This is a general notice to all Playism titles.
From June 14th onwards, I (Cheru) will no longer be Playism's community manager. After over 4 years of working passionately in Playism, I have decided to leave and change direction. I am sad that I won't be working and playing with you all as a member of Playism anymore, however, I will still be around on Steam.
Thank you everyone for the amazing communities you have built around Playism games and I hope that you will all continue to enjoy their games for years to come.
- Cheru

As Playism is based in Japan, we wanted to notify you all that due to the extended Japanese holidays this year for Golden Week at the start of May, we will be closing our offices and operations from April 27th to May 6th.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, however, we will be back on May 7th, and shall handle all issues from then onwards.
We are happy to announce that this week, we'll be offering Pixel Game Maker MV - the latest entry in the Maker series, currently being distributed by Playism - at a 20% off discount for our Weekly Sale.

Bug Fixes
Fixed NPCs in school acting as if you weren’t there when you jumped while in front of them, possibly letting you get behind them and thus causing you to get stuck.
Fixed selecting an effect in the inventory and then loading a save without that effect, causing the inventory to not auto-select an item and show the image and description from the previously selected one.
Fixed mini game pause menu not un-pausing with cancel button.
Fixed graphics menu closing sound playing at a lower volume than the rest of the items in the In-Game menu.
Fixed a slope in the school where if you go down the stairs the player kept playing the falling animation.
Fixed a bug were if you flew above an eyeball you could remain flying in place for a while.
Fixed: In the mall NPC encounter scene some effects could be activated and deactivated while the cut scene was playing.
Effects can’t be activated anymore while having the menu opened.
Fixed a bug where after dying once, the physics would start working weirdly with the slopes.
Fixed: Pinching immediately after starting effects would leave the 3D model of the effect floating around.
Various localization updates.
Wind zone in school resized to avoid the bug where if you open the umbrella at the end of the stairs next to the wind area she travels up while doing it.
Fixed a collider of an NPC near a house where you could go through to an unintended location.
Fixed a bug where if you interact with doors while using an effect it opened and closed fast multiple times.
Improved the stairs collider in the school.
Fixed “100%” text going outside of the frame in the diary with some languages and window sizes.
Fixed: Player could interact with triggers while being in the menu
Fixed bug where hitting the NPC that gives you the eye while running caused Madotsuki to keep running in place.
Fixed: Opening the menu in front of an active trigger that teleported Madotsuki or loaded a new location, and pressing the interaction button while in the menus would cause problems and could lock the game.
Fixed: Closing the menu with the interaction button while in front of an interaction trigger would cause the trigger to activate unintendedly.
Fixed: Pressing pinch while taking the flute out could get you stuck until taking the flute out again.
Fixed: Could go through door in elevator room, lower floor.
Fixed: Could use the flute while waiting in the elevator, causing the input to be enabled too early.
Fixed a bug where one of the lights that explodes near an NPC kept exploding on its own.
Fixed: It was possible to skip the eye wave chasing you by running into the alley where the wave comes from at the right edge where the eyes wouldn’t touch you.
Fixed: On every scene change and when closing the in-game menu, the problem with the very high level audio was occurring when playing with very low frame rates, just like quitting to the main menu before.
Fixed: When sitting in the chair, pressing the interact button to get up would result in Madotsuki getting up and sitting down again.
Fixed: When having a controller connected, interacting with some things (like the light switch) using the keyboard would result in a duplicated interaction (e.g. the light would be turned off and on immediately).
Fixed: The places that started with an animation of Madotsuki closing the door had a problem where if you held the lantern or umbrella button you could see a floating item appearing/disappearing while the animation finished.

Following hot on the heels of last week’s reveal the newest round of promotional footage marks the public debut of in-game audio-visual assets.

Announcing YumeNikki -Dream Diary-
In its original form, RPG Maker darling Yume Nikki was a divisively controversial work among fans. By contrast, YumeNikki -Dream Diary- is a collaborative show of the utmost respect for auteur Kikiyama’s seminal release.
The RPG Maker team at Kadokawa has paired up with Active Gaming Media’s development team of ardent Yume Nikki fans to bring you this modern indie title in the form of YumeNikki -Dream Diary-. This diverging follow-up combines influences from the original game and other recent indie juggernauts to create something wholly unique.
YumeNikki -Dream Diary- was created under supervision and with the full cooperation from the original creator, Kikiyama themselves. We hope it will help to create a whole new wave of fans, as well as push the envelope in terms of what RPG Maker games can become.
