Virgo VS The Zodiac at BitSummit 7 Spirits this weekend!
A big hello to all the Degica fans out there!
We here at Degica Games are proud to announce our publishing partnership with Moonana the team behind the unforgiving timed action turn-based JRPG Virgo Vs The Zodiac! (VVTZ for short!)
Get ready to "Embark on a cosmic quest to follow your fate, or defy your destiny" this Autumn 2019.
Along with the news of our publishing partnership, Degica and Moonana will be attending Japan's largest Indie Game event, BitSummit 7 Spirits, from June 1st & 2nd at Miyako Messe in Kyoto. If you are in Kyoto come on by and check out the special Virgo Vs The Zodiac demo we will have on display and meet the Moonana team!
About Virgo VS The Zodiac:
Virgo Vs The Zodiac is a sci-fi/fantasy JRPG inspired by the Mario & Luigi RPG series and the Mother RPG series in which you play as an obsessed villain. The game features traditional turn-based combat with real-time execution of moves: blocking, countering and timing your attacks carefully as well as predicting your foes' moves is essential to succeed in Virgo's twisted and unforgiving cosmic quest to bring back the Golden Age, a period of peace, symmetry and balance, or so she thinks. In this galaxy where every action means a reaction, you’ll play as Virgo, the Holy Queen, often called Dreadful Queen by heretics, bringing mayhem to the Zodiac Realms and leaving a trail of stardust on the way, all to fit her excessively righteous worldview.
Special Origins Interview:
You can also get a glimpse into the beginnings of the game and how it came to be in this special interview article with the creator Nana.
Those who attend the event will be able to try out the exciting battle demo in either English or Japanese!
Attendees who have tried the demo will receive a random acrylic keychain of a character from Virgo Vs The Zodiac!
For those who come to see us at our booth, we will be also handing out Steam keys for the BitSummit demo version, along with an original designed clear file!
Supplies are limited so be sure to stop by!

Hello, long time no speak. We are making a new game and it's going to be HUGE!
As usual I am slow to update social media, but I am going to do my best to post updates on it. Weekly perhaps, if not, bi-weekly.
If you want to support our development, please do subscribe to our Twitter and/or Facebook pages. We will be posting game development updates on the regular, sales of existing games, crowdfunding if we do it, game releases of course, etc.
Thank you so much. I cannot express how great it is to hear from fans and players. That's by far the best part of this whole thing.

+1000 reviews down to 360????
Hello,
As you may have heard, Steam reviews from non-Steam purchases are no longer valid on the store page.
Just a shout out to anyone interested in Skyborn, please notice me senpai! (Sorry couldn't resist) ...Please notice the total review count as sooooo much of Skyborn's exposure came from bundles.
Thanks and have a great day!

New game in development - Fire Emblem style strategy RPG
Hello everyone!
I am the worst at updating people and social media. I am going to be better about that.
Also, Skyborn has continued to stay in the limelight somehow and that blows my mind. Thank you so much. That's the best part of my day is reading pretty much anything from players about my games.
I will have a dev log in all 4 of my published games' forums (Deadly Sins, Skyborn, Echoes of Aetheria) with updates on the new game's progress.
Also I would love suggestions on how to generate interest and participation. Since this is a Fire Emblem style game the possibilities for including more characters/features is huge.
I love you all and have a great day,
Phil

Skyborn needs your help! We need votes on PewDiePie's forum thread. Top games get played by him on his channel!
You'll need to make a forum account and then "like" the Skyborn post on the bottom right.
This could be huge :)
Lots of love,

An open letter to fans of Dancing Dragon Games...
Happy Friday everyone!
No game updates here. Just me gushing. First, I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. All the players of Echoes, Skyborn, and yes even my oldies, Deadly Sins 1 and 2.
I'm writing this as a bit of a look back or a post mortem on Echoes. Here's something I never thought I'd share publicly: Skyborn is significantly more popular than Echoes of Aetheria. Like... WAY more popular. And sometimes, that bothers me... I felt that I should have progressed as a developer and improved.
But as I've gotten older, I've learned to take a step back whenever I feel the pangs of regret, shame, whatever. To be able to see what's really important.
And what's important here?
I had a LOT of fun making it! And a few people had a lot of fun playing it!
That's what really matters. Did Echoes touch as many people as Skyborn? Not even close. But it still has the same value to me. If just ONE person is deeply moved, motivated, inspired, whisked away to a fantasy world of their own making, what have you. Then that's all that really matters.
That's why I made games after all. Because something else inspired me, whisked ME away to another world, and motivated me to tell my own story, and share my own vision for an epic adventure.
So again, thank you for playing. If even just a little bit. And if it inspired you in any way, I hope that has some positive effect on your life, as games have done for me. Getting lost in a project is one of the most rewarding things an indie developer can do.
Life is short - do what MOVES you. Tell your story. Leave your mark! :)
Sincerely,
Harmonic
