Hi, this is the development team of 213°F.
As we bring you the development of TURUGIHIME..., we will introduce the production process before the design of our main character, TSURU-chan (temporary), is completed in two parts!
The main character of TSURUGIHIME, she is a genius, one of a kind in 1,000 years, who has the talent to become the greatest Tsurugi Master of all time. But she is still only level 1.
Along with this concept, we began by compiling materials on what kind of character TSURU-chan (temporary) would be. For us, we asked KUROBOSHI KOUHAKU to design the character with as much freedom as possible, so while we told him what was important for the game, we did not ask him to draw a specific picture.
(Tsurugi Master...?)
Boom!
This is how many ideas for the TSURU-chan (temporary) ... were born from KUROBOSHI KOUHAKU. Some of the elements remain in the current TSURU-chan (temporary), but the impression is completely different! All of them have their own charms and are cute, and if we had my way, we would make use of all of them ..., but only one of them can be adopted as the main character. We narrowed it down to one proposal from various angles, including the sense of heroism, balance with the other characters, and whether it met the requirements of the game.
After narrowing it down, the result is this rough sketch! As you can see from a comparison with the current TSURU-chan (temporary) introduced in Developer's Note #1, there are still many differences in details, but the general direction of the project has been finalized.
(I don't wear clothes anymore because it gets hot and my clothes are caked on. ...?)
We will show you how it looks from here to completion in the next part!
Be sure to follow along and stay tuned for the next Developer's Note!
And please, add to your Wishlist!
Thanks for reading all the way to the end!
