BREAKING NEWS:

Due to in the real world, the Princess is on an examination schedule, development of Tenkijo will be slowed down in the entirety of January.


But the Princess still have time to do her side projects (including fan-made "simplified and for otakus" manuals for Tamagotchi Nano releases). So in January, the Princess will only do her side projects during that month.

Also, stay tuned as a spin-off series revolving around the Seihou character Muse will potentially be revealed later in either late January or early February! The Princess will be also busy on thinking up ideas for this potential spin-off.

While we are in the Princess' school, we received this piece of information from the Princess:

"I am pretty running out of time because another year has come and there will be several holidays in the 1st half of this year: Yumemi's birthday, Lunar New Year, Day of Mercy, Reira's birthday (a.k.a this year's Good Friday), and most importantly, my own birthday, which I planned to be the release date of the 1st demo of Act 1. I mean, Act 1's 1st demo will not have much content, so you should expect the 1st demo will just contain a (small) snippet of the beginning of the story plus gameplay mechanics' introduction, not anything too pretty big like Touhou's demos. But due to I have several ideas running wild inside my head and I have to give all of them a shot because I'm afraid that I would forgot them if I don't give them a shot quick, then the production of Tenkijo is pretty slow and muddled at the moment. Especially when I have smaller side projects such as the so-called "Seihou Muse fangame Tenkijo spin-off project" and "simplified Tamagotchi Nano manuals for otakus / weebs". Also, I am a student, and that means that my spare time is very scarce due to frequent school work, especially for me, who is currently approaching the end of middle school and ready to move to high school. The development of the game only involves just me and two of my friends, but after I was locked out Discord due to an underage ban that requires picture verification to have it lifted, then I literally cannot contact both friends directly and quickly, albeit one of them have a Reddit account that they frequently uses to post their content, so I am currently holding conversations with him there. If 2021 is not tough enough for me, then 2022 would be even more tough: Urges to study for middle school graduation exams, once I get to high school school work will be insanely harder, the pandemic make all of us living like a hikikomori and thus making access to tech support for my main PC (which I uses to make Tenkijo and many other side projects) insanely hard, and many more whatnot."

Hope that the Princess' situation will improve as soon as she finishes this examination period!

Looks amazing, are they?
