Katawa Shoujo is very disappointing. Discuss.

>> No.2520880

I was actually surprisingly pleased by it.

I expected complete shit, seeing as every single other english fanmade visual novel works is fucking terrible. Maybe that's why I wasn't disappointed.

Despite following it since the early stages, I expected A: It'd never go anywhere and B: If it somehow did, it'd be just as shit as everything else. I was surprised when I actually enjoyed the demo.

I liked it a lot actually. I'll be honest, the only VN I ever seriously played were X-Change 2 and Narcisssu, so maybe I'm not the best judge, but I liked how subtle the dialogue choices were. I appreciate that.

The dialogue was a bit too wordy for my taste. To me, a visual novel should be told like a person telling you a story. Something like a "Holy shit, you'll never guess what happened to me last weekend!" sort of thing.

I can't wait for the finished project. I've always liked the idea of OEL VNs, and I hope there are more popular, good ones in the future.

Well, I got Emi's scene just by doing whatever felt natural at the time (which is usually what I do in my first playthrough). Makes sense in hindsight, since I am the kind of person who'll push himself physically just to see if he can.

Then Lilly, then Hanako (just one choice apart), then I accidentally Rin while going just a few choices back (doing the drunken fall scene several times on the way, as part of the DFS).

Completion at 86%.

Very minor spoilers follow.

"Is Carnival!": This scene did not feel like a route clincher at all. I agree with some other Anons that Emi feels incomplete, though she's a cute character, and has had some development.

"Promise of Time": Feels good, man. Lilly's development is more subtle than Rin's or Shizune's, but it doesn't feel weak. I like how they made her "the other class rep," and got it to work. The saying about the blind leading the blind was brought to mind. Someone probably used it when brainstorming her.

"Nc5xB3": Chess reference, not a program error. This scene was alright, but overall felt weaker than Lilly's. Hanako is the only one of the cast to go for this traditional variety of moe, but it does work for her character. Stammering and shyness make SENSE for her.

"Clouds In My Head": Rin is nuts. Ok. I've read crazy characters. I've WRITTEN crazy characters. This is how I know that crazy is simultaneously easy and difficult to write. The difficult part is making them consistently crazy--like real crazies are. If you fail that, you end up with lolrandum. Even if it's more like ADD, it's just a slower, subtler variety of lolrandum. Not enough of Rin to make an accurate judgement of her yet, though I have hope, and a scene of a girl falling asleep on your arm is always nice.

>> No.2521421

Writing: Better than I expected. The descriptions are short and to the point, yet are literary enough to keep the reader's attention. The dialogue is well written, and all of the archetypes are executed to achieve just the right amount of moe~. VNs like this are all about the characters, so this very good.

Art: Besides Emi's, the sprites are good. However, the CGs had some weird proportions. Anybody else have a hard time imagining how Hanako was sitting in that beanbag chair? However, being used to KEY, it didn't bother me that much.

Music: Lots of generic tracks, with a few good ones mixed in. The number of tracks could easily be cut down, so that the better ones get played more often. It's hard to complain though, as all of it fits the mood properly, which is probably the most important measure for it. If Type Moon and Key BGM is average, you could say it's a bit above average.

Sup bro, just listening to my MOON. and ONE soundtracks. Yeah, they're better than the bad KS music. Then again that's an easy thing to do.

I wonder if you're part of the KS music team? It wouldn't be too far-fetched ; I can see them thinking that their music is better than professional game stuff.

Yeah, it's very tiresome. They've been posting their bad game here for years now.

This is a fanmade project. They're all making the game in their free time. For free. You go ahead come up with an idea for a VN, pull together a dev team, and start work on it. See how good it'll be and how long it'll take you.

Working under these conditions, I'd say the devs made a pretty damn good game. Better than anything you could make in your spare time, I'm sure.

I'm enjoying this demo perhaps even moreso than some other actual VN's I've played, which is saying a lot for any sort of original/doujin works at all.

I guess anon will always bitch about the most minute details and call it shit no matter what, but admit it, this is about as good as it gets for a western made VN. The presentation is right up there with some professional VN's even, CG's/Music are great as well, with not many places reeking of QUALITY so to speak.

A++++ 10/10 would play through again

I agree with that statement, but he is saying some forgettable music in his game is better than KEY/TM BGM.
Sure Key/TM BGM are average at best, but at least a few them evoke emotion in you. For example Gentle Jena and Emiya.

The old "do you yourself" thing is just as tired, devs.

My complaints are not unique. Just look through this thread and past threads about your demo. It's fine if you ignore me, but are you really gonna ignore everyone else?

You've been working on this thing for years, and are you really satisfied with creating mediocrity in the end? Because that's the current road you're taking. If you're happy with that, then just say it. It will put some closure on all of this.

To be fair, the game is just starting. There hasn't been an opportunity for stirring scenes, and equally stirring BGM.

1) I'm not a dev.

2) I'm perfectly aware that the THEN DO IT YOURSELF IF YOU THINK MINE SUCKS line is usually just a shitty excuse for poor quality. It doesn't apply in this case. The game was fun. It wasn't perfect, but also not worth the amount of vitriol you've been spitting on it.

Were you a KS Dev at some point, ZUN? Did they not like what you had to contribute? Did they kick you out, or just push you out by not using anything you worked so hard on?

It's actually pretty alright. The Writing is fine,nothing note worthy except for a few words that I had to stop and look up,making you wonder who uses that in casual conversation, like Disingenous or however you spell it, for example. Another slight problem is that I cannot really get in tune with the main character Hisao. To me,it's a bit hard to understand him... But still, you can read it without getting bored. And the art is not your everyday american "GRIMDARK,NICE CHIN FUZZ BATMAN!",it looks kind of artsy probably thanks to the shading, yet still modern day anime style. Music is tolerable,nothing noteworthy, but it gets the job done.

It's free and it has the quality and aspects of a normal VN you would normally pay money for. I would give these guys a medal,they did very well. All we're missing now is some Japanese VA's for the added Weaboo effect and we are set.

By the way,the game should have a Kenji route. I dont even care if it has that required "Do all other routes to unlock this one" for it. It just simply NEEDS to happen.
