Hi, everyone.

Today is November 14, a special day for both me and the game. It's my birthday, sure, but it also marks when Gensokyo Odyssey began development 3 years ago.

Three years is of course a long time, and yet, it feels like yesterday when I was just starting to envision the game and characters like Kakkoi. It's been quite the journey, filled with challenges, learning experiences, and joyful moments, and seeing all the work and love everyone put into this game finally be shown and playable for everyone to enjoy is very rewarding. I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your support and enthusiasm for Gensokyo Odyssey. Seeing your kind comments, fan art (especially the fan art wow), and excitement for the game has been incredibly motivating and heartwarming. I'm grateful to have such a wonderful community around this project.

While there's still much more to come for Gensokyo Odyssey, I'm proud and happy with what we've achieved so far. I hope this project continues to bring joy and entertainment to everybody, and I look forward to seeing where it will go in the future.


Much like Gensokyo Odyssey itself, this tiny minigame that was meant to be a small joke cookie-clicker type Easter egg for the game is growing into something bigger. I don't want to spoil a lot of it, but here's a little sneak peek at some screenshots.


Yes, it's happening. I've been asked many, many times to release a Kakkoi fumo. I've considered it many times, but the cost to produce them is high and isn't something I can pay for out of pocket. And even so, don't know if there would be enough interest in them to make it worth the cost. So heres the deal-- if we reach the fundraising goal of $1000 by around a month from now, I will release and produce a Kakkoi Fumo plush. If we don't reach the 1000$ goal, those who have donated will not be charged and the plush will not be made.

I've made a Kickstarter campaign where you can pledge money towards the goal and receive Kakkoi fumo(s) and exclusive Gensokyo Odyssey merchandise. This technically counts as ordering for the fumos too, so if you ever in your life want or plan on buying a Kakkoi fumo, now is the time to do it. Usually, fumos cost around 60$ now (or from scalpers, around 200$), but those prices are with the main intention of profit and use artificial scarcity to drive prices higher. If I make a Kakkoi fumo, I'd like to make it more accessible to the average fan, so for those who pledge in the Kickstarter within a month, the price to receive a Kakkoi fumo is 30$. After that, it will go up to 40$ and stay there if produced. For more information you can check out the Kickstarter page.

So there you have it! If you want to see a Kakkoi Fumo become a reality, pledge to the Kickstarter and help us reach our goal. Thank you for considering and supporting us on this endeavor!
