* SavedFromDevelopmentHell: The project, until its 4th January 2012 release, was in development for 5 years, a period of time landmarked by at least one almost-total restart, several script re-writes, members of 4LS leaving/shown the door for one reason or another and a few art revisions. It also was very close to death within the first few months of its conception, resulting in the aforesaid restart. Of the 21 or so developers at the end, only three were there from start to finish.
* SerendipityWritesThePlot: In order to keep away from the complexities of programming loads of plot sections and writing loads of dialogue lines that would have to be done if Hisao chose more than one extra-class activity, the story was written so that, if the protagonist is closer to Emi or Rin, he rejects Shizune's invitation to join the Student Council. Even if the other options are not all that time-consuming: Emi's "morning running team" runs at the earliest hours of the day and Rin's art club seems to meet two times a week.
** Also, in order to keep the downloadable game file in a bearable size, the girlfriends' character sprites usually come in only four variations (and even less for the other characters): school uniform, casual clothes, naked (or semi-naked) and a fourth outfit that varies according to the girl's activities (like a physical-ed uniform for Emi and an painting overall for Rin). This explains the students walking around outside classes in their uniforms, even if boarding schools don't mandate them to be worn all the time (for it could risk them being dirtied or damaged), and Emi sleeping in her P-Ed uniform instead on any kind of pyjamas
