Latest blog post on Jynx's blog! (http://mugenri.blog.shinobi.jp/%E3%82%B2%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A0%E5%88%B6%E4%BD%9C/2015%E5%B9%B4%E3%80%81%E3%82%AA%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B2%E3%83%BC%E6%96%B0%E4%BD%9C%E3%80%8C%E9%80%A3%E7%B8%81%20%E5%A4%A9%E5%BD%B1%E6%88%A6%E8%A8%98%E3%80%8D)

My friend was kind enough to translate the post's contents as well!

"2015 Original Game, "Ream Destiny: War History of the Heavenly Shadow"
 
It's a month late, but happy new year!
I'll be publishing progress reports on my new game every now and then.
 
New Game
"Ream Destiny: War History of the Heavenly Shadow ～ Brilliant Pagoda or Haze Castle"
 
Not "chains", but "reams"!
Changing the kanji like this makes writing it a lot easier!
It's a minus conversion!
It makes the title seem lighter, too.
I plan on preparing various difficulty levels this time, since I intend to appeal to a more casual audience!
 
Now then, here are screenshots of the opening screen and some gameplay.
 
These scenes are still under development, so the complete product will look a lot different.
 
You normally wouldn't imagine an STG to have this much stuff onscreen; there's a lot of information to process... how rough.
Please be patient until the finished version for further details.
 
I hope to be able to distribute the finished version next month.
 
At any rate, I've been making a slightly different kind of STG until now.
 
I hope it goes well!"

I'M REALLY HYPED FOR THIS... but goodness the game does seem to have a clusterfuck of a UI, but I'm still hyped as all hell!

It's me, or does Jynx keep forgetting about the existence of the space bar? Just look at the bgm names.

I started with Len'en some time ago. Before that i thought that the games were severely lacking in color, but the screenshots and videos are a different experience to playing it oneself. That said, it wouldn't kill to use more saturated colors in the character portraits. Now let's talk about the difficulty curve >:D.

I think the colour style in Evanescent Existence made it have its' unique and dark feel. Cues to the Stage 3 boss and the black and white theme.

This new one will be something to look forward to, although I've not dug out some time for the other Len'en projects yet.

I hardly clear the "hard" difficulty of these game(that's not the name but well, I forgot sorry), so...I will suffer with this game. What I like about Len'en is that the patern are kind of a mix of the touhou pc 98 and window. And JynX have really a good imagination, he do great work to include new original spellcards sometime !
Well, I can't wait for the game !
