A long while back, this dude named Raita (known for his stuff under the Zettai Shoujo moniker and more recently for his character designs in Valkyria Chronicles) drew this omake page showing off the characters of a potential game called Katawa Shoujo (Disability Girls or 方輪少女 if you prefer).  As you might expect from the name, all the characters that you can persue are uniquely disabled.

(That's what these graphic adventures and visual novels are all about right?  Sympathizing with someone's sadness?  What's more sad than having permanent disability?)

Anyways, it was just a gag.  Most people out there took a look at the page (or glanced at the picture on 2chan/4chan), had a laugh, then promptly forgot about it.  I know I did.

Little did I know that since 2007, "an international team of amateur developers" has been working on turning Raita's vision into reality.

I really don't know what else to say so just go check out the recently opened website and the developers blog.

Huh.
