No clue. I imagine there will always be a group of die-hards popping in now and again... and whenever we announce something new I'm sure folk will show up here since we don't have an official 4ls forum beyond this one.

Did any of you work together IRL on this? Or was every single interaction via the internet?
Also, why do you hang around here instead of abandoning us like the savages we are? I imagine there's more than just moderation motivating you.

A few of us know each other in real life and occasionally worked physically together, but most don't. I live a thousand miles away from the closest dev to me so it'd be impractical.

It's more habitual than anything I think, plus there's the possibility of something popping up that needs our attention. I've built a habit of being somewhat outside-facing, because a vast majority of 4LS aren't.

How much money went into the production of the game?

Probably zero? They all volunteered into production.

I know that but what I'm asking is about the amount of money the devs put into the game.

As far as I know, none directly, but there have been a heap of volunteers that have paid for web hosting, domain names, and, of course, all of our time.

What is your opinion on the Hanako's Broken Hearts Club (HBHC) for short? Though I was never involved with it, I was here when it got started and now the thread is almost as gigantic as this Ask thread and spawned its own forums.

If you made a game that sold for money and was as good as this one I think you could make a lot of profit Couldn't you make another game even if it takes 10 years because you're doing other stuff and the game dev would be when you could?

GOD DAMN IT.

Silly Hivemind, we all know that people never read FAQ's nowadays.

Hey, did 4ls break up? I heard you guys broke up and hate each other and will never make anything again.

I read somewhere that the 4LS members gather at Mount Rushmore every year to hold an annual no-holds-barred orgy. Is that true?

No, I'm not being serious, and don't call me Shirley.

Okay, in keeping with the thread title, I'll ask an actual question (that isn't a joke); have the 4LS members ever considered meeting up someplace? In person, I mean. You spent years working on this game without ever meeting beyond forums and such, so I wonder if you've ever considered setting up a date to actually meet the people with whom you worked so diligently - if only to share a few bottles of whiskey, trade war stories, and maybe go on a pantie-raid at a local college.

It's pretty cool that something like KS is relevant on a mainstream gaming site such as gamefaqs. It's a showcase of the explosive popularity KS got upon release.

A few of us have met in what the kids these days refer to as IRL (but I will always refer to as 'meatspace'), but I am not one of them. We're kind of all over the world, and while I can't speak for the people who aren't me, it would be fucking expensive and I'm poor.

So unless we happen to run into one another at the local grocer's I kinda doubt it would never happen. If you'd like to give me a shitload of money to make it happen, I'll arrange something.
