Important announcement
🕑 Added 2023-09-05 06:53:20 +0000 UTCAlright, everyone.
First, I would like to thank everyone who has supported me so far. All of this wouldn't have been possible without you.
As you undoubtedly noticed, Diatima's update is taking more time than usual. That's mostly because I was taking stock of the situation, and after a few weeks of development, I realized that a change was needed.
Unfortunately, the new game(Diatima's Isekai) isn't going well - undoubtedly because of my own mistakes/wrong choices - and the number of patrons decreased substantially in the last six months. To be honest, the game requires too much of my time, and I do have to make a living.
This means Diatima's Isekai update 0.15 will be the last one. In update 0.15, I will try to wrap up the story, though the ending will undoubtedly be rushed(...I wasn't exactly expecting to end the game this soon).
I do realize this choice may disappoint you, and I apologize for this, but I think this is necessary. Otherwise, very soon, I would've been forced to discontinue the game anyway (and, most likely, stop creating adult games).
So, what's next?
Well, after update 0.15, I will launch a new game called: Luna Reloaded.
Without saying too much, a big, apocalyptic event will happen in Diatima's Isekai 0.15 that will set the stage for Luna Reloaded.
About Luna reloaded:
- It will be a visual novel.
- Luna will be the protagonist.
- The game will be set hundreds of years after the events narrated in Luna's fall from grace and Diatima's Isekai.
- Mostly fantasy setting with some post-apocalyptic in it.
- Binary choice system -> Dominant / Submissive
Back to the basics, basically. I would like to focus more on the story/ different routes (and the adult content, of course) in this game.
Was Luna Reloaded planned?
Yes and no. About a year ago, when Luna's Fall from Grace was about to end, I was undecided whether to continue the story with a new protagonist or with Luna but with a fantasy/post-apocalyptic setting (you may remember in the game talks about the rising tensions between the Kingdom of America and the Euro-Russian Confederacy). That was to set the stage for the sequel.
So, to recap:
- Soon I will release update 0.14.
- Then update 0.15. That will be the last (Diatima's Isekai will end).
- Luna Reloaded's launch.

Thank you for your comment, Lanceire! No, the Raven will still be there, though, for various reasons, she will...not be around, at least at first (more like a faint voice in Luna's head basically) and depending on the player's choice, she will come back. Regarding Luna's fall from grace, it's mostly completed, though there were some things I wanted to add/edit. In the next months, I will be really busy with the new game, so I have no clue when it will be ready.

Its sad that Diatima Isekai ends early, the story is great and on par with the prequel but it looks like useless(in current state) sandbox elements turned a lot of people off from liking the game. I hope that in the next game Raven part of the merged Luna/Raven personality does not go away, because there is no way Luna/Raven can be submissive all the time. Don't listen to people who suggest you make "normal" games, there are tons of them anyway, but your games using obscure Irish lore really stand out, even among other games with supernatural themes. Please keep it, at least in games set in the Lunaverse. Games where female MC can be dominant also pretty rare. And a question about LffG, is this game completed? Because the version number 0.33 is a little bit confusing.

Thanks. I am glad you were enjoying the story, Zach. Probably, the problem was my lack of experience with sandbox-style games. I hope you'll like the story of my next game!

For what it's worth, I think the problem with the Dia game is the map and choosing where to go (I'm not sure what that style of game is called.) It's a lot of extra clicking and figuring out what to do, for not a lot of benefit. It takes me out of the story and slows everything down. I think the actual story was really good.
