We're happy to announce a new update to the existing community branch, and a new experimental netplay branch! This branch works on fixing desyncs for various characters, and has breaking changes that are not cross compatible with other branches. See details below! Community Netplay Branch Over the years, one of the most commonly reported issues with the netplay system is desyncs. We've managed to identify and fix some instances of this, particularly in matches containing Beatrice and Lambdadelta. This change will be released on the community-netplay branch as an experimental fix, to be merged

On December 31, 2010, Umineko: Golden Fantasia's original Japanese release was at Comiket 79. Today, nearly 15 years later it's returning to the hands of independent artists and fans on Steam via a new Community Beta Patch with support from MangaGamer! We have selected: Sky Leite to be the maintainer of the Community Beta Patch. MangaGamer will provide development checks and support on Steam publishing, while Sky will be the Lead Developer of the content on the Community Beta Patch. We have a long road map for the Community Beta Patch we are planning on elaborating on in future updates, but th

When we set out to ship Golden Fantasia on Steam, we had two goals in mind - localize the title, and make the netplay better than it used to be. The second proved to be a much more difficult, and completely new endeavor for those of us at MangaGamer. For the English localization team, lead by a small group of former Melty Blood players - endeavored to improve the total experience of playing the game. At the time, outside of GGPO and closed-source alternatives, rollback netplay was the most available, successful, and well-documented. MadScientist had worked on this form of networking extensivel

Netplay desync fixes, and credits too! Today we pushed a new build in the hopes that it resolves the majority of the desync's some users have been experiencing. Because this and the lobby bug has been fixed in the last patch, we encourage everyone to play in the public lobbies as much as possible to stress the lobby server and code as much as possible! This patch also included a localization of the developers names and titles, along with some hard-coded system messages. You can find the full patch-notes at: http://steamcommunity.com/app/550340/discussions/0/2549465882915541389/

Fighting game fans looking for something a little stranger than usual to fill out their library are in for a treat today. Based on the popular Umineko: When They Cry visual novels (which are also available on Steam), Golden Fantasia transplants the cast from their regular, dreary lives as metatextual murder-mystery characters into a no-holds-barred 2v2 tag-team brawl. While the very first edition of this game came out all the way back in December 2010, this is the officially localised, polished and finalised version of the Cross release, a major expansion which bumped up the size of the playab
