Happy New Year!
First of all, please take a look at the New Year illustration for 2022.
This year is the Year of the Tiger in Japan, so I drew Raiju wearing a tiger patterned leather.
Last year, I was so busy working on SHOWTIMExMONSTERS2 that I couldn't post my work out in the open.
This year, I'd like to post a brief status report and a New Year's greeting here as in the previous year.
Currently, SHOWTIMExMONSTERS2 has been completed up to the fourth stratum, and I've been gradually accumulating images for the underwear vending machine in the meantime.
Following the new system, the mini-games are being completed one by one with the help of the programmer.
I'm continuing to work on the game with the aim of making it more attractive and satisfying.
I'm currently working on the monsters for the fifth stratum, and I've already drawn more than half of them, bringing the total number of new monsters I've drawn so far to nearly 90.
It looks like the game will eventually have around 200 monsters, including those from the previous game.
I have been working steadily on the project and have been able to get much closer to completion in the past year.
This year, I would like to brace myself for the final stages of production so that I can complete it this year.
(I'm publishing a monthly development letter to my supporters, which includes images of new monsters and other contents.
A special version of L2D is also available as a bonus for the supporters, so please support me if you are interested.)
The world is still in chaos as it was last year and the year before, and recently a new type of mutation has been found again, with no end in sight,
but I sincerely hope that this year will be a great one for you and for me.
I wish you all the best for this year!
