皆様へ
悲しいお知らせをしなければなりません。
去る令和6年2月6日、弊社 Rabbit&Bear Studios 代表である村山吉隆が
多臓器不全のため急逝いたしました。

村山は我々とともに、2020年のKickstarterから今まで多くの皆様に喜ばれる作品をという強い思いで長い間「百英雄伝」の制作を進めておりました。

現在「百英雄伝」は発売に向け最終段階に入っております。
発売日を迎える事なく世を去った村山の無念を思うと言葉もありません。

我々もいまだこの現実を受け止めきれない状況でおりますが、
村山の遺志は残されたメンバーで受け継ぎ、彼の作り上げた
「百英雄伝」という作品世界を守り育てていく所存です。
それが、村山の願いであると信じています。

Hello everyone,
It’s with a heavy heart and deep sadness we must inform you
that the scenario writer and head of Rabbit& Bear Studios,
Yoshitaka Murayama, has passed away on February 6th
due to complications with an ongoing illness.

Murayama first began this journey of the creation of
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes in 2020
through the support of his very loving fans on Kickstarter.
Throughout the three-plus-year-development of the game,
it was always the passion from his fans that continued to
drive his creative vision and motivate him to put his all into the project.

His hard work on Eiyuden Chronicle as scenario writer was finished
but as his co-workers and friends, it saddens us to know that
he won’t get to see the reactions from his fans.

However, even with those feelings we need to accept
the reality that he is no longer with us and continue to push
his dream forward by releasing Eiyuden Chronicle to the world.

We want to maintain his legacy and vision with this game and
know that he would have wanted the rich world he has created
with Eiyuden Chronicle to live on.

His family sincerely appreciates your prayers and support
but asks for privacy and that no flowers, mail, or other offerings be sent.

We will have more information on organizational changes to
Rabbit & Bear as well as changes to some of the Kickstarter rewards
in the near future.

For now, we appreciate your continued support.

Rabbit & Bear Studios,
Junko Kawano
