History Trivia / KatawaShoujo

* TheWikiRule: [[http://katawashoujo.wikia.com/wiki/Katawa_Shoujo_Wiki The Katawa Shoujo Wiki]].

** Aura actually said "Sure, why not" in response to the question of whether Yamaku's mascot was a fish.
** When cpl_crud was told the theory that Shizune [[PurelyAestheticGlasses doesn't actually need glasses]], and just wears them to feel important, his reaction was tantamount to this.

* {{Defictionalization}}: The origins of the game itself.

* DoingItForTheArt: One look at [[http://katawashoujo.blogspot.com/2009/05/long-history-of-katawa-shoujo.html this]] blog post should tell you everything you need to know.

* 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

* UrbanLegendOfZelda: There's still people convinced that at one point the developers made routes for Misha and other girls, and [[DummiedOut remains of these scrapped paths can be found in the code of the game]] or can be accessed through some strange means. The devs never intended any other girl besides the main five to be dateable.

* NamesTheSame: This game doesn't have the first [[Manga/{{PitaTen}} overly energetic, pink-haired Misha]].

* OldShame: Not the finished game, but rather the leaked early drafts. As far as the devs are concerned, anything that was cut was cut for a good reason.
-->'''Aura''': So let's say you are eating at a fancy restaurant, a nice three-course dinner. After the dinner you ask the staff if you also could eat the trash and scraps that were the byproduct of the meal you just ate.

** Where exactly is Yamaku?[[note]]The most we know for sure is that it's somewhere near Sendai.[[/note]]

* ShrugOfGod: They are {{Teasing Creator}}s after all. They even say some BlatantLies to troll. Some things they have refused to give a definite answer to include:

* FollowTheLeader: Visual novels featuring protagonists with disabilities like ''VisualNovel/MissingStars'' and ''Love Despite'' rose in the wake of this visual novel through the efforts of this VN's fans.[[note]]''Love Despite'' even had the WorkingTitle "Katawa Shoujo Plus" at first, though it was soon changed.[[/note]]

-->'''Aura:''' ...we (including myself) consider only KS itself official canon, and everything else, including anything we've said or done, is apocryphal.
