What happened to GemaYue's other game?

[Warxa]

On Twitter, GemaYue kept posting dev logs of a Rabi-Ribi sequel with a blonde rabbit witch girl. What happened to it? Did it get cancelled? Did it get turned into TEVI? I liked the old rabbit girl design a lot more.

Here's what I'm talking about in case people don't know https://twitter.com/GemaYue/status/1257020968448360448

I don't think he ever stated it was a 'Rabi-ribi sequel', just had some common in-world elements, right? (Cocoa and UPRPRC in particular)

But yeah, I'm curious about that too, actually. It's been 3 years, so my belief is that GemaYue eventually agreed to overhaul the feel and design to be this game instead?

Or that it's a separate project altogether and he stopped posting about it to work on Tevi instead?

I can't imagine him working on both games at the same time, so... hmm

That should be another work he is developing in parallel.

Tevi i am sure isn't directly related to Rabi-Ribi lorewise, pretty sure it's not the same universe at all, i wouldn't say it's Rabi-Ribi 2, it's just an spiritual sucessor.
Then there's Love Bunny, that one does have direct connection to Rabi-Ribi, it probably stil isn't a sequel or prequel either but it is clear that one is in Rabi-Ribi's universe as Cocoa is in that game.
Either way this means we basically get 1 extra rabi-ribi-like game (eventually) and thats great, love bunny as far as i know is a hobby project by the developer, been in development for many years so we can hope it's gonna be packed with content once crespirit lets him work on it full-time (if that what happens unless there's yet another game in the works but most likely the dev will be busy supporting this one for at least a couple of years to come).

It is been excatly 1 year since my last tweet. Currently I am still trying my best to finish the next game with CreSpirit (Currently on Chapter 6). Then I will continue work on my own bunny game. Sorry about the lack of update. :rabbit:

Not abandoned, just extended hiatus to work on TEVI. Love Bunny will likely appear as Gema's third bunny game.

[竜一ゼキラ (Zekira G. Drake]

Just double-checked, Gema's profile did say that he's working on two games, so we can presume that's both TEVI and the Love Bunny one.

What a hardworker... thank you for all of these blessings, GemaYue.

Tevi was a secret project he is worked on separatly from love buny.

I hope Love Bunny is a full female cast, I kinda don't like that TEVI is not.

My man Gema single-handedly keeping the bnuuys alive for us

Maybe he was the true UPRPRC leader all along

I feel the same way. I still think Tevi is going to be a great game, but I'm gonna miss the all girl cast of Rabi-Ribi

Bad take, nice to have some variety in the cast, lopsided cast ratios such as Touhou and Dragon Ball can be rather weird. And there'll be plenty of cute girls along the way still (And boys too now)
Plus, Sable is certainly as cute as any anime girl, and I love the interesting contrast between him and Celia.

Yeah, not a big fan either. It also feels like the fanservice is more toned down overall, and the tone is definitely more grim. Feels like it's trying to get the audience that dismissed RabiRibi because of the "icky anime fanservice" look.

At least it's called something else so it's okay if it wants to be its own thing, but I'll keep waiting for an actual RabiRibi sequel.

I sincerely hope this doesn't become "I won't play Tevi because it's not all females." Please don't stoop to the level of those that dismissed Rabi-Ribi.

I get what u mean but frankly for this one case, I'd give GemaYue the benefit of the doubt that he just wanted to make something a bit more serious in tone
And let's not kid outselves now, even in RR, outside of the CGs (Most of which are DLC) and Rita/Erina, the fanservice is really mild

About having dudes in it, eh, I cannot say I relate, sure I prefer to look at beautiful voluptuous ladies but a couple of background men being sprinkled in is not a big deal

"background men" One of the orbiters is a guy. One of the shopkeeps is a guy. Tevi's father exists. They are not really background characters when they are front and center. Random nameless guard is background.
