    "In late 2018, I co-founded PH3 games, and today we can finally announce our first two large-scale projects! The first project is a major update for Ys VIII. It greatly improves graphical quality options, increases performance stability, improves mouse/keyboard controls, fixes several bugs, and has an experimental bonus feature that I don't think anyone expected (including people involved with the project!): local coop!"
