Katawa Shoujo Forums

This is probably one of the weirder questions I've asked, but why does Katawa Shoujo's interface use this color scheme?



I feel like it's meant to evoke something, but I'm not really clear on what exactly that's supposed to be. Graphite on wood?

i don't know if this is the right place to ask, but i don't know where else, i'm curious as to why hideaki was made to look somewhat like a clown, with that outfit seeing how he is a guy and all, star stockings, hair ribbon, some kinda neck ribbon, anyway nothing a guy would wear i guess, any particular reason behind him being so different then the other characters?

I would like to know that too.

On the topic of Rin's arm-stubs. We only ever see them during her final H-scene; whereas with Emi, for example, we see her leg-stubs at a few different times, including outside of H-scenes. Even Rin's "nude" sprites have her draped in a shirt. Was there any conscious (or subconscious?) decision to minimize showing them? If so, why?

Because we let the artists design him.

Why, when Emi's REALLY mad at you, does it just look like she's giving you a sly smile? It really took me out of it when she blew up at Hisao and she just gives him that sly, playful look. (EDIT: Although I really liked the Emi route )

No.

How did Misha(Shizune?) knew what Hisao was thinking in "Smalltalk" (Act 1, day 2)?

God magic?

The main title screen plays the song Wiosna, which in Polish means 'Spring'. Was that because Hisao has his heart attack during the Winter and he joins Yamaku in the Spring?

No. I named it in homage to this.

Since Hanako's theme is the only one that doesn't play during regular conversation with her, what song from the KS track would you assign her as her "passive" theme?

I know this is an odd question, but has there been any mention of when yamaku was founded?

I don't know how they were used in the final product but the two themes I wrote for Hanako were Painful History and Raindrops and Puddles. I'd assume Raindrops and Puddles is what's used for casual conversation.

Are all characters right-handed ?

We never decided anyone's handedness. All I remember is that Rin is ambidextrous (because kamifish drew her using different feet for dexterity tasks in different images, not because anyone decided she was).
