Development and Optimization

This work will be developed by the doujin circle Goblin Software, which belongs to Goblin Software’s short series. We also invite you to play the first work of the series, known as ‘Reiwa Rare Story’. Due to performance and optimization issues with Chinese engines, this work will be developed using the Argentine open-source engine Godot. After its release, we will also consider open-sourcing the framework of our game on free web.

Compatibility and Performance

The game will undergo some optimization for compatibility tests with the Tongxin UOS system. Players using Chinese systems can rest assured and enjoy the game on Chinese-Made OS.
