[EN]SHOWTIMExMONSTERS 2 Dev Letter [vol.38]

Hello, I'm Satoh.

In Japan, it suddenly became cold as soon as December arrived.

The full-blown winter cold makes me feel that the end of the year is approaching, and I realize how fast time flies and how lonely it is.

As I approach the end of the year for the third time since the start of production, I am very happy that I have been able to continue to produce steadily up to this point and that you have continued to support me.

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

I have completed the foundation from the start of the game to the ending, and during the past month I have been working on event scenes and boss battles for the second and subsequent playthroughs.

The completion of that too is in sight, and I plan to start working on the extra dungeon next.

This time, the storyline is a bit more elaborate than in the former game, as it completes the story that began in the previous game.

Since it is a dungeon RPG, I want to keep the story from being too much, but still allow people to enjoy it at key points.

Of course, the characters from the former game will also appear, so those who have played the former game will enjoy it with even greater affection.

In the extra dungeon, new extra monsters will appear in addition to the three demons that appeared in the previous game,

and I hope to make it possible to enjoy battles with a wider variety of powerful enemies.

Then, when the extra classes are ready, the whole thing will finally begin to be completed in earnest.

In this letter, I would like to introduce two new monsters.

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

This is one of the new monsters, Merman Performer.

He is one of the merman monsters I introduced previously and is a pirate performer who is good at playing on a musical instrument.

It is a healer that heals and strengthens allies with healing tones.

Here is another one of the new monsters, Summer Orc.

This new orc monster has an unusual design, reminiscent of a beach stand.

It is a monster that uses cold shaved ice and hot snacks, and fights with fire and ice elements.

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

This time, with sincere gratitude for you, supporters,

I drew a "Frozen Winter Special"-themed special illustration for you.

This is Blue Dragon from dragon monsters.

It is the perfect monster for the severe cold weather.

Blue Dragon is a very ferocious monster that is difficult to make effective as a companion.

Like the Red Dragon, which sleeps at will,

the Blue Dragon is powerful but never at the will of its tamer, which is a characteristic of dragon monsters.

Because they are difficult to handle, it will be a pleasure to see them in effective use.

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

That's all for this letter.

I'll post vol.39 on around 2023/1/20.

As for the completion date, it is difficult to predict due to the sheer volume of work required,

so I have kept the date undecided, but if the pace continues smoothly, you should be able to play the completed game in the first half of next year.

Next year will be the 6th anniversary of the release of the first work. I am sorry you have had to wait so long,

but I will continue to work hard to complete the work without letting up so that you will think it is a good piece of work for that reason.

Thank you very much for your support this past year.

Winter is now in full swing. Please take good care of yourself and enjoy the end of the year.
