New Trailer Premiered @ Top Hat Studios Showcase and Live Now!

Hello everyone, We're happy to announce that not only did we participate in this year's Guerrilla Collective showcase, but we got a spotlight showing by way of our publisher, Top Hat Studios! As part of their official showcase slot, we've debuted a brand new trailer. Since the Steam page went live and the game was revealed, the game has grown tremendously and received a massive overhaul from a quality perspective. They say greatness takes time, and the team has been extremely dedicated to crafting a truly one-of-a-kind experience. [previewyoutube=KKRvY6JAncM;full][/previewyoutube] You can view the full, newly revealed trailer above. SONZAI aims to be an extremely high quality, meticulously crafted experience, and we hope the new trailer reflects that. The team has taken a very perfectionist angle on development, and while we realize development has been taking quite a long time (and from the outside may seem nebulous), we can assure you the game has made great strides toward completion. We've also updated the Steam page to reflect more recent updates to the game's recent state, and the new trailer has been uploaded onto it also. All in all, we thank you all for keeping up with the title, and we're excited to share more in the near future. In the meantime, if you're interested in following other games shown in the Top Hat showcase, head over to their publisher page to see other announcements from Guerrilla Collective: https://store.steampowered.com/publisher/tophatstudios/

Page overhaul with new content & new trailer to premiere on June 6th!

Hey all! It's been a little while since the page was updated for SONZAI, and part of that's been because the game has been a deep work-in-progress. Good things take time to come together, and we've been concentrating on putting together a great experience for everyone to play. However, we get it's been a bit overdue for an overhaul and that you've probably been itching to see more of the game, so we're excited to roll out a complete overhaul of the Steam page for the game!
Complete with new, updated screenshots that show more variety, areas, and things/mechanics in the game, the main "about" description has been updated, too. In addition to that, a selection of stylish GIFs have been added to the main about section also. The game looks awesome in motion, doesn't it? The art style of the game is truly spectacular, having been completely hand drawn and frame animated, and now that there's plenty of moving, animated media in the about section, it should help you to understand more about the game in action.

And one last thing for this update - we're pleased to announce that a new trailer for SONZAI, showcasing never-seen-before content with new reveals for the game, will be featuring in our publisher's showcase at the Guerrilla Collective this year! The Top Hat Studios Showcase will be happening on June 6th at the Guerrilla Collective livestream, starting at 12pm US pacific time. See you there!
