First off, I greatly appreciate that you've enabled anonymous posting without registering. Thanks for that.

I have one short question for Aura. Similar questions have already been asked, but I'd still like to see an answer for this: What is wrong with Rin?
It's quite hard to pinpoint her issues without being educated on mental disorders, yet I'd like to read more on her condition.

Is Rin a dandelion, or a butterfly?

She's not an octopus

She's not poor.

Guest wrote:Now that the finished product is out, how do you feel about the characters you've constructed? Will you be able to comfortably walk away from them, or do you think they may have a place in your mind for some time well after KS's release?

At least I don't have any special attachment to the characters.

Much to the dismay of japanese fans, I'm sure.

I guess my question is: is there any chance at all of any of you guys grouping together again (other devs would be nice to chime in now), because you all have amazing talent, better than many games I have paid for.

Yes there is a chance, but we have no current plans.

Listen, was Rin a difficult character to write? And I mean write her the right way? When I look at her dialogue, and observe her pretty random behavior now that I'm progressing trough her path slowly but surely, I can only think that fleshing out her persona fully must've taken quite a bit of creative madness.

Sure, she was very challenging to write, to the point that the other writers started sort of actively disliking writing stuff with her in it (because I kept telling them they were doing it wrong). Same applies for Kenji to an extent.

Maybe there's something wrong with everyone and everything else?

Earlier you said you guys were splitting to go do other projects or something along those lines.. What kind of projects did you mean? Or have you guys thought about it yet? Considering KS just came out and I bet you just want a nice break haha.

Probably something for crud, but I was just wondering. There is a part of dialogue where Hanako says that she is "good with computers'. which was probebly over hung in the story by the singing interest. Is there anything behind this? Or is it just filler?

I think this was something that Suriko put in during the long, hard editing phase of Hanako's path (Once again, Suriko did a large portion of the back half of Hanako's Path).

However I believe that this is a reference to some of the traits from the "Original" Hanako paths, which included (amongst other things) Karaoke, and so much self-projection (this is really early, mind you) that it hurt.

I see. That seems reasonable enough. I felt that although it was a minor part of her development, I feel that it almost opened the doors of her personal interests that no one really knows about.

I must say I really look up to you actually haha. I don;t really have another question though.

Can we talk?...

-giggles-

What did it feel like in Hanako's character development during the story? You seem to have put a lot of emotion into her character, and I just wanted to know how it felt for you to flesh out her character?

I guess there are parts of both in the final product... In Lilly's path, she eventually joins the newspaper club and helps put stuff together on the computer, and in Hanako's path, a sort of karaoke outing is planned, before it is derailed by other things.

How does it feel that you've made a bunch of /v/ neckbeards get their shit together? Myself included.

As an addendum to this, I'd like to inquire if 4LS is staffed entirely by wizards.

Hello KS-developers, I have a couple of music "specific" questions. But to understand those, you have to listen to two particular youtube videos.

KS music - Afternoon:

Ghetto Boys - Damn it feels good to be a gangsta:

Now the questions:

1. Was this intentional?

2. If yes, does every/most member about the Katawa Shoujo team knows about this?

3. And If you guys know about this, are there more hidden "easter eggs" like this? I am actually laughing hard at this find here.

I do believe this sounds very much alike - yet different in tone and atmosphere, I do suppose it is some kind of easter egg, but VERY hilarious nontheless.

Furthermore I want to thank you for this awesome game, you guys deserve and form of direct and indirect paise, such as reviews and/or people praising it outside this board on other forums. Great game in every aspect!
