This week marked the 2nd anniversary of Hyakuten Games's first visual novel Royal Duality! Royal Duality was the first visual novel that seraten04 and I (rosemask22) ever worked on and it is still one of the most rewarding projects I have ever been involved in.
Royal Duality was a project that was created mostly during lockdown so being able to connect with so many people across the world in a time when you couldn't leave your house was really special. We were lucky enough to have the most phenomenal voice cast! It was such an amazing feeling to hear these characters (we had created years ago) be given a voice for the first time.
I'd like to thank everyone again who helped us create Royal Duality! We wouldn't be making more visual novels if it wasn't for all of you. :)
