This is so we don't clog up the comments section of each verse page.

Yes, Paradise Apocrypha and Rebelión are still in development. They are being collectively referred to under an undecided title (for now we're calling it "Veno Universe", and they will debut as demos at Winter Comiket in December (six months from now). Creators VenomElite and Tsubaki Blue are willing to share tidbits of information as these games develop in preperation for Comiket in December, and there’s a couple of other pieces of interesting information you’ll want to know as well, so if you have any major questions, ask away!.

Paradise Apocrypha:

''During the 10th millennium (i.e. some 7,900 years in the future) the technological advancement has reached a point where resources for development have become scarce. The Inquisition, the dominant governing body of the world, have decided they no longer had to share with the “colorless folk” and began exterminating them as new resources were found. A dark age where being “colorless” is nothing but a sin - an “ugly, deceptively beautiful existence” - to the Inquisition, they must be eradicated. Thus, the Inquisitors of Heresy, God’s most trusted servants head out to purge the world of these colorless beings.''

''Zephyr didn't expect it to ever result to this. His mother, murdered for the color (or lack of color) of her skin? Surely this isn't new, but on a global scale? Such a world is full of madness. It is a drama set on stage, the actors unaware of their roles, and the rain is the tears of the planet. “Wake up Zephyr, you live in an insane asylum. You'll die if you don't do something y’know?”. These were the words of a girl that appeared before Zephyr as white as snow. She offered him not revenge, but freedom. If he helps her regain her lost power, she can in turn help him save others as he promised his dying mother he would.''

Rebelión: Labyrinth of Roses

(Note: Certain plot details are subject to change)

''During the climax of the Great Throne War (an over-the-top combination of World War II and the Cold War), a collective group of soviets, nazis, and shogun gather to perform a terrible ritual. They will sacrifice entire nations just to gather souls to fuel their spell. They are “preparing to revolt against All Creation, against God himself”. To do this, they require an immense number of souls. “Alchemy, magic, forbidden arts, all shall be taught to you. Feed the Beast with the souls of this universe, and all of Creation will be yours.” These terrible words are of genocide of countless worlds. For all fear the demons who take human appearance - the fallen angels, kings and queens of death and devourers of souls. They are the depraved aristocratic elite of the angels the Fallen Apostles.''

''Fast forward a hundred years into the future, in the city of Tokyo-to (basically future Tokyo), Myeato is a 14 year old boy who can visualize various metaphysical phenomena ordinary people cannot see. He wanders the streets with his two best friends Joineth and Rio, in search of meaning in their ordinary lives. Myeato, keeps having visions of a girl with sweeping rosé-colored hair that no one else can see. He does not believe that she is an ordinary spirit, a yokai, or even an angel, but something extraordinary. However the description of this entity, according to Rio, matches that of the “Beheading Princess”, believed to be a daughter of the Royal Family sealed within the Labyrinth of Roses because anything she touches meets its end under a Crimson Moon. However in spite of the alleged danger, Myeato and his companions discover the lost Labyrinth of the Princess - only to discover a great, unfathomable power within it. At the same time the greatest nightmare has been realized, for the Fallen Apostles have resurrected.''

So yeah, this thread will basically be used to update those who are interested on its progress. Onislayer is not being developed at this time (the workload would be too overbearing). You could consider it in the "pre-development" stage. Anyway, we have quite the amount of time between now and Comiket, and I hope things go well.
