We thought about having Saki in KS for a little while. Like, a day or two.

I think I understand why you didn't do it, because like you wouldn't have a second person for her.

What second person? Anyway we ditched idea because it was ultimately an unnecessary subplot.

All of the main characters have a second person by their side. Like Rin and Emi, Hanako and Lilly, and Shizune and Misha.

She was never considered for a main character.

Yet another question. Sorry if I'm bothering you guys with my constant stream of them. But anywho: who drew the artwork for Emi? Like the facial features and such.

At the risk of this being a silly question: Are the CGs in Hanako's route (which i consider the best ones i've seen in the VN so far) done by one particular artist, or were they done by the art team in general?

Does Rin prefer her right foot or her left when doing things, or is she ambidextrous?
Also how does she put her clothes back on after the first H-scene, is she a wizard?

Moekki drew her sprite set and Pimmy the CGs.

Weee drew them but the colouring is split among a couple artists.

She has a dominant foot, iirc the right.

People with no hands can and do dress up themselves. They are not helpless at all.

That makes sense, though I always assumed that Hisao helped her out, personally. Being a H-scene he's clearly seen her fully or partially naked, after all, so it wouldn't be much of an issue xD

Apologies if this has already been answered in the thread so far, but is there a canon 'date' for the fire that scarred Hanako? And how does such a date tie in with her birthday? I ask only because I've had people discussing it in the thread for a Hanako POV retelling I've been writing, and some (myself not included) seem to think the fire may have happened on or around Hanako's birthday, but it's never really mentioned in the game...

I've never really thought about the date much, beyond the fact that it waswhen she was about 6.

I also had images of her being thrown out into the snow, which would make it about 6 months away from her summer birthday.

The reason her birthday factors in so heavily is that it is usually a time for a reflection on the past; something that isn't all that pleasant for Hanako.

Varies, but at the very least the writer always checks that everything is okay. We all are competent enough to acceptably emulate each others' characters, but sometimes we asked for help from others. Kenji and Rin were traditionally the most challenging to "other" writers.

What about scenes that appear in two different paths (I'm thinking of the track meet scene, Emi at her Emiest, laurel branch and all that)? In that scene, Rin has most of the dialogue, so I could see you writing it, but the scene is arguablely more important for Emi (especially his internal monologues while watching her run, which defines her character as much as any scene). Was it fully collaborative, or more one person writing it with the other person saying what needs to be accomplished for his/her storyline?

Most of Rin's dialog in the track meet was written by me, then tweaked by Aura. We started with just the one version and then added the differences (it's been a while so I don't remember what all the differences are). I'd say it was probably the most the two of us collaborated during the process in that this went beyond just checking each other's dialog.

Then again my memory is for shit so it could have gone completely differently.

When Rin was trying to masturbate what was she using?
