Korean studio D-ZARD is currently developing a new entry in the Princess Maker series under a licensing agreement with intellectual property owner YONAGO GAINAX, the company announced. Platforms and a release date were not announced.

Get the first details below.
About the Series
The Princess Maker series, which was wildly popular in the 90s, helped define and popularize the raising simulation genre. The first game in the series was released by GAINAX on PC in 1991 and was a global hit, eventually spawning four sequels.
Meet Karen, the Daughter
The main character of the new game is Karen, whom many fans have rooted for to get her own game. Players will be able to see her appearance change as she grows up.

—Karen, Age 10
—Karen, Age 11
—Karen, Age 12
—Karen, Age 17
New and Returning Characters
The popular Butler character Cube will also make a return, assisting the player in managing the daughter’s schedule and raising her.
—Returning Character Cube: “You seem to be in a good mood today, milady.”
In addition to these returning characters, the game will also feature charming new NPCs designed by D-ZARD, who will play various roles in the daughter’s growth.
—New NPC Chef: “There’s a dish I want to make for you, before the season changes.”
For Long-Time Fans and Newcomers Alike
The new game is being developed to be faithful to the series’ roots, with a fairytale-like atmosphere and various raising simulation elements. In particular, the game will maintain the tradition of the daughter’s appearance changing as she ages, while adding Live2D animation to the character’s poses to raise the bar even further.

“We want to make a game that can meet the expectations of the fans who have been waiting a long time for a new Princess Maker game. We are doing our best to make a quality game that will appeal to both long-time fans and newcomers alike,” said D-ZARD CEO Dong-hyun Kim.
I've been playing planet zoo a lot since its release on console and I'm really happy with how my builds so far have turned out! Hered a nice shot of my Moose and Beaver exhibit (*^ー^)ノ♪
The path and buildings surrounding it are still being built, but there's a waterfall in the back and a glass, underwater viewing section down the ramp to the left there ^^
It's real pretty in the snow too!
This game is incredible compared to where I began years ago on Zoo Tycoon XD I'll do a proper tour once this area is all finished up! (⌒‐⌒)

Popping in to share this indie game I highly recommend! And it's currently 75% off on Steam, though it's available on various platforms.
The artwork in this game is phenomenal, from the character design to the sky and landscape backdrops.
The characters and the stories were written so well that they feel like real people (of which some of them were based off).
I cried many times and was left in awe.
You may enjoy this game if you like: storylines about difficult topics, farm simulation gameplay with platforming elements, and beautifully-illustrated art.
