@moogsparfait-

Hi . . . how's it going? Haven't seen a post by you for six months or so, hope that you haven't lost interest! Were you ever able to fix the problem I was having when playing on my mac, where there was an exception popping up after each screen?

Your story sounds very interesting, and the art is first class, so I am hoping that you will be doing another release soon.

Hi, sorry I've been busy, the project is still ongoing, but slow since Aleema left. I post small updates on my personal twitter:

I'm not going to do releases for some time, I need to add a lot more polish before I do it again I decided. I've been concentrating on my primary project, a card game called Danmaku!! It will be released in January so it's been taking up my attention.

Sorry about all this.

As someone who is

gay

an econ major, i really can't wait to see the final game!! Looks absolutely lovely : D

Hello all, long time no see. Well Danmaku!! blew up in popularity and has been my main focus for the past 3 years. We even released an expansion 2 months ago. My daughter is also 4-years-old now and no longer requires constant attention, so I find I have much more time to work on The Parasol Festival! I'm pushing towards the finish line, but even before that all those small moments of free time have added up over the years.

To recap completion:

Script: 100%
Script Programming: 95% in editing phase
Art: 100%
Music: 100%
Shopkeeper Minigame: 80%
Magic Item Barter Minigame: 80%

In the coming weeks I'm going to complete the programming and toss an alpha over to my testers for them to break.







I guess the good thing about posting is that I immediately notice all the little areas that could use improvement...

If you wanna help me out, buy Danmaku!! and Lunatic Extra, every sale reduces my Stress Points.

Damn. I was hoping to get the demo before you pulled it. haha. Anyway, the concept looks great, Art looks awesome. Is Aleema still part of your team?

I'll have to wait until you upload the fixed demo

[moogsparfait]

Aleema, Traumendes_Madchen, and Steamgirl were all hired for various tasks in the past, but currently I am the only remaining programmer.

[Gryphbear]

Ohhh. Okay. That's cool. I wasn't sure - You've probably learned a ton since you've started this VN and the others, right?

I though that this project was dead, glad to see I was wrong.

Thanks for the update! I'm really excited to see your progress on the game. The artwork looks beautiful!

[chujnia]

any progress?

[moogsparfait]

Something something, I'm bad at social media.

I'm doing the final minigame programming and I've got the script in the hands of a professional editor. Our current estimated completion is Fall of this year.

Some videos for you.
