Katawa Shoujo Forums

Okay. Absolutely random question & out of pure curiosity, so i'm sure no one's asked.

Which one of you guys(all the devs) knows martial arts?

A little bit of everything: Dillinger Four, Decemberists, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, the Slackers, Jawbreaker (Emi's bad end was written while listening to Sluttering (May 4th), because at the time it perfectly matched the mood. Not so sure I'd still say that's the case, but it worked at the time), the Hold Steady, Kanye West, Outkast, P.O.S, Atmosphere, Jay Z, Big Boi, MF Doom, Ghostface Killa, Raekwon, I guess just the whole Wu Tang Clan, Groove Armada when I feel like remembering old car commercials, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Aphex Twin, Frightened Rabbit, the Weakerthans, Drive By Truckers, Monster Magnet, Nirvana because of course Nirvana I was a child of the 90s, um... other bands?

These days I have been exploring hip-hop ("these days" meaning like the past couple years), because it is a thing I never paid enough attention to as a youth. In between bouts of just blaring all the Joyce Manor tracks I can get my hands on because it is great sloppy dancing punk rock, of course.

We all have a pink belt in Wing Tsun and Wing Dere.

Hey, I've got a couple questions.
1st, what's the name of the software that u used to make Katawa Shoujo, (you don't have to answer it if you don't want to) because I really like how this Visual Novel was created and the artwork, etc.

2nd, I read somewhere that you guys might be making a Katawa Shoujo 3 (and skipping Katawa Shoujo 2 for a various reasons). If that is true, when will that be released for everyone to download and play on here?

Thank you for your time ^_^
Katawa Shoujo is my favorite visual novel!

1) If you mean the engine running KS, that's Ren'py, but we used dozens of different programs for KS, each specialized for a different thing. Here are some of the main ones:

Text: Openoffice, Word, various notepad software
Art: Photoshop, Paint Tool SAI, 3ds Max, Blender, Illustrator
Video: After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Handbrake
Audio: FL Studio, Finale, Audacity
Éngineering: Ren'py, NSIS, Wine, VMWare, DMGCanvas
Workflow: Redmine, SubVersion, Trac

2) You fell for an April Fools joke.

What's Naomi's natural hair color?

Okay, you've piqued my interest. I don't recall any 3D in KS. What did you use modelling software for?

The movies. Also, the background of the classroom CG.

So if Naomi is bald. And is a moe-ified version/author avatar of Delta. Does that mean Delta is bald?

Translation: We never decided for ourselves.

I did some work with Google Sketchup for a number of the CG backgrounds. Shizune student council room, Emi dorm room, and the Rin art classroom off the top of my head.

This can probably be answered by non-dev, but can you list which dev wrote which KS route, including manly picnic and act 1? And if there's such post and it was already answered, please guide me to it.

Act 1 was mostly me and A22, but all the writers participated in writing it. The bad ending scene in it is by A22.

Emi: Hivemind
Hanako: crud and Suriko
Lilly: Suriko
Rin: Aura
Shizune: A22

Thank you.
