There have been no major developments since the beta update. We do not plan to update the game until development of the version for other devices.

The English version will be released in August. It is important to note that the editor itself is still in the beta stage, regardless of the language.

We are planning to change the in-game japanese font in the HD UI due to the optimization for the development of other device versions.
We would like to share some screenshots that was during the test process.
This font was originally planned at the time of the initial UI design, but we were unable to implement it due to technical problems at the time.
Side note: This change has little effect on the Latin English display, and the parts of the font that are in a thin gothic font are not displayed correctly because they are still under development.
