A Rough Start

But that's how we like it. 

This past week Zuripai Sama has been working many frantic late nights to get a playable version of the Paizuri University - Prologue out to play. Which was to be happily released on January 28th... 

Cept that's not what happened. 

What date is it now... February 5th? 

...What the fuck happened?

Simple. The engine we were using had no support for options, no music or sound volume control. Or anything you'd expect to see in a modern game.

Here's how it went down.

Zuripai Sama says: "ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY?! NO OPTION CONTROLS FOR AUDIO! What is this, 1992? I'm not releasing a game where I know people are going to bitch about the audio levels from the get go! Fuck this engine. I'm going to write our own!!!"

Bukacain says: "KK, you do that."

And so, using Unity to save some time, a new VN engine was born. The Zurizuri Engine.  From this will come many fun and sexy visual novels for your enjoyment, and is helped us get one early step closer to creating more ambitious games.

Why was any of that even a problem anyway. No audio control in browser or in standalone games, with normalized sound files would make it either sound to soft, to loud or ear drum destroyingly loud for players. None of which is exactly the impression you want to leave on people. Something had to be done and Zuripai Sama's answer to that was a new engine ...a bit extreme, but whatever...

While all that has been happening Bukacain has been sitting back casually drawing new characters and H-Scenes for Chapter 1 of Paizuri University. 

So when is the PU - Prologue coming out. We will be releasing the Web version for free, later today. Followed by sharing standalone builds and prototype builds. This is a little backwards from all future releases, and will be the only time we do it this way.

We hope y'all lookin forward to Paizuri University - Prologue!

And please, don't forget to drink your milk.
