[EN]SHOWTIMExMONSTERS 2 Dev Letter [vol.59]

Hello, I'm Satoh.

The heat is still on, but it is starting to feel cooler as the sun goes down.

I can't help but feel that summer is over and fall is approaching.

The work on the major update is now in its final stages, and I am doing my best to deliver it to you all.

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

The final element of the update, the special battles, has also been successfully completed.

The three special battles in the previous version of the game were more difficult versions of existing battles,

but this special battle was created from scratch, with new illustrations of the bosses.

It took a long time to create because I incorporated various gimmicks and made it elaborate,

but I was able to create something that required the ability to deal with various situations within a single battle.

Since this battle was designed for the most experienced players who had already passed the first special battle,

I have completed the battle with the aim of creating a solid and responsive battle that will not be half-hearted.

And with the help of the translators, I have completed the English and Chinese translations of the updated portions.

I am now doing final checks on the additional elements while they are checking the in-game translations.

Since there are many additional elements this time, I spend a lot of time checking each of them to make sure there are no mistakes or bugs in the settings.

To summarize again the main elements of 1.10

*Addition of defeat scenes, master-disciple scenes, and dream scenes

*Addition of a new special battles

*Addition of Ultimate difficulty level

*Addition of temporary save function in Challenge Mode .

*Addition of symbol monsters for shortcuts in the labyrinth after the second run.

*Balance adjustment of many monsters and skills

More than 200 new CGs will be added (including variations). This may be the largest number of new CGs including the updates of the previous game.

This time, I have prepared a master-disciple illustration and a special illustration for you.

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

This is a master-disciple illustration of Reo and Watt.

It's been quite a while since I made a scene for Watt.

They are both tool-lovers and curious, so look forward to seeing what the scene will be like.

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

This time, as part of the Early Autumn Night Special 2024,

I have drawn a special illustration for all the supporters.

This is Firefly from the forest monsters.

He is the monster that makes the forest glow with lights at night.

Firefly is designed to resemble a butler's tailcoat, based on the image of long, thin, black firefly wings.

To match this image, the lights on the back also have a gothic pattern.

It is also unique in that he wears string underwear so as not to interfere with his own lights.

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

That's all for this letter.

I'll post vol.60 on around 2024/10/20.

I am in the final stages of working on the update and will be able to get it to you soon.

I can't give you an exact date yet, but I hope to have it released by the time I post the next letter.

I hope you enjoy this first major update that I have been working on for a long time so far this year.
