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

[FrogFrozen]

In short, the possibility of release in April has plummeted.

He might also want to avoid saying anything so close to April Fools. (Yes, Japan practices it, too.) Since that would fuck with the optics of a real announcement.

This isn't a patreon milking situation

Yeah, I've seen a lot of comments on the JP side where people keep insisting he rely on CI-EN, Patreon, Fanbox, anything that'll help him get more time to finish it faster, but Makura always refuses because he doesn't want to create an even worse situation.

As it is, man's frustratingly disorganized, but doesn't necessarily owe the waiting fans anything since none of them have paid for anything, yet. If he started a subscription service and nothing changed, that would be a hell situation for him. The amount of animosity (and even more) would be 100% justified.

After all, it is less than a day away from the next postponement in April, and the information released at this sensitive time still does not specify the possible release date of the game (such as late April). There is no mention of any game-related progress. Pre-release warm-up activities such as DL page release have not been carried out. The current situation really makes it difficult for people to believe that the author is really ready to release it in April. If the author does not provide game-related information when publishing the comic on April 4, it is likely to be postponed to May or even longer (I just simply hope that if the author has changes related to the release, he can tell everyone in advance instead of letting players wait and waste their patience)

It would be funny if pasta announced tomorrow the definitive release date just to say later that it was an april fools joke.

So it begins hoping for the April Release

after so long id hope for any news..any new pic or info about the system...this game is in such a dev hell that during this time you could write 10 more unique characters or a pet system in it...

Hello everyone, I am back to share the newest mod I have made. A mod that allows Riselle and Maria to stay in the demo.

View attachment 3645423

I have also made it so Riselle can be captured by Wildbull, however there are no scenes involved between them so it is just there for flavor for now.

The mod also allows you to get rid of story mode characters such as Max and Riselle to fully have full control over your party.

Its April!
The Release of the Game has been Move to Next Month

Last month it was this month

April 4th has passed, and the author has not updated any information.
Since no pre-release preparations or warm-up activities have been carried out so far, the possibility of delaying the release to May or even later is close to 90%.

 

[Bofadeezus]

From what I see on the site, is the release date not 23/04/25?

After that, the production team delayed the release date due to adding CGs, and changed the announcement to the final beta version (however, a lot of serious bugs were added and the new progress was very little). It was not until this year that it was announced that it would be released in March, and then in mid-March, it was announced that it would be delayed to April. Now, at the end of March, it suddenly broke out that the manga of the Demon Swordsman Lina would be released on April 4th, and then there was no news again. Since the production team has not conducted any pre-release warm-up activities or DL pages, it is reasonable to believe that the April release target this year is likely to be postponed.

I'd like to note that comments stopped being posted on his blog. You'd think there'd be people commenting something in response to the 4/4 deadline being missed for the manga. The comments can't be posted if he doesn't personally approve them.

The last comment on there was from the 29th. Which implies he hasn't actually logged into his blog page in nearly a week. This implies something may have happened. Hopefully nothing serious.

It happened just after the delay aswell, they didn't approve any message for like, ten days. They're probably just busy with whatever needs to be done before release. Also probably can't be bothered to approve the overly pointlessly negative comments that plagues this kind of topic, as seen here.

Since the production team has not conducted any pre-release warm-up activities or DL pages, it is reasonable to believe that the April release target this year is likely to be postponed.

Are you a broken bot? You keep repeating this again and again as if it made sense. It's not their first game, they know how to handle that. And I don't mean it in a "they are doing it perfectly", but more in a "they're doing it as they want to do it".
They will delay it when they will delay it. They really want an april release, before golden week. Have moderate hope. It probably will be delayed, might not be. No one knows except them.

As I have answered the first time you posted this, no, there isn't a release date except them saying "hope I can make it to april".
The date stamp you're refering to is one of the the updates of the post, in japanese format, made in 2023, april, 25th.

Just let them cook. It ain't a Patreon project, we are not getting charged monthly fees for the delay.
Everything we've seen so far has been high quality work.
I myself have been anticipating this game for almost a year now, but I'd rather play the dev's complete polished work than some rushed version squeezed out to meet deadlines.

i know i know..but do you realize that this project was announced a bit earlier than you got to know about it? The demo page shows first post as 2019..thats a while back..and some people wait from then...if the communication was ok then we wouldn't mind..but its sometimes months until any news shows up. I rather the author didnt give a release date, only next news/update date...cause getting hyped up and getting sad/pssed that its another year away is not fun... no hope is better than false hope...

I've been waiting since 2019 and I don't mind waiting some more. Speak for yourself
Sure it would be nice to have it now, or to have better communication, etc. etc. But there's no use complaining about it, that's not going to make it come out faster

I am speaking for myself here..and for many who have enough of tourists who saw the game yesterday and say 'oh it can come out in 4 years i can wait'.

I wish a couple of other games I keep an eye on had people being civil like this one. Especially when the devs are posting dev blogs of what they are doing all the time, lol.

So, he didn't make a 4/4 announcement for the actual release or anything, but the manga's new chapter did actually release on 4/4. Just checked the various sites he listed it as being on sale for and it is in fact up for purchase on them.
