Hey !!!
I think we have a lot to talk about!
We’ve just hit 10,000 sales ! (•_•)
senpi : It’s simply extraordinary. The honest truth (which might seem crazy to some) is that when we
launched the project, at no point (and I mean NO point) did we ever think we’d make even 100 sales ; reaching this milestone is truly beyond a waking dream.
I’m living my dream, so thank u, thank u, and thank u again.
We read all the review, saw all the video, EVERYTHING ABOUT US MOUAHAHAHA!!!
Nolly : Hello every nyan /ᐠ｡ꞈ｡ᐟ\\
I don't know where to start, or how to express just how grateful we are.
I never imagined we’d reach this point so soon. It feels so surreal to think that 10,000 people have seen Umi, it’s weird (and absolutely wonderful) to see videos, fan art, and people talking about "Little Girl On Earth" on streams. Things have really taken off, I never would have guessed that Umi would end up on Google Images (´ｰ∀ｰ`).
A huge thank you to all of you, to everyone who shares their feedback and to all the translators ; thank you for everything. It’s a dream come true, and we fully intend to do even more.
senpi : Time for some updates now ! It’s been a while, hasn't it?
So, what’s been going on?
The last few months have been a real whirlwind for us, full of both ups and downs, but I guess that’s just what growing up is all about, haha.
We’ve tried a lot of things, some really successful, others... not so much.
We’re nice people, though, so we aren't going to keep it all to ourselves LOL so here are a few things from the new project : things that were scrapped, abandoned, or... let's just call them "attempts"!
Nolly : I can finally show her to you (oﾟvﾟ)ノ I love her character design, but the idea behind her wasn't solid enough to build a whole universe around her, so she doesn't really serve a purpose, but she's pretty!
Nolly : The concept behind this character is cool, but it didn't fully convince us...
Still, she's really cool, and I really like the vibe she gives off! (╹ڡ╹ )
Nolly : We really love this drawing, but it's hard to recreate the same thing in pixel art o(TヘTo), maybe next time, my friend...
senpi : SOOOO this new project, what the hell is it ?!
Here we go!
Our goal is to showcase and honor our passion; we’ll never release a project unless we’re 100% proud of it, you can trust us on that.
I really love that people can pick out our various inspirations, though I admit it’s also something that can sometimes define how I’m perceived. I’m deeply committed to showing you the very best of what we can do, and believe me, you won’t be disappointed.
Improve everything, art, writting, music, E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G (I loved sharing new music with u, but that’s not happening just yet, just a little more patience ahaha)
My primary ambition has always been clear, and we’ve decided to fully commit to it!
(And I think you’ll be the first ones happy about it, lmao.)
So...
You know I’m an RPG fan—like, a *huge* fan?
I just love ‘em! It’s just... a little fact!
Oh, and by the way, I really love the beach, too!
Yeah, water.... just... water.
Ant ??? no no no... no ant...
...
Maybe one?
Can’t wait to share all this with you. Thanks a lot—see you sooner than expected !
Thank you to everyone who finds meaning in Umi, to those who simply love it, and even to those who hate it!
Put your trust in us.
It means so much to us, thank you.
Nolly & senpi
