It has made me depressed, because I will now forever be associated with lemon-scented lube.

Well... It's not that bad... sort of

Yep, change your name, move out of town and try to hide from that one scene.

Would it be possibleto get a sticky post somewhere with links to other works from the 4LS team? Or possibly other projects that they are working on apart from 4LS?

I wouldn't say bored, but I certainly sometimes got sick of going over the script over and over throughout the development.

The blog frontpage has links to our two other VNs, I'll consider putting some sort of consolidated "follow 4LS devs" thing somewhere, though we kind of dislike stalkers (as we call our fans <3 )

Wasn't it lemon-flavored?

Yes.

Actually it might've been both.

...er, Hivemind, was there any particular reason for you choosing lemons, specifically?

You'll have to ask Silentcook. I didn't ever say it was lemon, m'self.

Ah, well then.

Well, if you insist on knowing...

Originally Hive had written the Infamous Lube as K-Y jelly. It was not a good idea to have that in KS since it would have invoked a brand name, which is something to be avoided if at all possible, plus a probable reality check failure.

Therefore, the change to the innocuously-generic "personal lubricant". But I found that a little lacking. By itself it was, well... boring. What to do?

Enter the "what the Hell, why not" moment.

I wasn't inspired by that link, I had known of the implications of the word for a long time. The rest, as they say, is history.

So. . . who was the artist for that infamous scene, and how do they feel about "Emi's anal face" going memetic?

Really?

Man I completely was unaware of this. WE ALL LEARNED SOMETHING NEW TODAY, GUYS.

I always thought Lemon is a reference to the Lemon party.

Though, is there any reference you think most people missed? Or any interesting easter eggs?

Asking the devs to point out easter eggs kind of ruins the purpose of easter eggs.
