[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

In this video, our producer「Volzz」will personally introduce the upcoming「Major Content Update」that we have been steadily developing.

This major content update will involve「New battles」,「New stories」,「New gameplay mechanics」,「New systems」, etc. The update is scheduled to officially launch on「September 29th」, and we'll be revealing more details about the update in the future.

Furthermore, our studio mascot will make its debut appearance in this video, so be sure to check it out!


PS: This major content update will be provided as a free update to the base game, with no additional charges required.

This update includes the following fixes and adjustments:

Fixes:

• Fixed the issue where the loadout interface could not be scrolled properly.
  
• Fixed the issue where restarting battles would affect the required number of unlocks for the assist mode.
  
• Fixed the issue where the [CH No-Hit] could unlock even when passing the stage without defeating the boss but taking damage.
  
• Fixed the issue where setting the right-click button as the spell card release key prevented closing the key configuration interface.
  
• Fixed the issue where the interaction prompt UI at the bottom of the screen in the Bunny Train occasionally didn't display while moving.
  
• Fixed the issue where, in battle stages, the prompt text for directly starting the battle didn't show.
  
• Fixed the issue where, in battle stages, there was a chance of entering the post-battle scenario when the countdown timer of the final phase restarted upon reaching zero.
  
• Fixed a few text errors in the English version.
  

Adjustments:

• Reduced the required count of Defeat for unlocking the [Assist mode].
  
• Reduced the required count of Defeat for upgrading the [Assist mode]. In other words, the [Assist mode] will be easier to unlock and upgrade.
  

We sincerely appreciate everyone's bug reports. We'll continue to address various issues in the game and continuously optimize its performance.

Since its release in February 25, our game—Touhou Hero of Ice Fairy—has managed to break 18k sales in just one month !



This comes as a big shock to us since it wildly surpassed our original expectations. Back in early 2021, I decided to make a no micro-dodging game out of spite since I was suffering from Touhou Hidden Star in Four Seasons's unique problem of not being able to properly see the bullets. I honestly never thought our game'd achieve such results two years down the line. It's thanks to everyone's continued support that we could get to this point.

Without everyone, we—and by extension Touhou Hero of Ice Fairy—wouldn't be where we are today, and for that we couldn't thank you enough!




Currently, we're dedicating our time to finishing the game's English version, with a release slated for April 12. If you're interested in helping us test the English version, please join our Discord server. The first round of testing will commence on the first week of April.

Furthermore, in April we'll also be releasing a feature to replay past story events as well as a mode for players who aren't great at action games, in addition to some new items and spell cards.

We understand that there are high expectations for what comes next in the game, and we promise we'll do our best to give everyone the full Touhou Hero of Ice Fairy experience!
