Dear Users,

Orthodox 2D Side Scrolling Action Game “Steel Sword Story” has got a brand new Hard mode.
Choose the “Gamer” mode from the title screen and prepare yourself for a brutal challenge.



Gamer mode adjustments:

• Main character Azul’s HP and MP have been lowered.
  
• Enemy actions and movements have been updated.

Enemies move faster, hit harder and have more moves, making combat challenging but fair.

This mode won’t make it easy for you at all.
Can you manage a no death run?



Also the new version has been optimized so frame rate and other performance issues have been smoothed out for an all round better gaming experience.

Take up the challenge! Steel Sword Story Gamer Mode is waiting for you!

Dear players,

Touhou Luna Nights, which saw its final update roll out on June 15th, has officially topped 100,000 downloads!



It’s thanks to the invaluable support and reviews of players like you that we were able to pass this significant milestone less than four months after the Ver. 1.0 release on February 26th.
Thank you all so much!

Below we’ve got a comment received from the developers at Team Ladybug!



To be honest, we are truly surprised by all the support we’ve received from so many players out there. We are extremely happy to see how much players like the graphics and game systems we’ve worked so hard to create. From here on out, we will continue to strive to create games enjoyable by both children and adults alike, and we greatly appreciate your invaluable and ongoing support.
-Team Ladybug

Also, we’ve implemented fixes for the “Dash” feature that everyone requested.

1) Dash now ends when the lever is in neutral
2) Dash now ends and the character dodges backward when attacking and pushing the lever left or right during Dash



Finally, we’ve also implemented the German language support we promised earlier.

There’s a brand new mode available after clearing Boss Rush, so keep playing Touhou Luna Nights and see if you can make it all the way through!

Hey, it's Naramura. It's been awhile.

For Japan, the console release date has been set and preorders for the package version have begun, but we're still in talks regarding what to do for regions outside of Japan.

This is due to the fact that this physical version release is a really huge thing for us, and we've decided that it would be nigh impossible for us to handle both Japan and non-Japan versions simultaneously on our own.

There are no Japanese indie publishers with their very own distribution line, and our domestic Japanese distributor, KONAMI (yeah, that KONAMI. That's right - La-Mulana is getting released by KONAMI.) is technically a separate company from KONAMI overseas.

So while I can't promise anything, if and when we do go for an overseas release, we hope to do something kinda special to commemorate it.


Anyways. The porting work that we ended up being fully involved in is almost totally finished.

Now, I'm going to start working on the production of rewards.

On a related note, today I'd like to ask for everyone's opinion on the t-shirts.



The staff t-shirts we wore when showing off the finished title at the 2018 Tokyo Game Show have undergone a renewal.

However, I don't think there will be any more opportunities for us to show off the game at events here in Japan. Therefore, we've only made several of these t-shirts.



This is the design we've been using ever since we started up the Kickstarter campaign.

There are several of these out in the wild here in Japan, mainly in the hands of super passionate fans and people who've helped us out a lot. I think we may have even given a couple to some indie devs from overseas as well.


I feel like this design - with Lumisa looking all bad-ass - is the way to go for the reward t-shirts. I dig this design. But I can't make up my mind on which design to go with.

Personally, I feel like the second one - the older design - is more symbolic of Kickstarter, but what do you think?

I guess the colors would be the same, but it also depends on the colors available at the t-shirt printing company we use.

As for text, should we stick "Kickstarter" or "LA-MULANA Project" or something like that on it, or something like "I'm a Backer!" in big, in-your-face text?
