PAX EAST

I’m going to exhibit LA-MULANA2 in PAX EAST, held in Boston in the United States from April 11th to 13th, as a member of Japanese indies troop led by PLAYISM.

Two PLAYISM men, Mr.Amaya from Studio Pixel and Nal from edelweiss will accompany on the trip.

So, LA-MULANA2, Kero Blaster and Astebreed will be displayed all together.

My schedule in April is almost fully booked up due to this event.
But, it must be a good opportunity to promote our game.

We have to do our best, because it is the first public relation in overseas that one of the purposes of Kickstarter’s funds.

What we have learned in the past few years is that we have to jump into everything to get better outcomes.
When I find a media person, give him a payo… flyer, and we have to make influential indie developers on our side…no, become friends with them.

I have no idea so far what I’m going to do over there.
Would you have any ideas what I can do for the event?

Bitsummit

From March 7th(Fri) to 9th(Sun), we, NIGORO, are going to participate in an indie games festival “Bitsummit” at Miyakomesse in Kyoto.
We will exhibit La-Mulana2 Bitsummit ver. It will be slightly upgraded from Kickstarter ver.

The first day is only for media, but it is open to the public on March 8th(Sat) and 9th(Sun).
Please join the event and pop up our booth.

We will not only exhibit but also take part in a session.

Then, let’s meet at Bitsummit.

Our project is now on Kickstater.


Today, we launched a Kickstarter project of producing LA-MULANA2.
We turned the plan into action in this summer, but it was not going to be easy as I thought.

I wish we could start the project just after TOKYO GAME SHOW.
However, we were sure we wouldn’t be ready in that time, so we would take some time after TOKYO GAME SHOW.
In the end, we have been in a trouble even since we completed the preparation.

To the people who shared this secret of Kickstarter project with us, to the people and companies who supported us and to everyone who is waiting an update of LA-MULANA2 after TGS, we got you into a fuss for that reason. I’m sorry.

But our project has finally started. Let’s enjoy it in a festive mood for a month than being afraid of failure.

Our apologies

The latest news of La-Mulana2 that we were going to release today was postponed until the next few days.
We are sorry for everyone who is looking forward to it.

We have got ready to update, but there still remains some procedures to be done, and it takes a few days.

I am afraid that we cannot handle the issue, all we can do is to wait.
We beg for your patience until further notice from PLAYISM.
We will keep you update as needed on NIGORO Twitter, too.

Next year

nextyear
We announced the development of LA-MULANA2 at TOKYO GAME SHOW. But, I’m sorry to have kept you hanging because we have not made any information after that. We struggled to set up the project, but we managed to prepare for it.

2013 is about to end. Then, we will update the website of LA-MULANA2 a little on the coming January 16th (JST).
By the way, you have more opportunity to get LA-MULANA at bargain price since this autumn.
If you haven’t played LA-MULANA yet, I’d really like you to play it while you are waiting for LA-MULANA2.
