A very happy fifteenth to our beloved #素晴らしき日々! A massive influence on our work, no doubt!

Hi, this releases today. I helped with the new visual options in the console port, technically that makes this the first console game I've worked on to be released! Been a fan of Touhou Project for a very very long time so this feels a bit surreal to me.

My hero 07th Expansion is aware of my work. Thank you syad snug esor from the bottom of my heart. Crying a little cry of joy right now.

As of tomorrow, playtesting of Tsui no Sora will extend to a streamed playthrough of the English translation to a small, private group of trusted friends — no, I am not extending invitations — meaning that it will see its first audience proper. So excited for the public release.

For people who weren't able to attend my panel at Anime Boston in May, here are those recommendations I made to newcomer English readers. These are all very essential titles within the sphere of English audiences, especially the first image. Give 'em a try.

I got to hug and dap up Tim Kinsella tonight. Thank you Cap'n Jazz. I've been waiting most of my life for this night.

The Rosa ✞ Juliet demo is top 4 in free role playing games for this week! If you haven't played it yet, please do! It means a lot to me. If you have, please leave a comment and a review! itch.io/games/free/gen…

Celebrating the end of the playtest stream the only way we knew how.

May you all have a wonderful End Sky. Quality assurance is nearing completion, and the Tsui no Sora team is just about ready for release - it's just unfortunately not here in time for 7/20. The release will be in your hands, by the latest, within the next few weeks.

Is the Death Stranding 2 cover a reference to the GACKT promo cover for Metal Gear Solid 2?

Rest in power, Prince of Darkness. Here's to the most cartoonishly, mustache-twirlingly, pure fucking evil riff ever laid to tape. Sabbath forever. 🤘 youtu.be/-c6ytPRSv-I

Steam and Itch taking down games they host is a problem for game preservation - and of course, I'm not a fan of people trying to censor what creators can express. This is one of the many reasons Ren'Py is free, and why its license means I can't censor what is made with it. 1/2

As a reminder, given the unfortunate news regarding the censorship and removal of 18+ and otherwise "offensive" material from storefronts like Itch, ena project will release our work only on our own site, which will launch in time to download Further Skies and all later work.

For additional clarification, Further Skies itself is an all-ages release, but blueprints for upcoming original 18+ material are already in place. Eroticism is at the heart of the novel game as a medium for expression. No corporate neo-puritanism can erase our culture.
