[EN]SHOWTIMExMONSTERS 2 Dev Letter [vol.25]

Hello, I'm Satoh.

Thank you for your continued support. I am always grateful for your support.

It's only a little over a month left in this year and the cold weather is getting stronger in Japan.

We were in the midst of the Corona disaster again last year, but I am very happy that I am able to continue my work steadily this year too.

I am determined to keep up this pace until the completion of the project.

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

I have finished working on the fourth stratum of the game.

Both the map and the monsters had a theme that was not present in the previous game, but I feel that I was able to create a unique and satisfying product.

Just like the 4th stratum of the previous game, it became a challenging stratum to conquer.

I hope you will enjoy this dungeon with a new world view.

The next step is to start designing the monsters for the 5th layer,

but I need to produce the costumes, decorations, and images for the underwear vending machine at some point,

and this time I decided to take some time to complete the underwear vending machine.

In vol.14, I introduced the undies vending machine of this game,

and this time I decided to draw the buttocks part on the image displayed in it.

The number of types has also increased, with a total of over 180 types of undies being available.

As a result, creating the images was a bit of a difficult task, but I feel that I am satisfied with the result.

The images are designed to be enjoyed as a kind of underwear catalog, so that you can feel the appeal of each underwear.

This time, I would like to introduce a new mini-game and one new monster.

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

This is a mini-game called "Bouncing Slime" that can be played in the game.

It's an undressing breakout game based on a slime motif,

and I asked the programmer to build it from scratch.

Move the paddle below to reflect the ball and melt the clothes in the area you hit.

The remaining clothes are shown as a percentage in the gauge on the left.

When you catch items falling from above, you can get various effects.

The items that appear vary from stage to stage, and each stage offers a different play experience.

When a certain percentage of clothes are destroyed, the game moves on to the next phase.

In this mini-game, you don't only end up destroying the clothes, but you can also destroy the underwear.

Then, after breaking the underwear, comes the final phase.

When you hit the sensitive area with the ball, you will accumulate the pleasure gauge, and when it reaches 100%, the game will be cleared with a special effect.

This is something that you won't find in an ordinary breakout game.

When you clear a stage, you will be able to play the next stage.

It is a mini-game that is very much like an r-18 game, where you can enjoy the naughty appearance of the monsters.

Thanks to the programmer, I was able to create something very unique,

and I hope you enjoy it as a break from dungeon crawling.

This is a new monster, Doctor Bot.

It is one of the mechanical monsters and has many medical mechanisms.

It is a healer-type monster that is good at healing.

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

This time, with sincere gratitude for you, supporters,

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

This is Ice Sword from Ice Monsters.

It's a refreshing cool monster perfect for the cold winter.

This monster, like Mufflers, was a monster that I had been imagining since the early days of the production of SxM 1.

He manipulates ice with a magic rune carved into its left arm, and fights by creating a number of ice swords.

It' s a cool and handsome character, which is rare among the many cute designs.

His performance in the game is also unique, and although it was difficult to implement,

I was able to make it interesting, and in that sense, he is a character that I am very attached to.

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

That's all for this letter.

I'll post vol.26 on around 2021/12/20.

There are only a few more months left in this year, but I will continue to work on the game, taking care of my health and not letting my guard down.

I hope you will all take care of yourselves.
