- Now we make the sale because my latest title was exhibited at TokyoGameShow2022 - 20 September 2022
Last week from 15th,Sep to 18th,Sep, TokyoGameShow2022 was held, and my latest new title "Battleship Godios" was selected for indie-game-booth. So then we make a thanks sale now ! The game I exhibited at TGS2022 is not for Steam title, but it has great history between the game and TAROTICA VOO DOO ! Actually "TAROTICA VOO DOO" was exhibited at TokyoGameShow2014 ( 8 years ago) as selected indie game of TGS2014, and at that time, Panic.inc visited the show and found TAROTICA. They offered me to make something new latest title for their handheld game device Playdate After so many struggled days, finally, the new title "Battleship Godios for Playdate" was able to exhibit TGS2022. As I informed you, I planned to raise the price of the game, but as you know we are living in COVID-19 days, that prevent my creative process. That was the reason why describing additional documents for the game an…
- [fixed] open_chronicles_folder.exe was updated - 18 April 2022

- The price of the game will be increased - 28 October 2019
The price of the game will be increased after the update for 2nd edition. The price is based on the original version for MSX at about 20 years before, it is considered for such as a student player, I have kept its price cheaper. But as you suppose, for the process for the release for Steam and apply for abroad versions, it have taken so many effort and have taken time to me to accomplish them to fix, and the game is not popular million AAA game, and its my first release for Steam, unfortunately I did not consider about pricing in anticipation of future price cut for such as SALE, then I have not be able to enough price-down till now (current price is already price downed, but..) also, I can remember that the people who knows TAROTICA well often advised me that the price is too cheaper. I can remember my old 1980's, so many arcade video games are around. I had played them with coins ever…
