[Sakuraprin] Abaddon: Princess of the Decay

YQII · 2019-07-03T09:52:23+00:00

Abaddon was a very well-received and popular eroge developed by the doujin group Sakuraprin. It's a retro horror RPG that's a huge love letter to Capcom's Famicom game called "Sweet Home". For the unfamiliar, Sweet Home was kind of like prototype Resident Evil featuring a haunted mansion that you explored. The only difference is this game has porn. But really, this game has a pretty involved story than it might initially let on. The basic synopsis is simple: the protagonist's father, Yamanobe, is a college professor who goes to explore his friend's old abandoned mansion. Yamanobe never returns though, so the protagonist, Homura, heads to the mansion with some friends to search for his father. Obviously there's much more to it than that, but you'll have to play the game to find out! Gameplay-wise, you choose two characters as your partners at the start of the game. Each character has their own unique strengths/weaknesses. The RPG elements are fairly standard for the genre, including equipment, items, basic stats, leveling, and different types of enemies. There is, however, one exception: the "Fear Factor" system. A "Fear" bar replaces your typical HP bar in this game. You or your party members will go berserk once their Fear Factor bar is completely filled. This berserk effect will wear off after battle, but this causes permanent psychological damage to each character. This permanent psychological damage will affect character interactions and the types of scenes you'll see as well. Party members will permanently die if they go berserk a total of three times. It also has typical adventure game elements with exploration and searching for items to progress. Abaddon has a number of different endings and different scenes that are all influenced by the Fear Factor system and choices made throughout the game. We're working very closely with Sakuraprin and also using the latest version of the game for the localization. Obviously the localization is still ongoing so we don't have any English screenshots to share yet unfortunately. There are tons of h-scenes in the game, and lots of variety in them—this includes boys love (yaoi) and yuri. Basically, if you can imagine a pairing, it probably exists in this game. In addition to all of the above, every uncensored CG has a corresponding uncensored pixel art variant! Example of the art with the old censorship Sakuraprin re-did every censored CG from scratch so that we can release the game uncensored in the west! We hope you're looking forward to this new take on a modern classic, currently scheduled to be released in 2020.

Beta tester privileges.

That'd be incredibly helpful after beating the game for completion purposes.

It is very, VERY helpful, but we wouldn't be able to release a build with these cheats as an option. Granted I think you can achieve the same thing using something like Cheat Engine.

No dramas. The fact about how challenging this survival rpg is make it even more interesting. People can always use rpgmakersaveeditor to maximise the characters status if they want to use “cheat”.

well, judging by what the guys said earlier, the work that is being done in this game took a proportion kinda bigger than what was antecipated, so we'll need to wait a bit longer that we thought...
but hey, if it be needed to ensure that the project will reach a bigger level of quality, the wait will be surely worthy, right?

How is progress going for this game? It's been roughly about 3/4 of a year since I peeked in to check things out.

The most recent post on the store page says they're expecting a June release. I hope a miracle happens and it's sooner though.

I expect the next update to be around mid-June to inform about a delay. The game is that tough to get through QA. It's understandable.
Remember that the engine the game is built upon does not allow for checks if you are not playing it. This means that if the game takes certain conditions to reach a bug, the only way to detect it and solve is to replicate the conditions by playing it. Again and again. No shortcuts.
That's one of the main reasons this game put off previous translators.

I'd rather trust that even with the difficulties, they had a decent understanding of how long it would take when they announced they were expecting it to be done around June.

It’s very complicated despite the pixelated classic look. This Japanese game developer must be super good in doing the programming

By the way RetroLab is currently developing a similar ero horror rpg as well.

Its been about a month without an update, so I'd expect it to be delayed.

A mid-June update with news regarding the status, now that it's the E3 ðŸ˜†, would be great.

As June is finishing, it would be great to have a new status report.

I am sure that we all agree on the fact that we do not want the launch to be rushed and we all want you to take your time on this little gem, but it is great to hear on the advances of the project.
