If you follow otome games, you may have seen a certain...announcement regarding Angelique recently. An extremely...preliminary announcement.
If you've followed Angelique for a certain time, you may be familiar with Koei's...reputation in certain areas, particularly regarding its otome franchises. Koei had this...reputation when Angelique was in its heyday and a license to print money, but there is little reason to test the waters if you are engaged in certain projects, let us say.
Finally, if you follow gaming in general, you may be familiar with the fate of many similar...projects that were unwisely publicized prematurely, before a finished form was available, which prompted this wise and venerable advice from one Woolie Madden:
Longform argument here.
Now: Given the above realities, I advocated heavily for strict adherence to the Woolie Madden protocol, which I was promised.
And then, four days ago, someone blew up social media with...announcements.
So: If...something happens to this project before it's released: I gave fair warning.
