Nothing new to report on the site I'm afraid, both my wife and I have been dealing with different but equally-disruptive illnesses, the last couple weeks have been tough but thankfully things are on the mend so it's not all doom and gloom! (◡‿◡✿)

I'm going to take time out this week to work on doing some more research and hopefully expand the site a little more. I think I've pretty much reached the limit with Deception II so I'd like to polish things up and move onto other games in the franchise. I'd also like to take some time out to start connecting with other...neocitizens? Is that what we're called? Well, regardless, I'd like to start reaching out to other webmasters on here. (◕‿◕✿)

...Of course this all hinges on me not using all my free time on video games so...Fingers crossed I can display a little self-control! (◠‿◠;✿)

See you again soon! ٩(◕‿◕✿)

Updated my piece on Deception II to include coverage of Kagero:Destiny (◕‿◕✿)

I don't mean to brag, but I believe my site now represents the single greatest source of information on Kagero:Destiny in the west! Those bastards over at HardcoreGaming101 have finally been dethroned, they've been riding high off of 3 screenshots and two lines of text for too long! (I'm just being silly, CJ Iwakura's coverage of the Deception franchise for HG101 is absolutely fantastic and served as a great jumping off point for my research.) (◠‿◠✿)

If you'd like to reach out to me you can either leave a message via neocities or contact me over discord, my username is shunga_youkyu (◕‿◕✿)

See you again soon! ٩(◕‿◕✿)

Started work on my first piece of videogame research - Kagero: Deception II (◠‿◠✿)

I'm still missing a lot of information on the game's development history, but I did recently discover a few interesting facts about it's release in the west, namely that for most of it's development history it was known as "Kagero: Castle of Deception". From the looks of things, the guys handling marketing in the west had a really out-dated copy of the game's design document to work with and little else, leading to some really odd claims in some of the earlier advertising material about how the game would play. Fascinating stuff! (^‿^✿)

As I said last time, if you have any info on the game I'd love it if you could reach out and contact me! (✧ᴗ✧✿)

See you again soon! ٩(◕‿◕✿)

Added a landing page, made some buttons and did a little cleaning up. (◕‿◕✿)

I'm currently in the process of gathering info on the following games:

• Kagero: Deception II
• Kagero: Destiny
• Deception: Trap Girls
• Carnage Heart: Programming Soldier

If you have absolutely any information whatsoever on these games it would mean a lot if you could send it my way. I'm particularly interested in gameplay footage, audio/visual assets and advertising materials.
A playable version of Kagero: Destiny would be particularly amazing but I'm not holding my breath on that one, it's a Japanese-only java cellphone game so I'm assuming it's effectively been lost to the sands of time. (◡_◡✿)

Thanks for taking the time to visit, I hope to see you again soon ٩(◕‿◕✿)

Finished up the basic framework for the site, it's still missing the majority of content but at least now I have places to start putting things (◠‿◠✿)

Actually writing down the things I want to document is proving to be surprisingly difficult, because the things that I know and the things I can recollect from memory feel like two wildly different categories, it's almost like I'm having to completely relearn everything I thought I originally knew. It can feel a little frustrating at times, but ultimately I'm sure it's for the best. (◡‿◡✿)

Once again, Thank you for visiting! ٩(◕‿◕✿)

This site technically started April 2nd but it wasn't until the 4th that I actually put any meaningful effort into it, so shhhh don't tell anyone the start date is technically off, okay? (╹◡◠✿)

Shungaming Plaza is dedicated to my passions (Primarily Playstation franchises that have slipped through the cracks of public conciousness) and my hobbies (game design) as well as anything else that happens to appeal to me. (◕‿◕✿)

Thank you for visiting, I hope you'll come back again soon. ٩(◕‿◕✿)
