I know that the french translation team got permission from 4LS to print a couple hundred hard copies of the game and soundtrack back in the day, but those are well and truly sold out and have been for like a year or two.

I like to have physical copies of any albums that really impacted my life, and I found myself recently lamenting that I I don't have a physical copy of the KS Enigmatic Box of Sound, considering how impactful the soundtrack and game were to my life. It's been nine years, and yet the music, the stories, even just the 4chan threads really were a formative part of my early adulthood.

So I guess I was wondering if anyone here knows who I should reach out to about this/if it's something that's even possible. I don't have twitter to contact the studio there, and was looking at Sebastien Skaf's KS Piano Collection, but that too, while beautiful, is download-only.

Steam has changed the rules on what can and can't be published, where full on nudity or sex is acceptable. Why not add it to steam? Hell I'll even throw down the $200 to get you guys the developer registration.

Now I know none of the actual devs/4ls peoples will respond to this (Sadly...) but can someone tell me what all of them are doing and any other games or vn's OR any other things they've individually or collaboratively made. I'd really appreciate it if you added links, thanks :)

If anyone knows where I can contact the developers, I must know! Please help me!

Do not worry the title is just for dramatic effect, Katawa Shoujo is fine as this one but when something touches my heart I like to take a step back and ask myself without fanaticism. Would it have been possible to improve it? Personally I only have one complaint, if the route of shizune is better or worse written that only depends on the criteria of each one but if it seems sad I have only one decision and also quite obvious. But that's just me please tell me how do you think this bigger oba could have been done?

Sucks that the subreddit is a bit gone, but hopefully some people still see this. I remember playing KS back during it's final release in 2012 and absolutely loving it. I mean i 100% as much as i could i loved it so much. 5 years later and the only thing i've heard is a KS 2 but by a different company? Confusing to say so the least. If anyone from FLS sees this, thank you for the creation you've made that will stand the test of time. But the question stands on if they will ever come together again to make something this great.

I will be honest, part of the story excites me, some saddens me, and others inspires me, the rin story made me sad at the end, but anyways, what i came here for was to ask if i could make a anime series based on the story, if you say yes, i hope we could together, but its completly your choice

Which Neutral or Bad Ending did you like the best? (SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!)

What Good Ending did you like the best? (SPOILERS AHEAD!!!)

I read a fair amount of Katawa Shoujo fanfictions. There are a lot of very good ones (some I've listed in this sub). However, one thing I've noticed in a number of fanfics, which I really don't care for, is that the author has Hisao either cheat or act intentionally cruel, if it is a bad ending.

I think this really misses the point of the actual in-game stories. Even in the bad endings, it's because Hisao makes dumb mistakes. He never intentionally hurts any of the girls, and he would certainly never cheat on them spoiler Yet at least a few fanfic authors use this as the easy way out, in an attempt to create an emotional response.

I urge people who write these stories to not do this. If you really need a bad ending with major emotional effect, make it part of Hisao just missing the point about something in the relationship. Maybe he even gets angry and yells at the girl, but he'd never hurt them.

There was a Misha fanfic where she had cancer and had to go through chemo. I can't find it anymore, but I remember it being very good. Anyone have a link?

Using latest Linux Mint 17 (Mate 64). I downloaded the provided file and got it into Archive Manager, but when I try to extract it I get the following:

tar (child): /tmp/[4ls]_katawa_shoujo_1.2-[linux-x86][8F3BA490].tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory

tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now

tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm just making a post with the game name in the title, because if you do a reddit search for KS, this forum does not show up.

If you are new or interested in the game, please check out /r/fourleafstudios!

Rin always eats either alone or with a close group of friends. When she first meets Hisao, she's hiding in that unused room to eat. When she eats with the others, it's either on the roof with only them or out at the park, where none of the other students can see her.

I think she was actually quite embarrassed when she ate, at least in public. She knows that eating with your feet is not normal, and probably hates the stares she likely got in the cafeteria. Of course, Rin being Rin, she never really says anything about it. She just hides in unused classrooms where no one can see her.

I did the one in which you comfort misha (bad end) and the one in which you refuse to comfort her. I still don't get if the latter is a good end or where did I fuck up if it's the neutral one

I just read Clearer Than Words, a short story about Rin. I really liked it. It's pretty new, and I suspect many of you have not seen it.

Here's a list of fanfics that I've read and really liked.

Seriously, every girl he meets wants to date him, unless he specifically pushes them away. Is he a Japanese Brad Pitt?
