Sekai Project and love in Space are teaming up to bring you Shining Song Starnova, a mature game all about the Japanese idol industry.
Hi Everyone,
So last update we talked about getting the box design done and we're proud to show it off now.
Also the artbook is done and will be distributed shortly after this update! Let us know what you think!
Lastly and most unfortunately, we're still waiting on approval for distribution on Steam, so hold tight.
Hello Everyone!
Hope everyone has had the opportunity to play Shining Song Starnova. It's been a long journey but we're glad the game is out as well as the music for this latest work by Love in Space.
In terms of updates, we're currently preparing to get the many physical rewards in this campaign printed. At the same time we're also finalizing the box design for the physical edition of the game. Once that's done we'll have an update for everyone to see before we send the design and data to the printers. Lastly, the artbook design is nearly complete but we're still waiting on a couple things to confirm before we'll be able to get the digital version out to backers and to the general public.
Thank you again for supporting this campaign and your continued patience as we get everything ready for fulfillment.
While we are at it, we wanted to throw a shout out to our friends over at Lunaniere who are developing a wonderful otome game called, Wishes In Pen: Chrysanthemums in August. This game is set in during the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate before the start of the Boshin War and certainly history buffs will enjoy these touches. A tale of intrigue as a girl from modern day Tokyo finds herself transported back in time into an age of turbulence and chaos. How will she find her way back home? Perhaps even love can bloom on the battlefield?
Wishes in Pen: Chrysanthemums in August is currently being crowdfunded on Kickstarter and with 17 days to go they are almost 50% funded but they can use all the support they can get so definitely check it out! If you're curious about the game, there is also a demo as well.
Hey everyone,
Thanks for your patience. The wait is finally over! GOG codes for the game have been distributed to all backers! You've probably received an email about it, but if not, check your Backerkit account and find your code under the "Digital Downloads" section. Windows and Mac versions of the game are currently available, and Linux will be available tomorrow. We hope you enjoy the game - everyone at Love In Space and Sekai Project are really excited for you guys to finally have the chance to play it.
The GOG version of the game is the all-ages version, but you can get the free adult patch on Denpasoft right away and patch your game to enjoy the adult version right away. If you prefer to wait, Denpasoft keys will be distributed this Wednesday, which will be for the 18+ version of the game.
Steam keys will still be distributed to backers at a later date. Additional digital rewards such as the OST will also be distributed within the coming weeks.
Thanks for your patience and support, and please enjoy Shining Song Starnova! \o/
We've identified an issue that has occurred during the data transfer with the GOG Windows version of Shining Song Starnova that is causing a font based exception while the game is running, we're currently working on getting this re-uploaded now to correct the issue.
In the meantime you can hot patch this yourself by going into the '\game' and creating a folder called: fonts .
Once created go to the following URL: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CXaBE2Fuq6uMrUzv8YfDIVWVryOEIuhU to download the missing font, you will then need to drop the .ttf file into the new fonts folder.
For those having difficulties downloading the game after redeeming your key you will need to download the game through GOG Galaxy (their own platform) if you plan to play/download before the official release: https://www.gog.com/galaxy .
We are pleased to announce that the public release of Shining Song Starnova will be on Wednesday 25th July! We hope that like us that now being able to put the game itself against a date allows you to have one of two reactions:
[If none of the above do let us know us know in the comment section what reactions we have missed out].
Getting things back on track this therefore means that we'll now be working towards getting the digital keys out to those of you who qualify so that you can either get a head start or preload ready for the day itself.
For this we have requested keys from GOG and it will be these that we try to distribute on Monday. There is still a bit of a conditional factor to this as it will all be dependent on when we get them so please keep in mind that while we are keeping a close eye on events to keep things going smoothly that there may still be some changes on the day.
In regards to Denpasoft keys these are due to be printed on the day of release (Wednesday) and unfortunately cannot be distributed sooner.
Thanks once again for your patience as we did our reassessments over the last couple of days and we'll be back in touch once we have new information or updates.
See you at the live!
