En-Eins Anastasis Crowdfund

Introduction

We want a new fighting game in the arcade!　We want to support the production of a sequel to the classic fighting game "Nu-Ain: The Perfect World"!

The developer, SUBTLE STYLE, has responded to the call from KO-HATSU Game Center, and "Nu-Ain: The Perfect World" will be revived with the original staff!

As the mainstream of new fighting games has shifted to home consoles and PCs in recent years, game arcades are becoming less vibrant than before. And the vicious cycle of "no increase in income, → no introduction of new games, → manufacturers not developing new games" is repeating itself. If nothing is done, the arcade fighting game culture itself will probably disappear.

Therefore, we have decided to ask the creators of "Nu-Ain: The Perfect World" to produce a sequel and to support it through crowdfunding in order to turn the tide in the direction of revival, even if it is only a small contribution. We are willing to put everything we have into this project in order to break the status quo of game arcades and to keep up with Corona.

We would appreciate your support.




What we want to achieve

　We would like to ask for your support for the production of "Nuane Complete World Anastasis (tentative title)", which is scheduled to go live nationwide by the end of 2022 on our content distribution system for arcades.

This crowdfunding will be conducted on an "All-In" basis, so development will not be cancelled. Even if we don't reach the target amount within the project period, we will offer return benefits and produce the product with your support and the production cost we have prepared.

We will also offer an "advance email notification of progress" as a return benefit to all supporters.
What is "Nu-Ain: The Perfect World"?

　It is a sequel to the arcade 2D fighting game "Akatsuki Denko Senki Ausf. Achse".
In 2010, the SYSTEM BOARD Y2 version, and in 2012, the NESiCAxLive version began operating in game arcades nationwide, and in 2022, the NESiCAxLive version will celebrate its 10th anniversary.
The simple yet profound gameplay has been highly acclaimed by both beginners and experts alike, and even now, 12 years after its launch, the game is still being played in tournaments throughout Japan by deep-rooted fans. Since there are no difficult commands or complicated systems, it is an ideal introductory fighting game for those who want to start playing fighting games now.
What is SUBTLE STYLE?

　SUBTLE STYLE is the brand of freelance game developer SUBTLE.
He produces games as an individual, not as a corporation.

It started as a website created by Mr. SUBTLE, who was working for a game company, for the purpose of personally presenting his illustrations.

After working for a game company since 1995, Mr. Subtle was involved in the development of a number of fighting game titles, but in 2001 he became a freelance game developer in order to create original titles that could not be created by a company organization.
In 2008, "Akatsuki Denko Senki Ausf. Achse" was the "first arcade version of an original indie fighting game" that made its way to game centers, and in 2010, a sequel, "Nu-Ain: Perfect World" was produced, which was well received by dedicated players, and the characters made guest appearances in other fighting games. The character has also made guest appearances in other fighting games.

　All funds raised through this project will be used for the production of new works, excluding the production cost of returned goods and expenses such as shipping and handling. We will not use the funds for any other purpose.

'Nuane Perfect World sequel to be decided! Congratulations!
We are very impressed by KO-HATSU's daily enthusiasm as a gaming arcade for gaming, even in the face of the Corona disaster. Above all, the scheduled launch of the game on NESiCAxLive is very good news for us arcade operators."

Finally

　My first encounter with Satoru Style was when a friend asked me to play the upcoming PC fighting game "Akatsuki Denko Senki" and I downloaded the demo version. I downloaded the demo version and was blown away by the game, not only because it was a fun fighting game, but also because of the detailed character dots drawn in high-resolution (VGA), which was rare at the time, and the wonderful world view and music. I remember being overwhelmed by the world and the music. I thought, "This is too good to be put away as a PC game," and with the permission of the creator, we decided to hold a free game battle at Kohatsu. The result was a great success.

We were convinced that the game could be commercialized, so we approached a game sales company we were working with at the time about commercializing the game, and they gave us the OK to port it. Akatsuki Denko Senki Ausf. Achse" went into operation in 2008 as "the first original arcade version of an indie fighting game. It was a great success, partly because it was on the NAOMI board, which was in widespread use at the time.

Subsequently, the distributor requested a sequel, and in response, development of "NAOMI Perfect World" was started. However, in 2009, in the aftermath of the Lehman Shock, it became impossible to raise funds. Since the game was still in the development stage, we could have given up at this point, but we decided to release the game with our own funds and look for another distributor.

We found a new distributor and circuit board manufacturer, and in 2010, "Nu-Ain: The Perfect World" began operating in game arcades nationwide. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a miracle that this title made it to release.

Although this title is currently highly acclaimed as a fighting game, in fact, only half of the originally planned characters have been implemented for the aforementioned reasons. In other words, the game was released in a state of "Our fight is just beginning! In other words, the game was released in a state of "Our battle is just beginning! After its release, Satoru Style attempted to create a sequel, but the project was repeatedly cancelled, and before we knew it, 12 years had passed.

And now, we have decided, "We want to somehow get a sequel to "The Perfect World of Nuane" produced!" and in order to make this desire come true, we have decided to take on the challenge of crowdfunding.

When I learned the meaning of the title "Akatsuki Denkou Senki Ausf. Achse (Axis)," I felt that this game would truly be the "axis" of the future. And I would like to put my hope for the "revival" of arcade fighting games into this "Anastasis" game.

Thank you very much for your cooperation.
