Launch preparation

Anime Paradox reached 20,000+ concurrent players at its January 2026 launch, following eight months of work with Lunmei. The Discord community reached 60,000 members around launch.

Lunmei built the game. Melo supported community development, marketing coordination and launch preparation. Community work began months before release, while creator outreach and campaigns followed development milestones.

Coordinating the release

Starting early gave the team time to build a community and coordinate announcements with the game's readiness. The launch combined the developer's production work with an established audience and a coordinated marketing schedule.
