Good evening, Ice Cap Opera Team!
By February 2025, we will update the trial version to provide an experience closer to the retail version.
Also, regarding the development studio, we will change the notation here.
Old: Hyoukan Opera
New: Hyoukan Studio
``Planning: Hyoukan Opera'' and ``Producing: Hyoukan Studio.''
To be precise, I am in charge of "planning" for Hyoukan Opera, so I will correct the description.
The development staff has not changed. The number of people helping with development has increased.ːsteamthumbsupː
- Add scenario In the current version, it was possible to play up to the middle of the second chapter. However, with this update, we will be releasing all two chapters and one bad ending. This allows you to experience the unique features of Knight Case Files. We recommend replaying the trial version!
- Improved graphics The graphics of some characters have been revised. Added background graphics.
- English translation English was not implemented in the trial version, but it will be added in a later update! For development reasons, some parts are machine translated. This will be fixed in the production version.
- Add achievements Added achievements that can be unlocked in the trial version.
Sorry for not being able to update the notice!
A lot of things happened while I was issuing this notice.
- Developer pregnancy and childbirth This is the main cause! I was in the middle of development towards my release goal, but work stopped due to poor health due to morning sickness. It took more than half a year to restart, and after giving birth, it was very difficult to take care of the child. As soon as the trial version update is completed, I will return to writing the game scenario.
- Additional implementation of Tips function Knight Case Files has a very elaborate worldview, and there are over 10 characters, including some who only have names. We implemented this to allow players to immerse themselves in the story. This required development funds...
There are other big announcements, but we will let you know as soon as they are available.
Please wait for the update!
