Regarding Hashasky
🕑 Added 2022-04-29 00:30:48 +0000 UTCEnglish translation: yao
Hello, sorry again for the lack of updates again.
I touched on this subject a bit during my livestream, but there’s something I’d like to talk about regarding Hashasky.
Considering the circumstances, maybe it would be best if I really did just stop working on Hashasky? …or so I’ve been thinking.
The following points are what I felt would be bad:
・The Hashasky army gets armored up and invades Mogeko Castle with tanks and weapons
・Hashasky soldiers torture and kill mogekos
・The mogekos can do nothing to fend them off, and die, completely dominated by the enemy.
When you consider the fact that these scenes are carried out by characters depicted in russian(-ish) hats…
I had zero intention of anything of that sort (to begin with, I started working on this game 3 or 4 years…ago…). But what about people who didn’t know this fact? What would they think? Naturally, I’m sure they’d be very uncomfortable with this.
Even if I post this on only Ci-en and Patreon, there are people who reupload my content to other places without permission. (This is the case right now of course too.)
(Also, my works are especially reuploaded to Russian sites in particular…)
When I think about those risks, perhaps it would be best if I take a break from creating this for some time.
It would be fine if I could just erase those elements listed above, but they are needed to progress the story….
Or on the other hand, perhaps it would be best to just get rid of all Russia-like elements from the character designs and have them all in completely original outfits? This is another thought that had occurred to me, but I feel conflicted… I feel like I’m disrespecting these characters of mine.
What do you all think? If it’s okay, I’d appreciate it if you left a comment below to share your thoughts.
By the way, here are the results of a poll I had conducted before.
Q: What game should I work on next?
1. The Gray Garden Remake
2. Carnival Rhythm
3. Buri~ing
4. Oji-Summer ~Nagi-chan’s summer vacation ~
In place of Hashasky, perhaps I should work on Carnival Rhythm (and Devil Girl Ivlin). Or maybe I should work on Hashasky, for which I’ve kept you all waiting.
Q: What do you want Funamusea to work on first?
1. Hashasky’s Grand Adventure
2. Carnival Rhythm
3. The Gray Garden Remake
4. Buri~ing
5. Something else (I’d prefer you worked on manga)
I’m waiting to hear back from you all, thanks so much for your input.
※ I’m truly so sorry for how my updates are always this late. After just one more push, I’ll finally be able to get caught up with work… I’m so sorry.
Thank you always for your support and encouraging words! It really keeps me going. I’ll do my best!

I think you should work on a different game for the time being out of courtesy. As for what I'm all for seeing progress on Carnival Rhythm!

01 I say work on the game, if needed you can hold off on releasing it to the public till this is over. I would also put a disclaimer at the games start and end denoting your explaination. Also if you feel something could be reworked without causing damage to the stories integrity, such as something that does nothing for the story but can be more offensive. Honestly I don't like how easily people are offended these days, and since you clearly did not plan the recent events, I think you should have some leeway.

It really is unfortunate about how recent events have put a wrench in your project. I understand wanting to hold off on finishing it due to events, but part of me also worries that avoiding something for too long will make you lose interest in actually wanting to finish it, so I think you should continue working on it, but only release it when you feel that the whole situation has blown over enough for it to be safe. Ultimately, the choice is up to you on if you want to finish it or leave it for another time. That said, I am curious to know more about Carnival Rhythm, so I wouldn’t mind seeing you work on that in place of Hashashky.
