Confirmed Harmonia will release in English before Japanese:


Very surprising.

So does anyone recognise the name Tsuzuru Nakamura? They are the co-writer for the game.

Updated the information in the opening post to better reflect official artwork and information and stuff. I tried to get the important stuff in there but it’s possible I may’ve missed something, in which case feel free to let me know.

@Aspirety I really couldn’t find anything on this guy. Unless I somehow missed it, there’s like nothing out there. Only thing I can assume is that this is his first real project. If someone else could dig something up, though, that’d be great.

I’m not going to pretend I understand everything I’ve read, nor that the sources are waterproof, but this is what I’ve gathered about this situation. VisualArts sponsored an amateur writing contest. In the announcement of the winners, there are comments from Kai and Baba. Baba’s comment specifically mentions Nakamura Tsuzuru’s work 『届けたいメロディー』(same title as the OP for Harmonia), and that he wanted to visualize the story; note that it didn’t even win anything (Link). I have no idea if Harmonia is supposed to be the same story as from the contest, or if it’s something Key used as a base; if nothing else, it at least explains a bit of why this Nakamura guy is important.

That’s really cool; now it just has to get approved. Going on a tangent, Swedish steam translates “Announcements” into “Confessions”. What, I can’t even.

I´m not really up to date to the Harmonia facts, so I´m sorry if this is a dumb question, but do we know how long the VN will be in length?

Not really. In general, KineticNovels arent typically very long. I’m assuming it will be somewhere around planetarian’s length, so maybe ~4-10 hours

Lol, nice to know that the director of the Rewrite Anime series is a fan of Key. @vavasyatyou You should see a couple of Key related tweets. But, that one about Harmonia though. Doesn’t make sense.

Umm, that’s Baba Takahiro, VisualArts president, not the director of Rewrite. Also, what’s non-nonsensical about that tweet? It was made a week before Harmonia passed greenlight.

Harmonia going to be finalized in a few weeks. :smiley:

Not really news, since we know it’s coming by the end of the year :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m thinking that there will be plenty of religious references (planetarian) like discussed in the planetarian thread but more direct seeing the church in the screenshots and as Shiona wears robes with Christian crosses on them but then she looks more like a priestess instead of a nun.

Not to mention the title itself “Harmonia” is the name of an Ancient Greek Goddess. Harmonia is the goddess of harmony and concord.
