Four Leaf Studios at Comiket 91

This winter Comiket, 4LS will have a booth on day 2 (Friday, 30th December) and we’ll be in the West Hall, table ひ-07a. A new original work by weee, hir and Crud, Dreamer, will be for sale. It’s bilingual (English and Japanese).

In addition, we’re going to have a stock of last Comiket’s artbooks, Beauty and Strangeness (all ages) and The Soft Hour (R-18+) and a limited paperback stock of Crud's book, The Zemlya Conspiracy, (cover art by Doomfest) available.

In attendance, we’ll have Crud, weee, hir, Suriko, Raide, as well as some friends and guests. Not everyone will be at the booth the whole time, so if you’re thinking about stopping by please contact us on Twitter or similar!

And, as a special treat, weee will be having a booth of her own on Day 3 (Saturday the 31st of December), East Hall, table K-27b. She'll bring her new art collection, RKGK BOOK. VCR will be at the booth as well, and Crud be hanging around to help with the translation!

It’s nearly been 5 years since Katawa Shoujo was released, which also means nearly 10 years since I first got involved with the project. That’s pretty amazing to me; I’ve not stayed in the same company for more than 5.5 years, so this feels a little more like family than a job. And I have also realised that Comiket represents nearly my entire non-work social life for the year.

So, we're looking forward to seeing some of you at the battleground that is Comiket. If you’re going to be in Japan at that time it’s really worth stopping by, if only to see the madness with your own eyes. We’ll be waiting for you!

Katawa Shoujo in Italian!

art by weee

Nearly four full years since the release, an Italian translation of the full version of Katawa Shoujo has been released! Impressive tenacity, as with all the other translation projects. Most of the work was done by none other than KS's head editor and fact checker extraordinaire, Silentcook. This puts him at nearly 8 years of actively working on Katawa Shoujo, far more than the mere 3-5 years the rest of 4LS did.

You can download a patch to add Italian localization to Katawa Shoujo from this link.

Here's what Silentcook had to comment:

Fatto.
