Release Date Decided, and Versions

Hello! Long time no blog.

I'd put this project on the back-burner after being asked to hold off on release until a month or so after VNka's Guardian Goddess Steam release, but things have changed! VNKa is planning on doing their own announcement on what happened there, but here is the current state of this project.

• After discussions with VNka, the scope is changing. They'll be releasing the original version with the heroine's face covered, and I'll be releasing the Sakurabito version with the heroine's face visible and minor spicy changes.
• I need to make it very clear that my version and VNka's version have been worked on completely separately. The translations are completely different, as are any UI changes. I have no image editing or video editing skills, so (at the point of writing this post) please be aware that mine might look a little bit worse visually. On the other hand, I translate for a living, so I'm pretty confident in the translation itself!
• Guardian Goddess and Sekimori Gami ~Sakurabito~ will both be releasing on July 1st, 2024! We'll each be linking to the other on our pages, so players can choose which one they'd like to play. This project will be getting both a Windows and Mac release, and will be free with the option to pay if you'd like to support future translations from me.

Finally, I'm currently looking for an editor to look over my translation before release! If you or anyone you know has some experience and would be interested and available before the end of June, please either send me an email at rimie.work at gmail.com or send me a DM on Bluesky at @gmkz.bsky.social!
