DevLog #65: September 2021 (Patreon)

Hi everyone! It's time for the monthly DevLog 😉

Light Fairytale Episode 2

I've spent most of this month working on the Xbox port.

Good news: Episode 2 have passed certification on Xbox!

The pre-orders will start on the 15 October and the game will unlock on the 29 October. Just a bit more waiting!

Here's the store page:

Light Fairytale Episode 1

Support for Xbox Series X/S was actually not working - so I've updated Episode 1 once more a few days ago with proper support.

It should now look and feel way better on Xbox Series X/S!

Super Nekollection

I've made a new app for Android called Super Nekollection.

It's a fast, light yet powerful Manga / Comics / whatever reader.

You can see it in action on YouTube...

... and grab it on Google Play:

play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=works.neko.nekollectionv2 

It's a premium app - as I think the user experience is superior this way: No ads, no network access, no DRM etc.

Actually there's also a hidden - free, ads supported version, but currently it's serving way too much ads so I'm working on fixing that.

In the mean time you can still grab it here:

play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=works.neko.nekollectionv2ADS 

JPFlashCards

I've also made a small app for Windows called JPFlashCards.

This app is for learning Japanese words from games with examples and in an optimal order. There's also a test mode!

I find it way more efficient to learn actual words in context, rather than Kanji one by one the old school way.

I've actually made powerful tools to generate cards from games, and this demo includes a card for Light Fairytale Episode 1!

The tools have actually generated 28 subcards, but I need to manually clean the results so that they make sense - so I'm providing just one subcard for now.

You can of course make your own cards too! I recommend making cards while reading the Kanji De Manga series of books.

Also, please note that this free demo is an early access for my Patrons - so please do not share it! The download is in the attachments bellow.

Please remember that you can always switch languages in the Light Fairytale series by pressing SELECT (Gamepad) / L (Keyboard). So you can actually play in Japanese and check the translation in English anytime!

Bonus

This month 4K wallpaper features our favorite cat girl Miyu posing for the cover of Super Nekollection! I hope you'll like it :3

What's Next?

Next month, I'll be working on the PlayStation port of Light Fairytale Episode 2 - hopefully for a release close to the Xbox version!

Thank you so much for your continuous support. See you next time 😊
