[EN]SHOWTIMExMONSTERS 2 Dev Letter [vol.9]

Hello, I'm Satoh.

Thank you very much for your continuous support. I'm very happy with it.

It becomes very hot these days in Japan. It seems that the summer begins in earnest.

I'll keep working on the game while taking care of my health so as not to be beaten by the heat.

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

These days, I'm drawing new monsters while doing test playing for balancing.

As it's important to find bugs as early as possible, I'm testing it with many play styles.

After that, I'll have to work on the maps of the second stratum.

As mapping and level design will directly affect the fun of the game,

I always beat my brain out when I work on them.

I hope you enjoy variety rich dungeons as with the former one.

In addition to that, I was working on the new game function which is not about battle.

I'll introduce you to that and one of the new monsters in this letter.

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

The new game function is "Decoration" equipments.

This one is for enjoying dress up the protagonist as with the costumes and the underwears.

(As the game in still in WIP, it hasnt's translated yet)

"Deco/Head" and "Deco/Body" will be added to the equipment slot. (only for the protagonist)

Now he can equip decorations to his head and back.

Glasses, Horns, Hats, Hairs for head, Tails, Wings, Cloaks for back mainly.

Monster motif decorations like them will be added too.

As with the costumes and the undies, decorations will not be reflected in the event scenes.

Though, they will be in the other scenes like status screen, talking screen.

Of course, they will be reflected in the battle and also Linkage state.

With improved customization of the costume, I hope you can enjoy your own dress up.

This is "Merman Cannoneer", one of the new monsters.

He is a unique monster that attacks with a cannon, just like a pirate.

The mermans' features include fish ears, a marine's uniform, and tanning.

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

This time, with sincere gratitude for you, supporters,

I drew a "Summer is in full swing"-themed special illustration for you.

Michael from the angel monsters.

He will be perfect for hot summer.

As with Gabriel, he has his own big wing as the feature of the arch angels.

If you change "underwear" setting in config with high affinity, they will cover their private parts in a unique way.

I put that flavor in this picture.

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

That's all for this letter.

I'll post vol.10 on around 2020/8/20.

The world still keeps the precarious situation and we still have to endure.

And the hot summer begins. Please take care of yourself.

Though I'm a little sorry I always say the same thing,

I'm working on the game, hoping that you will enjoy the completed one.
