As much as I like KS, I did have to try a little too hard to be interested in the day-to-day lives of school kids (the disabled part made it more interesting). Not that it's a bad game at all - it definately draws out some emotion and is reasonably well written (apart from some Hisao dialogue being rather bland and cringe-worthy).

You sort of get the impression that they are mostly like normal kids. Apart from maybe Hanako and Rin.

Any thoughts on my appraisal?

This is the problem with most VN's, the main character is retarded 90% of the time.

I liked Emi's route too, even though Lilly's was a bit better imo.

[aliendrone123]

I'm gonna do Hanako's now, almost on Act 2 with her.

also uh if you actually plan on having 5 characters with 5 paths and intend it on having routes, that's 25 routes. if each route has only three pieces of CG for the relationships each, that's 75 pieces of art. if you go for the standard amount of art (there's a rough average of like, 10), that's 250 pieces of artwork to make.

i'm still trying to figure out how i want to go about that. To be honest i do want to just have five heroines and one playable character but the flaw in that is that the character is hisaos' son. So if he had a child with one of the girls from the first game there's only four other possabilitys for children.




So far i've decided that Hisao (your father in the game) will be the science teacher, Lilly will be the english teacher, and i'm still contemplating making Shizune the principal. I also have an idea of who i could have make the sprites, if they don't say yes then it might be up for commission, or open casting i haven't decided.

Why are all the characters declared in the main script? I know from experience that having one script full of code is going to be a nightmare.

Are you doing the art yourself?

No, i'll get someone who can draw characters properly, i may have to do the concept art though.


Doomish and co will be happy to hear that Hanako is going to be the librarian

You could ask Ecksdee, he made some Hanako sketches in the Tinychat and they looked pretty good.

[Taggart]

you could also ask me, except that I'm busy with my own comic and still teaching myself how to draw from the ground up again

[Lazyboy0337]

I could draw shitty mspaint doodles.

I've read all of the arcs apart from Emi's. Should I bother?

You definitely should. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to label Emi's route as the best one since I was previously completely unfamiliar with the VN medium (and generally not very well acquainted to romantic anime in general), but... Let's just say I find it to be really really good, with good pacing, adequate balance between sad and happy scenes, and an easy-to-relate to character.

[pawelte1]

Does anybody know where can I find a download link to the mp3 file of 'The Student Council' track, which plays in Act 1 v5 (and probably the older versions, too)?
And I'm not talking about this one, even though it's similar.

[Im Crimson]

I'm glad there is another KS thread. The VN megathread felt quite alien, for lack of better words. I do have to finish Saya no Uta before I can pick up Rin's arc however.

Do you mean the version of the similar song found in the final version, or a song version that only exists in the old versions? "The Student Council" song from the final version is here: http://filesmelt.com/dl/1-07_The_Student_Council.mp3, but maybe that's not what you were looking for?

It has a similar theme tune to the song you posted but it's been shuffled around a bit and changed quite a lot.

I'm considering taking the other girls and making them faculty, and just have him choosing Lilly be canon. As that would be much easyer to write a plot of comparable quality than branching off in five different directions from the start. Then maybe if the story is flexible enough i'll add it as an option later.

So, uhh. I just learned that the track captain is gay...and that he is a sworn supporter of anal...I mean clandestine encounters.

[Vallux]

Not really. That was just a indirect way of saying that    Hisao and Emi had lemon enhanced anal in the shed by the track.    The story is chugging on nicely.

spoiler tag that shit bro.

[aliendrone123]

Yeah don't spoil it for others guys. That's like the ultimate dick move. Plus I'm pretty sure it's one of the rules for this section.     albeit it isn't enforced nearly enough....

Kind of a spoiler, might want to tag that.

[luckycandy]

Ok, after a day of brainstorming plot ideas, i can easily say for the time being Lilly's good ending is canon.
Mostly in part due to juggling five different set's of relations between the characters would be/is chaos.

Now, for the second part. What would you guy's think of Shizune pulling a "Athena and the golden apple" and marrying Misha, then adopting a child?

[Novangel]

It seems a bit unlikely, it doesn't really appear she has much interest in Misha as a partner, but it's not impossible I suppose.

[Neat!]

poor shizune

Hence the golden apple reference...damn it the joke is dea- here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_apple


In all seriousness, this is why i'm throwing out ideas left and right, so i don't script something out in left field and end up ticking people off.

I think she'd suit being an aunt to be honest.

my first session was about 10-12 hours, if that helps you paint a mental picture on why i'm adamant about creating a sequel.
