Long Live The Queen News

[p]Life comes at you fast - especially when you're a princess and everyone is trying to kill you![/p][p]The followup to Long Live The Queen has finally been released, but if you missed the launch discount, we've set up a special bundle where you can save on the purchase of Galaxy Princess Zorana if you already own LLTQ:[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink](Or save on both if you don't yet own either.)[/p][p]What does the future hold for the LLTQ universe? Well, right now there are still some stretch goal elements from the Zorana kickstarter which are intended to be added as free updates to the game next year. After that, I'm going to need to take a break from political backstabbing and work on something a little simpler for a while. [/p][p]Will there ever be a third game in this bundle? Might we someday return to Nova? It's not impossible... but nothing is planned right now![/p][p]In the meantime - good luck finding your Lumen crystal![/p][p][/p]

[p]Discounts currently available on LLTQ and more![/p][p]
Extra discounts available if purchased with other Hanako Games titles. Enjoy! [/p][p][/p][p]The Galaxy Princess Zorana Kickstarter concluded successfully with all stretch goals met. We are currently waiting for the funds to be processed before we can start setting up for beta access.[/p][p][/p][p]In other Hanako Games news, the bonus post-game dungeon for Magical Diary: Wolf Hall is still in beta-testing, if you're interested in that game. This is not a DLC, this is just a free content update for the game.[/p]

Currently live on the beta branch is an update that will help synchronise the different engine versions that are being used for different operating systems. This is an update primarily affecting WINDOWS USERS (as Mac/Linux users were already on this engine version).

Ideally there should be very few visible changes, only some tiny bugfixes and an added word in one dialog line that was missing by accident.

If you are a Windows user and have a bit of free time, we would like to invite you to switch over to the new engine testing branch, play a bit, and ensure that nothing weird happens (I've tested it myself but more eyes are better!) You can access the beta by right-clicking on the game in tyour library and selecting Properties, then Betas, then select the relevant one from the dropdown (renpy 6.99.12.2 - Testing engine upgrade June 2025)

Official changelog:

• Engine update. This should increase compatiblity with newer machines; it may reduce compatibility with older machines, but machines it breaks are probably also too old to run Steam.,
  
• Minor save screen UI improvement.,
  
• Fixed a crash in the crash handler in some circumstances.,
  
• Fixed a crash saving game logs if you have non-ASCII characters in the path to the save directory on Windows.,
  
• Angle (alternate 3D acceleration) renderer selectable on Win32.,
  
• "who might had sympathy"→"who might have had sympathy" fixed.
  

You can report any issues here!



If you haven't heard already, the Galaxy Princess Zorana kickstarter is currently live! We are aiming for a release by the end of the year, though some of that depends on testing. Look it up on Kickstarter to get in early or claim special offers, or wishlist on Steam to wait for the final release!
