Princess Maker: Children of Prophecy, which had faced a crisis of stagnation, has finally finalized its contract with a development partner and is accelerating its release.

The developer, Dizzad, recently announced via a Tumblbug update that they have finalized a contract with GEAR2, a domestic developer known for mobile titles such as 'Slayer Raising'.

The production team stated, "We have entered the final stages of development with the goal of completing the game within the first half of this year." They added, "We are currently implementing core content such as the opening cinematic, new exploration zones, and the harvest festival, while also completely rebalancing the game." In particular, they plan to focus on enriching the game by increasing the density of events and stories experienced during the eight-year growth process.

As the system has been significantly modified during the development process, existing save data will not be supported. While account-based information such as the collection log and acquired Destiny Cards will be maintained, current save files will not be usable in the official version. Additionally, to efficiently utilize limited development resources, social media operations will be scaled back, and future communication channels will be consolidated into Tumblbug and Steam.

The delayed delivery schedule for crowdfunding rewards has also been confirmed. Physical goods are scheduled to be shipped sequentially between late January and mid-February. However, the artbook containing late-game content and the digital OST will be shipped separately at a later date, considering spoiler prevention and production schedules. Steam keys for the official version are planned to be delivered to backers in line with the first shipment.

Meanwhile, Children of Prophecy is a life simulation game that launched in Steam Early Access last July, where players are tasked with raising a girl over eight years. Depending on how the girl is raised, players can see various endings, and the game features systems specialized for replayability, such as Destiny Cards and an ending log.
