I absolutely love the soundtrack, and being a musician myself I enjoy playing it too. Would there be any way of acquiring a set of parts or score for pieces like Red Velvet?
There were two plans that eneded up never getting into the game. One was a sort of miniature path that branched off of Emi's (being in the track club and all), which focused on Miki as a heroine. The second was a wholly extra path accessed from the extras section where Miki was the PoV character rather than Hisao (and Hisao never really came into it). Neither made it into the game, for some reasons already given previously (and most of the arguments against a Misha path also apply).Mercutio wrote:first off, I gotta say thanks for this thread. took forever for me to read all of the devs' answers, but it's all really interesting stuff. thanks for the look into your collective heads.
and now, I've got a question about Miki, especially after reading this:someone (I'm sorry, I forget who) said that there were originally more Miki scenes planned. I'm curious about them. was she meant to kind of be Hanako's foil in her path? or was she always just another cool side character, and y'all decided to cut her scenes down for one reason or another? I'm mostly asking 'cause I found her pretty damn cool, and I'd like to know a little more about her. thanks.Aura wrote:Miki hits Suriko's fetish points (seriously). Also, the points she makes would've been hard to fit for some other characters.
Misha's a natural brunette. The confession scene had her hair illuminated by the sun (with artistic license taken).Hidan wrote:Looking back, I see that Misha has two different hair colors which are her actual hair colors. In Shizune's route when Misha confesses, we see a small shot of her past, and her hair looks obviously blond. However when Akira shows Hisao the photo from one of the previous carnivals, Misha's hairs is most definitely brunette. Which one is her real and accurate hair color?
Very definitely, yes. Pretty much all of the first drafts were done by the time Act 1 released.GamerJM wrote:I apologize if this has already been answered in the blog or something, but by the time the Act 1 demo released, did you guys have a rough idea where you were going with each character or not?
Almost impossible to say, honestly. A lot of stuff we went through with a harsh eye, although to be honest there's a lot of stuff that we considered problematic (or some of us considered problematic) which remained in the end because sometimes going back to fix or address a storytelling concern was too much work for too little of a payoff. I mean there were a few times where we'd go over a list of problems we had with a scenario and realize that basically, we just wanted to rewrite the whole damn thing and start over from scratch. But that only happened a few times.McBaggin wrote:Who was the most critical during the game's development?
interesting, and nothing like what I expected. would have played the hell out of either one, but yeah, I understand why neither one got into the game. thanks for the answer, Suriko.Suriko wrote:There were two plans that eneded up never getting into the game.

This thread has a ton of piano sheet music throughout, I'd suggest taking a look. Coincidentally I also uploaded the original score for Red Velvet for someone else in that thread, so you'll find it there.Guest wrote:I absolutely love the soundtrack, and being a musician myself I enjoy playing it too.

Actually, I can answer this one, I think. It's in one of the Lilly threads on this forums.Zig_Zac wrote:Hi Suriko,
Firstly, I have to say you did an awesome job with Lily's story, and Hanako's seems to be just as good, since I'm still playing it now. Amazing piece of work with the writing, you are brilliant.
I have to ask though, in Lilly's route, when they met Kenji outside and when he fell, he took Lilly down with him. When he got up, why was she so angry and pounded the ground and yell dammit? I didn't get that part when it happened. Sorry, I may be a little slow and not get it, but it doesn't seem like her to lose it over something so small. I don't know if it had to do with her blindness, but I didn't think it did. If you could clear this up for it, it would be greatly appreciated.
Once again, awesome story. I wish all of you would write more, such amazing talent.
