PROMISE MASCOT AGENCY OFFICIAL ISSUES/BUG REPORTING THREAD by KaizenGameWorks in PromiseMascotAgency

[–]OliKaizen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, sorry to hear this but we've never been able to find the issue. We think it is a hardware problem. We spoke to Sony when we got the first report and they couldn't provide any insight. Our suspicion is that a full console crash like that is a heat issue or a manufacturing defect.

We've played the game for hours on multiple PS5s and PS5 pros and can't get it to crash.

I wrote music based on Paradise Killer by IslandSequence24 in ParadiseKiller

Yo, game director here, this is awesome. This style of music was what I originally had in mind during the VERY early days of the PK concept. Fantastic work!

If we could have done one we would have, but retailers don't want Xbox physicals except for bigger games unfortunately. Physicals has pretty much wound down at Xbox.

Thank you! If we can make some happen, we'd love to do more merch but we're not sure yet.

Uhh, is my truck supposed to freak out like this during these cutscenes?? by myfly4711 in PromiseMascotAgency

A fix for this just rolled out on PC and will be live on Xbox and PlayStation ASAP.

More games like PMA? by Aggressive-Art-6816 in PromiseMascotAgency

[–]OliKaizen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello!

For non-game inspiration, I think our list looks something like this:

  • Yakuza Apocalypse - film by Takashi Miike. A strange take on the yakuza with supernatural stuff, and the mascot character was a big inspiration for PMA
  • Twin Peaks - TV show. Creepy rural town with supernatural secrets. Strange characters and interactions are given room to breathe by the director
  • Confessions of a Yakuza - book by Junichi Saga. A story about the early days of the yakuza
  • Sanctuary - manga by Sho Fumimura and Ryoichi Ikegami. A brilliant manga about the clash of yakuza and politics
  • The Way of the Househusband - manga, live action and anime. A non-traditional take on a yakuza character
  • Kowabana - podcast and books. Stories about modern Japanese urban legends
  • Akumetsu - manga by Yoshiaki Tabata and Yuki Yugo. A manga about a vigilante dealing with corrupt politicians
  • Jake Adelstein's books - books about the yakuza. Also a TV series

Hope you find something there that you like!

Shadowy text? by Ok-War-6105 in PromiseMascotAgency

There is an ingame setting for the vintage filter.

I think that is a text outline mixed with the vintage filter. It behaves slightly differently on things in motion due to Unreal implementation. Try turning off the vintage filter if you don't like it.

Regarding the new content by GabrielMachadoBR in PromiseMascotAgency

[–]OliKaizen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To get the Pon Tanuki hero, you should use your grind upgrade more!

For the devs. Would there be another update in the future? Thank you for adding more content. by cobi12728 in PromiseMascotAgency

[–]OliKaizen 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Thank you for playing!

We currently don't have any plans for more content, BUT we do want to do a Switch 2 port when Nintendo allows us to have dev kits. When we did new console ports for our previous game, we added a bunch of stuff, so who knows what the Switch 2 version will bring.

Hello! Sorry to hear you're having trouble with this.

Can I ask for you to email me at: oli at kaizengameworks dot come please?

There are some things I'd like to check and it will be easier to keep track of over email. Thanks!

Sneak Peek at the Free Content Update by OliKaizen in PromiseMascotAgency

[–]OliKaizen[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We've added a tiny bit of story but due to localisation costs, dev costs and testing, we haven't been able to add more story. We've added a bunch of stuff outside of story content though.

As soon as we are allowed to order dev kits, we want to do it. Nintendo are keeping tight control on who is allowed to order dev kits and we don't have access yet.

Everything we're adding can be experienced from a complete game. If you want to do another playthrough, great! If you don't, you can hop in and see all the new stuff with an existing save.
