[quote="Katawa Shoujo Forums]
Q: When will the full game be out?
A: When it's done. Don't ask for a progress status bar or such, since we don't really keep track of progress ourselves and occasionally it suddenly bounces back to lower levels in any case.

Q: Will there be sex/H-scenes in the full game?
A: Yes. There will also be a togglable option in the configuration menu for the game to skip the scenes.

Q: Will the game be censored?
A: No.

Q: Will there be voices?
A: No. We decided on this a few months ago for a number of reasons, including (but not limited) to: sheer amount of dialogue, the need to freeze scripts once voicing is done, need for VAs for every character, and bloating of the already somewhat large number of developers. Please don't apply to be a voice actor, because we won't accept any. Sorry.

Q: Will there be episodic releases?
No. The next release will be the full game (ie. there will not be Act 2, Act 3, etc, releases).

Q: Will you be charging money for the full game?
A: No. If you really want to monetarily help us, please give the money to a charity. They need it much more than we do.

Q: Will there be a translation to my language, since the main site is also in my language?
A: No, unless you or some kind person who knows your language does it. The Italian translation is an exception, since Silentcook will translate the full game like he translated the demo. We are willing to give out scriptfiles to prospective translators, but the amount of support we are willing to provide is limited. That said, there are many translation projects already underway.

Q: Will Misha have a route of her own in the full game?
A: No.

Q: Will there be different endings for each of the girls?
A: Yes, all the stories have at least two endings.

Q: How do I get 100% or a certain ending on Act 1?
A: There is a walkthrough on the forum.

Q: Are you going to release [sprites, CG, music, backgrounds, etc.] separately once the project is finished?
A: No. You're welcome to grab anything you can from our main site though, and to screenshot away.

Q: Are you all Anonymous posters from 4chan?
A: No. Several of us browse 4chan occasionally, and we might post even more occasionally, but that's it. Believe it or not, we never start threads about KS. We might respond to them now and then, but most of the time we're far more busy working on the project.

Q: Can I become a part of the project and help? I'm [list of qualifications follows]
A: Odds are good that you can't. That said, we've been known to change your mind. Several times. Consecutively. So the best way to show you CAN help is provide several good-quality samples of KS-related work. Good luck, KS development is practically an unpaid job, and we're brutally honest with each other.

Q: Are you going to create more games once you're done with Katawa Shoujo?
A: Much too early to say. We have to finish KS first, anyway.

Q: My question is not on this list, what do I do?
A: You look through the forums, which have a slew of information in the Public Information section. You'll probably find it there, together with its answer. If you STILL can't find what you're looking for despite searching, you can ask there, or come join our IRC channel, #katawa-shoujo on irc.irchighway.net. There's nearly always at least one of us there.[/quote]

Finished 100% of the demo about a week ago overall this is a really good novel so far. Just found out me and Shizune have the same birthday |:> coincidence that she is my favorite on the novel? Either way good start can't wait for the full release.

Yea, Emi is neglected. ):

Who knows, maybe her path will turn out to be great and it'll take us all by surprise.






Yea...I doubt it too. =\

I read the birthdays for each person just happened to be the day that each developer started working on character details.
Whether that is more meaningful to you or not is up to you.

Also, Im loving the fact that my making this thread has turned all of you into cripple-loving outcasts. I pat myself on the back.

Just because you believe in the feminist conspiracy doesn't mean the rest of us can't like the crippled girls.

wait...what? Shizune what?

Let it be known, above all, Rin is my favorite, then Hanako, Lilly and Emi. Misha and Shizune are tied for last place...

Misha doesn't really count. She doesn't even have a path, lol. She's just a bonus for walking Shizune's path.

That's why they're both tied for last...
But...if she's a bonus for getting with Shizune...does that translate to ménage à trois?
