Greetings all, Just some quick info on Echo Tokyo: Reaper, as noted in past updates the game continues to be in development but is making progress. The team are expecting to release the game in November this year to complete the rewards for the campaign. We are sorry for the delay but hope you will enjoy the game when it is finally released later this year.
Paradise Girls Last Chance
This is our final update about the kickstarter campaign that is currently live, it has now exceeded £43,000 in funding (over 1000%) added open world gameplay, a huge selection of women, harem wars events, mobile phone events, card games and so much more.
Because the game has added so much content we have changed the planned name to Paradise Girls, since the game now features romantic events, adult scenes and lots of sexy content with an array of 70 women from the entire series of games, including girls from alternate realities, fantasy worlds, sci-fi futures and the supernatural.
This really will be the finale to the series, releasing next year, but so you don't get bored in the meantime the campaign also offers the option to receive several games made by other teams in the series in the lead up to its release, including the much wanted Negligee: DoubleD sequel.
With the campaign due to end in just a few days time I hope you will consider joining before it is too late.

N.b. The game is available for just £10 on Kickstarter, roughly 50% off what the release price will be based on the games now funded content.

It has been a long time coming, but Echo Tokyo: Phoenix has now been accepted by steams review team and is scheduled for release on the 29th March 2019.
Thank you all for your patience, it has been a long and trying road but we have finally arrived at releasing our first game. With this completed we will be spending the next few weeks doing final refinements and hopefully adding Trading Cards and Achievements to the game for release too.
Echo Tokyo: Reaper
The outline for this game has also been roughed out, though it still needs editing, but hopefully soon it will be ready to be developed further, our plan is a simple one, we will finalise the outline and then begin development and illustrations at the same time, which will likely take around 5-6 months to complete, allowing us to release Reaper around October this year to complete our rewards.
More details on this will come soon, for now we hope you enjoy Echo Tokyo: Phoenix.

Hello, I am from the developer NickySwan, and any of you who have been following Dharker Studios will know that we have taken over many of the IPs associated in the past and future development from Dharker Studios.
This includes the Echo Tokyo games, specifically Phoenix and Reaper. First of all, before you worry to much, we have already been working on these games for months, as a third party studio for Dharker Studios. Now the only difference is we own the IP too. As well as other games.
I am sending this out simply to keep you all aware of what is going on and to post an update that is probably long overdue.
Physical Rewards
All remaining physical rewards will be shipped in the next 1-3 weeks, we have arranged for Dharker Studios to ship them, like the figurines already shipped out. Unlike previous messages and updates, they will now be shipping ALL rewards.
-
Dakimakuras
- Posters/Prints
- DVDs
The DVDs will be sent with a printed albeit blank writeable disk. This will allow you to use it for whatever you want. When the games are finished we will provide DRM-Free editions to those due them as well as those receiving the DVDs so you can then install those files to the DVD if you wish, or use it for something else.
We have seen other larger scale crowdfunding games do this and have decided to follow suit. This is basically so we can finalise our budget as the physical rewards will otherwise continue to hang over us like a lead balloon preventing us from know how much we can realistically spend on final development of the two games.
Anyway so we will post another update when Dharker Studios has received the Dakimakuras (should be next week) and the DVDs (should be end of next week) so that they can then begin shipping these items to you all to complete the physical rewards of the campaign.
Game Development
As already noted, in terms of game development nothing is changing, we have already been working on the game for many months and the person currently developing the game and script will continue to do so, our aim is to release the game in spring 2019. That should be achieve-able based on current development speed.
At present all artwork, music has been completed, leaving just the final coding and scriptwriting/editing to complete. These parts however can take a while since this is a multi-branching story.
Future Development
As part of our agreement with Dharker Studios we will be developing for release the following games;
-
Echo Tokyo: Phoenix
- Echo Tokyo: Reaper
- School Coven
Echo Tokyo: Phoenix will as mentioned be released in Spring 2019. After which the developer will begin working on the story-line and development of Echo Tokyo: Reaper, whilst that is going on we will also be developing School Coven. A different writer and artist will be working on that game so it will not impact the development of the two Echo Tokyo games.
Currently School Coven is in the Scriptwriting stage, gradually as that is completed the artwork will be developed so that hopefully the game can be released in Summer 2019.
If all goes smoothly from now on that will allow us to release Echo Tokyo: Reaper in Winter 2019. To complete the game developments for this campaign and to complete our obligations to Dharker Studios regarding IP.
After that we are also hoping to release a game called:
Echo Tokyo: Mana Defence Force. Which will be a fun hopefully addictive game to play with puzzle mechanics. And a bit of visual novel styling to it too of course. A final decision has not yet been made but if all works out we hope to grant this game to all of you, free, as a thanks for the support and patience you have had over a long period these games have been developed.
After that well we will see how the profit and loss statements of those games releases across 2019 come out in order to determine how we will proceed in 2020 and beyond. Whether we will attempt larger games or attempt to try different genres. Unlike Dharker Studios we will not be using crowdfunding to develop games and will be following a more traditional investment - release - profits for the continuation of our team.
So to put simply if the games we make in 2019, make profit, then we will continue to make games in 2020 and beyond. For now though that is all.
When Dharker Studios are ready to ship those final physical items we will let you know and as development continues we will post updates on Echo Tokyo: Phoenix and Echo Tokyo: Reapers releases.
