When I started working on Karryn's Prison, I already had experience with having a separate version of Meltys Quest for each language of the game. (Warning: Long story time!! Don't say I didn't warn you!!!!) Basically, I created a new system for storing and displaying text, and have been porting all the current text into this new system. Since last week, Sachinama has been working on the Level 5 stuff like map, cutscene dialogue, and design for the Level 5 Defeated CG! So work on Level 5 is well under way! Meanwhile, I have actually been quietly and secretly working on backend stuff. You will be able to play Karryn's Prison in English from the DLsite (and Fanza) version, but do be noted that the DLsite (and Fanza) version will have mosaic censorship on genitals.Īnd that's it for the announcements! Now's the time for the Progress Report! DLsite (and most likely, Fanza if approved) will be the only non-Steam alternatives around release, and there is NO PLANS to sell Karryn's Prison on any other storefronts for quite a while.
Unfortunately, that is a problem between Steam and those countries' policies. I know that some people in certain countries can not access or purchase Karryn's Prison off of Steam. It's so close, and, it's so important to reach a proper closure for something like this.Īs mentioned in the roadmap, Karryn's Prison will available on Steam and DLsite on release. And we would like to thank everyone who have supported us in various ways during these three years. So it's an exciting and anxious time right now. My hand is shaking while I'm typing this, and it's shaking because after three years of working day and night, we are finally close to the finish line for Karryn's Prison. If you are short on cash, then instead of subscribing to us for beta access, we would much rather you save up your money for full release, which will cost $30 with a 20% launch discount on Steam. It really is just an extra perk for supporting us. I haven't decided yet.īut like I said in the roadmap, you definitely should not be subscribing to the Happy Life or Happy Eroge Life Forever tier just to get beta access. Maybe v10 will available until full release, or maybe it will only be available for testing for one week. There is currently no release date for when v10 is coming out, nor do we know how long v10 will be available for. And once Karryn's Prison is fully released, all access and download links to alpha and beta versions will be removed, including v10. As mentioned in the roadmap a while back, only Happy Lifers and Happy Eroge Life Forevers will have access to and be able to download v10. I know a lot of people were looking forward to hearing Karryn voiced on release, so sorry for disappointing you all. What this means is that if you are only willing to play Karryn's Prison once it's voiced, then please just wait until voices are in the game before purchasing. So we decided that we will focus on finishing all other aspects of the game first, and unless we have a lot of extra time left in the year to get the voice stuff working properly, we'll save the voice stuff for post release so we have one less issue to do super crunch time for before release. We have already chosen a new Japanese voice actor, but it meant that the original estimated time table is even more delayed due to having spent time finding and contacting a new voice actor. The original Japanese voice actor is no longer available to provide voices for Karryn's Prison due to scheduling issues. It takes a lot of time to create game audio files for each line out of raw recorded audio 2. There are several reasons for this, the two main ones being: 1. In fact, the voices will most likely be patched into the game next year in 2022, way after the release. And while nothing is certain in the future, I am pretty certain that there will be no voices on full release.
The full release is planned to be out on Steam and DLsite by the end of this year, 2021. Now then, here's the main announcement and it is in regards to the beta v10 and the full release. Hello everyone, Rem here with this week's Progress Report!
