Now we make the sale because my latest title was exhibited at TokyoGameShow2022
Last week from 15th,Sep to 18th,Sep, TokyoGameShow2022 was held, and my latest new title "Battleship Godios" was selected for indie-game-booth. So then we make a thanks sale now !
The game I exhibited at TGS2022 is not for Steam title, but it has great history between the game and TAROTICA VOO DOO !
Actually "TAROTICA VOO DOO" was exhibited at TokyoGameShow2014 ( 8 years ago) as selected indie game of TGS2014, and at that time, Panic.inc visited the show and found TAROTICA. They offered me to make something new latest title for their handheld game device Playdate After so many struggled days, finally, the new title "Battleship Godios for Playdate" was able to exhibit TGS2022.
As I informed you, I planned to raise the price of the game, but as you know we are living in COVID-19 days, that prevent my creative process. That was the reason why describing additional documents for the game and additional translation of the game still have been delaying
Also I planned making a sale of TAROTICA when the time I released the next game, and as I explained, Battleship Godios is deep relation with TAROTICA, so I decided to make the sale of the game now.
Who have been waiting the sale or who know me by visiting TGS2022, I am happy if you experience TAROTICA and have fun to play it !!
Sincerely TOG < ^ ) ) ) ) ) ) ) <
[fixed] open_chronicles_folder.exe was updated
We heard that open_chronicles_folder.exe was detected as a virus at some user locals, so we updated the exe to avoid mis-alert.
(Actually the exe is just to open the folder with the document, so you do not need to use the exe :-)
The price of the game will be increased
The price of the game will be increased after the update for 2nd edition.
The price is based on the original version for MSX at about 20 years before, it is considered for such as a student player, I have kept its price cheaper. But as you suppose, for the process for the release for Steam and apply for abroad versions, it have taken so many effort and have taken time to me to accomplish them to fix, and the game is not popular million AAA game, and its my first release for Steam, unfortunately I did not consider about pricing in anticipation of future price cut for such as SALE, then I have not be able to enough price-down till now (current price is already price downed, but..) also, I can remember that the people who knows TAROTICA well often advised me that the price is too cheaper.
I can remember my old 1980's, so many arcade video games are around. I had played them with coins everyday, played them from first, no save, but we no doubt used to played them from beginning in every time we play, and more we got a skill to play the game. Like that, After you finish TAROTICA, let play again from beginning, then, you can find yourself as you got a skill for swinging the sword well. Try to let your friend play to see, you can also find or surprised their play than you played, quite difference, you may find the seeing is also to be entertainment.
The old 80's games influenced me and give me a motivation to make a game still now. I hope that TAROTICA also be like that for you..
The collaboration with "Travis Strikes Again：No More Heroes"
You can wear a T-shirt of TAROTICA VOO DOO as the in-game characters plays in No More Heroes now on released on Nintendo Swtich after download new DLC2 released on 4/18.
This T-shirt is just virtual one, but do not worry! We will soon release the REAL T-shirt you can wear !
Sincerely,
TOG

You can play the game at TokyoGameShow 2018
These 4 years exhibited the game at major GameShow, often people standing behind the booth looking other's play said that "I have no idea what's going on but it seems others play with no problem. Can you explain about the game? " But after he played always said " I got it, as just you said, the best way to know the game is just play the game". Yes! Just play is the best way to know the game ! This is my conviction got after through exhibiting all GameShow.
So If you interest the game,TAROTICA VOO DOO, just visit TokyoGameShow2018 during 20-23,Sep, go to IndieGame Area at Hall 9!
