There's nothing reliable, unfortunately.Xaviour wrote:Is there any count of downloads for the full version of the game?
Seeing as how the game virtually exploded everywhere on the internet, the downloads should reflect that.
Yes and no. We did not attempt to get any stylistic consistency (because all of us were still sort of learning to write), but since we talked a lot and did a ton of thoughtwork together, the paths are not completely incoherent.GamerJM wrote:I have to say, I think for a VN with five writers, the story in this was amazingly coherent. Sure, the writing style varied, but as a whole I think the themes came together well to form one cohesive story fairly well. DId you guys really put a lot of effort into working with each other? Some of the blog posts make it sound like you were kind of doing your own thing for a lot of the project and I dunno, something about that just seems kinda hard to believe.

You guys obviously went to great lengths to depict the characters as human beings rather than fairytale stereotypes, even going so far as to throw Hisao's own white knight complex back in his face. But could the game have avoided becoming a cliche-fest if the Japanese had produced it, even with similar non-commercial intentions?
Soundtrack is an exception. Consider a movie, they almost always release their soundtracks too, but never their raw special effects files or editing program project files.Omnicretus wrote:I'm going to make this short, since I'm not 100% certain it hasn't been answered.
Will any of the visual art be available through download or similar?
ps. I'm asking because I noticed a question similar where Aura replied that none of the game assets will be released, and yet, here I am with the Katawa Shoujo Enigmatic Box of Sound, which, if I may add, I am enjoying to an unbelievable extend.

LewaKal wrote:Hey there, devs. I wanted to thank you all for such a great game. I decided to share KS with a few of my friends, and we all absolutely loved it. It served as a great way to bring us together, even though we live an ocean apart from each other. Anyway, onto my question:
My friends and I are graduating this semester, and in celebration we would love to visit Japan. Suriko mentioned that Aura and Crud have been to Japan, so I was wondering if either of you were willing to share any tips for somebody who has never left the US before. Any bit of info would be awesome. Also, could you share links to any helpful websites and resources?
I have always found that a good place to start looking for answers is from those with experience! Thanks in advance for any help you can give us on the subject!
While I clearly understand the message, I just can't help feeling like this is nothing like a movie at all, when it comes to copyright and what not. This is (unbelievably) a free to download game. While I understand there may be some copyright infringement, I don't see why that means that certain backgrounds in the game, like the ones in the end of every good ending, can't be released for the public since so much else has already been released, like the already released wallpapers, so I'd be happy if you could clarify that.Aura wrote:Soundtrack is an exception.

"Free" doesn't mean "open source". We could release everything in the game if we wanted to; we don't want to.Omnicretus wrote:While I clearly understand the message, I just can't help feeling like this is nothing like a movie at all, when it comes to copyright and what not.

Ah, okay then, then I wont push it any further and say thanks for taking time to answer my questionSilentcook wrote:"Free" doesn't mean "open source". We could release everything in the game if we wanted to; we don't want to.
This seems to have slipped my memory. What was the error?Zoram wrote:
