Obsessive blog watcher...

I just posted this seconds ago.

...ugh. They should at least try to finish up KS before working on this new "KSS" shit.

>>371805
None of the core staff are using any of their time on it. This is a project by the irc lurkers and such.

April Fools lol?

This is a terrible idea.

Thanks for informing us there, Sherlock

They really should have announced they were working with ZUN or something, like KEY's little joke.

It is terrible, this idea.

>>371792
Good job Anon.

I see you are excited as we are.

>>371810

WHY

WHY MUST IT BE A SICK JOKE

>>371792
Wait, So the Katawa Shoujo so they're making a new visual novel "in collaboration" with the Katawa Shoujo Staff? My head hurts.

>>371835
For example, I'm doing double duty as KS's editor and a writer for KSS.

>>371835
>Wait, So the Katawa Shoujo group is making a new visual novel "in collaboration" with the Katawa Shoujo Staff? My head hurts.
Sorry, fixed.

moon skills but does Katawa Shoujo Shoujo even make sense as a title?

>>371861
sounds lesbian

I'm a little rusty on my moon skills but does Katawa Shoujo Shoujo even make sense as a title?

What country are those girls in the last drawing from?

>>371831

Holy shit.. New Port Richey?

is this a hidden message saying multiculturalism is retarded?

>>>371869
>sounds lesbian

You're telling me, bud.

>>371831

It looks like a repost but whoever took that picture lives within walking distance of me.

>>371871
Yeah, it basically means "Disabled girls".

The title "disabled" carries the same stigma in Japan as "gay" does in Western countries. Collectivist culture, lol.

Mask-moe~

>>371915
>>371881

I found it on /b/.

>>371939

ಠ_ಠ

>>371943
I wish you the best of luck, and hope whomever took that picture has no reason to seek you out.

I suggest you strike first.

>>371892
It's not hidden at all!

>>371935
I already knew that but doesn't adding two "shoujo" turn it "Disabled girl girl"? I mean there really should be a better choice of a title then that...

>>371995
IT IMPLIES THERE ARE A LOT OF GIRLS

GOD DAMN, ITS SUPOPOSED TO SOUND CUTE

>>371935
I guess "crippled," "lame," or "retarded" is closer in shades of meaning. You know, a game called "Sexy Retard Cripples" might do well in the states...

>>371995
The most accurate translation for the title would be "Katawa Shoujo Girls".

Yes. I wonder what that means...

>>372000
When I see the title, I'm more busy trying to grasp than logic of it than finding it cute.

>>372021
Toddlers repeat things. Toddlers are cute. Therefore repetition is cute.

Oh, wait, you wanted logic, not blatant fallacy. God damn it!

>>372000
I mean couldn't you just call it "More disabled girls"? (Moto Katawa Shoujo? Just making a guess here.)

>>372033
The characters in this game are not disabled

>>372038
I agree. Being armless totally isn't disabled.

>>372048
I mean in KSS

>>372053
Oh. Disregard that then, I'm an idiot.

>>372003
Should be a sub title that appears under the logo.

>>371792
>>OELVN
Who the bloody fuck felt the need to do that?

Wouldn't like...Katawa Shoujo Ai be a better title instead for the lesbian one?

>>372068
Hey guys, if you rearrange the letters "OELVN", you get "Novel"!

>>372096
Hey guys, if you rearrange the letters "OELVN", you get "Volen"!

>>372096
To think I never noticed that before.

>>372096
From now on call it "Novel Original Visual English Language". Who cares if it doesn't make sense, it's suposed to be cool.

>>372111
I C WUT U DID THAR

Someone tell me this shit is not real.

Looking at the filenames of the pics on that blog post is confusing.

>>372244
Why, do tell.

>>372187
>>Someone tell me this shit is not real.
Believe it nigga'

is there any loli in this game

WHO CARES
WHERE IS MY LILLY/HANAKO DOUJIN?

>>371792
looking kinda tsundere there, climatic.

Just to make sure that the girls have the disability part on them, they will either have mental disabilities or will eventually get into accidents making them disabled.

Rejoice?

>>373486
Well to tell you the truth, each of the characters in KSS is based on a developer of Katawa Shoujo, with their real life gender switched.

>>373502

So... Basically you want a "MY OWN CLONE" scenario?

>>373496

>>373509
Well... who knows. I suppose the characters are more like modified caricatyres than just female carbon copies of their dev counterparts.

>>373502
Oh god, it's like fapping to a loli then discovering it's really a sweaty hikkikomori

>>373517
Did you just call me a caricature?

Sounds better than your other shit project. You should probably focus on this instead.

>>373518

I see nothing wrong with this.

>>373518
The loli, pictured a few posts above, is based on a real life underage b& dev, so I guess you can imagine him as a hot shota?

Are you guys all narcissistic or something?

I was actually thinking about the KSS thing. Seeing as Katawa Shoujo Shoujo does not make much sense, I'm thinking of changing it to "Kakushi Sonzai Shoujo" (Hidden Existence Girls). That way, it'll keep the KSS while making more sense to it's actual story (lol foreboding).

