The version of Amazing Princess Sarah for PS4 is fully converted by the great guys of Red Art Games, and they really did a terrific job! Really happy to say that now APS can be played by anyone!

The version of Amazing Princess Sarah for the Nintendo Switch is not just a 1:1 porting: we took the chance to adjust the game. Here and there you'll see some graphic enhancements, and, most of all, the controls of Sarah have been greatly perfected - now she's more reactive, fast and lethal than ever!

If you live in Europe, until may 25 there's a 20% launch discount, be sure not to miss it!

If you live in the Europe, don't worry, you'll have a few days after the launch to buy the game with the 20% discount

If you want to know more about RoboPhobik, don't miss this Xbox Wire article, where I'll tell you more "insider" infos about the game!

It was a long and wild run, but finally we have a release date for the first console version of RoboPhobik: February 12th!

RoboPhobik, is finally available! The game is probably something you never played before, so I heavily suggest to go to Steam and play the free demo:

- it's a shooter, but you are encouraged to shoot "consciously" (you don't have dual stick controls, you can't walk while shooting, etc...): plus the gameplay won't penalize you if you'll stand still before acting

- it's not a puzzle game

- it's not a strategy game: controls are "4-directions + shoot", there are no action menus or stuff like that... (the yellow tile overlay you see in the screenshot is to tell where the enemies will shoot)

- enemy movement is restricted to "tiles", player is free to move anywhere

Some random answers to questions you might (or might not) have:

- The genre is a wierd mix of shoot'em up and "turn based" combat: you move / shoot while trying to avoid enemy's shots... but if you stop, enemy robots won't detect you, allowing you to plan your actions carefully (cool and very useful when taking screenshots - or debugging :)

- Controls are super-easy: just 4 buttons and a 4 way dpad! You can still play with an analog stick if you want, but a SNES-like pad works like a charm (if you are a WASD-believer (like me) and you want to play with your keyboard, feel free to do so!)

- Even if the gameplay is arcade-like, the story is not super-stripped (at least, by Haruneko's standard :) Compared to Amazing Princess Sarah or Akane the Kunoichi, you'll get way more characters, plot twists... and many, many cutscenes - just don't expect Hollywood, RoboPhobik is still a one man effort (except for the beautiful cover by DCWJ, I created almost everything by myself - this time I even composed the music, a first for me)

- After the initial PC Steam release, console versions will follow next year... probably, Xbox / Switch

Glad you clicked the MORE button :)

First: City of Robots is stated for release in the second half of 2018, so it's still in the "not-so-soon" league

Second: I've already got something playable, but the graphic is not polished enough, so I prefer to wait some more weeks before showing anything.

Third: some info of what it's going to be. It's a arcade shooter, mixed with a dungeon crawler, mixed with an RPG, with a slice of turn-based combat - I know it sounds a little wierd, but I can guaranteed it will be great when you'll try it :)
This time it's a 3d game with some things made with 3d voxel. But don't worry, Haruneko's style is definitely there.
The "RPG-lite" story will tell you the incredible adventures of a group of women that saved the earth during the 70s (before you ask, no, it's NOT based on a true story :)

More details will arise during the upcoming months, so stay tuned!

Today Sarah is available on the Xbox One. You can check it here. Really curious about how well (or not :( she'll perform!

We finally have a release date: Amazing Princess Sarah, will be available on Xbox One on 29th January - a big step forward for Haruneko Entertainment, which still "could-not-be-more-indie-than-this".
Thanks a lot to everyone who waited patiently for the Xbox One conversion - and to everyone who wanted to see something new from Haruneko: a new product is now in preproduction, and, as usual, will have a very long development time. But, as usual, won't be ready until I'm happy with that - and that's the good part of not making a living out of Haruneko

Our action platform game, Amazing Princess Sarah, will be available on Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft via the ID@Xbox self-publishing program during 2015.
This is a little dream-come-true, Microsoft selected Amazing Princess Sarah to be part of the ID@Xbox!!
That's the reason why no site updates during the last six months, sorry about that!

