Like a different VN? KS is narrated by Hisao, you can't mirror the protagonist.

It wasn't her fault that she got Hisao's bad ending (how was she supposed to know that confessing outdoors in the snow would trigger his heart condition?).

Huh. Well I'd just like to say that I like the rather subtle detail that Hisao's narration changes depending on the route.
What if Hisao survived Kenji's manly picnic, told Kenji to fuck off and ended up spending his remaining time at Yamaku Academy alone? I'm asking this because the Act 1 Bad Ending got me interested in the premise of exploring Hisao himself as a character, and his downward spiral due to his own personal problems and insecurities after rejecting the people who've shown interest in him.

Re: Ask!
do the 4ls devs check their inboxes much?
Re: Ask!
I can't say I've really seen any of the devs other than SC (and myself, I guess, if you want to call me a dev) use the forums in a long time.
Whether it's a comedy or a tragedy, if there is cheering, the story will continue on.

Re: Ask!
So. Welcome to the Ask! thread, 2024 edition.
In preparation for a possible influx of questions following the soon-expected Steam release of Katawa Shoujo, as as general forums hygiene, I have pruned the thread to make it less monumental and more accessible to inquiring minds.
Gone are all the banter and non-dev answers from users. Left over are all the questions asked, no matter their value, and the developer answers. The same questions may have been asked over and over and over - duplicates most definitely happen.
Remember to read the first post at the start of this thread, and enjoy.

Re: Ask!
I'm not sure this is the appropriate thread to ask this in, but how come the 18+ scenes were removed in the upcoming Steam release, when Steam has allowed all content except illegal stuff on their platform for many years? Is it because some characters are technically minors in western countries? I'm just curious about the thought process since I've seen far "worse" being advertised on the Steam store main page, with no actions taken.

Yes, as far as I know.

Re: Ask!
Hey,
I have one question, which I don't think I've seen answered, and should have asked years ago:
Why do you think that KS had the effect on people that it did? Which elements and design decisions do you believe were the most crucial?

Re: Ask!
Not the slightest idea, since the response surprised us as much as anyone else. If I had to guess, I'd say that most of KS is forthright, and that was endearing at the basic level.

Sorry if this was already asked (I tried to check but I'm not entirely sure if I used the right keywords or not). What kind of music did the music team take inspiration from?
