Some Old Guy wrote:I'm not too sure if this is the place to ask this (or if even if it's been asked already; sorry, I tried to read most of this thread, and failed spectacularly), but what books did the devs read during KS? Or maybe a personal fave? I grabbed some of Murakami's books due to crud name dropping him a few times, and really liked them (Norwegian Wood blew my mind, and I'm just about to finish A Wild Sheep Chase).

:oops: *Sighs* And yeah, KS got me reading again.

Thanks, for reminding me about books, making a great game, and possibly answering this question.

Most of the stuff i was reading you already know then. To be honest, when I need to fill a gap of something that is slightly trivial, I really just look for something nearby.

But, like Suriko, recently I have only really read non-fiction, as well as 1Q84 and The Tale of Genji

In non-fiction, apart from business books, I've recently read "Going Clear" and "Slavery Inc."

Lilly's is mentioned ingame. Winter.

Fantasy and sci-fi. Mainly escapism-oriented fiction. And whatever Crud was think of at the time besides. He basically set her reading habits rather than me.

Yuuko's focus of study and references she drops are the result of my dorking about with history.

Is there a recording (if it was audio) or a screenshot (if it was text) of cpl_crud and Suriko having a shouting contest over some detail of Hanako's personality or story? :twisted:

Kidding, ofc - that is, I assume (from the way you all still frequent the same forum) that there was no in-team fighting beyond the expected amount for any dev team?

Hey there. This question is for ANY dev or representative of 4LS at all. I come from the KS channel on a website called funnyjunk. We are a very...I'd say close knit group in all. However, recently we've split into subgroups, who all interact, play games, perform projects, and generally have a good time. I am here on bahalf of a particular sub-group called the "Shizune Alliance." We're basically a group of folks that took lessons from the Shizune route, and choose to at least try to live every day with passion for the things that we do.

My question! We made sweatshirts for our group, and ONLY our group. We used original art, and we wont be making any money off of them, however, the website we used to make them will. We wanted to clear it with you before we went ahead and ordered them. Would it be okay if we had a bit of Shizune Alliance gear to pal around in?

Yes, yes you can. Personal use + original art = good.

Hi, I was just wondering when Akira Satou's birthday was.
This is a fancy sentence.

What's the purpose with the group "Team Blobster"? :lol:

On a more serious note, is Kenji older or younger than Hisao? :)

Whose idea was it to give Misha this ridiculous shirt?
<KeiichiO>: "I wonder what Misha's WAHAHA's sound like with a cock stuffed down her throat..."
<Ascension>: "I laughed, cried, vomited in my mouth a little, and even had time for marshmallows afterwards. Well played, Xanatos. Well played."
<KeiichiO>: "That's a beautiful response to chocolate."

Not decided.
<Aura> would you squeeze a warm PVC bottle between your thighs and call it "manaka-chan"
<Suriko> I would do it if it wouldn't be so hard to explain to my parents

Team Blobster was a VN development group whose forum was a subforum here (because delta was in it). Their project died.

Kenji's birthday date is undecided so we don't know.

If you haven't decided can I choose a date?

Crud and I got along well, and there was no real drama between us with regards to Hanako path.

In general, project drama never really got beyond what one might expect from an informal group stuck together for 4-5 years, and most still keep in contact with each other.

I don't think anyone should care if you pick an arbitrary date for fanfic needs or for eating cake with a pic of her or whatever it is for.
