So we are pleased to announce our new work!
This is a big project, and the entire staff is working hard to make it happen. We hope you can look forward to new karma and despair unfolding in the downtown area of Tokyo in modern Japan.The trailer includes many actual game screens (in development). As you can see, this work is very dynamic and many things are moving beautifully, including characters, backgrounds, and small objects. In addition, this work is being produced as an adventure game with game play, so we will be able to show unique aspects of the game system as well.
“M" is the name of the project, and we plan to decide on the official title in discussion with our future publisher. For the time being, please refer to it as “NOVECT’s new game" or “M".
Regarding the point that the new game is not NarKarma, the RPG project we announced in 2017, we have changed the development schedule as we announced last year. We will proceed with development sequentially, and we hope that you will be patient. Thank you for your understanding.
This work is bigger in scale than the previous one, The House in Fata Morgana, and it is no exaggeration to say that my life and the fate of NOVECT are at stake. I promise to deliver the best. We have not yet set a release date (since we do not have a publisher yet), but the development itself is progressing well, and my personal goal is in 2023. However, since we are inevitably a small development team, please let us not commit to a date at this time. However, this does not mean that it will take 4-5 years from now, and we will update you on the status as needed.
For the time being, we have applied for the August BitSummit and will be exhibiting a demo version there. I have not applied for Comiket in the summer, but I would like to exhibit in the winter, so I hope to see you all again.
Well then, I look forward to your continued support of NOVECT!!!
