07th Expansion’s BT passed away from illness
Ryukishi07 has announced on his diary that BT who has been working with 07th Expansion since the start of the Higurashi series has passed away to an unnamed illness on the 10th of July. He has been in charge of the 07th Expansion website as well as various scripting and debugging.
Ryukishi07 writes that BT was not only his best friend but also was his first reader, Higurashi and Umineko were almost like they were written just to surprise BT.
BT was also the person who suggested putting up Higurashi ep 1 for free download on the website, which caught the attention of a lot of people, and it was one of the main factors leading to Higurashi’s popularity now.
