Think it was the 1st game that actually had a general here before /vg/ was created, because autist spammed it so much.

yeah I do. I actually took that day off from work just so I could play it. It was absolutly worth it.

Personally I loved the Hanako and Rin routes the most.

There were multiple generals already existing on Yea Forums by then, KS was just the straw that broke the camels back.

It was the beginning of the end. It really made this place infinitely worse.

I was a year late to the party, so not really. I do remember playing it for the first time, though.

krapawa shitjou isn't a video game

Yeah. I downloaded it immediately and didn't do anything except eat, sleep, and play it until I had finished all routes. I laughed, I cried, and I smiled like an idiot.

My only complaint is, well, the entirety of Shizune's route was awful. The girl herself has nothing likeable about her either so it was a damn chore to finish it and I'm glad I put it off for last.

>Think it was the 1st game that actually had a general here before /vg/ was created
Are you fucking kidding me? Yea Forums was drowning in Pokemon Generals to the point it lead to the creation of /vp/, you had Mass Effect Generals as far as the eye could see, just about every MMO had reoccurring pseudo-generals, every flavour of the month game had its general. The creation of /vg/ being good or not as ideas go is a whole other conversation, KS was far from the first general on the board. Obnoxious as fuck, sure, but not the first by far.

Bought a bottle of whiskey to enjoy while "playing" it in solidarity with the blind kid, Kenji was his name I think?

Don't you like getting raped?

yeh.
Not him, but when was /vg/ made exactly? Was it before or after the Tribes Ascend thing?

Get your shit together.

COMFORT HER

Off the top of my head I'd say early 2010. You've always had plenty of Pokemon threads, but HGSS really blew it up, then it snowballed with people following the Diamon and Pearn anime series were swearing up and down that this time, finally, Ash was going to win ppfffthhHHAAHAHAHAHA
Yea Forums and Yea Forums were the worst hit, but it was all over the place. Having fun in a slower thread with actually decent discussion? Too bad, someone's dumping Gardevoir porn amidst genwunners and the latest gen hashing it out, but that's not enough for the fucker making a new thread without searching first and finding the five perfectly active ones.

The emotional response people had to it was strange, since besides being "made" by Yea Forums, it was just a generic cookie cutter VN. Following its development was interesting and I nearly shat my pants when they actually released it, but beyond that it was just ok.

youtube.com/watch?v=68zbcjRnvE8

Pokemon and Blizzshit had generals that predates KS.

youtube.com/watch?v=sobZhvXXsTw

I don't really remember the exact day since I wasn't following it. I do remember seeing all the threads back in the pre-/vg/ days.
I didn't end up playing the >game until 2016.
Although it made me pretty depressed for a while I don't regret it. I made a lot of friends through it, and now I'm making a VN with some of them.

>I got a little revenge afterwards though
what'd you do bro? also got the threat of rape charges with a past gf, women are retarded mang

Shizune's route was the only route I didn't get the good ending on first try because I didn't realize "Comfort her" actually meant "Lay her on the bed and fuck her". I thought rejecting her would make Hisao snap at her to gtfo out of his room because of the move she made on him and forever ruin the friendship, like everytime you tell her to piss off in Act 1 and it leads to the Kenji end.

I do actually since it came out on my birthday. Shizune's route was one of the worst birthday gifts ever

Man, I'd have murdered her if I were you. It's almost worth it to throw your freedom away if it means monsters like her don't walk free and enjoy their lives.

Near the end, she started to have an affair with the department manager at her work. A man double her age, married himself with two kids.
I installed a key logger to her devices, collected the evidence and sent it to that guys wife.
From the conversation my ex and he had, his woman smacked him a few times and filed for divorce.
My ex obviously blamed me for their marriage falling apart.
Yeah women are retarded. I dated a few chicks since then but all I can see are red flags.

Keep your blogposting on your general you mentally ill faggots.

you could have used that evidence to avoid her getting all your money

No, /ksg/ sucks and they say bad things about my waifu.

/vg/ was specifically created because of Katawa Shoujo and LoL threads.

>not the endless SC2 eceleb generals

You're right about LoL at least.
I'm real tired of this revisionism that says a whole board was created for a relatively slow thread about a VN.

Yeah, if you told me that back then, I would have agreed.
But I think it’s good the way it is now. Sure, she ruined me to some degree and made me an emotional wreck. And I sure as hell miss my two little kitties.
But ruining my life just to ruin hers isn’t the way it should be.
Besides, the cats loved her too and me bringing them back to my parents and their cats might not have worked out.
I just hope they’re ok, wherever they are.

I LOVE MY WIFE HANAKO

Attached: 1485635303294.png (660x944, 702K)

I wish I cried at this game. It made me feel, but it was like... a hint of a feel that just barely exists and makes me want to hold onto it more, but not enough to feel satisfied with my emotions or move me. Hard to explain. It's like an empty feeling, yet it still instilled a feeling of longing. I just wanted my heart to be warmed at the heartwarming moments, or to cry at the upsetting moments. Even so, or maybe even because it's like this, I still hold on to this game as an unforgettable experience.

