Oh, so it was you who wrote Rin path? Cool. I mean - it's the most unusual path of them all.

So... did you plan Rin to be autistic from the beginning or just wanted to make her weird and she just ended up acting autistic?
Is she diagnosed with anything? Aside from acting autistic she also does show signs of Asperger's syndrome.
But considering she's an artist and knowing my few weird artist friends I'm not sure about anything when artists are involved

Honestly can't remember

So there will be no digital release?

There might, but don't count on that. Dangerous is a bit of a special case in our artbook series.

Rin has been diagnosed for just about every possible mental disorder by internet armchair psychologists. I'm not gonna give any kind of straight answer to this sort of question ever. She is what she is.

How so?

Also, I did see that one of the pictures was by a 4LS member.

Also, I saw that twitter post from VCR:
"So I'm a bit slow but I just learned the theme for the KS artbook was "tasteful erotica"
Would've been nice to know before I drew Hanako taking a dildo in both holes man, I would've drawn something a lot more mild"
Uhhhh How the hell did that happen?

Dangerous was mostly weee's solo project (there's only her artwork and a few guest pieces) so it's up to her whether she wants to make a digital release or not. There was just a failure in communication between VCR and weee that resulted in the rather humorously off tone guest art.

That's pretty fascinating; I've seen convincing arguments that Rin's story is one of her pursuing Hisao (in her own inscrutable way) — and somewhat bumbling it as a good protagonist should.

6. There is a bad end.

VINDICATION! I hate that people have accepted that it's only neutral. To me, it's one of the more heartbreaking things in the game.

Question: What are the (approximate?) ages of Akira, Yuuko, Nurse, Mutou, Meiko, Jigoro, Nomiya, Sae, and Shopkeep?

Both of those are interpretation things, and anyone's interpretation is valid as long as it's plausible.

Akira: mid-twenties
Yuuko: early twenties
Mutou: late forties
Meiko: forties
Jigoro: fifties
Nomiya: late fifties
Nurse: Older than he looks
Sae: ■■■■■■■■
Shopkeep: ∞

Which artist was responsible for Kenji's sprites? I have a feeling it was Raide, but I want to be sure.

gebyy

is moekki still alive and well?

[i stopped catching up at page 170 or so, no annihilation pls]

Yea.

How big is Hisao's dick?

Here are two questions, kinda.

Were you ever close to changing KS with a patch? I know TheHiveMind have said, on many occasions, that if he could he would go back and remove the lube.

I figured since you updated the game with new subtitles every now and then, were you ever tempted to go in and change things be it just some dialogue?

No. Never even crossed my mind. There's nothing in KS that's so fundamentally awful that it would require changing the content, and so many small to medium problems that fixing them all would require overhauling massive portions of the story, and fixing just one or two would mean nothing, especially after the fact.

I don't remember if this has been asked or not but, what made you settle on Hisao having a heart condition as his disability? Was there other disabilitys that made it close to the final concept of Hisao that are worth mentioning and why did you pick arrhythmia over them?

If my hazy memories are correct, it is because his condition had to be bad, but not so bad that he couldn't be running around living a mostly normal life (meaning anything that involved too much medical treatment was out (in the early days when this stuff was determined nobody really had enough medical knowledge that something more complex than "take these pills and you'll probably be fine" was out of the question 'cause we didn't want to be horribly inaccurate)--plus, the idea was he had to be sent into the situation because of an Event, and heart attack is as good as any. We also wanted him to be outwardly normal in appearance, except for the scarring from the surgery to facilitate player identification (even though that was not a massive concern as the project evolved).

At least I think that's mostly why. The other devs can add in their own hazy recollections.
