if he jus would have kept shut and kept making it as a small personal project on the side, ppl might actually still appreaciate him even if the game wouldnt still be finished.
I played all routes, multiple times. All of them teached me somethjing different, all of the mbrought me to emotions and gave me different feelings. This game is something else. It introduced me to VNs, it made me feel again as I played it in a particularly shitty part of my life. God damn, I miss KS. It's THE one thing that I would delete from my memory if I could, just so I could play and read it for the first time again.
honestly, if i was the dev of lovesick, i'd just have blocked yandev and continued to work on the game, wouldn't even care if he actually commited or not =-=
I just finished playing Saya no Uta for the very first time because I really wanted to experience it. I wasn't disappointed. The writing is absolutely amazing, and like you explained I love how it doesn't rely on cheap jumpscares. The horror is purely psychological which I love! The game is quite short, but is as long as it needs to be.
It's really late but in the game he has really a lot of assets that are made for yandere simulator specific and i think that these you said are the only ones that he did actually buy 😭. For example you can clearly see that animations for example for killing people aren't in aoi pack or any other pack with these character and the lovesick/love letter dev just stole them and a lot of other stuff so it's not kinda fair to say that they made entire game in 2 weeks
White Heart is my favorite and Blanc's base design is awesome but I kinda wish she had an alternative costume in the games that's just MP Test Girl. One of the alternate re-colors already pretty much has the same colors but it's just a re-color.
When I was approximately 15 years old I discovered KS through a RU-vidr who followed a game called Grand Fantasia, he started uploading that visual novel and I decided to watch it, he made the Hanako rune and I remember how I ended up loving KS. Years later, between my 20-21 years, I remembered the game and decided to play it for myself, I did the same Hanako route but this time I felt it and the story was much stronger, I ended up devastated when I finished it, I couldn't be calm, I wanted more and more about this story, so much so that I searched in many places if there was some kind of continuation even if it was written, at the end of the day I found a story on reddit that is a fanfic about the continuation of the story of Hanako's route, even if it is a Many fanfic fans consider it canon because of how well-crafted it is and how faithful it is to the characters. I read reddit for 1 week for more than 3 hours a day to continue with the story and I could perfectly imagine the scenarios, I also investigated and looked for the KS beta, although at a certain point I decided not to continue because I knew that the bad ending of Hanako was very bad and I knew that the simple fact of knowing that ending was going to affect me a lot emotionally. I am currently 23 years old and I still get things from KS, I think it is an excellent visual novel and that I will always remember it with great affection, after all it has been almost 10 years since I learned about it
Haven't finished the game yet (on the route for the second ending right now) but I don't even have an opinion on it the entire thing is just...wow. I hate literally every character but all of them are also interesting Yeah there really is nothing like it, I'm partly relieved about it tbh
So yes, seems the drafing pays off as the early designs are worse than what we have now, meaning messing arround with the designs and plannning them out has made them better.
To this day, the most important thing I've learned through Katawa Shoujo was not to drink whisky on a roof with a guy who acts oddly gay when he gets drunk
3:07 You got it backwards, it was originally Noire, Blanc and Vert, with Neptune being added last minute during development when the game shifted from Fantasy to Sci-fi. Noire, Blanc and Vert still have aspects of their original design, aesthetic and themes; The three of them retain their princess-like design and aesthetic, their names are based on the French translations of colors, Black, White and Green. Neptune was added last minute since none of her early concept art shows any form of princess-like aesthetic and her name is based off of any French color (which probably would've been Purple, or Violette in French)
Update: the guy who recreated the gamen in 2 weeks lied, he had another game that was a recreation to Yandere Simulator called “Heart break”, which he then scrapped, changed his name on the internet, and proceeded to rebrand “Heart Break” as “Love Letter”. He was also allegedly abusive to the volunteers helping him with the game.
I was feeling for Fuminori until the deranged pig r-word Yoh, then I couldnt gave a crap if he and his stupid loli were killed. Man I have complicated feelings for Saya No Uta, I detest and love the story so much is insane....
Right. The other videos I watched had the grossest opinions and the comments on them agreeing with them almost induced me to gouge my eyes out. Like the whole point of the story is to show why Fuminori is able to go into a complete descent into insanity and is robbed of all morality and ethics. And it goes over these weirdos heads bc they’re so depraved
@@huntshunts things like this make me scared to be a girl. i think people dilute their critical thinking in order to keep us in our place when we're upset about such things
@@eden22.7 hmm interesting I’ve never heard of it being put that way before. I also think ppl know when they’re being degenerates but they simply don’t care bc no one will stop them until it too late. And yes definitely scary to be perceived as feminine. Idk the way my previous partners, coworkers, family members and friends who were men all treat me or other women (real or fictional) in such a way that is hard to describe. Like they almost want you to know that they think you’re beneath them. But they do it out of fear and jealousy almost. As well as mostly due to their social conditioning that leads them to believe they’re superior. Yet they also treat you like they wouldn’t know what to do without you either.
@@huntshuntsso you chose to play a eroge visual novel and got pissed at the fanbase being eroge fans and not normies? You can have your own opinions about H-scenes but you're still an outsider looking in, weirdos are the target audience of these types of VNs, if you want more normal discussions maybe stick to consuming normie media
This is quite frankly one of the greatest video essays I have watched on RU-vid. Thank you VagrantZero, and of course thank you KS team for going leaps and bounds beyond what is expected.
