MOMOKA (IGMC 2018) turns 3 years old!

Hello everyone, moca here! 

Today, November 30th, marks the third anniversary for the RPG Maker horror game, MOMOKA (IGMC 2018).

I first want to start off by thanking everyone for the support. For the people still ask for updates about the game to this game, nothing makes me happier in this world than knowing how much of an impact I was able to make with MOMOKA (IGMC 2018). Truly, thank you for all the support.

To be honest, it feels like it's been longer than three years. I made this game when I was a senior in high school, and remember taking my laptop to school to work on the game ahaha. Spending all-nighters during school nights to get the item system working properly, panicking on the very last day of the contest deadline because the final boss battle suddenly stopped working (and when I did publish the game, the boss fight was still messed up all because I forgot one wait command! Gah!) - they all feel like distant memories at this point.

Since the release of the game, MOMOKA (IGMC 2018) has gained a... certain kind of notoriety in the RPG Maker Horror community. It's not a heavily discussed game, but on the off-chance that it does get brought up, people still remember it for being 'that' game. To this day, I am proud of what I created just three years ago. 

However, upon release, I did assure one thing seeing how MOMOKA (IGMC 2018) was always meant to be a prototype - that there would be a remake of the game from the ground up.

About the status of MOMOKA re;BIRTH

There are so many things that I would love to talk about MOMOKA re;BIRTH - my thoughts, feelings, what will be included, or what will be changed, what will be expanded on, or what will be removed, and so on and so forth - but for now, I will continue to keep everything to myself. Please understand. 

All that I will say is that MOMOKA re;BIRTH will be coming. It will begin development sometime in 2022, official release year still unknown. For the past three years, I have been meticulously planning MOMOKA re;BIRTH. I've gone through so many iterations of the story and have struggled with coming up with a retold story that I will once again be proud of. I've been perfecting everything for the past three years, and my perfectionist brain has considered all the possible scenarios. I truly want to make this remake the greatest it can be, as I want it to be THE RPG Maker Horror game. That is all that I will say about MOMOKA re;BIRTH. However, I still have one more thing.

Katharsis - the prequel to MOMOKA re;BIRTH coming 2022

Since I know the unknown release date for MOMOKA re;BIRTH may be disappointing for some - have no fear! A story taking place before the events of MOMOKA re;BIRTH will be released in 2022. Katharsis is a survival horror RPG Maker game, heavily inspired by the mechanics of Resident Evil and Silent Hill. During the new year, I hope to share more about Katharsis. In the meantime, please look at these screenshots for Katharsis!

Final Words

I hope people can find enjoyment out of this update announcement. I would like to apologize about silence about MOMOKA re;BIRTH in general and for the people who have been waiting all these years. Like I said, I have been meticulously planning to make sure this remake is perfect. if you'd like to ask any questions, please leave a comment. I also recommend following me on twitter as I share small updates of what I'm working on, such as a Corpse Party fangame that is near its demo release. You are also welcome to send me any questions there!

Thank you all for the support. Please look forward to Katharsis in 2022 and MOMOKA re;BIRTH in the near future. From the bottom of my heart - thank you so much for this opportunity!
