As 2019 Ends, Let’s Talk About the Moon

[UPDATE 27/08/20: moon is now available worldwide on the Nintendo Switch!]

Well, the year is almost over, and it was a good one for me — thank you very much for all of your support as we released Dandy Dungeon on Switch and Steam, and moon on Switch here in Japan.

I’ve been looking over comments you’ve all been leaving on our Discord and our Twitter lately, and I think it’s well past time to give you some direct progress updates from our little studio.

I know we said the English release of moon would be “coming very soon”, and clearly that was a little optimistic. I’m really sorry it’s taking this long, but the translation and implementation of moon is… very delicate. We need more time to finish it, but please rest assured the English version is still on the way, and we hope you can be patient with us!

The English version of moon is being prepared by a tiny, tiny Onion team. I mean… Onion Games itself is very, very small, but these Tiny Onions are working very hard, every day, to get everything ready for you.

The localization of moon is actually going great! But there are many, many more things involved than just translating the text. I’d say that the translation itself is more than 70% done, implementing that translation is around 20% done, and then debugging and checking the translation is about 5% done.

I think, all added up, the project as a whole is at about 40% done…. probably!

We have all been working incredibly hard lately, juggling multiple projects and issues at once (including…. new games no-one’s even seen yet!). But that means even though we’re working hard, we’re working slow. I hope everyone is ok waiting until everything is really, truly ready!

Personally, I want to be even more involved than usual in the localization process, and also contributing more to our New Game Ideas, but… to tell the truth.. my brain, my body… my mind are all so, so exhausted.

I need a proper rest. I have been working too much this year. I need just a little time to recover ahead of everything we’ll have coming in 2020.

Give me time!

Give us more time, please!

Thank you very much,
Yoshiro Kimura

So, what’s different about the Windows/Mac version of the game? Well, it contains all of the rebalancing and refining that went into the super-acclaimed Nintendo Switch version (just look at all of these amazing reviews!), including its own world leaderboard that will track the best dungeon runs of you, and all of your friends on Steam!

It also features full support for your favorite controller, as well as a new mouse and keyboard scheme that makes tracing your path through the dungeon as easy as it ever was on a touchscreen!

HEY… WHATEVER HAPPENED TO DANDY DUNGEON 2?

Now that Dandy Dungeon has been released on new platforms, you’re probably wondering… where’s that huge update we promised several months ago? Well, we decided that giving you an entirely free update that more than doubles the size of the game.. wasn’t quite enough.

So, when the update arrives — on both Steam and Switch — it will include a brand new feature! A new mode never before seen in Dandy Dungeon, anywhere! Something really cool! That’s all we have to say about that for now, but… it’s coming soon!
