• New Space Farming Mechanic

  • Introduced movable asteroids (小惑星 / しょうわくせい) as a new core resource system

  • While flying your spaceship, you can shoot asteroids using the left mouse button at the cost of 1 Mana per shot. An in-game wiki or guide is still planned, but discovering mechanics on your own is intended to feel more rewarding than reading everything upfront.

  • Shooting angles matter - diagonal shots currently don’t work, adding a light “risk/reward” element as you position yourself correctly

  • Destroyed asteroids become hidden, but your ship will slightly rise when flying over their remains, giving subtle feedback

  • Asteroids are intentionally non-blocking, allowing you to fly through them for smoother exploration

  • This system lays the foundation for future trading, crafting, space events, and resource expansion (more items planned)

  • Current focus remains on developing the two existing planets: ネマク and ゼルカ before adding more planets

• UI & Visual Updates

  • 地球 = ち きゅう = Earth (planet visual added)

  • All planet names now display furigana

• Fix

  • Prevented landing on high walls in space (fixes players landing on walls then fall off, resulting in not getting back to your ship. Let me know should you have this issue.

• Music Room

  • 2nd floor unlocked with more tracks coming as the 1st floor is full.

  • New tracks:

    • コイン = Coin (Advanced)

    • サングラス = Sunglasses (Beginner)

• JLPT N3 Progress

  • Completed 100 JLPT Q&A, but not yet implemented in-game. Furigana and coding are still being added, with full release planned for next week’s update. This was the main feature for this week and took longer than expected.

• More Content in Progress

  • New music, stories, card game features, maps, and many more planned.

A huge update has arrived with expanded Japanese N4 learning content, new space exploration features and more!

Added a full 100-question JLPT N4 quiz set!

• Improved visuals and clearer UI feedback

• Correct answers now show check marks

• Furigana added where needed

• In-depth explanations for better understanding

• Many example sentences included

More JLPT N4 content and other levels will continue to be added in future updates!

The Space Room is now open with new interactivity and exploration:

• Buy your spaceship and spacesuit in the room shop

• Press “Enter” under your spaceship to board and exit

• Travel to 2 new planets with unique background music

• New NPCs added (No text showing, only listening at this point)

• Planets and space will continue to expand massively over time

This is just the beginning of a much larger space system with future updates planned:

• New planets, biomes, creatures, items, and themes

Fishing is now more than just fish-catching:

• New zone-based items added:

  • Herbs

  • Octopus

  • Squid

  • Seaweed

Improvements:

• Catch text is now larger and stays longer on screen

• Now only in Japanese with mini item images

• New fishing spots added

These items will be used in future crafting systems for cooking and recipes.

• NEW Background music, rebalanced (less overpowering and more atmospheric)

• Some maps now use ambient sound instead of music

• Music better supports immersion and player focus

• Jukebox system will be improved in future updates

• Space Q&A points added to scorecard system (all space quizzes)

• Chair sizes adjusted for better visuals

• Improved intro audio timing (school bell with muted sound effects)

• Fire event (BBQ) unified to use consistent recipe display

This update focuses on expanding both learning content and immersive gameplay systems, bringing more depth to Japanese study through exploration, interaction, and progression. I feel that not everything needs to be tied to a JLPT level, it should also reflect the unique atmosphere and feel of each planet. More content, planets, quizzes, and systems are already in development!
