"2015 Original Game, "Ream Destiny: War History of the Heavenly Shadow"
 
It's a month late, but happy new year!
I'll be publishing progress reports on my new game every now and then.
 
New Game
"Ream Destiny: War History of the Heavenly Shadow ~ Brilliant Pagoda or Haze Castle"
 
Not "chains", but "reams"!
Changing the kanji like this makes writing it a lot easier!
It's a minus conversion!
It makes the title seem lighter, too.
I plan on preparing various difficulty levels this time, since I intend to appeal to a more casual audience!
 
Now then, here are screenshots of the opening screen and some gameplay.
 
These scenes are still under development, so the complete product will look a lot different.
 
You normally wouldn't imagine an STG to have this much stuff onscreen; there's a lot of information to process... how rough.
Please be patient until the finished version for further details.
 
I hope to be able to distribute the finished version next month.
 
At any rate, I've been making a slightly different kind of STG until now.
 
I hope it goes well!"

I'M REALLY HYPED FOR THIS... but goodness the game does seem to have a clusterfuck of a UI, but I'm still hyped as all hell!

Maple

  • Mukyuu!
Spoiler:
It's me, or does Jynx keep forgetting about the existence of the space bar? Just look at the bgm names.

I started with Len'en some time ago. Before that i thought that the games were severely lacking in color, but the screenshots and videos are a different experience to playing it oneself. That said, it wouldn't kill to use more saturated colors in the character portraits. Now let's talk about the difficulty curve >:D.

Emerald Mint

  • Gemstone
I think the colour style in Evanescent Existence made it have its' unique and dark feel. Cues to the Stage 3 boss and the black and white theme.

This new one will be something to look forward to, although I've not dug out some time for the other Len'en projects yet.

Marron

  • Ordinary crow
I hardly clear the "hard" difficulty of these game(that's not the name but well, I forgot sorry), so...I will suffer with this game. What I like about Len'en is that the patern are kind of a mix of the touhou pc 98 and window. And JynX have really a good imagination, he do great work to include new original spellcards sometime !
Well, I can't wait for the game !
