Koikatsu Sunshine is releasing next week! (2021/08/27)
Hello there!
It has been a while, but at last we're getting a new game from Illusion! It's a sequel to Koikatsu - it's a separate game, not an expansion. It's confirmed that KK cards can be imported to KKS, but not the other way around. You can learn more about the game on the official website here.
If you want to preorder the game, you can do it on DMM. For now it's not available for international users at other online stores and there is no information about a Steam release (A Steam release will most likely come sometime next year, but no one really knows).
I didn't post much on my patreon page recently because there was nothing interesting going on, but that will change with KKS (expect a lot of updates). I'll focus on KKS for a while, and I'll hopefully be able to put out an HF Patch for it within a week or so.

whats the difference between party and this game?
Completely different map and events, some changes to gameplay and new H positions.
Assuming you're taking suggestions in what to convert for KKS? CheatTools and Preg(+) would be my top two.
Those are under way, yes. For now I'm working on a decent enough machine translation and making sure basic plugins work well. Also just playing the game :)
So just got the Japanese version of Sunshine from DMM. Having a crap time installing it though
I cant figure out how to install it :/ it keeps saying i dont have data cabinet pack 1 when i clearly have it
Amazing stuff marco, thanks for all your hard work. I may have already bought it...
thank you for the epic work as always!!!!
Any idea if there will be an English language patch with the release or will that be at a later time?
I should be able to release a hf patch next weekend with translations.
im having trouble downloading the game once i get to the install shield wizard part. do you have any advice would be much appreciated
I was having trouble downloading it earlier on Chrome getting a Failed - Forbidden error on the download file, but opening a new window in Incognito (Ctrl + Shift+ N) fixed that. As for the Startup.exe not opening I was having that too but I set it to run as administator and I moved the contents of the folder "コイカツ！サンシャインDL版" into the same folder as the download files (illusion_0035_1.part1exe" etc) and it just decided to work after that at some point. Hope it helps, if it works the top option in the Startup window is for the manual, middle is to install.
Thank you
It will probably take me a while to fix all the problems when porting cards with mods over, so I won't worry for a week or two without mods.
Similar question as Squibeel Mk.II, will overlays and such carries over? Just so I know not to sink 10 hours making an overlay that doesn't work in Sunshine.
Overlays and other stuff available in maker will work the same.
I gotta ask and hopefully you’ll know. Will all (or most) KK mods be compatible with KKS? When you said that cards can be imported I expect it was just the vanilla ones.
Most zipmods from KK will work with no changes in KKS, the modpack is already working in KKS trial.
