I'm still holding out hope. This is a project which deserves to see the light of day, and I could really use another deep and (ultimately) uplifting, if bittersweet, VN.

...not like I've been sitting on a KS fan comic for, uh, about three years now...

Still cheering you all on!

AAAAAARGH.

Yep.

No, that's...great, guys. Cool.

...neat.

In reference to the article itself, I agree that it sounds like it'll actually be a bit tougher to handle this aspect of the characters than it was for 4LS in Katawa Shoujo. Physical disabilities will likely affect personality in one way or another, but in a sense you can still divorce the personali...

Well, I don't think it's quite that bad. For the most part, pageview count and favorites do a fairly good job of singling out very good artists, although it's not perfect. I can't really fault someone for wanting to get paid either. When they're putting in 7 hours for a drawing for someone else, I ...

Bunch of stuff to reply to here... The thing with KS was to me that the girls weren't all that "special". It was a very good VN in its own right and I especially admire it for taking a jab at whiteknighting, especially when the theme is so vulnerable to the old cliché of the player "fixing" the weak...

There is a VN/Ren'py game that does something like this, called Shira Oka: Second Chances. The creators of Shira Oka did not use Ren'py. I'm not entirely sure what software they used... but it works on Windows and Mac. Also, while their game has narrative and some dialogue segments, since it has so...

"Recollections" is a nice little piece. I've been listening to it a few times to let it grow on me a bit. I think I'm still adjusting to the fact that it doesn't instantly put me in mind of a romantic story the way "Wiosna" does for KS, but at the same time I realize it's not entirely fair to make s...

If it's included, I hope that the devs can maintain the same degree of verisimilitude (teens, especially virgin teens, aren't likely to be acting out fetish porn scenes when they get intimate) I disagree. If the game wishes to avoid getting bad rep from being "simulated child pornography" (banned i...

Ahh, Paranoia. Great game, completely insane gameplay. Good stuff! Yep. Used to bug the heck out of me that we never actually got anywhere in our missions, because we'd killed each other to the last clone long before that happened. Then, many years later, someone enlightened me to the fact that thi...

I'm hoping MS can pull off what KS did with making people realise there are people behind these disorders. Here's a big reason for me, as well. While I've long acknowledged that people with disabilities are just that - people - I don't think I ever quite fully absorbed that truth into my heart unti...

Personally, I would prefer that there weren't. Obviously the devs are going to do what they think is best for the story, and I'll play one way or another, but assuming they may be open to feedback, I'm casting my vote against the inclusion of H-scenes. If it's included, I hope that the devs can main...

Well, I had this one idea...it's more of a mechanic than a story idea. Dunno if it has been done yet. Namely, it would involve making the whole "choice at certain points in the story" mechanic be a part of the story itself, via something like time-travel, or traveling between realities. So, you wou...

If I could completely rip off a licensed setting and not worry about the consequences (or somehow get permission), I would write a VN that takes place in the Shadowrun tabletop RPG universe, called Bright Future : The characters are all students at a corporate school run by the Shiawase megacorporat...

Similar to Pilgrimm, except that I was very much into anime and manga many years ago and have only recently been gradually getting back into it; and Analogue: A Hate Story was my first VN while Katawa Shoujo was my second. I don't know how much I'll be reading and posting around here, because I foun...

Yep, me too. Came here from TVTropes' entry on Katawa Shoujo. Now I'm desperate for some more VN goodness.
