- A New Experimental Netplay Patch! - 10 April 2025
We're happy to announce a new update to the existing community branch, and a new experimental netplay branch! This branch works on fixing desyncs for various characters, and has breaking changes that are not cross compatible with other branches. See details below! Community Netplay Branch Over the years, one of the most commonly reported issues with the netplay system is desyncs. We've managed to identify and fix some instances of this, particularly in matches containing Beatrice and Lambdadelta. This change will be released on the community-netplay branch as an experimental fix, to be merged into the community branch depending on your feedback. Please note that matches in the community-netplay are not compatible with any other branch. Make sure both players are using the same branch when playing against each other. New update! We also have some new functionality for the existing commun…
- Public Community Beta Patch - 18 July 2024
On December 31, 2010, Umineko: Golden Fantasia's original Japanese release was at Comiket 79. Today, nearly 15 years later it's returning to the hands of independent artists and fans on Steam via a new Community Beta Patch with support from MangaGamer! We have selected: Sky Leite to be the maintainer of the Community Beta Patch. MangaGamer will provide development checks and support on Steam publishing, while Sky will be the Lead Developer of the content on the Community Beta Patch. We have a long road map for the Community Beta Patch we are planning on elaborating on in future updates, but the initial release has the following long-awaited changes and fixes to Golden Fantasia to help bring it up to date with modern fighting game standards: Fix incorrect game speed on high refresh rate display monitors. Add feature to bind controllers from the main menu. Fix previous inability to bind t…
- Steam Remote Play Now Integrated! - 25 March 2021
When we set out to ship Golden Fantasia on Steam, we had two goals in mind - localize the title, and make the netplay better than it used to be. The second proved to be a much more difficult, and completely new endeavor for those of us at MangaGamer. For the English localization team, lead by a small group of former Melty Blood players - endeavored to improve the total experience of playing the game. At the time, outside of GGPO and closed-source alternatives, rollback netplay was the most available, successful, and well-documented. MadScientist had worked on this form of networking extensively, and graciously accepted work with us to implement rollback netplay. It was later maintained by our on-team staff to solve configuration options after release. However, as we opened up to a larger pool of players we found that rollback netplay was not always the best solution. Though it did allow…

Fighting game fans looking for something a little stranger than usual to fill out their library are in for a treat today.

While the very first edition of this game came out all the way back in December 2010, this is the officially localised, polished and finalised version of the Cross release, a major expansion which bumped up the size of the playable cast to a respectable 19.

- Netplay Rollout and Live Testing! - 8 December 2017
Hello Everyone! Today, we, poverty anime fighting game players and umineko fans alike, will start mashing on our new completely overhauled netplay system for Golden Fantasia (Ougon/OMK)! If you would like to learn what rollback is, we invite you to check our blogpost and learn about the concepts behind bringing you low-delay netplay for fighting games!

Grab a friend, and enable debug mode when you create a game. Debu…
