TL;DR:

1. Mizuchi's Steam trading card is now live - fire up the game and start collecting! 2. A guide to Mizuchi's 5 endings. Did you know all endings work together to give you a satisfying emotional closure? 3. Mizuchi's physical console release in Asia! 4. Language updates! Chinese and Japanese are coming soon. 5. Wishlist our upcoming game - Red Rebellion. Disclosure: This announcement is written by a fan volunteer. You may see overexcitement in the choice of words, which does not reflect the character of our writer - who's always way too modest.

1. Mizuchi's Steam trading cards are now live!

One day, when casually browsing Mizuchi's Steam backend, our dev noticed something unusual- the button "trading card" was no longer greyed out. Wow! Mizuchi was now eligible for trading card drop! How nice! So, yeah, the team quickly designed the cards.
You can get 7 or 8 free card drops just by playing the game. Along with the card update, we've also fixed some text and added some extra stuff. If you haven't finished the game, NOW is the time to jump back in!

2. A guide to Mizuchi's 5 endings. Did you know all endings work together to give you a satisfying emotional closure?

As a super fan, let me tell youif you havent played through all the routes, you havent experienced the full emotional impact of the story and got all the mystery tied up. I'm not making this up. Another critic had a similar thought - There are many layers of meaning, and its nice to ponder them after playingit will leave an imprint on my gamer heart. (translated from French) JRPGFR I know figuring out all the endings can be a mystery. We're lucky because one of our early players has whipped up a guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2328927189

3. Mizuchi's physical console release in Asia!

Its surreal to see a physical copy of Mizuchi finally in the hands of one of our teammates! This wouldnt have been possible without the support from our early fans. It must have been your many positive reviews that helped our game get noticed by our console publishers! So... a big thank you! If you want to grab a copyhttps://mizuchigame.com/ BTW, did you know that more reviews on Steam can also help Mizuchi reach more gamers? *wink* *wink*

4. Language updates! Chinese and Japanese are coming soon.

Due to our agreement with our console publishers and the Japanese version being released in the upcoming May, the Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese languages will be exclusive to console for a short duration. But we can assure you they'll be available on Steam in the near future as we are making time to check that the new build works properly. We'll make another announcement when the release date is confirmed! If you want to pre-order the Japanese version, check out the purchase section at https://mizuchigame.com/

5. Wishlist our upcoming game - Red Rebellion.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2114160/Red_Rebellion/ A sapphic fairy tale mashup as Robin Hood teams up with Red Riding Hood to save their town, in this yuri / lesbian historical fantasy set in medieval England. This time, theres even more gameplay alongside the same good (if not better) storytelling in Mizuchi. So, wishlist it now!

Hello Everyone, Our deepest apologies for the silence. It has been a very long and delayed process with the console retail publisher, including now a co-publisher. We had difficulty getting all the translations set up to work correctly on our end, so the publisher has made that process a lot easier to fix and manage... but it's still a rather long process. The team in the meantime has been working on the next yuri GL visual novel game, which you'll be hearing about really soon. We will now officially have Simplified Chinese (), Traditional Chinese (), and Japanese (). Both console publishers are now in charge of all the translations and handling the localization companies. Mizuchi's current update is that it is STILL in the translation process and requires the LQA stage next. The team also has to double-check the work in the language switch nuances. Mizuchi translations will be released when the publishers have approved it to do so. When the files are finally ready for Steam release, we will also offer a digital artbook DLC. It will be smaller than the Kickstarter and physical version, but a lot more affordable. And that's the last bit of update for Mizuchi for now. We hope you try out our next game's demo, it's quite the opposite of Mizuchi but hopefully a lot of fun too! We'll be moving from historical Asia to medieval England this time.

Merchandise

We have been slow and busy trying to get multiple things done, so our sincerest apologies for the delay in the news. We wanted to mention that the official Aikasa Collective store is open. If you missed out on the Kickstarter for Mizuchi physical merchandise before, this is your chance to order some of the limited edition items until November 17th, 2021! Since the merchandise is a preorder run, we have no plans to produce any more merchandise in the future once we're out of stock. Feel free to check out our store: http://aikasacollective.com/shop/ http://aikasacollective.com/shop/]
Some examples of our merch: Official Artbook (illustrations, sketches, commentary), keychains, and character stand. We have mostly Asia-character style goods. No physical CD or OST due to damage risks in the mail.

Mizuchi Soundtrack

We are happy to announce we are offering the Mizuchi all-original soundtrack of 15 songs and 2 additional bonus tracks! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1811570/Mizuchi__Soundtrack/

Localization News

So.... nothing has changed in getting Chinese (simplified and traditional) out, but there have definitely been a few hiccups / glitches in getting it to work properly on the build. It's the next focus now that merchandise is just about to finish up, so thank you for your patience. We are also in discussion with a publisher, who is also offering a few other languages to localize, as well as translation company LQA check. So we'll see how things pan out. Otherwise, for time constraints, we may just go with our current translator for the Chinese PC Steam release first and update later if there are big text changes. We are absolutely sorry for the delay on this, but hope to provide you a quality translated game when ready. Thank you for your time!

We have fixed all known typos, grammar and any other errors reported to and found by us. We have also updated the game with a few additional new songs and variations. Next update we have planned is the Chinese version of the game (Simplified and Traditional). Translations are complete, but we need to fulfill merchandise requirements first as those are long overdue. Thank you for your patience!
