[EN]SHOWTIMExMONSTERS 2 Dev Letter [vol.44] (Pixiv Fanbox)

Hello, I'm Satoh.

It is the rainy season in Japan, and it is very humid.

The temperature is increasing and full-blown summer is coming.

I could not launch the game in the first half of this year, but I will do my best to beat the heat so that I can complete the product as soon as possible.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Recently, I have been drawing pictures for a mini-game and continuing to check for bugs in preparation for test play.

Since I plan to release the game with Japanese, English, and Chinese languages included at the same time,

I need to make sure that the game works properly when switching between the languages before test play.

Therefore, I had to repeatedly check the game's operation and ask the programmer to fix any issues that I found.

It took longer than I had imagined because there were so many parts that needed to be checked,

but recently I was able to start test play with a small group of people.

I am getting feedback from the test-players and adjusting the content, while I myself continue to draw pictures for the mini-games.

I am working hard with the help of the programmer, translators, and test players so that many people can enjoy the game.

In this letter, I would like to introduce new partner costumes and one new monster.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

These costumes are for the partner and the protagonist.

It is a festival happi set that was also worn by the main character and Ast in the former game,

this time, I made it possible for partners to wear it as a costume.

This is one of the new monsters, Gnome.

He is a small earth fairy and a healer type monster who is good at healing magic.

He carries a bag full of nuts and can attack by throwing acorns.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

This time, with sincere gratitude for you, supporters,

I drew a "Early Summer Powerful Special"-themed special illustration for you.

From the angelic monsters, this is Power.

As the name suggests, it is a monster that fights with its strong body, which is rare among angels.

The angel monsters are not designed in a medieval style, but rather with a strong sense of science fiction.

When considering several variations, I thought it would be more interesting to design them in a fantasy science fiction style.

Power looks like he fights by shooting his mechanical knuckles.

The mechanical wings of the angels may look the same, but each has a slightly different design.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

That's all for this letter.

I'll post vol.44 on around 2023/7/20.

As small-scale test play begins and people other than myself are playing the game,

I realize that I am finally getting close to completion.

There is still a lot of work that needs to be done, and of course I have to make adjustments and corrections in response to feedback,

so I will not let up and will work hard to complete the game.

Hot summer is approaching. I hope everyone will take it easy and stay healthy.
