.
But the music overall is just really really good and i enjoy listening to the soundtrack for hours no matter what i am doing at that moment

[SpunkySix]

The music was really good. I have so much of an emotional attachment to "Standing Tall".

[SomeGuy]

Time for some forum contribution because reasons.

I like all the 'Oh fuck son' tracks. Knowing that, shouldn't be hard to guess that my favourites are Breathlessly, Cold Iron, Moment of Decision, Painful History and Shadow of the Truth.
Basically, all the 'ouch, right in the heart' (seewhatIdidthere) tracks.
I don't know why I do these things to myself.

It's also pretty amazing how associating a track with a certain part of a story gives it such a strong connection to the relevant feels. I like it, even though this is nothing new, of course.

I have a confession to make.
During my playthrough of KS a year and a half ago, I didn't really give the music the credit it deserves.
I either play the game muted, played music of my own over it, or just didn't pay attention.
I've decided to download the music box thingy to my phone, and I will go on a journey to right some wrongs.
Wish me luck!
