Touhou: Fading Illusion News

Greetings friends! Today we are happy to present you a new DLC for our game!

In the Underworld Chapter, the narrative will be carried out by Rin Kaembyo, Satori Komeiji, along with Seiji Kijin, who accidentally joins them. Together, they'll be searching (or pretending to search) for a cure for a mysterious disease that threatens to kill all the animals in the Palace of Earth Spirits. However, as we all know, a large part of the iceberg is usually hidden from view, and in order to fully realise the scale of the danger, you need to get down from its top and look under the water.

We remind you that at the moment only the first day is available in this chapter. In it you will find:

• 1.5-2 hours of reading.
  
• 2 plot choices leading to three different outcomes.
  
• Over 10 plot CG in different scenes.
  
• 8 characters with their own detailed sprites.
  
• Based Koishi with many professions!
  

.

Unfortunately, Brazilian Portuguese and Japanese translations are not yet available, but we are working on them and will try to add them as soon as possible.

Also in this update we have improved the in-game links system, fixed some bugs in the code, typos in the text and defects in the script. If you find a bug or have any questions or suggestions, feel free to post them in the relevant threads, and if you want to praise or criticise us, we are always happy to receive your reviews on the game or DLC.

Also, to celebrate the release of the new DLC for the next 2 weeks, Destitute and Underworld Chapters will be discounted by 5% and 25% respectively. In some countries, such as Kazakhstan, Ukraine, India, Indonesia and Vietnam, the prices for both add-ons have been additionally reduced because Steam automatically charged an quite high price for some countries and we didn't pay attention to it initially.

We hope you enjoy our work! See you soon!

Greetings, friends! We hope that each of you has had a good start to the school year or a work month without overtime.

For us, however, the month started with the fact that several artists from our team need a little more time to finish the necessary images, so the release of the Underworld Chapter is delayed until September 20.

As a reminder, this chapter will only have the first day available at the time of release, but it will contain:

• 1.5-2 hours of reading.
  
• 2 plot choices leading to three different outcomes.
  
• Over 10 plot CGs in different scenes.
  
• 8 characters with their own detailed sprites.
  
• Based Koishi!
  

We will also be releasing an update for the base game and Destitute Chapter at the same time as the release of the Underworld Chapter, adding new articles, one new track, and expanding some endings. We hope you enjoy it!

Greetings friends, today we'd like to tell you a couple things about the upcoming DLC release and related changes.

• First of all, let's note that the Underworld Chapter will only have the first day available at the time of release, which will consist of about 2 hours of reading and 2 choices leading to 3 outcomes. Roughly the same as the first day of the Destitute Chapter, which became available a year ago.
  
• The narrative will be told from three perspectives at once, with Rin Kaenbyou, Satori Komeiji, and Seija Kijin as the protagonists.
  
• The DLC will be sold at the same price as the Destitute Chapter.
  
• We also plan to lower the price of this and future add-ons in some countries such as Kazakhstan, Ukraine or India, as well as regional prices in USD to make the price look more appropriate in comparison to the average salary in these countries.
  
• We plan to release the DLC in the second half of August.
  

Due to the fact that we will now have 2 DLCs available at once, we have changed the subscription terms for our Patreon and now you will be able to get any of the chapters of your choice for each month of your subscription. See the pinned announcement on our page there for details.

For now, you can add the Underworld chapter to your wishlist, and we'll announce the exact release date in a little while. Bye, we will see you again soon!

Greetings, friends! Today we are ready to present you an update of the game. It contains:

• Translation for day 2 of the Destitute Chapter into Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and French.
  
• Japanese translation of the Prologue.
  
• Music room.
  
• Choices map.
  
• A few new images for the Destitute Chapter.
  
• Some fixes in text and display of some images.
  

This update does not include the additional Destitute Chapter story content that we talked about in the previous news. It will be in the next update that we are currently working on.

Also, please note that we are currently looking for translators for Japanese and Traditional Chinese and editor for English translations, as the translators on our team can no longer devote enough time to translation. If one of these languages is your native language (or you are confidently fluent in it), and you have the desire and free time to participate in the game's development, you can write to our working e-mail ([email protected]) or go to our Discord server, where you can contact the main developer. In addition to knowledge of Japanese or Traditional Chinese, decent knowledge of English or Russian is also required to communicate with the developers and understand the game text.

Please be warned, however, that due to our very limited budget we will not be able to pay for your work immediately and therefore we offer you to participate on a mostly volunteer basis.

Greetings friends! Today we would like to announce our plans for the rest of this year.



1. First of all, we would like to inform you that we have decided to do 2 chapters in parallel to be able to release more updates. As we said earlier, a lot of the sprites and backgrounds will be reused in the different chapters, which means that as we've created the Destitute Chapter, we've accumulated a significant amount of material for the Underworld Chapter. It will take us a two or three months to finish all the necessary material, and approximately in early fall we will be able to release the first day of the chapter. We won't make any specific promises for now, so that we don't have to finish everything in a hurry like we did with the last update.

2. As for Destitute Chapter - we plan to do a third day at the end of this year. As with the Underworld chapter, a lot of the material will be reused, and the work will be mostly behind the new CG and text.

3. The Portuguese and French translations of the second day of the Destitute Chapter are almost ready and will be released soon with an update, which will also significantly lighten its weight by optimizing the resources used. The Spanish translation is a bit delayed at the moment, but we will try to release it as soon as possible. In addition, we have almost finished the Japanese translation of the Prologue and will probably release it separately from the Destitute Chapter translation.

4. Also we are currently working on a big update that will add a music room, an in-game choices map, missing articles and dictionary illustrations, and expand some scenes. All in all, it will make for about 10-20 minutes of reading time. The choice map will look something like this:



You will see all scenes as blocks with "?" if you haven't reached them yet, and blocks of already passed scenes will contain a brief description of events. We may add a pop-up window with a more detailed description of the scene, because the novel is large and many players may forget some of the previous events. Expect an update closer to the beginning of June.

Don't forget about us! See you soon!
