On October 25, Mages held a live stream event, with Takanori Nishikawa and Chiyomaru Shikura announcing a school project for training pet doll creators. That was by far the most surprising reveal on the event, ahead of the Steins;Gate sequel, and the new details for Steins;Gate Zero Elite. and Anonymous;Code. Takanori Nishikawa is also now a special advisor to Mages, helping with all projects.In Japan, the pet service market is expanding, including making dolls to help owners suffering from mental illnesses such as depression due to the loss of their pet. The pet doll making school by Mages will train new creators to make these kind of dolls. Moreover, this is also to help those who wish to have pets but can't take care of them. This is a growing occurrence in Japan with the aging population and decreasing birthrate.The project was born through Chiyomaru Shikura and Takanori Nishikawa sharing their experiences with their pets. Chiyomaru Shikura had a cat which passed away a few years ago, while Takanori Nishikawa has an elderly dog. Takanori Nishikawa explained on the stream, and later on Twitter, they want to help pet owners with similar experiences, but also prevent cases where people buy pets, can't take care of them, and abandon them.

Top creators of the doll making industry will be teaching at the school through online classes. If there is enough demand, the school will also consider developing and selling kits for doll production, and create a space where the lecturers will be able to meet with the students to teach them directly.

Chiyomaru Shikura and Takanoshi Nishikawa aka T.M. Revolution have been working together for years now on B-Project. It's a male idol franchise by Mages started in 2015, and produced by Nishikawa. B.Project already got a rhythm game, multiple anime and stage play adaptations, and tons of CD releases.
