Development Update

ULTIMAHJONG is no longer under active development.

UMJ was always a passion project for me and long story short, I've lost interest. I'm not giving up on the game completely, but development is at least going on hold for a while. Apologies to all those with high hopes for the game but I hope you at least enjoyed your time with the demo (which will remain available in its present state). In its stead I suggest you check out some similar games:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3488460/dirtbag_MAHJONG/ haven't played, been meaning to

Thank you to everyone who's contributed to the game and the community, all I ever wanted with UMJ was to push mahjong forward a little and while I had hoped for more I'm content with what I have. Forgive me for not talking much about development, I'm not as publicly oriented as I had hoped.

Soon:tm: I'll be releasing a free game over at https://nanahyakuman.itch.io/. It's a modern home-arcade style rhythm game—nothing like UMJ, I admit. If you're interested you can follow me there, although I'll probably make another announcement here.
