Persona 5 Euphoria Newsletter #1 (Patreon)

HAPPY 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO GOLDEN GOOSE GAMES! This would not be possible without everybody's support and kind words!

Story/General Flow:

Persona 5 Euphoria will follow a similar style to Persona 4 Rise Gaiden, as it will be a visual novel with a Free Time component. Updates will be based on chapter-based progression, with the game and confidants opening up as you advance through the game. There will be day/night events and a split between Social Stats and Confidant Affection.

Confirmed Confidants: Ryuji Sakamoto, Ann Takamaki, Yusuke Kitagawa, Makoto Niijima, Futaba Sakura, Haru Okumura, Akechi Goro, Sumire Yoshizawa, Sadayo Kawakami, Tae Takemi, Sae Niijima, Hifumi Togo (12+ Confidants)

Character Models

The majority of the cards are made by Neighzborr, a creator who has been creating many great Koikatsu Persona models. One of the challenges with making a game like this is the models, and I am glad to find some that will match the quality of this game.

Maps

As you noticed for the past months, I've been uploading Koikatsu maps from 3d models I've found on Deviantart. Just like with P4RG, I plan on importing maps from the actual game into my game (arr arr matey). If successful, I will upload those maps here for everyone to use in Koikatsu.

v0.1 Alpha Preview (From February 2025)

From the February 2025 build. For those who haven't played the demo, this is essentially what the dialogue will look like.

Features

Features for this game are still being decided. Since P4RG is almost complete, I would like your input on what P5E could look like. Deciding whether confidants should be a slow-burn or how involved the original Phantom Thieves should be can be decided by all of you.

P5E Timeline

P5E is still in early development, as I will start to seriously work on it after P4RG's v1.0 release. The story is already loosely finished, though the exact chapter-by-chapter progression is still in progress. The Spring 2026 release date is for the official v0.1 release, which will be the Prologue chapter. It will take a pretty hefty time setting up the screens, sprites, audio, and scripts, so I will keep the community updated as I work on the game.

If you would like to contribute to writing Confidants' storylines or making P5E suggestions, become a Diamond Member! Since there are many characters in the game, it's better to seek help from the community for interesting storylines.

Thanks for supporting me, as always!
