Hello

I'm Aura, the head writer of project Katawa Shoujo. Four years ago, I wrote

a short story about an artist girl who had both of her arms amputated, based

on an omake image from a doujinshi book. Ever since, I've been participating

in an internet project to create a visual novel inspired by that image, Katawa

Shoujo.

If someone had told me four years ago when this project started about all the

things that would happen in the course of making this game become reality,

I wouldn't have believed him. Even now, it's hard to believe that we really

have been together for four years already. For me, Katawa Shoujo is foremost

a shining example of the power of internet in communication and forming

communities. On an average workday, I talk to artists from Australia, writ-

ers from USA, coders from Germany, and now, I'm writing an introduction for

a book that's going to be in Japanese. That is, simply put, amazing.

For us, the journey of creating Katawa Shoujo, and all the people that have

been part of that project, be they developers, translators, fan creators,

friends or simply fans and readers, are an inseparable part from the end

result that we will release this year. By reading this, you also have become a

part of this wonderful experience. We have been incredibly lucky to have so

many people support us and share this journey with us.

Thank you.
