Funny thing is that they deleted that tweet and reposted it without the logo. And deleted it again because of a mispelled an. And reposted it to correct it. And deleted it again.How's THIS for marketing???
oh....not great?

Why not just postpone the release? Seems like a internal communication issue.
Remember when Konami used to have the weirdest E3 press conferences? Apparently the person in charge of them now runs the Twitter feed.
By the way, it's about a 4 hour game. My review is late because I lost all internet last night but I beat it start to finish in a single sitting. I'm not saying that's good or bad, but something to be aware of.

This feels like a classic Konami thing to do, although I can't remember the last indie they published.
They've gotten better at promoting their own games but I guess that doesn't apply to anything else their publishing.

"Indie" just means "developed by a small studio" these days.

From a developer on the steam forums. 35fps?
Unfortunately you can't really just press a button and postpone a release last minute like this. The logistics of shifting a release take a bit of time on consoles and as it stands with COVID-19, I know at very least Sony's publishing team is not operating at full capacity. All they can really do is postpone their marketing for the game considering this situation basically appeared out of nowhere less than a week ago. Realistically, they probably had to make the entirety of this decision yesterday given everyone would have been out of office for the weekend.
this cannot be right...someone has to be confusing framerate with animations, right? There's literally no point to have a game run at 35fps, not in 2020.
Konami, a publisher often rumored to have ties to the yakuza, are releasing a game by a developer named "Ukuza."
Yeah I said in the eshop thread that it makes me irrationally angry. It's so bad.
interesting! do we know if that was their intention with that name?
Oh yea, I remember this game, did an interview with the dev a few years ago, good to see it got released.
Watching some more footage and it's weird to me that the protagonist doesn't have clothes or signifying items or anything. He's just a naked cartoon skeleton with a sword.
Like give him a hoodie or something to make him cute and relatable. No game has ever done that.

Wow, what the fuck. That's one of the most bizarre ways to promote a game in living memory.
the joke was undertale
Man, their E3 plans got all the way fucked up huh. $10 says this was supposed to be announced as a shadow drop during a conference or something.
That thread is from 2018, which I guess is how long the game has been in development for.
I'm sorry but that's simply not true. The game was initially due out in... mid-April? I forget the exact date. Either way, it was delayed a couple days before release to June 1. Seeing as it was a shadow-drop, the game known with a published web page but its association with Konami being a weirdly-tight secret, nobody really noticed at the time.
Steam page is wrong. It's levels and rooms are all hand-designed, no random anything.
What did I say that wasn't true? You can't delay console games in an instant (this is a fact), companies (at very least Sony which I know for a fact) aren't operating at full internal capacity and that they were very likely away from work for the weekend (not a fact but do you really think they work weekends?)
I don't really understand what you're trying to say. That the game was delayed last-minute last time?
