changedThis project has been particularly unlucky since it was scheduled for a full release in June 2021, including a comprehensive voice-over by many talented artists led by Star Trek veteran Manu Intiraymi who is still working with us on this project.
changedHowever, I had to make tough calls regarding the game and it will not be in Early Access for a long time, so I was compelled to eliminate the voice-over program and only feature Manu Mkrell's portrait in select dialogues. This pains me far more than you can imagine, but after two years of severe financial strain, I had to choose between releasing the game or leaving it permanently in Alpha Early Access.
fixedThe in-game material will not be removed from the game's definitive version, except for voice overs: the tale will be concluded; numerous HD pictures and hours of gameplay will be included; bugs will be fixed, as well as new missions.

First and foremost, Yomi Alliance is set to exit Early Access this month with the final missions and the conclusion of the main characters' tales.

This project has been particularly unlucky since it was scheduled for a full release in June 2021, including a comprehensive voice-over by many talented artists led by Star Trek veteran Manu Intiraymi who is still working with us on this project.

Despite this, Yomi emerged just as the Covid-19 pandemic was beginning, causing delays and a severe cash shortage that necessitated some cut features in order to bring the game out. I felt that the most essential aspect of a Visual Novel is the story, and I was behind schedule on that as well, owing to economic and financial challenges it had to overcome..

To make things worse, the disaster had a double edge: because of my previous work in other VNs and the general public following us, it was impossible to solely focus on Yomi release. The public following us appreciates General Practitioner and the other VNs as well, therefore I also had to develop something different at the same time.

However, I had to make tough calls regarding the game and it will not be in Early Access for a long time, so I was compelled to eliminate the voice-over program and only feature Manu Mkrell's portrait in select dialogues. This pains me far more than you can imagine, but after two years of severe financial strain, I had to choose between releasing the game or leaving it permanently in Alpha Early Access.

The in-game material will not be removed from the game's definitive version, except for voice overs: the tale will be concluded; numerous HD pictures and hours of gameplay will be included; bugs will be fixed, as well as new missions.

I would like to express my gratitude for your support, as it allowed me to pursue this project!

Thank you for continuing to support our games, I appreciate it very much. Thank you for keeping safe out there! Thank you for staying with us!
