The Hungry Lamb: Traveling in the Late Ming Dynasty · published
Hi everyone, this is ZerocreationGame.
Today, we would like to share some important news regarding The Hungry Lamb: Traveling in the Late Ming Dynasty.
First, an update on the game’s achievements and the progress of its manga adaptation.
As a visual novel set in the late Ming Dynasty, the game has officially surpassed 1.4 million copies sold worldwide, with over 110,000 copies sold overseas.
We are deeply grateful for the incredible support from every single player!
Building on this success, the official manga adaptation, titled飢えた子羊, will soon begin serialization in the renowned Japanese manga magazine, Monthly Comp Ace. A tankobon (standalone book) release is also planned for the future.
The manga's main storyline will remain faithful to the original game while featuring exclusive optimizations in dialogue and character presentation. Leveraging the unique expressive power of the manga medium, readers will experience even richer facial expressions and more intricate action details.
We hope you will experience and enjoy it.
Second, our plans for IP expansion.
We are currently in in-depth discussions with multiple partners regarding animation, film, and television adaptations for The Hungry Lamb.
Our original intention remains unchanged: to allow more players worldwide to experience the charm of Chinese history and culture, to spread the "Xia" spirit (chivalry) inherent in our story, and to ensure that the captivating character of Man Sui is known by people across the globe. This is also the direction we continue to strive toward.
Lastly, news regarding our latest work, The Weeping Swan: Ten Days of the City's Fall.
Cumulative sales for The Weeping Swan have already surpassed 150,000 copies across all platforms worldwide.
Next, we will officially release the The Weeping Swan: Ten Days of the City's Fall Artbook. This collection will compile design insights from our art team, publicly revealing a vast number of sketches and creative reflections for the first time.
Furthermore, a physical novel for The Weeping Swan has entered the planning phase.
Unlike the Hungry Lamb adaptation, the Weeping Swan novel will feature more extensive creative reinterpretations while keeping the world-building and character foundations intact.
We maintain an open and proactive attitude toward future IP adaptations for The Weeping Swan and sincerely hope to see this work presented in new and diverse forms.
Please stay tuned!
