I know I previously stated that I would like to make a sequel, but after looking at Space Fox Kimi again, I decided that doing a remake first would be best. Space Fox Kimi is my first game as a developer, and it definitely shows. Since the sequel will be heavily impacted by the events of the first game, I would hate it if players were turned off from playing the sequel because of how rough the original is. I’d like to make it a feature where your choices in the first game affect part of the sequel, so having a more polished first game will help a lot there too.
Don’t worry though, it won’t be a pure remake. In addition to significant graphical improvements and a new combat system, I will be tweaking the story as well. Many of the original plot points will still be there, but there will also be additional story bits to expand on the universe and background.
Another thing I should note about Fuchian Chronicles is that it’ll be released episodically in Early Access. This so I can get more feedback and help in playtesting so there won’t be another game breaking bug that I missed for years (again, my apologies for that). I’m still a solo developers and don’t have the resources/connections to playtest the game extensively, so your help in doing so is greatly appreciated. The price of the game will increase gradually as more chapters are released, but they won’t be sold separately. This means that if you buy the game early on, you will get the full game at a significant discount as my thanks for supporting me while the game is in development. Please read the Early Access notes in the store page for more details.
Barring any real life issues, I’m planning to release the Prologue and Chapter One early to mid-December 2021. I hope you enjoy the game, and thank you for your support!
Something in the works...
Game Breaking Bug Fixed!
The bug where you get hardlocked after seeing a certain scene in Chapter 3 of the game has now been fixed! Please load your latest save and revisit the area and it should be working now.
My sincerest apologies for the long delay, I wasn't aware of the bug until now because I had stopped checking the community tab. Thank you for your patience, and I hope those who were stuck there enjoy the rest of the game!
Future of the series and new game released!
First of all, my second full game, Death and Progress, is now available on Steam!
Alternatively if you want to support me more, you can get the game DRM free on itch.io here! https://shentzu.itch.io/death-and-progress
Now, some of you have asked whether or not I'll be making a sequel to Space Fox Kimi, and I've responded to the comments, but I think it's good to have a proper announcement about it.
I fully intend to make a sequel to Space Fox Kimi, but I want to be able to make a quality game that does the story I have in mind justice. As such I've been experimenting with new techniques, new maps, and new gameplay elements that will all contribute to the sequel. I currently have a collab project with the people behind the Mermaid's Wrath mod for World of Warships planned (more info on it as it becomes available), but after that I will likely begin work on the sequel.
RPGMaker has been a great engine and basically launched my career, but I would like to transition to something else if it's feasible. I'll be exploring my options, and if possible I'd like to make the sequel a 3rd person RPG. No promises right now, but it's my next step as a game developer, so to speak.
That's it for now. Thank you for your support so far, and I hope you continue to support my games!
Best,
~ShenTzu
New Game Coming Soon!
My second game, Death and Progress, is coming soon to Steam! The store page is now up, add it to your wishlist today!
I have a couple of announcements this time. It’s probably going to end up more like a blog type post so please bear with me here.
First of all, the Christmas DLC: “A Very Kimi Christmas” is now released and available for free to owners of Space Fox Kimi. It’s a short, silly, non-canon story about the foxes’ first Christmas on Earth. I wanted to release this in time for Christmas, but a last minute trip overseas made that impossible. Hopefully you’ll still like it.
Second, I’m afraid this DLC will be the last one I’ll be releasing for the foreseeable future. While I would love make other DLC to flesh out other aspects of the story and universe, I am a solo indie game developer with bills to pay, and unfortunately free DLC doesn’t really help with that. So with that in mind, I will be moving onto my next game (more on this later). Thank you for understanding.
Thirdly, a bit of good news. I am a new developer and this is my first game, and I realized that it was more important for more people to play my game and give feedback. As such Space Fox Kimi will be permanently discounted to $0.99 USD effective immediately (if you still see it as $4.99 please wait for Steam to update the price). If you do play my game, please let me know about anything you liked or disliked about it, be it story, gameplay, level design, anything. Leaving a review on Steam would be most helpful, but if you prefer you can send me a message on twitter (@ShenTzuGames) or e-mail me at shentzugames@yahoo.com.
I am also looking for feedback on what my next game should be. Some of you have expressed interest in a sequel to Space Fox Kimi, and that is one option. I also have plans for a completely different story that’s modern-fantasy themed. Please let me know which one you’d be more interested in on this Twitter poll here: https://twitter.com/ShenTzuGames/status/1078776586046853120
Thank you for your support thus far, and I hope you continue to enjoy my games.
The Galactic Foxian Empire planned a daring operation to end the war with the United Bunny Federation. The fleet has gathered, the preparations are ready, the battle of Mochi Prime is about to begin!
In celebration, Space Fox Kimi will go on sale starting Dec 1st for two weeks at 85% off! It comes with both DLCs and any future DLC!
Free Upcoming Bonus Content
I will be releasing some free extra content for this game as DLC in the coming months. These will be shorter side stories that didn't make it to the main game for one reason or another. The first, Space Fox Kimi and the Interstellar Fortress, will be released within a few days.
Look forward to them!
Game Rebalance
It has come to my attention that parts of the game are unnecessarily difficult. After thinking about it and doing some more testing, I realized that was the case and made the following changes:
- Buffed maximum energy of GFE Cruisers to 750 from 330
- Reduced energy cost of “Emergency Repairs” to 50 from 70
- Automatically recover some HP and Energy when entering space in Chapter 3
- Reduced chance of random encounters in Chapter 3
You should still be able to play your existing saves, though it's recommended to load a save that's before entering the space map in Chapter 3.
Please feel free to leave any other feedback for this game that you may have. Thank you!
