Hello, everyone! Just checking in...

So many things have happened since my last post; we're all trying really hard to compose ourselves and not freak out due to excitement.


First off, OMORI HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY FUNDED!!!

...and even beyond that, WE HAVE MADE IT PASSED OUR FIRST STRETCH GOAL which means more drawings like the ones in the trailer will be appearing in-game!



It's really amazing what can happen in just a few days. We've already been featured on multiple gaming blogs: including Joystiq, Destructoid, and Kotaku... twice for some reason. It's relieving to get such great reception! To be honest, I was a bit nervous at first.

But what was MOST surprising for us all was the amount of support we are getting from overseas, especially in Japan. In addition to English blogs, we are being featured on an incredible amount of Japanese blogs and websites... Nico News, Gigazine, GameSpark just to name a few! (Also, I am getting tweets in Japanese like crazy.)

This is such great news as there is an undeniable amount of Japanese influence evident in this game and the entire team. We are also being favorably compared to Itoi's MOTHER series and Kikiyama's YUME NIKKI, which is beyond fine by us!! In fact, it is an honor.

The team is quickly realizing that we may need to make a Japanese localization of OMORI, and are currently working towards that. We will most likely add it as a stretch goal in the near future. For now the next stretch goal is the Mac port! (courtesy of Jammed Gears)

In other news, a demo of OMORI will be available @ Giant Robot's Game Night on May 3rd, and at my booths at ACEN, (maybe) Fanime, and Anime Expo... most likely playable on a dinky little laptop.

Again, thank you all for your support. Without you, this project would not be possible.

That's it for now! Smell ya later!
