COMICUP31 Exhibition Report & Next Event Announcement

We joined COMICUP 31, a doujin event held in Hangzhou, China on May 17–18.
In addition to demo play sessions of Animaloid Girl and the distribution of doujin books, we also ran a special collaboration featuring 8 Japanese indie game titles.



[h2]■Chinese-language Versions of Animaloid Girl Art & Setting Books Now Available![/h2]
As new releases for COMICUP31, we distributed the Chinese-language editions of two books:

• Animaloid Girl Track.2208, an illustration and setting materials collection
  
• Animaloid Girl Track.2408, a visual story book
  

Translation is handled by flankoi, known for their work on ghostpia and Return to Shironagasu Island.

[h2]■ Animaloid Girl Demo Play[/h2]
We set up a demo station within our booth.
Many attendees played the game and shared their impressions with us.
Thank you so much!



[h2]■ Recommendation Campaign Featuring 8 Indie Titles with Strong Character, Worldbuilding, and Atmosphere[/h2]
From the perspectives of “character,” “worldbuilding,” “atmosphere,” and “uniqueness,” we’ve selected 8 Japanese indie games that the Animaloid Girl team deeply respects.

Each of these titles will have free postcards available at our booth!
For this campaign, we specifically invited works rooted in Japanese anime and manga culture.

To help attendees discover each featured title, we handed out “latest edition postcards” for free.
They were so popular that most of them were gone by the second day!
Thank you to everyone who stopped by.

[h3]Animaloid Girl Outing Clear Cards Set – Design by Chosuido[/h3]
This playful and layered card set includes:

• SNS-style frames based on the fictional social platform KOWLOOOOOOOON featured in the game
  
• Character photo cards inspired by instant film (cheki-style)
  
• Background cards of real-life Hong Kong locations for “pilgrimage photography”
  

Our decision to attend COMICUP this time was driven by a desire to help more people learn about Animaloid Girl.
We were deeply encouraged to see so many visitors come specifically for Animaloid Girl and the other featured titles.
Thank you so much!

We'll keep working hard on development!



We will be exhibiting at the Japanese indie game event “DREAMSCAPE#3”!
This is a real event featuring only visual novels and will be held on May 24th in Shinjuku.

At the event, we will be launching a brand-new ZINE titled “Kowloon Core.”
Its concept is: "Tracing the development of Animaloid Girl through columns and interviews to delve deeper into the essence of the work."



This folded booklet is printed using the retro-style “Risograph” technique in four colors, giving it a warm, textured finish.
