Kodansha announced that it has established the Fairy Tail Indie Game Guild project. It will use this guild to help independent game creators release games themed after Hiro Mashima's manga series of the same title.
The company also revealed the first two games that will be part of the project. It will release both titles on PC via Steam worldwide in seven languages: Japanese, English, French, Korean, Thai, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.
Fairy Tail: Dungeons will be the first game in this project. It will feature a rogue-lite gameplay system where the player will collect magic cards based on attacks from the series' characters and construct a deck with them for the chosen character to fight monsters inside the dungeon. This game will be available on August 27, 2024 in Japan, South Korea, Eastern Australia, and New Zealand, or August 26, 2024 for the rest of the world.
The second game in the project will be Fairy Tail: Beach Volleyball Havoc. As the title suggests, this game will feature casual beach volleyball matches between Fairy Tail characters with additional special magic effects. Kodansha will release this game simultaneously worldwide on September 16 or 17, 2024, depending on the time zone.
The Fairy Tail series already has an official RPG for PC and consoles developed by Koei Tecmo's Gust, and the same studio is working on its sequel that will appear in Winter 2024. The new indie titles will further complement the lineup of games based on the franchise. In the Japanese press release, Kadokawa added that it will release Fairy Tail: Birth of Magic, a versus game with original magic creation system, as the third indie title.
Fairy Tail: Dungeons will appear first on August 26 or 27, 2024, and Fairy Tail: Beach Volleyball Havoc will follow on September 16 or 17, 2024. Both Fairy Tail indie games will be available worldwide digitally on PC via Steam.

Once again I have some bullet points about New Eden related topics on Friday. The EVE Online login server was down earlier today (I had half a dozen updates in my email from the EVE Status alerts page) but things seem to be up and running, so off we go to the bullet points.
A year back, with the collapse of the FI.RE coalition and their retreat clockwise through null sec, where many of the parties landed in the now defunct B2 coalition (though a few kept on going clockwise and passed into alliance with Fraternity and PanFam), there was a question as to what would become of the power vacuum left in the southeast of null sec.
That led to the South Eastern Agreement, in with the major null sec coalitions pledged not to attack, take space, or put allies into that area with the idea of letting new non-bloc aligned organizations get a footing in null sec. The agreement was set to last for one year, a timeline that ran out last week. Some details:
The agreement was not renewed mostly because neither side in the current bi-polar bloc structure of null sec felt it was in their interest. Pandemic Horde attacked, took space, and put allies into the are during the agreement, letting everybody know they could not be trusted, and the Imperium had no interest in protecting the space or being the enforcer, especially since PH seemed keen to provoke a war out of the situation so they could get their allies to assist. So the agreement ended.
Did it do any good? Maybe. Some groups lived there in fairly relative peace. Now, however, unless they are well out of the line of fire, they are likely going to have to pick sides or be ground down in the ongoing PH attacks on the Imperium down there.
The War for New Eden Kickstarter campaign ended earlier this week as well, with the project successfully funded, bringing up the success/failure ratio for EVE Online related campaigns a bit.
EVE Strategy Board Game
The campaign closed out with a number considerably over their initial goal.
The final totals for the campaign
If you are just hearing about this and feel like you have missed out, you can still put in a post-campaign pledge at the War for New Eden web site. Some links for those interested:
Now, of course, the question is when are backers going to get this rather large board game with so many pieces and board segments? The promise is by Christmas, but I will be surprised it that happens, even with 10 months to go. We shall see.
And what were the other EVE Online Kickstarter campaigns? There are a number of failed ones including the EVE Online Control Panel, a spiffy bit of hardware, and the badly mishandled Fountain War Book campaign.
And the successes? Andrew Groen’s Empires of EVE Vol. 1 and Vol. 2.
CCP did a fairly big update that included the return of LP trading and a balance pass through a several ship classes.
Honestly, this felt like something that would have been a dev blog in the old days, but they just stuck it in the February patch notes and rolled on.
There are changes to command ships, marauders, entropic disintigrators, and rapid light missile launchers at the top of the list, along with a host of smaller items. You will, for example, now be able to pre-heat modules while still cloaked and invulnerable after a gate jump, so you’ll be ready to rock when you break invuln and decloak.
You can find all the updates in the patch notes for February 20th here.
There is also a write up over at TNG about it.
I haven’t thought about the CSM since the last election, but they are still at work and went to Iceland for the winter summit. CCP Swift posted the summit agenda back at the end of January, and we have been getting some updates and peeks into what happened over on Reddit, including the following posts:
Since the EVE Online news ecosystem has pretty much collapsed I am not sure how much else we’ll hear about the summit. CCP has run hot and cold on minutes of the meetings over the years, so maybe we’ll get something, or maybe we won’t.
Anyway, it is Friday, the weekend is at hand, and it is going to be warm and sunny here in Silicon Valley, all the better to dry us out after the most recent atmospheric river pass.