>>373527
Not really. I, one of the creators of this project, just had a bit of fun reading IRC logs about two KS developer guys roleplaying as women.

>>373530

agameofpretend.png

>>373527
Not really, it's really just one artist who got inspired by two devs IRC-roleplaying teenage lesbians and started drawing genderbent pics of absolutely everyone.

This actually lead to a similar situation than with Katawa Shoujo itself, as a few guys started imagining names, stories and plots, were those designs real H-game characters.

>>373535
>two devs IRC-roleplaying teenage lesbians
I see, I see.

shit just got real

But, seriously. Katawa Shoujo would be better if a disabled girl was the protagonist.

>>373554
Yuri game or Girl x Boy?

In during RONERY

Does this project even have an artist since that original dude left?

>>373556
Yuri game.

>>373559
Are you talking about Katawa Shoujo or KSS?

Former has six artists, latter one

>>372187
no way, this blog entry, posted just after midnight (EST) on April 1st, is definitely, certainly, 100% real

>>373556
Why not both.

>>373588
timezones, lol

So... who's who?

Dammit guys.

>>373593
Well... the character in the OP pic is climatic-ko, the alter ego of a backgrounds monkey of KS while the girl in spacesuit is Irina, one of the editors.

>>373588
timezones, look at this:

Monday, March 31st, 10:56PM

now let's assume that the server is in someplace that uses CST

what time would it be in EST?

March 31st, 11:56PM

>>373604
Why do you always have to be so serious, Aurora-chan.

This is a very trolltastic April Fool's

>>373613
>March 31st

>>373615
Mirror-Moon's April Fool's was posted on March 31st server-time too

blame the fact that even though everyone who matters lives in EST, for some reason 80% of all servers in the known universe are located in either CST or PST

I do not know any of these people

Half the KS developers are from Ausfailia and therefore when it was March 1st for most Americans they were already living in THE FUTURE due to the magic of timezones. Do the math.

Troll fake game is troooooooooooll.

Protip: at least 50% of this thread is the dev team jerk circling.

>>373643
Protip: at least 90% of this thread is dev team circlejerking

>>373634
unnatural shape is unnatural

You guys need to produce something before people will care about your April fools'.

>>373647
I'll forcefully remove myself from it then.

>>373662

>>373666
Py'tom?
SHIT JUST GOT REAL

Meanwhile, in Katawa Shoujo...

>>373653
There has been work on it.
I'm just paranoid and hiding it from you guys.

cool.
my first post :D

Damn dev team, get back to, you know
DEVELOPING

>>373679
Protip: he means your actual project, KS

>>373681
What we do in our spare time is up to us. Heaven forbid we spend one moment of it not doing KS-related shit.

>>373676
FAPFAPFAPFAP

>>373685
What you do with your spare time should be KS, not this faggotry.

>>373682
In that case, change that 'I' to a 'we'

>>373688
Only one member of the core team's on this. The "creative team" (read: IRC lurkers and people who made contributions but aren't devs) are the ones who're making it.

Deaf-tan is the best! I won't accept any less ;_;

>>373676
OH GOD YES

>>373711
Emi is not amused.

Is this in the game?

People flood porn to get threads deleted.

What they don't know is that all janitors are supposed to do are come in and just delete the porn posts. Sorry dude.

I'm leaving for a job interview right now... I think I'm going to take my laptop with me.

>>373826
Either way we win. We still get the porn.

>>373836
Soup /h/, need sauce, filename was insufficient

>>373826
How would this work exactly? People were already posting katawashoujo NSFW pictures. What's the point?

What's Emi's disability?

Requested in #zettai-shoujou

Also Clarisse Matilda Chestershire (climatic)is a fat chick with no route, but myriad appearances throughout the game.

>>373954
no legs

>>373960
oh shi-

>>373632
Who is that and do we get to have sex with it.

Fullstop.

>>374019
Yes. Fumi Futagawa.
She has a path, as her real life version is pleased to know.

>>373892

Pray tell, what was the filename since it all got baleeted by the faggot mods.

>You are introduced to the numerous main cast members one by one as the story begins. From a Czechoslovakian to a Brazilian, from French to Italian, American to Russian, and so on, you get to choose which girl you want to date from these lovely multi-national girls.

>From a Czechoslovakian to a Brazilian, from French to Italian, American to Russian, and so on, you get to choose which girl you want to date from these lovely
>From a Czechoslovakian to a Brazilian, from French to Italian, American to Russian

>Czechoslovakian

NO SUCH THING IN 2005 GODDAMNIT.

>>374268

LOL EITHER CZECH OR SLOVAKIAN LOL

>>374268
erm, czechoslovakia divided in the beginning of the 90' so it makes someone born back then to be czechoslovakian.

>>374284
Czech.

>>374293
There is no such thing as a Czechoslovakian nationality.

>>374293

Nobody self-identifies as "czechoslovakian". In fact it's considered ignorant and insulting.

>>374293
depending on the birthplace it makes them either czech or slovakian.

>>374293
So someone born in Russia when it was part of the Soviet Union is soviet, not russian?


no.
