Seems like it has Java Island and Javanese culture as its setting.
From Gunungan Wayang, traditional male Javanese clothing, jalur Pantura, and so on 🤔

They should do the route of other indie game store like DLsite: supporting every single payment processor whenever possible.

They even have things like Indonesian QRIS or Chinese AliPay. Basically bypassing any American payment system.

No matter how fun it may be, as a 50+ year old man, I just can't bring myself to try out a game about racing "horse girls"..

It feels like these kind of opinion only exist in the West...

I live in a country where anime style is just an art style. Whether you're old or not, no one judge you by it. The older gen growing up with Doraemon, Kamen Rider, Sailor Moon, or other Japanese media. It's just cool stuff to have.

@Linas This seems like an extreme case.
No other artist will angry at their game screenshot being shared by fellow creator of the same project.

There might be some unknown problem that we don't know.

Quoting: elmapulhonestly im tired of people suming up kadokawa as from software owners...
they are like... 1/3 of the anime industry? their gaming marketshare isnt even comparable.
if we consider that sony already own other anime companies and they own the biggest distributors of anime outside of japan (crunchroll and the former funimation that joined crunchroll)
this is a big monopoly!

Yep. Not just anime, manga, and games.

They're a big behemoth of light novel publishing.
Saekano, Re:Zero, Konosuba, almost all big hit light novel are their release.

Dwango's NicoNicoDouga (Japanese streaming platform) is also owned by them.

Their global presence also widespread, from Phoenix Gramedia (Indonesia), Bookwalker Taiwan, Anime News Network, Yes Press, Guangzhou Tianwen Kadokawa A&C, Kadokawa Gempak Starz (Malaysia), and so on.

Even all of these notable manga label/magazine are from them. I'm sure majority of you might not recognize these, but you might already read or even watch anime/live action adaptation from these label. ( even majority of "manga reader" only know Shueisha's Shonen Jump lol).

Lately I've seen more and more instance of GIMP being used in various education, especially on design educational Facebook group in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

It's far better than randomly pirating Photoshop and getting malware (more than 50% got actual malware, based on my experience fixing people's PC).

I hope this new release will make it grow faster, both in number of user and new feature release.

They should had generalized fediverse link as well.
I've seen some Japanese developer are now on instance like misskey.design, misskey.io, or misskey.doujin.games.

I wish they release the game on Steam, just for regional pricing feature...

Also Wick Editor: https://github.com/Wicklets/wick-editor [External Link] https://www.wickeditor.com [External Link]

It's more similar to good old Flash, with 2D animation capabilities.

Despite receive support from Mozilla and several other origanization, the development seems stuck at the moment. The latest commit were in 2021.
