The wait is finally over…! And I hope it was worth it.

It was certainly a good thing for me that the fact that not one but two of the SFX groups I had been buying packs from were revealed as thieves reselling stolen assetsWAIT LET MEEXPLAIN! I mean that the extra time was good to have!

Why? Because on top of having to rebuy sound effects from other sources, it granted me enough leeway to finish Yakuza 0 in my spare time and… I’m so glad.

Not just because it’s a great game, incredibly fun, my first Yakuza game, but also because the game design of it gave me SO many ideas for REFRAIN and other games going forward! JPDE1REFRAIN was always going to be a better looking and expanded version of the original, but playing Yakuza 0 showed me how I could do that in ways I had never thought of.

You’re going to see, in this GAMEPLAY DEMO, how that looks like. You’ll see how the writing has improved and the beginning of the game has been expanded. You’ll see how talking and exploring has been revamped. You’ll see how I took to heart the lessons learned while developing JPDE2 and BABELOMANIA but, most importantly, you’ll see how we’re going to make the City of Vale a character in itself.

I’m extremely proud of the work the team has done for REFRAIN and I can’t wait to see you play it and react to it! Also, BIG shoutout and thanks to our supporters on Patreon and KoFi. Without our supporters, we wouldn’t be able to make the games we make. So, without further ado, get ready to dive back in the world of JPDE! ENJOY!

Hello thar, Meinos Kaen here… And the Road to Emerald begins.

What that means? It means that this is the first of the updates which will bring us to JPDE 5.0, which will include Emerald’s Custom Ending and bring Sonata of Fire ever so close to its FINAL FORM.

This is a first step! This update, 4.6, contains a LOT of bug fixes -thank you, Renpy god, for the constant updates that make life so much easier!- and a much requested feature: YOU CAN NOW SKIP ALL THE BATTLE CONTENT IN THE GAME WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE STORY!

That’s right! While we are reworking and updating the battle system to something more humane, helped by the experience we’ve gained in developing JPDE2 [which is A DIRECT SEQUEL TO JPDE1, it seems that a lot of people were confused about that!] you will now be able to skip everything, making repeated plays much quicker! Right now, you can only choose to battle or not battle at the beginning of the game but that will also disappear once the new battle system is in place.

More features are coming! A fully functional gallery, music player, and MORE! JPDE2 may be the future, but JPDE1 is not done just yet!
