Production is about to restart!
almost 4 years ago – Fri, May 01, 2020 at 12:43:58 AM

Good afternoon Quantumers!

I hope you are all staying safe and well! I like Quantumers to be both healthy and happy :D

PRODUCTION IS BACK ON!

Starting Monday 4th, I have been given the go ahead to get back to work on Quantum Suicide :) I still have a small cough and some minor chest concerns, but have been given the nod of approval to begin production! A few hours a day, slowly increasing until I reach the beautiful beautiful dev grind of every waking moment! 

I am going to slowly increase my work time to ensure I don't overdo it and exacerbate my chesty-goodness. Once we hit the 7 day count down, I will put out an update! Once we hit release countdown, I will provide further information on add-ons and physical reward send-outs!

I AM SO HAPPY TO GET BACK TO WORK!! :D

I really want to thank everyone for their continued patience and their well wishes!  And a special shout out to Teofilo, Artist JoePekar and Nayru and MstMori for this beautiful picture :) It made me feel so happy when it was hard to be <3

Game Key Update!

Thank you everyone who has contacted me both those requesting a game key, and those who have asked to wait until those more needing have gotten one! I still have a few last keys for both Damsel and SoulSet, so if you waited to ask for one, now is the time! Please message me either through Kickstarter or Twitter :D

Some more good news: From the team that made Bloody Chronicles! (Igrasil studios!)

War of Ashird: A Strategic Turn-Based JRPG Kickstarter!

War of Ashird has 20 days left on the Kickstarter and they are already over half way funded!!

I am personally already aboard the War of Ashird train - and wish to welcome you all aboard!! My personal suggestion is this tier:

For all of those I disappointed being out of Bloody Chronicles keys - If you back this tier, not only will you get a copy of War of Ashird when it is done, but you will also get Bloody Chronicles in just 20ish days!!

Well - I'd best be off, and start getting everything organised to get a new build out! 

Update coming again soon with our official release countdown!

Health and Progress Update!
about 4 years ago – Sat, Apr 18, 2020 at 02:20:52 AM

Good morning my dearest Quantumers!

I hope everyone is doing well, especially given the world's circumstances! 

I wish to give you all a quick update on my health and Quantum Suicide's progress :)

IS MOLTENCHERRY STILL ALIVE? 

Unfortunately, I'm still ill - however, I do have some good news! I have been able to see a doctor in Japan (and by see - I mean that in every literal sense hahahahaha). I wasn't physically examined or tested for anything (damn - my opportunity for human touch was thwarted), however, I have been given medicines! I was prescribed antibiotics as well as medicines to treat bronchitis and pneumonia and I think some of it must be working because I am slowly but surely getting better! Hooray for the shotgun effect - it's very scientific. I am hoping to be back up and working in about a week <3

Again, I want to apologise for the hold up in Quantum Suicide's release and thank you all so much for your continued patience and support. I don't know what I would do without you all <3

THANK YOU FOR BEING SO PATIENT <3

I understand that a lot of Quantumers are also having a rough time at the moment (and the QS release push back is not helping). Most of you are probably in home quarantine/social distancing measures and some of you may have even lost your jobs or income. So, while I know it isn't much, I asked some of my developer friends to help me with the QS delay by making it possible for me to provide some of you with game keys to help tide you over until QS release. 

I have a number of keys for the following games. If you would like one, please direct message me either here or on Twitter and I will send you a Steam Key for it (if that game title is still available - also please note as I am still ill it probably won't be instant). I will be giving them out on a first come first served basis, and will update in the comment section when particular games are no longer available. I hope that these may help those Quantumers who really need the pick-me-up at the moment and really wish I had enough for everyone <3 

Damsel - Thanks to the ScrewTape Studio crew!  

The Letter - Thanks to the team at YangYang Mobile! 

SoulSet - Thanks to our very own Nayru and MstMori!

And last but not least. . .

Bloody Chronicles - Thanks to our very own TeoFilo, Igrasil Studios and KumihoSoft!

I really do thank all of these developers for their support! 

********Thank you Anthony and Megan from ScrewTape Studios,  the team at YangYang Mobile, Nayru and MstMori from No Bread Studios and Teofilo, Igrasil Studios and KumihoSoft <3 ******************

They were all more than happy to help out when I asked and it really just does cement that we have the greatest community it the world <3 If you don't know of any of these games, please check them out and follow their developers (I have linked their names to their developer pages!). If you do get one of the keys, please leave them a positive review :D

I thank all Quantumers once again from the bottom of my heart for being so supportive and patient and hope to have good news shortly on the development front! Now, if you will excuse me, I need to go lie down for a moment~

<3 MoltenCherry 

P.S - Please make sure to take care of yourselves, and each other <3 

The countdown to release will begin soon!

Good evening Quantumers!!

Remember In the last update, when I said that the game will come out even if I die? Well, my body is giving it a good shot. I am about a week behind in the development. I am so sorry again for the hold up - Quantum Suicide needs just a little longer. I have become quiet sick over the last week, and have only been awake 1-2 hours a day. I am doing my best to recover as quickly as possible, especially given that so many Quantumers are currently in quarantine and would welcome Quantum Suicide as a distraction. 

Before anyone asks, 'do you have Corona Virus?' allow me to answer that. I don't know. I have many of the symptoms but honestly think I probably just have a chest infection or early stage pneumonia (I am prone to both). I followed the procedures in Japan when showing any symptoms and followed directions - including calling ahead to my doctor to ensure that I could be seen. I waited just under an hour in a waiting room for the doctor to then tell me they would not help me and I was turned away. They told me to go elsewhere. We called 'elsewhere' and they told us another 'elsewhere'. This continued until I gave up. I have never been refused medical attention before, but I guess I understand. As a side note, this also explains why Japan has so little virus numbers - no tested patients = no virus hahahahahahaha.

