Onmyodo Monogatari (Japanese Heian-era fantasy)

Reader mode
[1] I spend my time with my friends and my girlfriend, in the gardens, hanging out, playing games, making poetry, as leisurely children of the nobility, which, of course, we are. Well. They are a bit more leisurely than i am; my education seems significantly more thorough.
[1] I spend my time with Tsuzura, playing with her, perhaps enjoying her singing and dancing. She also tells me many strange stories, old, odd tales about spirits, foxes and other such things, things I am well-acquainted with through my studies, of course!
[1] I spend my time at the beuro of divination, studying and helping out. My father most, of course, but i also have uncles and more distant relatives there, who I would be expected to help, along with anyone who asked me to, really.
 
Okay, so.

I've worked some on the update, but other stuff keeps coming up, other projects, deadlines, and so on. In the end, i think i have to admit that i simply can't prioritize this high enough to keep it at a level I want, and I'm better served putting my focus elsewhere.
That means the game is dead.

It's not that I don't enjoy writing this quest, I do, but one of my goals for this game is a high historical fidelity, which means research, it's a mix of magic and noble life, and a lot of other things, and that all takes time and effort, effort i could spend writing for the San Jenaro Co Op, writing games to publish, and lots of other stuff.
In any case, i've seen enough games just die with no fanfare that i thought i'd at least make it explicit. IF you have any questions or comments about the game, I'd love to hear and answer them!
 
It's a shame because this was a really unique quest and I thought you did a great deal to bring to life a fascinating setting. I'll miss trying to come up with poems for votes instead of yelling about waifus or power-ups. Still, best luck with your future endeavors here and elsewhere.
 
Rl strikes again :(
Not familiar with the San Jenaro Co Op but google thinks it might be this :

In that case congrats on meeting your target, looks like you'll be busy. Good luck.
 
Hello Everyone!
So, a year ago, i declared this quest DEAD. However, it's on my mind pretty often, and I've been considering restarting it a few times. Now, i have an exam coming up, but after that, sometime next week, my schedule should clear, and the only thing for the foreseeable future is another project of mine, which is proceeding well. I will probably have the time for this, and i do enjoy the process of running and writing a quest, particularly this one. So, this is an interest check.
If i did revive this quest, would anyone be interested in returning to the life and world of Kogitsunemaru, our hapless young wizard-courtier-poet? If there's interest, what I might do is I'll write up a recap and an overview of all the relevant characters so people don't have to read the entire thread to jump in.
That said, this is still at the level of a thing i'm considering. I will have to double-check a bunch of things to make sure to have the time, but i don't want to mess around with my schedules and stuff only to find out there's no one who wants to vote.
