2 HOURS LEFT! Help Newton Hit Stretch Goal #4! Almost there!
Vampire Princess Army and Newtonians,
This is an emergency last call to all out there that can help bring Newton to final victory! We're only $1,500 USD away from the 4th Stretch Goal, Light Novel - Yotsuko's After Story! We're so close we can taste it!
Thank you to all who have showed their support thus far! You've made this one heck of a memorable campaign that will mark yet another victory for visual novels! <3
If you can/cannot pledge, please retweet and share our Newton countdown post from Twitter and Facebook! Doing so can really make a difference. Thank you! <3
Thank you all and we hope to see you at the campaign celebration!
Cheers,
MiKandi Japan
Vampire Princess Army and Newtonians,
Hope you enjoyed your holidays! We've now entered Newton's final countdown on Kickstarter. There's just under 48 hours left for you to pledge on this brand new Japanese visual novel. The campaign has done very well so far, but we NEED all the help possible to reach the 4th stretch goal! Please come and pledge on Newton before time runs out!
Help Spread the Word!
If you can/cannot pledge, please retweet and share our Newton countdown post from Twitter and Facebook! Doing so can really make a difference. Thank you! <3
*Purchasing the games on Lv XERO means more money goes back to the game makers, thus supporting the growth of the VN industry in Japan and beyond!
Libra Script Improvements and Patreon!
We're now on Patreon!
Based on feedback we conducted after the game's release, we've been making script improvements to Libra's main route and Mari's route. The effort started a little over a month ago and is supported by four dedicated volunteers and MiKandi Japan team members -- everyone working during their free time. A patch will eventually be released (date TBA) after we're all satisfied with the updates and private testing has concluded.
Beyond that, our plan is to also address the game's other paths. For more detailed info on the volunteer effort, please see any of our Kickstarter updates titled "Libra's Script Improvements Update #X". Thanks!
We have also created a Patreon page to help pay for the programming costs of these script patches. There's some nice rewards set up on our page that some of you might really enjoy (the Libra trading cards are very popular at the moment). Check it out if you'd be interesting in supporting us! m(_ _)m
Other Events?
If you haven't followed us on social media yet, check us out on Twitter @MiKandiJapan! Come say "konnichiwa" and see what else we're currently up to this gift-giving season!
Thank you to all our supporters, new and old! We are grateful beyond words!
Have a safe and happy holiday season!
See you soon!

Greetings Everyone!!!
In case you hadn't heard, we recently teamed up with game publisher Sol Press to help bring Laplacian's time-travelling, bishojo comedy, Newton and the Apple Tree, to the west.
To our pleasant surprise, NEWTON'S CAMPAIGN was funded in just one day! Incredible!!! Stretch goal #1 was snapped right up, and now we're moving right along to stretch goal #2!
We're really excited at the momentum of this campaign, and would like all our visual novel fans to visit the campaign to learn more about the cute characters, pledge, join the community, and share with your friends!
