Katawa Shoujo mentioned in gaming magasin

[Guest]

Well thats great news.

Ahem...

Ｉｎ　ｓｈｏｒｔ，　ｉｔ　ｓａｙｓ　ｔｈａｔ　a game produced by a 2chan styled board, known as 4chan, has created a game with crippled heroines. That chapter 1 was released, using a japanese eroge system.
The rest just goes on to say about that moot TIMES thing...

Ugh, Forgot to log in...I really am hopeless at forums.

So has 2chan started reaming the game yet?

Also, congrats devs! Gaijin power!

[SnigendePind]

Yea, one guy said he wanted to put his head on Misha's tummy.

Heh, nice to hear about that article in the japanese magazine but untill western media picks up on KS I don't imagine anything dramatic will happen. Personaly, I'm of the opinion that it would be best for KS to stay "under the radar" so to speak of the western media untill complete. I seriously doubt the ability of most "talking heads" to get anything right about KS. Give the devs a chance to do their work in peace.

I really want to see their reaction once they get to play the demo.

Might bring up the chances of somebody making a japanese translation.

Is anyone else bothered by how they make it look like the game is legit, in the sense that is being done by professionals?

Yes.
I hereby ask that all future articles written on use use Comic Sans for the text and re-draw all the art assets with Crayon.

"Foreign Otaku are very strong"? XD Nice.

Actually that's a reference to the Time thing where 4chan rigged the "most influential person" thing.

The text is pretty banal (and too blurry to read in some parts).

A quick "Shut everyone up TL":

"The foreign equivalent of 2chan, 4chan, are workign on an eroge in which all the girls are disabled.
The game, 'Katawa Shoujo' is planned to be a totally free game, but they have released a preview called 'Act 1', which is made in the style of Japanese Eroge."

The Yellow text is the Japanese text from our website.
The big red text basically says "Offical Release of Katawa Shoujo" and the small subtitle at the top is the standard "All the Girls Are Disabled" tag

So Devs, does this get you anymore pumped up about releasing the full game? lol

I doubt western media will get onto anything like this. It's not exactly the kind of story most would be into. Stories are meant to sell, they wouldn't make an article on something that a majority of their readers may not find interest in. Even when the game is complete, I don't think you have anything to worry about. At least not any official wide-spread magazine talking about it.

Hmmm, did word pass around that much of it being a "4chan made" thing?
Why do people relate the project to 4chan as a whole, as if it was a collaborative project that we all got in on. It's like how 1 person makes something awesome and posts it anonymously then everyone takes credit for it.

I think we are used to the publicity by this point. Less people are going to be affected by that article than the people who've read the hundreds of blog posts and forum threads. But sure, of course it's neat to be in print media, even if it's in the "weird shit" section. KS is an amazingly big thing.
