Hello /ksg/, I love Emi.

If you ask me, I think the alpha route is also really shit.
Hey, me too! Shizune might be my favourite, but Emi holds a special place in my heart.

nth for Suriko

emi and shizune are my 2 favorites (as path girls anyway) too!

daily reminder to write write write write write for the spring writing event!

Lilly!

One for Mish

Shizune!

Nth for headpatting Hana!

headpatting her on the butt?

...

The fact that I am a shameless Shizdrone aside, Rin has the best-written route. I don't even think it's much of a contest desu

I'm going to marry Rin!

when?

When her dakimakura from Russia gets here.

What is it with the ruskies and KS? They seem to love it.

nth for best girl

They are masters of escapism.

a lengthy post was made
now we hope they don't consider it a spam and let it through

even though it is spam

that daki isn't even good

It's the only one I can find of Rin clothed and by herself.

Can someone translate or provide a link to it?

there's no link, because it's a suggested post
it's essentially the same stuff that I posted on KS forums and /r/katawashoujo, plus some details regarding current contest

don't worry, friend, I'll keep you notified

>clothed
patrician taste, f.am
but I'd rather buy myself a blank daki, thrown some cash at good artist to draw me a Rin I would want to have and love, and find a place to print the image

but first, I'd have to move out, hehe
gotta conceal my power level there

suzu!

>tfw no quadruple amputee narcoleptic deaf blind gf
how do you cope, /ksg/?

ITT we think of disabilities for girls in Katawa Shoujo 2
>cebreral palsy girl
>diabetic girl
>left handed girl
>bald head girl
>no one's girl
>stoic girl
>ocean girl
>bald head girl
>no one's girl
>stoic girl
>ocean girl

More terminal ilnesses.

>>left handed girl

I don't get this post.
Either you're autistic or I am. Or both.

well at first I just wanted to make a joke how being left handed is a disability, but then I noticed listing out things ending with "girl" sounds like that one death grips song so it turned into that

speaking of bad jokes I have another one:
A visual novel where every girl is disabled. But isn't that every visual novel? They're girls, after all!

>girl with no brain
>ugly, disfigured girl who flees from social contact
>girl that posts on anonymous anime imageboards

Are you German or something?

>girl that's actually a boy that's actually a girl
>mecha girl

n-no

>ugly, disfigured girl who flees from social contact
don't we already have hanako?

thats a sikk burn

>"let's play tag in a minefield" girl

Ah, I don't know the song, makes more sense now.

>girl with no brain
don't we already have Rin?

um

diabetes is kinda meh.
cerebral palsy is good.
paraplegic or quadruple amputee
...I think there's not that much 'good' disabilities left that aren't in KS/too close from KS.
hearth condition maybe, a femhisao?

Think going the mental disabilities route is the way to go... If MS didn't/doesn't screw it badly.

>femhisao
So, Rika?

>If MS didn't/doesn't screw it badly.
They already have. They're trying to clone how Katawa Shoujo presented their characters, who have physical disabilities, because KS is praised for its presentation, while completely ignoring that mental disabilities are very different to physical disabilities. You cannot just wash mental disabilities under the water and make them just some form of inconvenience in the long run. Mental illnesses and whatnot eat away at who you are - they will influence practically everything you do. They should be taking notes from DDLC, not KS, although to be fair DDLC is super recent.

best girl had a different heart condition

>part rin, emi, lilly, presumably shizune
great!
>part hanako
picture related

It's still a heart condition.

>Misha had seemingly no disability
>Misha was in love with Shizune

>Being a faggot is a disability

What's the full name of that MS game?

Hisao's class still has some intersting disabilities, Rika, Saki and Orie exist too and most have conditions way more debilitating than the main cast.

Missing Stars

ahahaha why the fuck do they have a fat girl

Rika, Saki and who? Neber heard of that 3rd one

Nobody had. Unlike the first batch of april fools girls she totally flew under the radar.

they also have a genderfluid girl and they refer to her as "they". Yeah.

>Veeky Forums makes a novel - Katawa Shoujo
>Tumblr makes a novel - Missing Stars
Is that accurate?

She wasnt fat till somnovastudios.blogspot.com/2017/03/jeanne-sprite-design-complete.html ,her original sprite was cute as hell actually

I think it's hilarious they put a genderfluid person with no other notable (so far) traits in a VN about mental illnesses.

Why can't tumblr draw anime?

No idea brudder

To be fair, we've only seen 30 minutes of Missing Stars. It'd be equally unrealistic of them to show mental illness as something that's immediately obvious on you in a super clear way from the moment you show up, like a missing limb. The characters do come off as eccentric, so it's possible that later down the line we might see the full force of their craziness.

