Thank you for coming to our booth at TGS

I’m now able to concentrate on my work because I have recovered from fatigue of the TGS expedition.
Thank you everyone who came to play LA-MULANA2 at TGS.

We had a fun because that was rare opportunity for us to watch many people playing our game in front of us. I was surprised that I found even some women and kids were playing it. I thought only pops play our games.

I suppose some people are expecting new information about LA-MULANA2, but we will not open it for a while. We will start to release a bunch of new information at a certain point. Imagine this and that until then.

A hint is “The upside-down Yggdrasil”. You can see that in LA-MULANA, too.
Other hints of LA-MULANA2 are also scattered in the LA-MULANA ruins.

The final day of TGS

tgs10
Well, it’s the final day. I am going to get on the stage of indie game booth twice today.
My 1st talk is scheduled at 10:50. I will appear on “Commentary by the Scene’s Finest: Edition 4” for introducing LA-MULANA. That would be a very short time.
My 2nd talk is scheduled at 16:10. I will appear on “Indie Game Talk Live”.
Surprisingly, Mr. Inafune appears on it, too.

At the night, the start-up party of INDIE STREAM will be held in the head-office building of SCEJ. This event was planed by Naramura and Mr. Agarie who is making TENGAMI from NYAMAM. We have big news only for that party.

We didn’t inform much this time for the people who come to visit our booth in TGS.
We will immediately summarize and release a report on NIGORO’s blog right after TGS.
Some more information about LA-MULANA2 will be also gradually released.

We enjoyed getting your opinions and seeing your comments on LA-MULANA’s blog.
Let’s share those pleasures again.

LA-MULANA2

tgs09

As most people may expect, the new project is “LA-MULANA2”.
We are exhibiting the playable demo at indie game area of TOKYO GAME SHOW.

Our booth is here.

Although I say it is a playable demo, you can only walk about the new field. You may feel the beginning of a new adventure.
But it was made for TGS, we are going to start the development from zero after TGS.
I am sorry to say – I can’t tell any information yet on the special website. But we allow you to photograph our booth. So, people who can’t come to TGS please search photos will be uploaded by visitors of TGS.

Naramura may be absent from our booth tomorrow because I have been busy since morning.
People who would like to meet me might want to come to our booth today.
I may look around the other booths of indie game developers.

Don’t say “LA-MULANA again!” I’d rather I say that.
To tell the truth, this project launched when we began to develop WiiWare version’s LA-MULANA.

Before we set up NIGORO, we originally had an idea that making a game is
such a tough work, so we wouldn’t last unless we publish another game
using same system and replaced data.
LA-MULANA2 was born on that idea, and I would have to say “New scenario on LA-MULANA system”.

This is a sequel to LA-MULANA that we were saying it was impossible.
You might think “Can you make the continuation of that story?” or “Is there few idea for the ruins game?”
So, I said this project had simultaneously started with LA-MULANA four years ago.
We
will give away new information little by little. In the meantime, how
about finding underplots of LA-MULANA2 that are scattered in LA-MULANA?

New project is unveiled.

We announce the new project again from TOKYO GAME SHOW.
A special website is going to show up soon.
We are going to exhibit it at an indie game booth of TGS on public exhibition days, from tomorrow.
We guess indie game booths are kind of laid-back. So, we welcome anyone who come to play and intend to stay longer.

I’m going.

TOKYO GAME SHOW is starting tomorrow, and NIGORO is going to exhibit from 21st.
But I set off today because we have lots of things to be done.
We would like to report what is happening at TGS as much as we can, but would be as usual.

This time we are so busy that I will not be able to do live broadcast along with TGS.
Although we announce the new project there, but you can’t see the demo unless you are on site.
However, make yourself easy. A special website that we have prepared appears at night on 20th. (JST)

You can play the demo of the new game instantly at TGS. That’s all that matters.
And then, we will give some gifts for players. Just like that.

Now, I’m going.
