Hope it finally gets released this year.

Has Toby been announced to make music for this? Haven't heard anything.

I saw it on the Kickstarter page and on their official website. Seems the tracks from Bowen and Fox (among others artists) will be available once the "Omori Jukebox" side quest is completed.

Forgot all about this game. Been following it since the KS (even though I didn't put in). Good to see they're still chipping away at this, I'm pretty excited.

 

[Solid SOAP]

I'd love to see this come to 3DS if they can actually pull it off

 

[Clov]

Looks great! I love the art style. Is there a Vita version confirmed for it? I think I'd prefer to play on that then my 3DS, if possible.

 

[wmlk]

This looks amazing.

 

[ZeroX03]

Good thing it didn't turn out to be vaporware, kickstarter had some red flags and they had awful communication to boot.

That 3DS port isn't happening though.

 

[Galang]

One of the few games I'll be picking up DAY 1. Looks great!

 

[Solid SOAP]

For those saying no 3DS port; Why is that an absolute no? It was a stretch goal, have they legit confirmed no port? I'd 100% buy this on 3DS as opposed to PC.

 

[TheChits]

Really excited for this

 

[brad-t]

Yep

Eh? I don't really get how this looks like Earthbound.

 

[Pinko Marx]

Eh? I don't really get how this looks like Earthbound.

Its definitely following in the spirit of Earthbound. This isn't a knock against the game or to say that its unoriginal, but if you told me you couldn't see a Mother influence in the past 2 trailers then I'd call you blind.

Because they're struggling with developing the game as is and it would require ground up development for the 3DS version. RPG Maker MV does support HTML5 but a regular 3DS won't play nice with that. Throw in the team's lack of experience with anything outside of RPG Maker and the 3DS winding down, and it seems like moving to Switch is the far better option. Last I heard they were going to try and outsource the 3DS version or something? Expensive task there.

No reason mobile ports should be out of the question though, that's what RPG Maker MV is designed for.

I don't mean to be a jerk by bumping but I've checked their twitter and their website, no update in 5 months since January about a release date or anything. I'm sure they're busy making the game, so best of wishes on it.

 

[GhostBed]

The lack of updates has been pretty frustrating. The whole development has felt like a big mystery.

 

[Fireblend]

Damn, got excited thinking we got some news. Hope this eventually comes out.

Was just scrolling through Facebook and noticed that Omocat just posted the latest update to their Kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/omocat/omori/posts/1908162

There's a lot of info in there, including info on a 3DS port, Mac port, Japanese localization, length of game, and more. One of the highlights that Omocat points out specifically is a change in the engine:

For the past few months, we’ve been working on modifying a new game engine for OMORI since to put it briefly, RPGMaker was not able to handle the visual load of our game. We’ve just about finished modifying the engine and have been working tirelessly to optimize the engine’s code and transfer over our current assets. It’s a time-consuming process for the entire team, especially our programmers, so the creative team is using this time to improve the game in all aspects including visuals and gameplay. Since it’s been quite a while since the Kickstarter campaign, I figure I should go over the features of the game once again in accordance to what has changed during the course of production.

Hopefully this game can get finished up in a timely manner now.

Wait this is coming to 3ds? Now I'm interested. 3ds really refuses to die.

 

[SOME-MIST]

Soooo is there still no way in hell the game is releasing on 3ds?

Cause that's still the version I wanted to choose

The update says it is releasing on 3ds.

Nice! The first page of this thread had me pretty discouraged.

Bump coz I recently rediscovered this game. Glad to see it didn't just vanish, that first trailer got me good. Should finally be releasing "soon." Looks like 3DS version got changed to Switch version.
