Information about current situation

Hi everyone. I'm sorry I haven't been able to update you on the update lately.
I wrote this news to explain the current situation of our development team.

It has already been about a week since we asked Steam to review the store page and build of the new title 'Magic Sword Girl Twins' that we are currently developing. We expected all of this to end in four days at the latest. But we hit an unexpected wall.

Steam abruptly changed a policy last July without any prior notice. Regarding copyright issues, it was that games using AI art could no longer be released. Many indie/small development teams around the world, including my team, have faced difficulties.

For this reason, our game failed to pass the screening process, and we applied for a re-examination with information about the AI license we are currently using for development. And we are still waiting for the final answer.

Our team's plan and development environment will vary greatly depending on the results of the review. Although it is still premature, there is a possibility that the development of 'Magic Sword Girl Twins' and the update of 'Executioner Girls' will be interrupted. In severe cases, the team may break up.

We are preparing for all of these cases. But now we can't do anything but wait. The next notice will be announced to you after the results of the review are released.

I hope you understand deeply, and we hope there will be good news later. Thank you.
