Is it just me, or would episodic releases be much better? Yes, releasing it when it's done does have its benefits, but we would most likely wait until mid to late 2011.

They have other things like eating, sleeping, family, friends and work that kind of get in the way of constant updates. For more minor sort of one line sort of updates look into their twitter. I think there is (or was) a link on the dev blog page.

They say the same about drinking, but booze still seems to be popular (or maybe "poplar" instead)...Csihar wrote:It's pretty much just a chat room, but be warned that you will lose brain cells if you spend extended periods of time there.ContinualNaba wrote:The hell is an irc channel?

Well neumanproductions, I guess we were both somewhat right and somewhat wrong in our predictions of the acts. Your prediction was right for the Hanako route, with the getting to know her better in act 2, learning about how her disability has hindered her in act 3 (I refer to the breakdown she had), and H-scenes and final confession in act 4. However, the part about how her disability came to be happened in act 2.Tahtorak wrote:4 acts? Really? Logically, that means that Hanako and Lilly's storylines are halfway done (according to the recent blog post). Unfortunately, I cannot say this with full confidence. After all, "In every experiment, in every scenario, there is the factor of chance. The unpredictable -- the variant or mutation for which you cannot prepare. That hiccup on the quantum level that throws everything off..." In other words, there's always chaos throwing things off.neumanproductions wrote:Well, when I recently asked of the KatawaShoujo, I don't know who runs under that name, on the blog I was confirmed that there will be 4 acts in total for all of the main characters.
My speculation involves:
Act 1 = picking the path to follow
Act 2 = getting to know them better
Act 3 = Learning about how their disability has hindered them or came to be
Act 4 = H-scenes and final confession
I think that is pretty sound reasoning from what I have found thus far and what I see from your wordcount estimates Suriko, is that one of these acts might be highly centered around text; probably #2 with #3 being somewhat short or more event based.
Sorry, if this isn't the correct thread for this but I thought I would put it out there.
BTW, Based on my personal experience with virtual novels, this is my prediction on the acts:
Act 1 will be the same as neumanproductions said
Act 2 will be "getting to know them better" + "Learning about how their disability has hindered them or came to be" + confession + maybe an H-scene
Act 3 will be progress of the relationship + H-scenes
Act 4 will include some kind of crazy event with a dramatic conclusion + H-scenes + a look at where the relationship will take the characters in the future
But like I said, there's always chaos throwing things off.
