Today, I’m extremely excited to announce that the beta-test phase for SHINRAI Saku – Blooming Beyond Despair has officially begun!
And just in time for the start of our anniversary month, too!
I’ve jumped into my very first playthrough earlier and, thus far, have checked about 1/4 of the game. I can already say that there are a bunch of little things that will need to be fixed, such as sound effects not playing or text having to be formatted differently for better readability, etc. We also have yet to implement some missing effects and the notebook stuff. However, the story itself can be played from beginning to end, so we already wanted to do a first in-game check to see how it looks and plays.
Besides, there’s still enough time to polish things later. For now, the most important task is to get a functioning game build on Steam, since we also gotta keep in mind Valve‘s own verification period. Plus, we want to get a beta build for other people to test ready as well.
So yeah, that’s gonna be our primary objective for the coming days: testing and fixing!
Naturally, that’s what I’m gonna get right back to now. There’s still a lot to do after all, so my apologies for having to keep this post relatively short again. But rest assured, we’ll talk much, much more about our upcoming release in the coming weeks!
In the meantime, I guess I’ll leave you with two more screenshots:
Now please enjoy the rest of your weekend and, until next Saturday, take care ^w^
