About the bundle:
"The Cave Trilogy" is the first trilogy I have planned, although I'm not yet a seasoned developer. However, throughout the process of creating this trilogy, I have slowly learned many techniques. "UFO" is the second part, and unlike "Cave Fiction," it leans more towards expression and stream-of-consciousness. So, those who resonate with it may be very happy, while those who don't might find it dull.

After the release of "UFO," I will update "Cave Fiction," primarily to optimize the translation.

In the future, aside from "Chest," you might already notice the silhouette of the third part in the bundle's promotional image. I won't say much more here, so stay tuned!

Here, I would like to express my gratitude to the friends who have helped me, whether it was in music production or translation. Independent games are already a niche area, and the denpa genre is even more niche within that. Thank you to all the friends who have supported me.

A：As the title suggests, I am honored to announce that the Japanese BETA version and English testing version of "Cave Fiction" have been released. In this testing version, a resolution option has been added. (However, you need to clear your progress and restart the game.) I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. iugennnnn and the couple, keshan sixin, for their support in creating the Japanese and English versions. (Bows)

B：At the same time, I am very pleased to announce the release of my new game, "Chest."
In "Chest," you'll see our charming character, Sandy, return in a new form.


C:Furthermore, "Cave Fiction" will be having its lowest discount ever.
[h3]The discount period is from April 30th to May 7th.[/h3]

Ciao!
Everyone! "CAVE FICTION" is about to have its BIG promotional discount, offering the lowest historical price so far, from November 21st to 28th.


This is the first piece of news.
Next is about multiple languages, with the Japanese version progressing as planned.


After that, there's news about a new work, "PICCIONI BROS".


Once again, I can share some sketches of the game, and these are still in progress.
Thanks again for your attention.

Salute!

Hello, It's been a while since I posted an update. The reason I haven't been able to provide updates isn't because I've given up on this game or that all my previous promises have disappeared. The situation is as follows:



Due to being busy with a full-time job recently and going on vacation for a few days at the end of last month, I've been quite exhausted. Perhaps it's because I hadn't gone far from home in the last few years due to the COVID-19 situation, and traveling was quite tiring after three years.


Currently, the progress of the English version is basically replaced, but the quality of the translation still needs to be verified in future steps. The progress of the Japanese version is about halfway.

Actually, the progress is a bit slower than I had imagined. Originally, I had planned to send this "update" post after the completion of the Japanese and English versions and would include the announcement of the next work. However, plans change, and it seems that the progress expected to be completed in October may be delayed. But the good news is that the progress for the next work hasn't changed.


So, what kind of story is the next work? In the original plan, this post would include some settings and materials for public disclosure, and at the same time, a new game store page would be opened. But given that I don't have anything particularly presentable, I'll quietly include some at the end.
About the information on the next work:

The next work, “PICCIONI BROS," tells the story of three brothers and sisters living in the world of PICCIONI. The eldest brother, Pollo, is a white-collar worker for the largest local company, working from nine to five and burdened with a mortgage; the second brother is a rebellious teenager who left home early in pursuit of the true nature of the world; and the youngest sister is still in school. In a seemingly peaceful and happy life, the story begins with the morning when the eldest brother, Pollo, wakes up, and it continues to cycle, revealing the terrifying and brutal truth hidden in the seemingly peaceful and happy world of PICCIONI.



“PICCIONI BROS" is a story that follows "CAVE FICTION," which stated that chickens are evil creatures. “CAVE FICTION" was about love, being loved, and the contemplation of being lost. In contrast, "PICCIONI BROS" explores work, society, and self-worth. In “CAVE FICTION," I confidently declared it as a philosophical exploration, and similarly, in "PICCIONI BROS," I also included some literary work tributes.


Lastly, thank you for reading this post. Salute.
