Project Saeba

(meow~! after a nap, I reuploaded the game with a fix for a very small issue that made menus not work correctly for mouse and keyboard players if they don’t have a controller plugged in)

Um~ so a few things, meow~

First, you may have noticed, this says “Project Saeba” now! That’s because “Saeba” is no longer being treated as the actual name of this game. I’ve wanted to change the name of this project for a long time, and I’ve decided now is the time to begin renaming it!

You’re probably curious about why~ and the actual reason is that I’ve never had any attachment to the name “Saeba,” even from the beginning, meow~ After I was told I should make a Patreon so people could play my game, and was also given advice about where to share it, I realized the game didn’t have a name (at the time, it was just called “name tbd ecchi fighter”), so I quickly picked the first thing that came to mind and made a quick logo so people who tried it would have something to call it~ So, since the name has no thought behind it and means nothing to this project, the game will be receiving a new name and logo as soon as they are ready meow! ^w^

Secondly, I recently realized that this is actually a remake of the entire game! So I’ve begun calling this a remake instead of an “overhaul,” as most of the foundational systems have been completely rebuilt and replaced, along with the genre, vision, sound design, and more, and the rest might be rewritten in the versions after this one~

As a result of the remake in progress, the city doesn’t actually function anymore and isn’t a part of this version of the game. Even if it did, it’s far below the visual quality standards I set for this game (which makes sense~ even at the time, it was a placeholder, just like everything else), and I’d rather remake it than try to fix it~ ^w^; meow~

This means the patreon version and the free versions are actually the same version this time! But, you’ve all been very supportive and patient, so if you would prefer it, I can quickly fix up the old placeholder city and put it back in for the patreon version!

Along with the name, I want to begin remaking this Patreon to match~ The format of this Patreon hasn’t matched my actual development schedule since the remake began, and after breaking away from that old format is when I finally felt like I had time to do what was most important for this game’s future~! So, to make it official and manage expectations (and to match the game), I want to remake the Patreon, including the banner, tier descriptions, and more!

I really want to say thank you to everyone who has followed the project up to this point! And thank you for continuing to allow me to develop the game without rushing or crunching myself! :3

I know during development I’m usually really quiet, but that’s only because I don’t want to overhype anything or get anyone’s hopes up. I’d rather let the game speak for itself! Any time I spend making large posts about my plans or features being built can be invested in developing the game itself! I think~ ^w^;

But please, have fun, meow~! I hope you enjoy this version of Project Saeba! I’ll keep working hard to make this the best ecchi game I can!
