Katawa Shoujo Android port

 

 

 

Latest version: http://tiny.cc/KS-v5-Android-apk (Dev-Host)

                http://tiny.cc/KS-v5-Android-data (Dev-Host)

                  This time it comes in two pieces for your convenience.

                  Place the obb (data) file in /sdcard/Android/obb/vn.katawashoujo/ on your device.

                  Install the apk as usual.

                  If you do not place the data file in the correct folder you will get a message

                  saying: "Download failed because the resources could not be found".

                  It works the same way for devices without an sdcard. You need to have

                  /Android/obb/vn.katawashoujo/main.5.vn.katawashoujo.obb on your external storage.

                               

                http://tiny.cc/KS-v5-Android-monolithic (Dev-Host)

                  Here's a one-piece version (334MB in a single apk) for those who had problems

                  with the obb expansion file.

                http://tiny.cc/KS-v4-Android-lowmemory (Dev-Host, use only if your device has less

                                                        than 512MB of RAM and/or Katawa Shoujo is

                                                        randomly force-closing.)

                http://tiny.cc/KS-v2-Android (Dev-Host, no waiting, captchas and similar annoyances,

                                              why didn't I know about it before?)

IMPORTANT: You will maybe lose your progress when you update.

           If you are unable to save your game after updating you will have to clear the app's

           data from the settings menu.

 

What works:

 - The text and the script

 - Backgrounds and characters

 - Particles (e.g. snow)

 - Sound effects

 - Music

 - Saving and loading

 - Transitions (as of 12 June 2013)

 

What doesn't:

 - Videos between acts

 

 

Here "crash" actually means "exception screen with an ignore button".

 

v5 - known bugs:

     - The note window, it seems to actually be a problem in Ren'Py

   - fixes:

     - All transitions work now

 

   A lot of bugs that I had to work around have been fixed in Ren'Py itself so this version is made

   completely from scratch. Let me know if there are any bugs I missed.

 

v4 - known bugs:

     - The note window, see v2

   - fixes:

     - Fixed the crash that happened at the end of each route.

       Seems like 4LS considered the fact that they might want to make a related project as some point

       and used "multipersistent storage". Basically, it allows two different Ren'Py games to share

       progress information.

       From what I understand, it just notes which ends you have seen but no information is ever

       read from the file.

       Since Ren'Py for Android doesn't have multipersistent storage implemented yet I have just

       removed it from the script.

 

v3 - known bugs:

     - The note window, see v2

     - A crash possibly related to saving some information after finishing a route has been reported.

       I am yet to look into it.

   - fixes:

     - Fix for the "JPEG loading error" that was occurring on some devices (awaiting feedback! -> FIXED)

     - Fixed two bugs in Shizune's route related to the "[" character and double-speak.

 

v2 - known bugs:

     - The note window (e.g. the note from Hisao's mom and dad) doesn't show up if the background

       is set to tile. Instead I've set it to stretch for the time being. The text doesn't strictly

       follow the horizontal lines on the note anymore but it doesn't look bad.

       This is also present in v1.

       If anyone reading this has any experience with Ren'Py, let me know.

     - Emi-knockdown and Shizune-Lilly-showdown scenes have been reported to cause an exception

       (JPEG loading error) on Android 4.1.1 (clicking on "Ignore" skips a few lines but you can continue)

       I haven't been able to reproduce the issue on my Android 4.0.4 device.

   - fixes:

     - Fixed the credits screen crash

     - Hopefully fixed all crashes related to character transitions (if you encounter any, email me)

 

v1 - known bugs:

     - On a couple of points in the game you'll get an "An exception has occurred" screen with a bunch

       of technical information. Just click on "Ignore" and you're good to go.

     - The credits on the end will keep throwing exceptions and you can't really continue no matter how

       many times you click on "Ignore"

 

(and any kind of feedback really, I like to know that someone appreciates my work, just looking at the download statistics doesn't really cut it)

 

 

 

Q: It crashes at the loading screen! What is this shit?

A: Are you using CyanogenMod on a Samsung Galaxy device? If so, there seems to be a bug in CM which causes an error. Try sending a bug report to CM devs.

 

Q: My phone doesn't have 300MB of free internal memory!

A: Try this:

http://www.howtogeek.com/114667/how-to-install-android-apps-to-the-sd-card-by-default-move-almost-any-app-to-the-sd-card/

If that doesn't work and the demand is high enough, I could try to separate the script and the game data completely, so you could place all the music and sprites somewhere on your SD card and install an apk that's just a few MBs large.

A2: v5 can now be downloaded as two separate files, one of which you can put on your sdcard

 

Q: Where are the save files located?

A: /data/data/vn.katawashoujo/files/saves but you can't access them without rooting your phone.

 

Q: Can I use the save files from the PC version?

A: No, they are incompatible due to differences between the Ren'Py versions.

   What you can do is tick "Skip unread text" in the options menu (something that a surpisinly large amount of people don't know about),

   enter skip mode and just skip through everything you've already read.

   KS on Android is using a much more recent version of Ren'Py so skip mode is a lot faster than on PC.

 

Q: Are you from Indonesia?

A: No. A link to this paste has appeared on what seems to be a popular Indonesian forum.

   KSG threads on 4chan are the only place where I posted the link myself.

 

Q: How can I contact you?

A: Send an email to [email protected]

 

 

 

This was previously a paste containing a Python script that operated on the Windows version

of Katawa Shoujo and compiled it into an Android package.

It was designed to avoid the complications of the Creative Commons license which forbids

distributing derivative works. However after I saw how many bugs were introduced by the

incompatibility between the different versions of Ren'Py I decided to drop that idea and

just upload compiled versions here.

If anyone is interested in changes that are required, drop me a note here: [email protected]

For historical reasons the script is now available here: http://pastebin.com/u1ubhLMN
