General Umihara Kawase Discussion / Re: Are there any scans of the...

Just got around to taking pics of my Shun artbook. This one has more assets used in-game (since they were all hand-drawn) and also storyboards for the various cutscenes (and a commercial for the game), but there is still some original art.

I've ordered this for proper scanning. I'll post here when it's up.

They posted the gameplay video 15 hours ago:

I'm probably misremembering but I noticed the spring hook is being shot out much faster than in Umihara Kawase Fresh as was mentioned in a tweet from Studio Saizensen that I posted here earlier.

A few things.

The voice actor of the character Aaurae Mawkish is Madoka Hiraide: https://twitter.com/myastere/status/1377425981577646080?s=19

There will be a gameplay video showing off the skills you can do in the game on Wednesday April 7th 2021: https://twitter.com/myastere/status/1377850945808125956?s=19

The Studio Saizensen Twitter account tweeted that the rubber ring movement performance of the spring wire in Myastere is 1.8 times higher than in... What I assume they are comparing to is Umihara Kawase Fresh: https://twitter.com/st_saizensen/status/1377837392204197888?s=19

They posted a link to a portion of the BGM (The main theme) that wasn't played during their promotional video of Myastere. Link: https://limee.jp/spa/listen/tPEGltWY4VCz6h8f5trS#

And now the official site has an English webpage: https://myastere.jp/en/index.html

I'm excited for it! Looks like it's in the Fresh engine again and is clearly reusing the same general "fantasy kingdom with a rift that's letting out miasma and demons" setup, though to be fair it wasn't the most original setting in the world to begin with heh. Love the look.

Really excited to give it a go, and not too long to wait. Do we know exactly who's working on it?

I don't know. There's also an official Twitter account for the game so maybe if they link any interviews from outlets like Famitsu then maybe it might reveal some people who are working on it.

Oh wow! Thanks for posting this here man.

That price is a lot more reasonable than Fresh, too.

Surprised I didn't see anyone post this yesterday.

Summary from Gematsu: https://www.gematsu.com/2021/03/myastere-ruins-of-deazniff-launches-april-15-for-switch-pc

Official site: https://myastere.jp/jp/index.html

Steam webpage: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1557510/Myastere_Ruins_of_Deazniff/

Studio Saizensen have clearly not wanted to put their idea of a spring-wire action game as a metroidvania to bed after how Umihara Kawase Fresh was received so to try that idea once again they went with making a new IP as to not be bound by the conventions of Umihara Kawase.

Myastere: Ruins of Deazniff is developed by Studio Saizensen and Success. The publisher of this game is DIGIMERCE Inc.

It is releasing on April 15th 2021 through Steam and the Switch eShop. The currently known price is ¥2200.

Here's the trailer for the game:

Can't link the ROM directly, but if anyone wants a link to the ROM, send me a message and we'll sort something out off-site.

hi im an old school dinosaur who never really got into emulators or romhacking,
the most i did was kill my old laptop backi in the day downloading mugen.
im very much interested in trying this rom hack, and also emulating some child hood classics( u guys ever play teambuddies for ps1?)
but i have no idead where to start . how would i get the emulator and rom for uk. i baoght the game on steam so i own it legally

Download Umihara Kawase (Japan) ROM (usually comes in a .zip file, you will need to uncompress it to get the needed .sfc file, I recommend the program 7-zip) and the .ips file in the OP
Download and open the program LunarIPS.
Click "Apply patch", select "Umihara Kawase Christmas Community Challenge.ips", and lastly select "Umihara Kawase (Japan).sfc". It will prompt you to create a name for the patched game which can be anything
Download and open SNES9x, press "File" and "Open" then select the patched ROM you saved from the above step. You will likely need to rebind your controls which is an option in another menu

I and my friend did an episode of our podcast dedicated to the series!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=482kn7RxxMw

We normally cover Donkey Kong related stuff but we've both just fallen so much in love with UK that we decided to dedicate an episode to it

It's in my watch later list for when I get a spare few hours! Looking forward to listening!
