Hello everyone!

As the title says, I'm working on a full remaster collection for the entire Battle Live series of games! The title of the game will be Battle Live The Idol School Collection!

If you haven't checked out my latest dev blogs that talk about it (on Tumblr or Patreon) here's a quick roundup of everything that's being changed and added to the remaster collection:

• Brand new art and UI
• Rewritten stories for all of the games (especially the first three)
• NEW! The cancelled project that was originally between Battle Live and Halloween Live, Summer Live, finally being added in!
• NEW! Bonus stories that go into more detail about the characters and their interactions!

Here's a little look at what the first draft of part one: Battle Live looks like:

I'm making good progress on the first pass of the overall game, and am excited to share the finished game with you all sometime this year! (hopefully lol). The full game will be Free but will have Paid DLC with some more bonus stories I have cooking, so if you like BatLive and have wanted to support me financially, even a little, you can look forward to that!

IMPORTANT INFO AHEAD PLEASE READ!

With this exciting news I do have to bring up some news that might make some people upset (and no, this isn't an April Fools' joke despite the day I'm posting this).

Once the Battle Live remaster is released all of the original versions of the games, and the original artbook, will be archived and you'll be unable to download them if you haven't already.

This was a tough decision to make, but ultimately it was a necessary one. To put it bluntly, it's been difficult to get people to play all the games, even if they downloaded Battle Live. The difference in downloads is night and day (with Battle Live and Valentines and White Day Live outranking the others in downloads and views. )

As much as I'd like to keep the original versions of the games up, I would rather people experience all the games together to get the full experience. I want to thank everyone who's followed me on itch since Battle Live first released, and I hope you look forward to experiencing the new, updated versions of all these games that mean a lot to me.

And to anyone who's been meaning to check out the games, or even buy the artbook, don't worry! I won't be suddenly removing them right before the game comes out. I plan on having a special sale for two weeks before the remaster's release where you'll be able to get the games and the artbook for a decent discount before I ultimately archive them.

Thank you everyone for reading this post, and I'll be sharing more updates about the progress of the Battle Live remaster as time goes on.

Take care~!