If you have a Windows Phone device (both 7 or 8, doesn't matter), now you can enjoy a pocket version of Amazing Princess Sarah. Get it now from the official Windows Phone appstore.
No Android or iPhone versions will be released, the only smartphone version available will be for Windows Phone - yes, this is not a joke.

Amazing Princess Sarah is now finally available on Steam. Now, for a few days only, with a special launch discount!

A little bit more of "hidden" infos, for the fans who clicked the "[MORE...]" button on the news: thank you to everybody for the amazing support on Steam Greenlight: in 9 days we've received an outstanding amount of votes - nearly 28k people have seen the page on Greenlight, and we've got 5.7k YES votes. All this things means that now Amazing Princess Sarah is ranked the 69th position, out of a total of 1759 Greenlight games waiting for the greenlit. Probably Steam will release another batch of 75 products during the next few days, let's hope that includes Sarah too - keep your fingers crossed!

About Amazing Princess Sarah: 2014Q3 still confirmed :)

Akane the Kunochi is finally greenlit, so it'll will soon be available for download on Steam. As promised, it will be available on Windows, Mac (Osx), and Linux!
It will take some weeks - and this means that the upcoming Amazing Princess Sarah will be delayed... however, we're getting closer to complete Sarah it, so, regardless of Akane on Steam, expect the new game on 2014Q3 :)

Akane the Kunoichi has just been submitted to Steam Greenlight: it's a way for indie games to be published on the well-known PC and Mac download platform knew as Steam. If you like Akane the Kunoichi and you would love to play it on your PC or Mac (or you just like to help us producing more games), please vote for it here.
PS: about the "annoying jump sound" in the trailer: this sound has been greatly reduced inside the game (ANY version), the trailer however has not been retouched to reflect this (I know, it's a little misleading...)

Haruneko now has its official Facebook page - we'll post there the latest news and infos about your favourite game developer cat :) If you like Haruneko, go there and show us!

Haruneko started as a collective effort - that was especially true back in time, during the Ace Gals Tennis days. However, time passed, and probably now I can say that Haruneko is, almost, a one-man-army. An army however that brought to you the indie hit Akane the Kunoichi - not a bad army indeed :)

The man behind the game is Giovanni Simotti: programmer, game designer and graphician, pro since 2003, pioneer of the mobile game development. Lots of product developed in the past, both good (like Sidegolf, Kyotokei), and bad (like Enjoy your Massage), on consoles and mobile devices.
Haruneko comes out from the desire of doing game development "for quality", without being limited by things like budget or whatever, even if that's means doing it as a night job.

Doing so I can say "The release date? It's ready when it's done" even if I'm not Blizzard - and that's the way the 600-hour-of-hard-work Akane the Kunoichi has been put together.

Everything (graphic, programming and game design - except the soundtrack) is the result of my efforts: hope you'll like it, and please, keep supporting Haruneko! :)

Our indie-hit Akane the Kunoichi is now also avalable on iPhone and iPad, featuring all the console action. If you don't like putting your hands on the screen, no-problem: iCade support included, for a real full arcade experience!
Check it here!

Our indie-hit Akane the Kunoichi is now finally avalable on Windows Phone 7 - a pretty faithful port, a little less hardcore than the original, but playing Akane on a 4" screen is quite amazing :)
Check it here!

Really thank you to anyone who has played and reviewed Akane the Kunoichi - I love you all!

In order to submit the game to the Dream Build Play competition, I've made an adjustment to the gameplay of Ace Gals Tennis!: now if you are logged with an Xbox Live account that have an avatar associated to it, you'll play the game with your own avatar! You'll still have to choose a gal however: she'll be your trainer companion, and will directly influence your stats throughout the game.

A new wallaper featuring Sarah, Paula and Ryoko is in the Goodies section, check it out! Some were complaining about their skirts / trousers being too sexy, well, anyway, who cares... :)