Long story short, I am riding this out and hoping that I will be back to work within days and have a count down for you shortly after (as I said, I am only about a week behind). I know that this is very disappointing, but I am doing my best to get it into your hands as soon as possible!! 

I hope everyone is taking care of themselves, and others! Be safe Quantumers!

The Finish Line is in sight! Release Date Info~!
about 4 years ago – Tue, Feb 18, 2020 at 07:51:17 PM

Gooooood Morning Quantumers!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful New Year and Valentines Day! 

This is a quick update to let you know how the progress is coming along! :D

Current Development

Both myself and our 50 fearless Beta Testing Officers are working around the clock to get Quantum Suicide in tip top shape! 

We currently have all of the VA recorded and received (albeit missing a few lines by accident that we are getting recorded ASAP) and each day, hour after hour, I am putting more of the VA in as well as fixing bug reports from our heroic officers! 

Release Date & What to Expect!

We are pushing hard for our aimed February release (29th Feb), however, I want to be very clear that we won't release a game that is not the best it can be (within reason of course)! Especially given how long you have already waited! Quantumers deserve the best! 

I will put out an update 5-7 days before the launch (as this is how long I need for Steam approval) confirming the release date. If we miss the 29th Feb launch, the game WILL BE released in March. The game is so closed to being finished that there is no way that the game will not be released before the end of March - even if I am hit by a bus and killed, it's so close to being finished that my death won't stop me! *knock on wood I don't actually get hit by a bus - but as I said, QS is covered! Fufufufu~

Thank you everyone for being so patient and allowing us to make the best damn game we can! I really hope you will feel that your patience has paid off once you play Quantum Suicide <3  

Camera Anima - A Quantumer made game!

A fellow Quantumer has just launched their KickStarter campaign and would love your support! 

Visual novel, point and click and a serial killer!!?? YES PLEASE!! 

Here's the games introduction:

"Camera Anima is a point-and-click visual novel adventure game about twin sisters, floating islands, and the Artisan, an automaton who takes the souls of those who meet its face. Taking on the role of Essie Flaversham, pursue the Artisan to save her sister, Giselle, and uncover the truth behind a series of serial murders across decades.

Explore beautifully illustrated environments to solve puzzles, navigate obstacles, find clues, and uncover the secrets behind the Artisan’s dark history."

Well Quantumers. . .

I hope that the news of the release date isn't disappointing, but rather, exciting! I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel (please, please don't be a bus) and it is currently sustaining me! I hope it sustains you too!

Until the next update, announcing the week countdown for the official PC and MAC Quantum Suicide release then . . .

MERRY XMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!
over 4 years ago – Wed, Dec 25, 2019 at 12:40:33 AM

HELLO QUANTUMERS!!

A quick Merry Xmas to all those who celebrate it, and a Happy Holidays for those who don't but enjoy the festive season!!

Three quick points for this festive day!

1. Recasting of Ai/Dai.

Unfortunately due to change of circumstances, the English Ai and Dai voice needed to be recast - but lets us try to make this a happy moment!!

Allow me to Introduce Meggie-Elise as our new Ai and Dai!!

You can follow her HERE on twitter!

2. Present for you~ 

Now, don't get too excited - it isn't another Christmas special (I just don't have the time or money! I wish I did!) However, I couldn't in good conscience leave you all empty handed. So while it's not much, myself and the newly casted Ai/Dai V.A. Meggie-Elise put this together for you to help put you in the festive spirit! 

Lyrics (for those who wish to sing along!):

Verse one:

You better watch out

Don’t bother to hide

If you make me mad

I’ll burn you alive

Christmas Everett time is here.

Verse two:

I am your shepherd

And you are my flock

Keep momma-Dai happy

Or meet the airlock

Christmas Everett time is here.

Chorus One:

Gather around all my friends,

A game we’re gonna play!

I don’t care if you’re bad or good,

As long as you obey!

Verse three:

Stay on task and

on my good side,

And if you are lucky,

I’ll leave you alive

Christmas Dai is giving out gifts!

Verse four:

I want some presents!

Maybe a corpse or two!?

Look at your face, yes,

I think you’ll do

Christmas Dai is receiving gifts!

Chorus two

Even if you are all dead,

The Everett I’ll steer

So turn all those frowns upside down

'Cause Christmas Dai is here!

So now’s your last chance,

Be merry I say!

Play my games with smiles

Or see your last day

Christmas time's the best time of year!

Christmas Dai’s the best Dai!

Christmas time's the best time of year!

3. BETA TESTING IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!

Thank you to everyone who signed up for the Beta testing (and sent me your NDAs!) You will have a build, instructions and access to the Officer's Lounge in Discord within the week!

I am sorry for the delay! After some careful consideration, I have decided to go ahead with the PC and Mac launch using the Renpy Engine and finishing off the Unity version for the PC ports. I have spent the last few weeks getting the Renpy build ready! The reason for the change is that I am much more proficient in Renpy than Unity, and even with assistance it is taking too long in Unity! I hope you all understand this change and support it for our February release!

The Beta build will still need your reports! (Though it's not yet perfect!) However, apart from V.A, the game and menus/features will be all there and ready for you to play!

Well Quantumers, I hope you have a great Holiday period! I had best get back to work if this Beta is going out before the year's end!
