SHINRAI Anniversary & GENBA Extended Demo Release

Categories:

Announcement

by

August 26 marks the day on which our first visual novel project, the murder mystery SHINRAI -Broken Beyond Despair, was released. Three years have passed ever since and back then, I was convinced that we would have already released our next project by now.

Unfortunately, we’re still quite a ways away from that. GENBA no Kizuna became a much bigger, more complex and more ambitious project than what it was originally intended to be. To think that it started as a story about two people being killed in an alleyway…
At the time, dinosaurs hadn’t even been part of the equation, but here we are, with a dinosaur-themed murder mystery!

Nevertheless, even if it’s taking a lot longer than what I initially thought it would, I’m glad that we went down this route. Because I do think that GENBA has turned into something better and more unique now. Besides, we have made a lot of progress, especially over the past year. Progress I am rather proud of and which I have been itching to share with you. And today, that time has finally come.

The extended demo for GENBA no Kizuna is now officially out in the wild!

Weekly Update #261: Extended Demo Release Preparations – Part II

Categories:

Dev Blog, Weekly Update

by

Alright, just a really short update today, as I sadly don’t have much time on my hands (there isn’t much to report, anyway).

As the title already suggests, we are continuing with the preparations for SHINRAI‘s anniversary and the release of the extended GENBA no Kizuna demo on the 26th! Less than ten days to go now, but there is still a lot to do!

First of all, I focused on finishing the anniversary artwork, featuring one of our SHINRAI characters wearing the GENBA police uniform! If you’re a patron, you can check out a new preview of it here. Right now, Natsu is taking care of the coloring.

I have also started preparing our Discord Channel, which we plan to launch very soon. I’m still not too familiar with this whole thing, so there is more for me to look into, but I’m slowly starting to get a hang of things.

Other than that, I did some more beta-testing on the demo itself and will continue to do so, while also getting some more very useful feedback! That’s about it, honestly, so I’m already going to wrap this up (sorry for the short post)!

As always, please enjoy the rest of your weekend and, until next Saturday, take care :3

Alright, so plans have kinda changed for this month. I originally talked about them here, but ever since then, life has happened and thrown a giant wrench into things. Nevertheless, I’m still hell-bent on releasing our extended GENBA no Kizuna demo publicly on the 26th, so in order to make that happen, I’m currently reorganizing myself.

As mentioned in last week’s blog post, now that the extended GENBA no Kizuna demo is almost ready for its public release, I’m planning to get back into and mainly focus on writing again. My next major goal is to finish a first draft for the remaining chapters as soon as possible. Before I can get to that, however, some more research and preparation was in order!

Weekly Update #256: Beta-Testing & New Music

Categories:

Okay, let’s get right into this week’s progress update, shall we? So, how far along has our extended GENBA no Kizuna demo come? Well, it’s actually undergoing testing and tweaking by Natsu right now!

(As you can tell by the screenshot above, Natsu still needs to adjust the positions of some of our character sprites w)

That’s right, Natsu is currently going through the demo, fixing the remaining issues now that the coding is done! I still have to test the whole thing myself afterwards too, so it’s definitely going to take a couple more days, but! The Patreon release is imminent! And in the end, it’s even going to feature a bit more content than I initially planned.

Okay, we’re getting very close now to finally completing our extended GENBA no Kizuna demo!

Natsu has finished coding another scene, which only leaves one more! I’ve already fixed up the script for it and the necessary assets are almost done as well! Just need to revise the remaining DPA entries and create a couple more menu buttons, so who knows? Maybe next week, we can finally announce the demo release for patrons!
