My first question is "What are you guys planning to do after making such a successful game?"
Secondly, did you have any characters that were scratched before the full game was released? If so, what was their importance or role?
As for the second question, Aura pretty well covered it already. We had a lot of side characters who got cut on account of space, time, not wanting to overburden the art team with more sprite requests, or because they were hilariously bad ideas (SHINJI THE GAY TAILOR).
Sure we occasionally speculate about the commercial potential KS has, but do I regret not becoming a part-time T-shirt merchant? No. I rather do something I actually like on my free time, even if it means I lose the opportunity to financially exploit my fans.Tang wrote:For Aura,
2) Don't you feel guilty that nobody will be able to walk into Chinatown with their KS-inspired gfs (well you get what I mean to say) and buy a nice heart plushie or Satou music box, all because of the age-old promise of not going commercial with KS?
You're being pretty unspecific, but fan art is one of the things that we generally allow.AllyHean wrote:To Aura,
May I use Katawa Shoujo as the basis for my art project? It will strictly be for schoolwork, non-commercialized of course.

Not really. It was just grinding. We really had no idea what we were doing when we were starting out, so we just figured stuff out as we went on and grew into it organically rather than use some "technique". Some people advocate doing stuff like reading your text out loud to get a better grip of how (un)natural it sounds but at least I never do anything like that.Enceladeans wrote:This might be a stupid question, but screw it, can't hurt to ask. I'm slowly preparing to start my third novel, but I think it's important to improve on some of my apparent flaws. You guys are amazing writers (the whole time I was going through KS I found myself wishing I could make something half as beautiful), so maybe you can help out.
Is there a particular technique you used for developing the cast into realistic characters and making the dialogue sound believable? I've grappled with communication issues for a long time myself, so to me no matter how hard I try, when I write something things seem to come out...fake.
I would be scared if he looked like that, but the devs don't want users to answer, so ignore metommo1982 wrote:Aura, I think your forum avatar suits you. Was it a special request from art team? Do you really look like that?
