Shadow Kisuragi said:I take it you don't play shmups. There's a lot of work that goes into fine-tuning the experience and difficulty, and small changes can result in having to rebalance the entire experience.
Not to mention if you count previous titles from Qute like
Eschatos and
Ginga Force it takes a bit of time to finish up all the stages, enemy formations and patterns, as well as all the music for the game's soundtrack and fit them all into place, some of these games had multiple composers working on them, and in the case of
Ginga Force the whole game was voice acted, so there's probably going to be a fully voice acted cast for
Natsuki Chronicle similar to their previous game.
