Developer Diaries, chapter 9

A fanfic scene about an intimate moment between Lilly and her best friend has evoked quite a bit of discussion, enthusiasm and disgust lately. I wonder what kind of H-scenes will end up into the actual game, after all they are the most eagerly expected part. (On average that is, some people actually care for the plot more)
KS will be relatively light on porn, probably maybe. We ended up with an approach that tries to avoid the two common mistakes that games of this genre sometimes fall victim to; using the awful plot as a thinly veiled excuse to show dozens of H-scenes or slapping unrelated porn on top of otherwise perfectly good game. The reason is obvious: the H in KS is not going to be the critical original content, save maybe for some quirks related to the unique traits of the girls. Even so I'm relatively certain that someone, somewhere (probably in Japan) has already drawn/written whatever is going to happen in those scenes. Despite us being amateurs, we rather focus on the stories and the plot that just make massive amount of sex and fanservice and call it a game. Most H-scenes are forgettable anyway, a good story hopefully not so much.
Nevertheless, there will be both fanservice and H-scenes and when we get around to doing those, I think it'll be great fun. I believe most of the creative team is somewhat new to writing porn/drawing porn so we'll see what happens (Syu draw her first penis ever a few days ago, how cute. The fact that it was a futanari pic makes the occasion less happy though).
If we feel like venting steam after the game itself is done, we'll write fanservice scenes or convert scenes written by other people into game format and release an expansion pack.
