Hi musical! I'm happy to hear you're replaying the game again after how long. You've made my day. :D As for the answers to your questions:
1. Wait and see :sly grin:
2. No, I haven't upgraded it yet.
3. See number 2

I gotta wait? But....but....waiting's so hard....*plays GSK again*

Also, I told a friend of mine (who knows nothing at all about this site) about the game and she downloaded it...and she said that the game is wonderful :) It's great, because AFAIK she knew nothing about Ren'ai before I mentioned the game...and now she said she's going to look for other games in the genre...looks like we have a new fan, all because of GSK! (wondering if this is a good thing or a bad thing)

You have to get the sequence (answers) right to get this ending. You're heading in the right direction if "she" shows up around halfway in the game. I suggest you save and mark the sequences that got you there just in case the save loads up improperly. Good luck! ^_^

Wow, another Elena fan. <3
Sounds like she's the most popular by far (based on previous posts). :D

re musical>> Yay! The power of GSK at work!

My friend actually suggested I make a manga out of it. Hrmm.... Would you guys be interested in a manga version?

IMO, it's really well suited for a manga, and being B/W is only a part of it.

The only actual problem would be choosing which path to do, or what angle to take. Maybe something like the Black Pencil manga would be nice, a sort of different story with the essence of the game inside it.

But that kind of depends what story should be told. There was a lot of unexplained things about Arthur himself, mainly his past... and there was a lot of things that just only started... so as for the story, GSK has endless potential.

Great game, BTW. Have I mentioned that? I have. It doesn't matter. :wink:

Anime made from manga are often quite different from the original manga. Maybe ecipse could do something like that. There's no reason to bind yourself to the original game. It could take it's own path, even if it's not in the game. You could even add new characters, or plot elements.

*opens Club-B booth*
*waits*
*waits some more...*
And I have all these nice badges :(
Isn't there anyone?
Of course strict rules apply. You can't join Club-B with the "We love Elena" badge! :evil:


Back on topic, I think it's generally a good idea to make the manga. But, you have to really think about whether that is worth it, whether that will hinder your other projects and most importantly if you want to do it as well. Because should this be just giving in to the public, I don't think it's a good idea.

It's really hard to describe what a feeling it was when snowshine made the BP manga - it wasn't just the fact that it was a wonderful story and beautifully drawn, it was also the feeling that someone did it from her free will, maybe they liked the story - and without me doing anything to encourage this, no poll, no contest, nothing. Very similar to a certain picture I got on January 15th, 2005, actually ;)

It doesn't mean that a manga by the same author who made the game is different, but what I like about Kykuit so much is all the small things and the atmosphere, and the fact that it was done for NaNoRenO with the constraints, and that it was b/w, and that it had this light, yet strong romantic feel to it, and that it had a special summer mood.... This game actually breathes!

And so, I'd like the manga to feel just as special. And IMO that can only happen when the situation and the mood is right for actually drawing it. Ultimately, it's up to you to know whether that time has come.

hmmm....

Yes, it does. It was inspired by it actually. =)

This isn't the part with the wings-ravine art, is it? I get there always.

.

I have been doing that while I keep getting 1-6

Yeah, she has black hair. So, does the teacher.

The halfway is when, depending on what you've said, one girl who has the most favorable opinion of you will talk to you without interruption. :)
