Tales of Seikyu News

[h2]Welcome back, Seikyuians![/h2]

We're now less than a week out from our launch into Early Access and we couldn't be more excited! It's been a super busy time for us, so let's take a look what's waiting just around the corner. ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

[h2]😌Seabert's resting before the big day! [/h2]

Not only is Seabert absolutely adorable (if we do say so ourselves!) but he's also taking some time to find his zen after providing you with some Seikyu Guides! We've been working on Seabert's yukata outfit and sorting any bugs, and we're very pleased with how it looks. What do you think of this Spa Ready ensemble?



[h2]💖Love is (almost) in the air... [/h2]

Romance is a key part of our game, and we're having so much fun creating characters for you to get close to. From last week's sneak peek to an almost full reveal - here's some never-seen-before artwork of our new character's alluring expressions! Credit to our amazing artists who have captured these emotions beautifully.



[h2]🐾 An earth-wolf is headed for Seikyu! [/h2]

We've started the low-poly modelling process for an Aardwolf-Chea. Aardwolves are very cute, nocturnal creatures with long sticky tongues! They're part of the Hyena family. This is a Kickstarter Backer specific pet that we wanted to share a sneak peek of... (⸝⸝> ω

Goodness, we’re excited about our Early Access launch! In case you missed our announcement, you’ll be pleased to know that Tales of Seikyu will launch in Steam Early Access on the 21st of May 2025. It’s not long now until you’ll be boarding the boat to Seikyu! \(0^◇^0)/

If you haven’t already gathered by now, we’re real big on sharing as much information with our community as possible! We want you to know what to expect at Early Access and what’s coming in updates throughout our Early Access journey and as we approach 1.0. We’ve been working very hard on bringing the magical world of Seikyu to life, and we can’t wait for you to see everything we’ve worked on so far. As a reminder, Tales of Seikyu will be launching in Early Access, which means we’re still working hard on making Tales of Seikyu the very best it can be based on your wonderful feedback. So, please let us know what you think! Now, without further ado, let’s take a look…

[h2]What’s Coming to Tales of Seikyu at Early Access![/h2]

• Story Chapter One: Experience the first chapter of your Seikyu story, explore the countryside, and take part in early-game quests (with more coming in subsequent updates).
  
  
• First 3x Yokai Forms: Each with their own unique powers. From the powerful boar and aquatic slime all the way to the soaring tengu. We’ll be refining these yokai powers throughout Early Access for even more mythical might!
  
  
• Heart Events with 6 villagers: Love is in the air. Build your relationships up to level 4 with Nyotengu, Hephaestus, Musashi, Liliana, Yohji, and Anna. More romanceable villagers on the way!
  
  
• 40+ Seeds/Crops: Featuring seasonal growth mechanics!
  
  
• Farm Expansions: With so many crops to grow, you’re gonna want to buy some new plots of land to farm on. We’d love your feedback on farming, as we know this is an area many of you enjoy, so please tell us what you think when you try it at Early Access.
  
  
• Puzzles: Rumour has it that there are spirits deep within the fox ruins who offer puzzles to only the most worthy of yokai.
  
  
• Casino & Tavern: Help bring a little excitement to Seikyu by building new businesses for the community! We’ll be working on adding new features for community buildings such as these, so if there’s something you want to see, make sure to let us know.
  
  
• 50+ Recipes: Cook crops, foraged items, and fish into delicious recipes! Eat them yourself for unique buffs or gift them to villagers (just remember that not everybody’s tastes are the same).
  
  
• 100+ Pieces of Furniture: Whether you prefer cute and cozy or a traditional Eastern aesthetic, there’s something for everyone.
  
  
• Furniture & Clothing Customisation: Express yourself through your clothes and home! We’re also making a point of asking the community what they’d like to see in terms of new outfits and customisations over on our social media channels, so make sure to follow us on X and Bluesky to take part.
  
  
• Boss Battles: Go head-to-head with the first two bosses. Let’s hope your combat training with Nyotengu pays off! We know there’s still work to be done on polishing the combat experience and we’d love your feedback on how this feels at Early Access so that we know what to improve on the road to 1.0.
  
  
• Carp Festival: Seikyu’s spring festival, with fun activities and good vibes. We want to make the festivals of Seikyu truly magical, and we’d love your feedback on what else you’d like to see at these community events.
  
