Why Early Access?

“The reason for using early access is because we want to receive support from everyone to continue development. We are a small web design company in Kyoto, Japan. We love Kyoto and we also want to serve Kyoto.

"Kyoto Tanoji Quest" is a browser game set in 12 shopping districts in downtown center of Kyoto. While enjoying the game, We made it with the thought that if people around the world were to be informed about the charm of Kyoto and shopping districts. With the cooperation and approval from Kyoto city and each shopping district, the plan of this game has been realized.

At the moment it is the state of the prototype. In the future, in order to be able to play as many people as possible, it is necessary to improve to a game that allows players to enjoy and play while expressing the charm of Kyoto more precisely we believe there is. The biggest reason for early access is to give feedback from everyone about the idea to make the game interesting.

In addition, we will finance the future development funds 100% at our company, but it is very difficult situation. If you are interested in helping development funding, if you would like to be a sponsor, or would like to request the production of a website incorporating browser games, we would be grateful if you could contact us.”
