- In-Development Version of Gensokyo Night Festival Now Available in Private Beta - 25 October 2023
Dear all, As previously announced, we have uploaded an in-development version of Gensokyo Night Festival to the "beta" branch as a private beta. ※※Important!※※ When we moved the project to the newest version of Unreal Engine, major bugs were created not just in the new Stage 3, but also in the previously completed and released Stages 1 and 2. Please note that since this is still an in-development build, there are numerous crash bugs, other bugs of varying severity, placeholder assets, and unfinished portions still present. We are already aware of the bugs that occur in this game build, so there is no need to report any bugs you may find. The purpose of the beta is only to share with you our current development progress, nothing more. In order to prevent the issues in this build from affecting existing save data, this in-development version will save in the game install folder instead of…

To everyone looking forward to the next update for Gensokyo Night Festival, First of all, we apologize for not posting any updates in September. We also apologize for the ongoing delay in the release of the next game update. tea_basira is still working on the game, but we still haven't gotten to a point where we can release a proper update. However, as you may know, this situation has persisted for a considerable period of time. Therefore, even though there are still many bugs and unfinished portions, we have decided to release the in-development build as a private beta on Steam to share with you our current development progress. Important Notice As announced in this previous Steam News post, when we moved the project to the newest version of Unreal Engine, major bugs were created not just in the new Stage 3, but also in the previously completed and released Stages 1 and 2.

- About Game Development as of June 2023 - 30 June 2023
To everyone waiting for Gensokyo Night Festival Thank you very much for supporting the game. Back in March, we announced that Stage3 is 70% complete. However, we have encountered a new bug, and although tea_basira has been fighting it for a while now, it is very persistent and will likely take some more time to be completely resolved. At the same time, we are also working hard to improve the Stage3 map so that it will be of a satisfying quality. We are deeply sorry for yet again being unable to provide any information on when the next update will be available. Both PLAYISM and the tea_basira are hard at work trying to make something that will meet everyone's expectations so we can announce it proudly when we're finally ready to share the good news. We apologize for the numerous delays, and we would be very thankful for your continued support and patience. https://store.steampowered.com/…
- About Game Development as of March 2023 - 31 March 2023
To everyone looking forward to Gensokyo Night Festival: Thank you for your continuous support. The development of Stage 3 of Gensokyo Night Festival is now 70% complete. A recent update to the Unreal Engine broke certain parts of the development process, which meant Stage 1 and Stage 2 had to be remade internally, which in turn meant we spent a lot more time than expected on fixing bugs in those stages as well as working on Stage 3. We're in the home stretch now, though! We apologize for the long wait, but please bear with us for a a little longer, and we hope you will continue to support the project.

- On the Development Status as of late 2022 - 28 December 2022
To all players waiting for Gensokyo Night Festival: Thank you for your continuous support. As 2022 is coming to an end, we will take this opportunity to report on the development status of the game. We had been especially struggling with the frequent crashes that occur on Stage2, but we have since gotten assistance from an expert who works with Unreal Engine, so we have made significant progress in identifying the issues we need to fix. This has allowed us to finally start tackling the bugs in Stage3. We are terribly sorry for the long wait, but please bear with us a little longer as we do our best to improve the game. We wish everyone a very Happy New Year. We hope to see you all again and bring better news in 2023!

- Notification Regarding Gensokyo Night Festival Development Progress - 1 June 2022
Hello everyone, Thank you for playing Gensokyo Night festival. We apologize for the half-year hiatus since our last announcement. As mentioned previously, the Unreal Engine update has caused several serious bugs in the game, and we are working day in and day out to fix these issues; however, we are currently and unfortunately still unable to provide you all with a playable build. On top of the fact that tea-basira has been developing this title all on his own, it's also his first time developing a proper game, so he has requested the support of an Unreal Engine specialist. We are working on fixing bugs every day, but it's similar to reading a single piece of code, character by character, and we apologize for not being able to announce the status of this project, since nothing new is currently in development. The development of the game has not been put on hold, and tea-basira is still w…