  
• Language Localization: Tales of Seikyu will be available in English, German, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese at Early Access launch. If you spot any localisations that you think need adjusting or wording differently, please let us know so we can correct them. We’ll be adding more languages throughout our Early Access journey.

[h2]Coming Throughout Our Early Access Journey or at 1.0[/h2]

There’s so much more coming to Tales of Seikyu throughout our Early Access journey, and we plan to deliver fresh content and features in batches across our various updates. We’ll keep sharing information and announcements with you the community and we’ll do our best to let you know which features are coming with which updates.

• More Story Chapters & Quests: From chapter 2 and beyond, we’ll be fleshing out the story of Tales of Seikyu and adding plenty more quests.
  
  
• New Yokai Transformations: With their own unique abilities.
  
  
• Romance: Even more romanceable NPCs and additional heart events.
  
  
• Marriage: For when you’re ready to take things to the next level.
  
  
• Customisations: Hair styles, hair colour, skin tones, and more!
  
  
• Pets: Maybe now you’ll finally stop joking that Kon is your pet (she hates that, btw!).
  
  
• Ranching: Raise cute animals on your farm. From cows to capybara!
  
  
• Hotsprings: Visit Seikyu’s restorative hot springs and meet the mysterious girl who works there.
  
  
• Festivals: Join the villagers for seasonal celebrations!
  
  
• Boss Battles: As you uncover the secrets of Seikyu, you’ll encounter more powerful bosses. Keep your swords sharpened, adventurers!
  
  
• New Outfits: What can we say? We’ve got a passion for fashion.
  
  
• New Furniture: 100+ pieces of furniture at Early Access launch was just the beginning!
  
  
• Bug Fixes & Optimisations: For a smoother Seikyu experience.
  
  
• And More: Additional languages, more farm expansions, NPC birthdays, new casino games, and more!

We hope you’re excited to embark upon this adventure with us, and we’re literally counting down the days until you can set sail and start your new life in the countryside. We want you to know that we’re so very grateful for your support as we approach our Early Access launch, and we can’t wait to hear what you think of the magical world we have created. We’re counting on your feedback and bug reports to help us make Tales of Seikyu the kind of game you won’t be able to put down. In the meantime, don’t forget to wishlist the game and follow us on Discord, X, Bluesky, Instagram, TikTok, and Reddit.

[h2]Hey Seikyuians! [/h2]

We want to introduce you to a new regular series diaries from the Tales of Seikyu development team.

It’s been a busy week with lots of progress on our art, bug squashing, and finalising the designs for our villagers’ rooms, as well as implementing feedback and much more! Dive in to see what’s been happening the past week and what we plan to do next as we journey towards our Early Access Launch! ٩(◕‿◕)۶


[h2]🎨Art & Design[/h2]

Our talented artists have been hard at work and they’ve completed Anna’s Normal, Shocked and Blush expression portraits. This daydreamer has a lot on her mind, so we do hope you’ll have a chat with her and become a friendly face she can rely on in the village.



Other art updates we’ve got to share this week include progress on Uozumi’s portrait expressions; we’re nearly there!



Furniture and rooms have also been given a lot of love as we have designed and created more of the cottages to reflect the wonderful personalities of the yokai that live there. Want to guess who lives in this wonderful space? It’s our wonderful Mika, she’s got great taste!



[h2]🐞Bug Squashing[/h2]

As is to be expected when spring or summer makes its arrival, so do the bugs - and game development is no different! We’re hard at work swatting, squashing and shooing bugs away as we create a more polished experience in Seikyu. We’ve resolved 141 bugs in the last week and we’re focused on resolving more to enhance the gaming experience.


[h2]🌸 Sneak Peek [/h2]

Many of you loved seeing our new male romanceable option revealed in our Next Fest Feedback update and we wanted to give you a further sneak peek into the creation.

He’s shaping up slowly but surely. ( ˘ ³˘)~♥



That’s it for our first Developer Diary. We are planning to do more of these in the future, so please stay tuned for more updates on our progress.

We also hope it’s a nice way to pass the time before Early Access Launch. 🌸

Before you go, we’d like to encourage you to wishlist our game (if you already have, you are amazing✨) as it’s one of the best ways to support Tales of Seikyu.

Also, give us a follow on any of these platforms for regular news, giveaways, updates and so much more: Discord, X, Bluesky, Instagram, TikTok, and Reddit.


Until next time,
