Greetings everyone,
Some of the information in this update has been already shared with you in a public comment we posted a few days ago, but we will do so again today so that it reaches all backers.
■ About the current status of the PC version of the game
In the previous update, we told you the scripting of the game had finished and that we were in the final stages of debugging. To be more precise, the debug process was divided into two main tasks:
- Debug of the game engine first to check it runs properly in many environments.
- Debug of the game itself by scripters and play testers so that they can find any possible problems inside the actual game.
At the time of our previous update, we were in the middle of the first task, performing any fixes needed for issues as we encountered them in order to advance to the second stage.
We had planned to share our next update when the second part of debugging started, as we wanted to include in it screenshots and videos of the actual game as it was being tested. However, we kept finding unexpected issues in the first debugging stage that prevented us from moving to the next one, and as such, this update was postponed multiple times as well.
This led us to a long silence in which we couldn't say anything, causing unnecessary stress to our backers, and for this we apologize.
Even though currently we still haven't been able to fix all the issues found during the first debugging phase, this doesn't mean development has been halted. We are working as hard as possible to fix all issues and keep up progressing on the development of the game, please rest assured.
This information pertains to the PC version of the game. About the Vita version, as we shared in previous updates, we are currently in the latest stages of finishing our agreement with Eastasiasoft Limited, and we will inform you about the Vita version in future updates.
■ Future scheduled periodic updates
Due to our lack of prevision about the potential issues that could arise during development, we kept delaying this update for a long time, worrying our backers. Members of the project team have reflected on this and agreed to create a scheduled periodic update.
The method we have chosen to share these updates with you is adding the
Sharin no Kuni project to the list of crowdfunding projects managed by Frontwing, and thus, adding it as well to their "Frontwing Monthly Schedule Update" that takes place every end of the month.
By doing this, we believe we will be able to inform you in a periodic, monthly manner, about small progress updates that do not qualify for an update of their own.
Of course, if there is any significant development in this project, we will post a separate update as usual.
This is everything we can share with you at this moment, and again, please let us apologize for our long silence.
Even though our project team is moving way slower than we would like, we will not abandon the project, and our will to keep moving forward no matter what happens has not changed. We would be delighted if you would stay with us for a little while more.
