The thread about everything: http://www.sega-16.com/forum/showthread.php?33280-The-Situation-With-Watermelon-Thread
Gwenael Godde (currently the only person behind Watermelon, everyone else left the company) scammed a lot of developers, including me. If you know this and still buy this fuckin’ game, then don’t expect anything but hostile behavior from me. Say “Hi” – I say “Fuck off”. By buying Paprium you mark yourself as my personal enemy. I don’t give a fuck.

Sacred Line Zero Prototype Is Now Available For Everyone
An April 2015 draft revised in April 2018.
This is a 2015 April draft which was revised by me today before making it public. Fixed many text parts and game crashes.
It shows about 10-15% of the game, overall it was supposed to be at least 2-3 times bigger than Sacred Line Genesis.
The gameplay of the prequel was inspired by Divi-Dead (1998). There are more interaction options and I tried to add an open-world feel to gameplay using direction choices.
Download it here.

[11.2017] Reviews. Lots of reviews. And giveaways.

There are also game giveaways (The Deadly Tower of Monsters, DARIUSBURST, Dreadout, etc.) made in collaboration with publishers, so stay tuned.
And I have more than one hundred movie reviews at the moment, they will appear here sometime soon…probably.
