Katawa Shoujo Forums

The last post from them anywhere I could see (our internal translation forum) was in March.

We don't keep tabs with the translation teams apart from the Japanese team, so sadly I can't really be of help.

...why?

Most recently, I've become a historian. So I've begun looking at the archive of old stories and posts and trying to trace the history of these forums. It's fascinating. I had been wondering if there was a way to list all the threads by thread ID order, or equivalent. I guess I shall just have to get my hands dirty then, which is fine with me. Thanks for being around for so long; when I read the 'no further updates' post on KS 1.3.1 I felt a twinge of melancholy.

Will you continue to be in these forums? Past posts suggest that when people no longer come here, you'll stop. But of course, you might consider just... stopping. That would be sad too.

Sure. The end of support only means that support for KS ends, nothing else.

So just as a follow up question, does the end of official support mean that the translation teams which have been working before official support ended can no longer expect their translations to be added to the "Full Version"? Or does this only apply to new translations after the fact?

Basically, will the "Full Version" only include English, French, Spanish and Japanese for the foreseeable future, with new translations only being available as patches? And will you no longer be announcing when other translations are finished?

I suspect that if I overlooked these answers somehow being in the VN I'm going to look like a goof, and if this has already been asked I'm going to look like an even greater goof, but the question is hard to run a search on and I haven't had any success pinning down an answer.

Are Rin and Misha canonically only children, or is the possible existence of siblings left ambiguous?

Yes, any further translations won't be released as full version by us, nor will we promise to announce/endorse independent translation. This includes any projects that are currently ongoing.

Yes, both are only children.

Now that I can translate the game to my own language (Portuguese), I have some questions about it (sorry if there are to many)

-What was the Word Count in the english script?
-If I try to "export" my saves from 1.3 to 1.3.1, what should I try?
-Were there any changes on the script from 1.3 to 1.3.1?
-Do you have any tips for someone trying to translate the game?

If you answer any of them, I'll be really thankful

- It's around 500000 words. Roughly the same as the Lord of the Rings trilogy, for comparison.
- It should work.
- Only in Japanese scripts
- Don't do it alone. You'll want a team. Work on it every day, even if it's just a tiny amount. Also realize that you need to be a competent writer in your target language to get a good result. If you're a poor writer the translation will read like ass.

Do you plan to make anything else KS related (not another sequel or prequel to the game as that has already been confirmed as not going to happen) like drawings, or animations?
also is there anything you guys are working on atm either together or individually im always interested in peoples work. also i apologise if either of these questions are a nuisance as that is not my intention.

We have no plans to make more KS things.

Many of us are doing stuff.

thanks i shall take a look.

with regards to fanmade work, does that include making a game (definently free, due to your requests and well it would be wrong) cause i was thinking of making a little futuristic game where each of the characters from KS would have their own cool futuristic suits and stuff, as for the story of said potential game well none atm really my main intention would be to just make each character into a 3D model and make them look futurery, and then just make them playable in 3rd person on a little game, if there were to be a story it would be a fanfic story not novel though it would be a relatively small story, the main thing really is just a futuristic fanfic but with an actual playable build which you can run around and do stuff in. If you feel i wasn't clear we certain parts of my idea please ask away. also if I can't make said fangame, would i still be able to make the 3D models and do a little animation or still render?
