Bel's Fanfare Special Collaboration!

Attention, everyone!

This update will be of particular interest to fans of classic Zelda games and admirers of great Japanese creators. But first things first! This update will focus on the iconic Bel’s Shield in Bel’s Fanfare, which will help us delve into its rich narrative.

Ukoback, the gong-shield, is a family heirloom that Beelceboo, Bel’s father, gives her when she is chosen from among all her siblings to embark on a quest to free her entire family from their prison in the boilers of the gigantic cruise ship The Witch of the Sea.

Ukoback not only acts as a conventional shield, but its ancient powers allow it to absorb the aura flies that demons like Bel and her family feed on—flies that are now swarming uncontrollably throughout the ship.

Although its original design is truly iconic (sorry, we can’t be humble about this!), thanks to the support received during the Kickstarter campaign, we’re adding new designs so you can customize it.

But wait! Because we have some shocking news about this:

3 of Ukoback’s alternative skins are designed by Mr. Takaya Imamura.

In addition to this, there will be five more skins that highlight the connection between Bel’s Fanfare and other Chibig games, such as *Mika and the Witch’s Mountain* and *Summer in Mara*, as well as Valencian culture (you’ve probably already guessed that’s where the team is based, right?).

Paella skin: There's not much more to explain, hehe. One of the most iconic dishes in our cuisine, whose shape also perfectly matches the gong. We hope some of you have had the chance to try an authentic paella in real life!

Moma skin: La Moma is a very distinctive, though perhaps not as well-known, character who represents the never-ending battle between Virtue and the Seven Deadly Sins through a dance accompanied by music played on instruments typical of Valencian culture. This tradition is over 500 years old and is a spectacle worth seeing!

Socarrat skin: “Socarrat” refers to something charred or burnt, which is why the word is also used to describe the layer of rice that is most cooked in paella and other rice dishes. In this case, it refers to a type of traditional Valencian craft consisting of a terracotta plaque, glazed in white or light colors, and decorated with drawings in earthy dark colors to simulate this “burnt” effect.

Oh! We should probably mention that you'll have to explore and complete a few challenges to get these special designs, of course.

Hope you’re now so hyped and excited as we are! So considerate adding Bel’s Fanfare to your wishlist or even join the Late Pledges in Kickstarter.

We encourage you also to join our Discord community (we reached 10,000 members!) and our newsletter to stay tuned about the big announcements and community special content (and discounts hehe).
