Dear Backers,
Physical reward shipping for international backers is about to begin. We are planning to ship the rewards to the warehouse in the US by the end of this month. This will also be the last week to change addresses, so please see below for details. Rewards are almost on the way and we ask for your cooperation as we gear up for delivery.
Address Finalization
Shipping addresses will be locked down on June 29th (Friday) at 10:00PM JST (9:00AM EDT). If you need to change your address, please go to your Backerkit survey and make any necessary changes by this time.
If you have lost your survey link, you can request a new one HERE , then enter your email address that you have registered with Kickstarter and hit "Get My Survey".
We would like to once again apologize for the delay and as always thank you for your continued support and kind patience.
Pistrix Progress Report
We are proud to present Pistrix’s character art that will be featured in the story mode.
Both Pistrix’s character art and sprites are the work of Mr. Hiroyuki Mano.
We are continuing to work on Dark Heart as well, and we hope to be able to report progress on her soon.
Again we would like to offer our apologies for all the delays.
All of our staff members are working as hard as they can to make sure everyone will be able to enjoy the game as soon as possible. Until then we thank you once again for your continued support.
For backers living in Japan
The rewards for international backers are set to be shipped out at the end of this month but due to a deficiency in our item inventory meant to supply the rewards for Japan based backers, shipping of rewards bound for Japan will suffer a slight delay.
We have commenced production of additional items and we are expecting shipping for Japan bound rewards to commence mid-July.
We would like to offer backers our sincere apologies for these additional delays.
Reward Shipping Delay Apology & β Version / Paracelsia Update
almost 6 years ago
– Fri, Jun 01, 2018 at 11:40:58 PM
Dear Backers,
We have finally solved our DVD problem that was holding up rewards shipping and have a target set to begin delivery at the end of June.
We are sorry for the both the shipping delay and for the lack of an update concerning the delay. We understand the trouble it has caused and give our deepest apologies.
All the rewards are ready and preparations are under way for their safe delivery to you. We cannot thank you enough for your continued support and patience.
16:9 Mode & β Version Release
As stated in our last update, the battle screen will be only use the existing 16:9 aspect ratio from “Arcana Heart 3 LOVEMAX SIXSTARS!!!!!!” for the first β version.
For those of you who received a Steam key as a Kickstarter reward, you will see the “Arcana Heart 3 LOVEMAX SIXSTARS!!!!!! Crowdfunding Edition” appear in your Steam library within the coming days. Please give it a download and have fun playing in 16:9 mode!
Please understand that this β version will be an upload test. Further updates will include the new playable character, Pistrix and new Arcana, Paracelsia.
Dev BBS
The Dev BBS will open with the first β version update after the original launch. We are still getting it ready, but are looking forward to your input!
We are planning to have the Dev BBS on Discord.
Paracelsia the Arcana of Life
With the past focus on Pistrix, we haven’t spent much time on the new Arcana, Paracelsia, so we would like to show a new video with her in action.
With Extend Force, Paracelsia becomes a playable character with which you can use to attack your opponent. We know many a player had many a trial facing Paracelsia, but this time she is on your side to help you dish out the punishment.
We are working as hard as we can to get your rewards and the β version out to you so you can enjoy them as soon as possible! Thank you again for your support!
Update on Shark Girl & Apology for the Shipping Delay
about 6 years ago
– Fri, Mar 30, 2018 at 12:57:01 AM
＊日本語はページ下部にあります。
Hello everyone, we have a couple of announcements.
Shark Girl in the Works
Shark Girl is steadily taking form; her ABC attack motions are finally complete!
The B attack is inspired by the crown-of-thorns starfish and the C attack is inspired by the goblin shark. Especially for her C attack, we made it special by having it bite and then pull the opponent towards her.
※The sprites are not colored yet because it is still under development.
The attack motions and effects are a rough draft and is under development.
Shark Girl’s Official Name has Been Decided!
Shark Girl finally has an official name!
Her name is “Pistrix".
Her nickname is “Peace”.
We will continue to update you on Peace-chan’s progress, but stay tuned for Dark Heart’s progress updates as well!
β ver. Download & BBS Development
We are also working on the β ver. download and BBS development.
Changing the aspect ratio to 16:9
The aspect ratio for Arcana Heart has always been 6:3, however we have decided to change our aspect ratio to 16:9, the common ratio for current 2D arcade fighting games.
We are thinking of rolling out the 16:9 aspect ratio in the β ver. first, and then implement it into the BBS after listening to everyone’s feedback.
Apology for the Shipping Delay
We were planning to ship out the rewards by the end of March. However we had a problem arise with the install program on the physical version of the game, resulting in the delay of disk manufacturing and thus the delay in shipping.
As of now, we are still in the process of manufacturing the disks. We will post an update once we have further details of when we will be able to ship out the rewards.
We deeply apologize for the delay in rewards shipments.
We will do our best to provide everyone with the best possible quality of rewards and, of course, Arcana Heart 3 LOVE MAX !!!!!! Thank you all for your support and patience.
This gorgeous collection is oh-so-lovingly stuffed with over 500 illustrations from Arcana Heart! We hope you enjoy this commemoration of Arcana Heart’s 10th anniversary.
*During the campaign, this reward was referred to as the “Digital copy of the Commemorative Illustration Collection”.
ARCANA HEART HEART FULL SOUND COLLECTION BEST (DIGITAL VERSION)
Under the direction of our sound supervisor Motoharu Yoshihira, we are happy to bring you this gem that is the Arcana Heart “best of” album featuring player requests, previously unavailable songs, SSS tracks and more.
*This reward was previously referred to as “Digital OST for SixStarS!!!!!!”.

Fulfillment Update and New Shark Girl Sprite Poses
over 6 years ago
– Thu, Jan 04, 2018 at 01:28:33 PM
＊日本語はページ下部にあります。
Happy 2018 Everyone!
Nazuna Inuwaka pushed to the brink playing the traditional New Year game of Hanatsuki (battledore and shuttlecock)
Today we have an update on rewards, plus the unveiling of new sprite work for Shark Girl.
Reward Shipping
At the start of the project here on Kickstarter, we had originally estimated reward shipping would commence in February, however, we had increased the number of orders on BackerKit beyond our expectations which will affect manufacture. Because of the timing with the yearend season, the factory is experiencing high workloads which will cause a reward production delay and push back shipping to March. We sincerely apologize for any trouble this may cause.
Game development is still on track, so there will be no schedule change for the digital version release with the new characters. Also, the OST and Commemorative Illustration Collection digital rewards are still expected to go out the first part of February.
New Shark Girl Sprite Poses
Shark Girl’s standing and sitting action poses have just been worked up, so we want to give you a sneak peek! (*Designs are still in development and may be subject to change.)
We are happy to report the Steam port release went smoothly, so we are now ready to get full into new character development next year. The designers are eager to give Shark Girl a moveset unlike any of the Angels to come before, so please look forward to it!
We hope for continued support this New Year! Thank you very much!
