Looking foward.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

The character design looks sick af imo. Really looking forward to finding out more about this one.

My brain read that as Cyanide first and briefly wondered if they must have been on an Anime binge or something before making this.

 

[mejin]

Holy shit. This is damn good

Unfortunately, this is one of those studios I don't trust. They are big in the mobile space but have done very little in the console space.

Still waiting on Project Awakening btw....

I remember reading about this game back in 2021, it looks nice.

 

[Kurotri]

Looks great. However, I keep wondering...what happened to that other game from Cygames?



Edit: Holy shit I just realized the music is done by Shiro Sagisu!

We did get this cool tech demo 2 years ago, but other than that crickets...

 

[RoadHazard]

That sure is a name.

GAMM GAAMMMMMM

As If I'm not already confused by all of these anime RPG/Gacha games that are coming out of the woodwork now.

Companies that start out primarily in the mobile space have very different expectations in terms of product development time-scales than those coming from console/pc gaming.
For them its normal to spend an inordinate amount of time and effort tweaking the visuals and overall presentation in order to hit their target audience; you can see this with Granblue Relink, which despite being shown in a highly polished and playable state several years ago, still isn't going to arrive until 2024.

I really would not be surprised to see more from Project Awakening (or whatever its now called) down the line, but I'd expect it to look different and more refined as a result of them honing their vision.
