Hello again, Seikyuians!
Early Access Launch is only 2 days away and we can't wait to see you adventuring in Seikyu! As you can imagine we’re very busy getting the town ready (such as balancing and bug testing), and Mayor Yui Oda is eagerly awaiting your arrival so she can guide you through your first day.
As we mentioned in our previous Developer Diaries, we have now released a Road Map to show you what’s coming beyond Early Access Launch!
Right, on with the developer diaries as we have some new things to share with you! (づ ◕‿◕ )づ
🎮Mika’s Portraits & Expressions
With Major Content Update 1.0 you’ll be able to open Seikyu’s very own Hot Springs, where you will be greeted by the lovely Mika Fukuhara; a water-loving Yokai. Our very talented artists are making great progress on her portraits. Her normal expression should elude a bit to her interests & hobbies; as it did with her room sneak peek we showed in Developer Diaries #1.
Along with the mystery surrounding her age, not much is known about her Yokai form... Perhaps something for you to find out in the future? (-‿◦☀)
🏡A little bit of decorating
We’re delighted to give you another peek into a villager's home (Seabert kindly asked for permission first) so here’s a peek into adding personalised effects and furniture to Mayor Yui Oda’s home! Making these homes involves developing both setup and lighting as well as making sure there’s a range of appropriate furniture to fit the personality that inhabits the space.
As an avid baker it is to no one's surprise that Yui’s home is equipped with baking equipment and knick knacks to support her dreams of showcasing her deliciously baked goods on television. We believe in your dream Yui! 🍰
🐦🔥 Mystery Romanceable Male NPC
You’ve had plenty of updates about this mystery male NPC and here’s more to satiate some of your curiosity. He’s got a beautiful set of clothes, deep purple eyes and a whole lot more to him than meets the eye... 👀
🩷Enjoy Tales of Seikyu!
We hope you are excited to experience what Seikyu has to offer this week. Whether that be adventuring the beautiful hillsides, exploring the mysterious fox ruins, getting to know the village and its yokai residents, romancing the locals, exploring your yokai forms, farming or decorating your farmhouse - we truly hope that you find your place of happiness in Tales of Seikyu.
