After an 18 month wait, the sequel to Shinogi Chess Club has finally arrived!
You can get Shinogi Chess Club 2 here!
Synopsis
In the wake of the Typhoon Initiative's collapse, a new threat has risen to challenge the city's obsession with Shinogi Chess, a board game variant which has taken hold of countless schools across Japan. With the Spring Championships behind her, Himiko Masaki continues the search for her mother, and will stop at nothing to acquire power in pursuit of this goal. As she investigates new leads and unravels a sinister conspiracy, Himiko is driven down a path of vengeance, and discovers just how far she's willing to go for the truth.
Meanwhile, Yoshino High School has finally recovered from last semester's shocking events. The Shinogi Chess Club struggles to stay afloat when new arrivals, including aspiring poet Kenshi Okawa, shake the group to their core. As Himiko learns more about the other members, such as Kaito Sakuma, a brilliant student with suspicious connections, she realizes that more lies beneath the surface when it comes to her friends. Amidst these complications, rival clubs at Yoshino High have also caught wind of Himiko's activities, and seek involvement for the safety of the school.
In this next chapter of Himiko's journey, you'll uncover the truth behind the disappearance of Yuko Masaki and unveil new mysteries within the school! If you haven't yet, you can pick up the game here!

Conclusion
I'd like to personally thank everyone who has supported me and kept up with my projects. It's been a tough journey going this far with the games I create while also dealing with life stuff, but I hope that the effort is worthwhile and the story can be enjoyed by everyone who tries out the game. If you liked what you see and want to support me, I'd highly appreciate it if you left a review talking about your experience with the game!
So with that out of the way, you might wonder what comes next for me; and to that I'd say... I'm just getting started. Now that I've had time to flesh out the story I wanted to tell years ago, I'd like to hone in on projects which are less niche and possibly cater more to different crowds. I also envision this being a period of great change as I expand my brand, put out more content on YouTube and social media, and develop key tools which will come in handy for my games down the line. I'd also like to become a contributor for the Godot engine itself, which might be the home of my next projects, and develop packages/components which will aid in constructing Visual Novels like Shinogi Chess Club.
That said, I do have a specific project in mind to slowly move towards, but I'll save the details of that for another time. All I'll mention in that regard is that fans of my previous projects will certainly appreciate the next story I'm aiming to tell :)
That's all for now! I'd once again like to thank everyone for playing and as always you can catch up with the latest news about my projects on Twitter @RobProductions. Stay well, and I hope you enjoy the game! <3
