Re: Mental Disorders that Would Work in Mentaru Shoujo

Wow, you really have some very good ideas going there, guys! Of course I can't tell anything about what we've already planned so far, but it's very nice to see that much support and input :) On a similar note - that "Let me show you my anti-Feminist bunker" thing was also a thing that really bugged...

"Right Place", a short film about OCD

I think it's a pretty awesome little movie, isn't it?

Re: Mentaru Shoujo Concept Art Thread

Random thought but I think we should keep the Freud expy. Just my personal opinion but I think it's a nice shout out and it works as good joke potential as well as the starting point for a good character. Make sure to lampshade it constantly if he stays. Like, on the first time the MC sees him he'd...

Re: Mental Disorders that Would Work in Mentaru Shoujo

Well, I never said it'd work for a main character, it's just an interesting idea... Other things I came up with: Paranoid schizophrenia, not played for laughs this time. Less "Let me show you my anti-Feminist bunker" and more "I think people are talking about me behind my back. I'm certain people ar...

Re: Mental Disorders that Would Work in Mentaru Shoujo

What about Antisocial Personality Disorder? Surely not all of them are serial-killers in the making. Oh! And that gives me another idea: obsessive stalkers, not played for laughs or creepiness. Way, way too few works actually consider the fact that stalkers are often deeply disturbed people unto the...

Re: Introduce yourselves Fans!

In regards to translation I don't believe it should be any great issue. I'll bring it up at the next development meeting. I think a process where completed text is translated on an ongoing basis could work well given sufficient coordination. If you're still interested after I can get back to you. T...

Re: Introduce yourselves Fans!

I'd offer to translate the game to Hebrew, but as Suriko kindly explained to me a few years back, Ren'py can't do Hebrew, so I guess that's not an option either... Actually, I believe ren'py does Hebrew now (support was added sometime in 2009?). The issue was that the KS team forked ren'py way befo...

Re: Attention Deficit Disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (extreme cases)

Are you really sure we are all prepared and willing to gaze into the philosophical abyss of where the line is drawn between "personality" and "disorder"? Especially when concerning things like ADHD. I mean, if a character with ADHD is always late, or if their room is always disorganized, or if they ...

Re: Introduce yourselves Fans!

I cannot post nearly as often as I did before, and most likely never again will be able to. I don't merit a fancy title.

Also, I was a lot less self-aware back then, I guess.

I just find it amusing that the post about OCD was immediately re-posted with a minor correction.

Re: A few ideas.

As for the setting, the concept art thread hints at yet another high-school (with teachers and uniforms). However, judging by the characters' names and appearances, it seems that the current design has the game taking place in Germany rather than Japan. Personally, I am very much for this. Too many ...

Re: Attention Deficit Disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (extreme cases)

ADHD here, as I've already mentioned before. And, as I've said in the same place, with all due respect I do not think that this would be a very good idea. It simply doesn't "compare", you know? Even very extreme ADHD (and I take doses of Atomoxetine twice per day so massive you could use them to ass...

Re: So, here I was refreshing the window and...

Actually, Latin for "sleep" would be "Somnus". "Som" means sound, as in Portuguese (apparently, I don't speak Portuguese). And "Nova" is Latin for "New" in the feminine form - "Novus" is the male form (in Latin, as in Hebrew, the vast majority of words has a gender attached to them. Actually, I thin...

A WILD DORK APPEARS!

Hey there guys. Some of you may or may not remember me from the KS forums. As you can (or perhaps cannot) see, I have lost the title of Minister, and so am now doomed to be known solely for my insufferable personality and signature horrible writing style. I haven't been very active there, as of late...
