Princess Maker: Children of Prophecy (hereinafter Children of Prophecy), which saw its development halted back in September, has been granted a new lease on life.

The development team took to their Tumblbug funding page on the 17th to clarify the future of the project. They confirmed that they have successfully partnered with a new company, securing a deal that covers both publishing and joint development.

Children of Prophecy features 'Daidoji Karen' as the protagonist, a character who previously missed out on a main series appearance. It stays true to the series' core loop—raising a girl over eight years starting from age ten—while introducing a card system that lets you tweak your daughter's growth path after every ending. However, things went south in September due to mass layoffs at the former developer, D-ZARD, which forced a temporary hiatus. Even then, the team hinted that they were scouting for a new home to revive the project.

This announcement comes less than a month after that initial setback. The team noted that the original developers remain on board under the new joint development structure, which should help get the project back up to speed. According to the team, the latest build focuses on adding two new NPCs and polishing the core eight-year gameplay loop. A fresh roadmap is expected once these tasks are wrapped up.

Furthermore, the team promised to 'reveal the joint development partner within a week' and pledged to keep backers in the loop regarding the game's progress. They also reaffirmed their commitment to delivering the merchandise promised during the original crowdfunding campaign.
