[Makura cover soft] Dungeon and Bride (alpha, upcoming, DEMO RELEASED)

A lot of this is true, but he's already building tons of his own systems from scratch. For an engine that was never made for the systems he's putting into it. He's doing shit the codebase itself was never intended for and its bursting at the seams.

Switching to a proper commercial engine might be a similar difficulty, but it'll cooperate with him a lot more. If he finds a dedicated coder for it, like I mentioned in the same post, it'd probably be less trouble in the long run than the jank way he's doing things now.

Also, I really only mentioned Unity by name just to get the name of some non-proprietary engine into that sentence.

Fair enough, yeah. I'm not saying he shouldn't do it. Just speaking from experience, sometimes it's easier (or at least easier justify from a business perspective) to hack something together in an engine that doesn't really support it than to learn an entire new engine that might make it easier in the long run. But yeah, I think we would all be happier if he found a better long-term solution for the next project.

All said and done, I do have respect for people that manage to make engines do what they really don't want to do. The things he's managed to make Kirikiri do just in the demo, against its own specifications, are an engineering miracle.

Still not done eh? I could have sworn he had a release date set.

Last december they said they were aiming for a late April release. Now it's been more than a year since that announcement and we don't have a release date or a new demo or something, I'm a bit worried to be honest... we might not see a release until 2026

I think the April one was the last demo until final game. He also said mostly everything made just got to put them together. Maybe get more H scenes.

I did see the progress report on the their blog, and as you said pretty much everything is done except for some scenes and pieces of the story, but the real issue is that voice acting/audio has not received any progress. This was of course a long time ago, pretty sure there has been progress they are just holding back on making any more "reports"
