Obviously the game won't ever have VA, buuuut...
Re: Obviously the game won't ever have VA, buuuut...
Can't say having them all recite the game title ever occurred to me. Would be kinda goofy and spoil the tone if it happened.
I love the interpretation of Pac-Man where he's a just a lowly worker retrieving golf balls left all over the course by the rich masters and the ghosts are all previous workers who got conked on the head and killed by incoming golf balls in the line of duty.

It would be kind of off in the darker chapters, but I think part of the reason I had the idea was because the loading music was so cutesy. Maybe when the story gets sadder, the music could become more somber, and the voices would stop appearing. And maybe after Act 1, only the girl you picked, (or in Shizune's case, Misha) would say the title.Potato wrote:Can't say having them all recite the game title ever occurred to me.

That, or the voices just get increasingly depressed.

Re: Obviously the game won't ever have VA, buuuut...
Oh man, that'd be dark... I like it though. Especially if, on the last screen before a bad ending, it was just Hisao's voice sounding lost, but right before a good ending, it was him AND the girl he was with sounding really happy together.Potato wrote:That, or the voices just get increasingly depressed.

Too far? Yeah, too far.
But Hanako and Rin have neutral ends, they'd need extra voice bits unless it would just count as bad ones...

There are credits, aren't there?
What if after Hanako's bad end, there's a door slam and throughout the credits rolling the only sound is her crying from behind a door.

Good Ends: Hisao and [whichever girl] are heard happily chiming "Katawa Shoujo!~" over the credits.
Bad Ends:
Rin: Credits are accompanied by sounds of a TV news report about a student's demise, starved in a tiny room above an art studio. The remainder of the credits is the sound of Nomiya encouraging a new art prodigy at Yamaku and restarting the cycle.
Lilly: Credits are accompanied by the sounds of a crashing plane. The remainder of the credits is the sound of eulogy and weeping as at a funeral.
Emi: Credits are accompanied all the way through by the sounds of sobbing and whispered pleas for her father as Emi suffers more nightmares alone.
Hanako: Credits are accompanied by a door slam. The remainder of the credits is the sound of her crying and stuttering from behind the door.
Shizune: Credits are accompanied by the metallic noise of a fence breaking, a whooshing as of wind rushing past a falling object, then a sickening splat and crunch of flesh and bone. The remainder of the credits is the sound of police investigation.

So what happy-end stuff could happen during the credits? Every one just cutely reciting the title lacks personalization.

Re: Obviously the game won't ever have VA, buuuut...
Well, I really liked the transitions between chapters where it showed Hisao and girl just kind of doing happy stuff together. The part where he gives Emi a boost on his shoulders is still one of my favorite images. Maybe they could have some still shots of character specific fun things, like running or chess or tea drinking or whatever, accompanied by cute, snuggly sounding conversation playing over it, ending in a heartfelt, clearly genuine, "I love you" of sorts.Potato wrote:I honestly agree for once.

Nothing that wouldn't interfere in some way with the author's chosen conclusion to each arc.Potato wrote: So what happy-end stuff could happen during the credits?
Re: Obviously the game won't ever have VA, buuuut...
Really? I mean, Emi's at least ended with her being all "the adventure continues" so I'm sure they could show the two love birds doing fun stuff together without contradicting anything that was massively implied anyway.metalangel wrote:Nothing that wouldn't interfere in some way with the author's chosen conclusion to each arc.Potato wrote: So what happy-end stuff could happen during the credits?
