Its a lingering sad feeling from it all being over. Just like graduation is suppose to be.
Thanks everyone, you did great.

Thank you.

The emptiness is an odd thing, something that will come back to haunt you during your darker hours. You can only try to fill it with something new to try and prevent its return.

I wish you luck on your future endeavours.

Thank you Four leaf studios, It's kinda sad that the journey of KS is over, We still have it, and the memories it's given us, the blog too. But It's time to start a new journey isn't it? For you guys and for the ones you've touched in such a magical way with Katawa Shoujo. Thank you for everything guys, Can't wait to see what happens next!

Would Hanako be comfortable with a couple of hundred of eyepairs on her?

I'd like nothing less.

I thought there was going to be an add-in of 60+ ways of dying in a single route.

A very pleasant writeup. Interesting idea to compare the 4LS situation with a graduation ceremony, and the post evokes a beautiful mental image.

As everyone else already said, thanks for making Katawa Shoujo! The most fascinating part about the project for me is the creation process; I am impressed with how a ragtag band of internet strangers delivered a piece of work with such exceptional quality and actually carried it all the way to the finish line. A shining example of hobby game development, the finished result of which even managed to touch a whole lot of people emotionally as well as introduce many to the VN medium. I'm happy that this has played out so well for you.

Stay with us in the IRC!

My postcount is low, but I've been following along and lurking since 2009. The events that led you here seem impossible. Not just unlikely, impossible. You took a once in a lifetime internet lark and turned it into Katawa Shoujo.

You kept a team together over time and geography with reasonable turnover. You went from no experience and low experience to where you are now. You created and endured for years.


Take a low bow, all of you.


Bravo.

Maybe Shizune would hold the valedictorian's speech, that sounds like something we would do. I've been to quite a few graduations, and I think speeches are the most important part. A good orator can grip the audience and really move them, while a poor one will make the long ceremonies feel like torture. I wonder if Shizune's speech would be good.

"WAHAHA~! I'm way better than this autotune mixer of yours, Shicchan!," Misha yells from the first row. Good ol' Misha.

Great metaphor, I'd like to say. However, the truth is that there isn't one Hisao. There's thousands of Hisao.

Well damn, I think I'll go for a simple thank you this time instead of in the last thread.

Thank you. So much.

No Kenji route? I am disappoint.

[Akazukin]
