![]() There are no trademarks on Katawa Shoujo. I know a couple of IP lawyers and they live for this kind of fight something that sits in the borderlands of the law. But if you really cared about Katawa Shoujo, or the visual novel industry, or all of these fans, you wouldn't attempt to blatantly leech off of the success KS did. ![]() And I won't sit here and say you should scrap everything and start new. I won't doubt your ability to make a visual novel in some capacity (Your 'beta' will tell that). To all of those developers who have worked tirelessly to build themselves from the ground up, you insult them. They just want to make something special. But they have taken the game as inspiration, and aim not to steal fans by falsely claiming an association with the original game. Have you not seen the world of visual novels around you? There are so many indie developers who have started as groups who want to make something to capture that essence, that magic of Katawa Shoujo. You could have distanced yourselves from 4 Leaf Studios, and made it clear you have no affiliation in any way, shape or form, but you didn't. You cannot claim ignorance or coincidence when your game has already attempted to be a second version of Katawa. You could have changed the sprites of characters to be different, especially considering the awful Rin/Emi hybrid, but you didn't. You could have changed the story to be different from what has literally already been done by Katawa Shoujo, but you didn't. You could have changed the logo from a Katawa Heart Logo ripoff, but you didn't. You faced the criticism, and this has been your response to everything that has happened?
