Project Progress Update #23: Monthly Report (September 2020)
over 3 years ago
– Wed, Sep 09, 2020 at 10:09:09 PM
Greetings everyone,
Today we want to share with you the monthly progress report on the Sharin no Kuni project.
■ About the development of the VITA version:
Debugging and final adjustments of the localized UI are still in progress. As we have stated in previous updates, we apologize for not being able to give a more in-depth explanation of these final processes due to the VITA regulations we must comply with.
■ About the development of the PC version:
Debugging for the PC version is also in progress, in tandem with debugging for the VITA version.
■ About shipping of the physical merchandise:
Excluding the game itself, currently 90% of the physical goods are manufactured and ready to be shipped from our warehouse.
We are currently waiting for the remaining 10% of goods, which has been delayed due to COVID-19 related issues as well as flooding that has been affecting the southern region of China.
Although we must admit that our original schedule has been severely delayed at this point, this does not mean in the slightest that we will be unable to deliver these goods to you.
We apologize for all the delays we have been experiencing up until now, but we will persevere and work as hard as we can so that all the goods can be delivered to everyone.
Frontwing Monthly Schedule Update (July)
over 3 years ago
– Mon, Aug 24, 2020 at 10:41:59 AM
Hello everyone,
This is the monthly status update of Frontwing projects corresponding to the month of July. Let us apologize first for the enormous delay in sharing this update.
Specific countries are still being added and removed from the International postal services from Japan, and in some specific cases like the United States, most of the usual shipping methods are still not available. More information can be found at: https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/information/2020/0806_01_en.html
While working on item production we are also currently devising other possible avenues to ship the rewards if this situation continues, and will let you know about these possibilities when the shipping date comes closer.
Project Progress Update #22: VITA Version Development Progress & Goods Shipping Information (3)
over 3 years ago
– Tue, Aug 04, 2020 at 12:40:19 PM
Greetings everyone,
Today we want to share a follow-up to the information we gave you last month about the development of the VITA version and the shipment plans for the physical goods.
■ About the development of the VITA version:
We are currently in the latest stages of development and debugging of the UI and other graphical aspects of the game.
Due to the regulations we must follow in order to release the game on the VITA, we unfortunately cannot share with you the exact point and/or details in the manufacturing process, but please rest assured we are making steady progress.
■ About shipping of the physical merchandise:
As we said in last month's update, almost all physical merchandise has already reached our warehouse and is safely stored waiting to be shipped as you could see in the photos we shared with you. Production of the few remaining goods left was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and that is the reason they have still not reached our warehouse.
However, the delivery schedule for these goods has already been decided, which enables us to finally work on fixing a specific date for shipping over the next month.
Our apologies for all the issues this project has been experiencing, and thank you once more for your patience and understanding.
However, since shipping to various Asian and European countries has already resumed, we expect more countries to follow and will keep you updated with this information.
Project Progress Update #21: VITA Version Development Progress & Goods Shipping Information (2)
almost 4 years ago
– Fri, Jul 03, 2020 at 10:06:23 PM
Greetings everyone,
Today we want to continue keeping you up-to-date about the status of the VITA version of the game and physical goods shipping as we did last month.
■ VITA version development status
In this update, we want to ease the worries of our backers about the VITA version by sharing the latest development status of the project, along with new screenshots.
Current Vita version status and screenshot showcase:
Currently, the VITA version is in its debug phase, paying special attention to graphics-related issues. This process aims to check for instances of untranslated strings of text in the UI of the game and fix them both text- and design-wise.
In the last update we shared with you some screenshots showcasing the heroines of the game, so this time we would like to show you new ones, including some from the Hozuki Chapters! (Please keep in mind that these screenshots are from a title in development and thus the final product is subject to change.).

A scene from the Hozuki Chapter featuring Miina Saika

The project team is working as hard as possible and are determined to bring these characters and the amazing story they tell to our players. We are aware of the disappointment many of you are feeling with these continuous and long delays caused by unexpected problems happening in succession, but we would still like to ask you to support us until the end.
About shipping of physical merchandise:
Except for just a few products, all the merchandise is already waiting for shipment in our warehouse, as you can see in the photos below:
Sharin no Kuni Artbook
Natsumi Bed Sheets
Other goods ready to be shipped
As you can see, goods manufacturing and preparations for shipping are proceeding smoothly. However, since shipping worldwide is still stopped due to the effect of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), it is difficult to proceed with our original shipping schedule.
Shipping to some Asian and European countries resumed in June, so we will keep monitoring any updates and will announce the specific shipping timeframe in future updates.