That doesn't justify the fact that the demo is too short to DEMOnstrate that, make it a poor fucking DEMO

sounds about right.

post before?
also I wonder how the discussion about this change happened.
>hey new artist draw this girl
>artist draw some fatty because fetish or tumblr for weight diversity
>...what? ah whatever we don't have the time to get another artist lets just roll with it
or
>hey artist could you draw her THICCer? That's my fetish you know
or
>all our girls are thin, some people gonna whine about this, better make a fat one
or
>I don't feel it's right to have only thin girls! Girls of all weights should be represented in our game!

These all sound terrible, but I'd say that from "worst reason/worst sign for the game" to "best reason", it goes (worst) 4 >>> 3 >>>>>>>>> 1 >>> 2 (best)

sadly I'm afraid it's one of the SJW reasons.

Apparently both her writer and artist are BBW fetishists.

>It'd be equally unrealistic of them to show mental illness as something that's immediately obvious on you in a super clear way from the moment you show up

>HERPADERP BETTER SHOVE BITS OF HAM SANDWICH INTO YOUR EARS SO THE MOON ELVES CAN'T MINDCONTROL YOU

>tfw we're all whining about this character, when in fact it'll subvert tumblr

I'm still of the opinion they're going for a twist with those characters. They're just far too over the top for that. My bet: it's actually going to be a lesson about how you shouldn't judge people just because they go to a special school.

The Russian girl is a better example. She's definitely weird but it's clear the weirdness comes from her personality, not her bulimia. The bulimia will probably be played up later.

As for the artist, she has a good range of body shapes, she can draw sticks or buff women.
So the change was purely intentionnal on the writer's part.

ksg mansion when

You're giving those idiots far too much credit. They aren't subtle or clever. They're just stupid.

ok for bulimiagirl, but what for the 2 retards?
they have ANOTHER mental illness and this was just... what, just goofing around?

I guess we just lucked out and 2 of the first like 5 girls we've met came up with the same "let's pretend we're fucking batshit it'll be funny!" idea, and teachers/doctors played along with it (not making a case of the muzzle, or the girl climbing trees to spy on people and shit)

when you build it

>2 of the first like 5 girls we've met
Yet another case for SHOWING THE ENTIRE CAST IN A DEMO rather than whoever came up first. THESE ARE LITERALLY NOT EVEN ALL THE ROMANCABLE CHARACTERS

For all we know fatty could have realistically portrayed self image issues or depression and the other girl could be an abuse victim, but YOU CAN'T TELL IF THEY AREN'T IN THE DEMO

HOW IS ANYONE SUPPOSED TO DEVELOP AN OPINION ABOUT THE GAME WHEN THE DEMO WON'T DEMONSTRATE ANYTHING

Wristcutter girl also looked like she can behave like a normal human being while clearly there being something off about her, assuming she really has chronic depression/self harm disorder it's not far fetched.

>this could or that could
but I'm not sure how that changes anything to the fact that 2 of the first few girls we've met are fucking batshit, unless there's an explanation why they actually are NOT batshit despite everything pointing to that.

i just finished KS yesterday the hanako route should i try the other routes too?

also, why do you guys hate hanako

cause she's a totally typical moeblob

Yeah, the other routes are better

because subrikoverted rape or something

I'd buy the idea that there was a girl who acted crazy for whatever reason but actually wasn't, and there's a lesson about judging people there. Like she's tired of being made fun of for her actual disorder so she decided she'll play along and act like the Joker all the time. HOWEVER, if this is really the idea how could there be two characters like that? It's such a specific plot point it can't possibly be the case for both in the same game. So either you're wrong, or the Somnova writing team is even less coordinated than we've thought and this does not bode well for their game at all.

It sounds kinda like Michiru from Grisaia with her acting like the joker

>#3405

Enough is enough.

Maybe one's just messing with you because you're the new guy?

What's goin on big guy? Thats my wife you're talking about.

How's Grisaia? Half the people I talk to seem to think it's genius and half think it's trash.

My sympathies

I think it's good but it gets kind of wierd with the sequels


And MC's master is the best char in the whole VN

>daily reminder to write write write write write for the spring writing event!
All together now!

>my waifu would get a heart attack if she saw anything i wrote
Your waifu is Hisao? Unconventional...

my waifu would call me a huge nerf if I wrote about her (or about anything)

>doesn't like emi
>lives in a shithole country
make sense

Hisao with long, silver hair is the best waifu

>I have the strangest suspicion that you're fattest nut
please enlighten me on what led you to this conclusion

I wish there were more Rika fics.
She's got great waifu potential.

based on the 17 words we got about her?

That never stopped anybody. Besides, it's up to the fic writer for all the non-main girls.
