Katawa Shoujo Forums

Been a while since I last checked here, I first checked if someone posed this question here, apparently it hasn't been yet.

Lately in some places (well, KSG especially), several people has grown convinced that, in earlier drafts, Nomiya was going to molest Rin in her path, but the idea got scrapped along with others, like Hanako getting pregnant. Some even treat this as fact despite no 4LS member having ever said anything about (contrarily to the aforementioned Hanako example).

So, can you confirm this, or debunk it?

Untrue. Nomiya, whatever his faults are, never was a molester.

Does Hanako suffer from Social Anxiety Disorder? My friend thinks so, however I found that she's not so scared about how other people perceive her (Hisao being an exception of course) as she is scared of other people full stop.

Did you ever decide which of Taro's limbs is paralysed? If so, which is it?

Is there any news on the progress of the translations for the entire game? I'm particularly interested in how the Chinese version is coming along.

I didn't even know he was paralysed. Most of the background characters' details are complete whimsy, often "decided" by someone for fun or whatever reason, without any discussion with anyone else. Some of them have gotten some traction and have become sort of canon, notably the names of 3-3 students, the friendship between natsume and naomi (and the subsequent yuri shipping), suzu's sleeping disorder and a few other things. As for the question, possibly, but no idea who made him paralysed.

We don't know ourselves, since the translation projects are not handled by us. Some of them have blogs and stuff though. Here's the Chinese one, but seems they haven't posted lately: http://www.ksblog.byethost3.com/blog/

I definitely lean more towards a social anxiety issue in her case.

Has the team developed a headcanon of sorts for any of the side characters, such as Suzu, Miki, or the April Fools characters? If so, could you share some of that with us?

First, one question to all: it seems that different people have worked on the sections dedicated to the different girls, and yet, Hisao has managed to retain the integrity of his character through all of these sections. Was there one person who specifically shaped Hisao's character or was it something you had to negotiate between yourselves along the process of making the game?

Hisao was a team effort between all the writers.

Who was it that first put Hisao in a sweater vest?

I guess some bits here and there, not likely to share.

Moekki

I played Hanako's route again and something really bugs me about the antique shop owner

The part where they were in town together when Lilly is un Scotland

Hisao seem to observe that the shop owner stares at her then turns away when he first sees her

And Hisao notices him open the curtain and looked at her when they left

Hisao is a little ticked at him thinking he's staring at her like a circus freak

But my over active imagination has him recognizing who she is

I know I'm wrong but whats his deal?

In one of the CGs in Hanako's route, specifically the one which depicts Hanako's empty seat in the classroom, why is it that the other three people in the shot (Naomi, Shizune and Takashi) have no eyes? Frankly, it's scaring the shit outta me.

Also, does it violate the copyright thingo for me to print out one single copy of my fic (personally, of course; no publishers or what-have-you), for sentimental reasons? I'd very much like to have it as a keepsake, so to speak. The reason I ask is that it is, effectively, a derivative work.
Cheers, BlackWaltz.

Why so much hate?
