Somnova Studios

Annaliese is my favorite too. But maybe someone else can write her story?

The forums are not chatrooms. On topic please.

To bring you back on topic...

So this may seem stalker-esque but it's not like I was actually doing anything of the sort lol. So I was clicking around on an artist website I just found and I accidentally clicked on someone's name in the comments section and it brought me to a twitter account. Before I hit my mouse 4 button to go back I saw the link to http://somnovastudios.blogspot.ca/ and went "hrmmm" and clicked it. And so I eventually made it to the forums. I hope you don't feel twitter violated, mister Telyur Hamadyne.

So as my first post I say hello to you all. I've only played a few VN's but for some reason I really like to follow these types of projects such as Katawa Shoujo that I'm about to replay. I always feel like teams like this can produce better material than the Japanese companies. And I like that I don't have to do anything illegal

To wrap things up I wish you guys the best of luck and can't wait to see what's to come. Now to read up on more of what yall are doing here

Via TVtropes, that foul, soul-stealing website.

TVTropes, thou art a cruel mistress.

I found out about this game from a Gamefaqs board of all things. Obviously, it was the board for Katawa Shoujo, but still. Gamefaqs!

I saw this on the Katawa Shoujo board but wasn't really interested, but then I saw it again on TVTropes and decided to check it out.

And I though there wouldn't be many tropers here...
Is tvtropes that famous? Never heard of anyone close by that browses it (please take note that I'm brazilian).

Tvtropes Katawa Shoujo page.

Yes, it's a very, very popular site.

Edit: It's popular in the fact that you can go there and kill a few hours easily by simply reading the articles and learning a lot.

Never heard of TV-Tropes until I registered here and someone posted that they found MS there ^_^"

Indeed. It also has a good amount of humor.

Truth to be told, I don't even remember where/when I found tvtropes...

TvTrope's Katawa Shoujo page like a year ago.

One can only fantasize of the implied torrent of young and eager fans that would come pouring on that blissful day shortly after our release when a TvTropes page is created for this game itself.

I was desperately looking for Dating Sims with a decent story and character development (but I only managed to find meet&fuck games),
so I took some more effort into my research and stumbled over some websites that hosted titles like Hatofull Boyfriend and the likes.
I tried some free Dating Sims when I found Katawa Shoujo. I was (to put it mildly) amazed of the passion that must have went in this non-profit game.

(By the way, I played the hanako path and were really satisfied. I guess the psychological aspects of her route appealed to me a lot more than the others.)

The days after I completed my playthrough, I thought about a visual novel that plays in an Asylum. To understand the mechanics behind this visual novel
I took a deep look into the Katawa Shoujo Forums. A thread with the title >Would you play a "mental disability" VN similar to KS?< on the Katawa Shoujo board
grabbed my attention. I searched for "Mentaru Shoujo" and found this site. At first sight I was intrigued. Then I stayed and came back at frequent intervals.

Pretty much sums up how I got here

I've thought of making a page - I have seen them for unreleased works - but I decided to wait until at least a demo is released.
