Vortex00 It seems like a great game that mixes typical 2D date sim mechanics into a RPG style game. The only issue I ran into was the lack of content in the demo. The demo I played definitely did not sell the game. With the use of 3D character and animations I know there is tons of animations and images in here. So letting people see at least one of those essentially for free, to see what you are potentially paying for, would have been a much better sell. The developer has been making games since 2007 from what I can see, yet the games don’t seem to have much of a following nor have many downloads; Many only in single digit numbers, I did not investigate the reason for this. However, the game-play is pretty smooth. If it combines some combat with the date sim like mechanics then it looks to be a pretty good game, assuming you want to take the risk of buying it and being disappointed.

To answer your question – yes our group has been developing the game since 2007. However, we were unhappy with the initial results. Had we released any of the original prototypes they would be equivalent to Combin Ation’s games, and that’s not what we wanted to achieve. What we released in 2007 – 2011 were ebooks of rendered stills in an effort to help fund purchase development. In late 2011 we tried our hand at animated flash games. These often made more sales in the Japanese market. Mid-2012 we finally finished development of a controlled in-game animation system and finally ramped up production of our first full feature prototype.
Hopefully you’ll watch for our latest release slated for this year (2014), and tried our new updated OH: SP demo. The new updated OH: SP full version contains new maps and features that serves as a sneak peek of the sequel game.
Thanks for the information, I will check it out for sure.
