Production background

I like the "Stage1" of various games.
Most of them are peaceful grasslands or forests that make me want to stay there forever.
I created this game because I wanted to create a world where the atmosphere of the "Stage1" continues.

Even as the stages progress, the atmosphere and difficulty level won't change significantly.
(However, due to the nature of the game, the grasslands won't always continue.)

Supported language

The developer can only speak Japanese. However,
I have someone helping with the English and Simplified Chinese localization.
Language files are distributed with the game, those simple text files can also be freely edited and added by players to improve existing languages or add support for new ones.
I would be happy if volunteers could help with the localization!