Yeah I get what you mean, it’s the realization of ones own emptiness

I got into VNs a bit prior to KS release, at that point I already read and marathoned kamige like saya no uta, planetarian, narcissu, ymk, clannad, ever17, a lot of really sad shit.
To nobody's surprise I found KS underwhelming, in hindsight it's probably a good VN, but at that time I felt cheated about how overhyped it was.

Jesus christ, remember the announcement?
People have been waiting for years and they never set a release and then they announced ''oh hey guys, we are dropping another trailer in december'' and everyone shat and pissed themselves because the releasedate was announced in the trailer and it was only a month away.

Better days, man.

No, because I’m not a cumbraîn

Ofc I did. I wrote one of the routes. I hate you all.

Fuck that shit I remember the day they announced the idea and cripples over drill hands

It's more of a lovebrain game than anything

Was it Shizune's? Because that would explain a lot.

Pokemon General was the first and it was the only general for the longest time

literally "glass him" before it was a thing

>actually playing it for the porn

This fucking guy. You're in the wrong neighborhood, faggot. KS is way more.

I remember playing the demo when it came out and how much hype there was over it on Yea Forums. Good times
I ended up never playing the full game though

#3689 after losing count 2 times iirc. Never forget. I remember playing the demo when it first came out, but I never got around to playing the full game. Was never a huge VN fan anyway, plus now I'm playing/reading Umineko. On episode 2.

please kill yourself, tranny

Yeah, I was kind of excited since I'd contributed design notes in the first forum that died.
The torrent was fun to wait on. I remember people posting some holiday inn wifi IP that was leeching it.
But when I actually played the game, I decided to drop it after Emi and Shizune. Art wasn't great and the routes had too many inconsistencies in tone from the different writers. That project really needed a proper editor.
Also, I'd like to add it's bonafide fucked that ksg is still going on /vg/ and the fuckers even number their threads. It makes me embarrassed to have had anything to do with the game.

>design notes
>contribute
Ryan fuck off

Somewhat incorrect
/ksg/ was part of the flood of generals that pushed out discussion of everything else, this is true, but it was actually banned from being discussed on /vg/ (because vns aren't videogames) AND /jp/ (because it's western) for the first few days because the mods are actually retarded. So technically /ksg/ was banned from being discussed on real boards
As a result, there was a constant spam on Yea Forums, /vg/, /jp/, and most memorably Yea Forums of /ksg/ threads until the mods finally caved and allowed it on /vg/
Anyone else remember that drug addicted psycho janitor Homura?

Nope. I made notes about Shizune's characterization and how it'd be a better choice to have the MC learn signing since a lot of signing deaf people resent writing notes and will even refuse to read lips. I have experience with deaf people and thought it'd add good authenticity and progress to her route.
I got ignored and Misha became a thing. Probably not a lot lost in the process.

Katawa Dick can cure even the most hopeless porn addicts

Attached: emi.jpg (800x600, 348K)

Hisao does learn Sign in Shizune's route which was intended from Raita's original concept
Shizune does resent communicating through writing unless necessary and doesn't read lips though in the alpha draft it's a plot point that she can read lips but chooses to hide that from people
Why are you larping?

Attached: Katawa Shoujo.jpg (921x1394, 236K)

Shizune's route was terrible regardless user. You'd figure Yea Forums would make a better game about broken people.

I remember the old Bromont threads from back when the game was in development (and then awhile after it came out). Not as good as his monstergirl stories, but still some fun gems in it.

I don't. I remember that there was a picture posted on Yea Forums in like 2006 or 07, with handicapped girls that was discussed heavily. We used to make threads where we talked about making a VN with handicapped girls and in the beginning it was pretty shit because everyone wanted to do either art or story, no one was able to program / do music or voices. We then moved to a skype group before the forum was created. I thought it wouldn't go anywhere so i just stopped "contributing" with my shitty drawings. Then like 5-6 years later it turned out they had actually made a game.

>in the alpha draft it's a plot point that she can read lips but chooses to hide that from people
That came from me. I have deaf people in my family and have done a lot of volunteering with the type.

Yes but the most memorable thing was the sticky with the release date. People were legit crying in joy that day.

>I didn't realize "Comfort her" actually meant "Lay her on the bed and fuck her"

Are you the same guy from Walk her home gently?

If these things were clearer I wouldn't have chosen it

I had just moved in with relatives that lived in a bumfuck nowhere flood zone. Took forever to get to work, was barely making money, friends rarely visited due to the drive, I had no energy to visit friends and I started becoming good friends with alcohol. They were bad times. KS was pretty good though.
