Hello, this is runinzem, in charge for art and game design for this game. I would like to share our update plans for August.
This month, we have two updates scheduled: August 17 (v0.7.0) and August 31 (v0.8.0). The focus of these updates will be on adding new content and new methods for power-ups.
Update 0.7.0 (Scheduled for 2024-08-17)
- A new system, "Artifacts," will be introduced.
(This is concept art; some details may change in the actual game update.)
Artifacts are equipment items that can be equipped by units. They can be obtained from monster drops or purchased with Artifact Fragments. Equipping artifacts will grant your units special abilities and additional stats. Units equipped with fitting artifacts will be able to perform much more powerfully than before.
Artifacts come in various rarities, including "Common," "Epic," and "Unique." Only the Common and Epic grades will be released initially.
- A new difficulty level, "EXTREME," will be added.
(This is concept art; some details may change in the actual game update.)
The "EXTREME" difficulty will feature even stronger monsters than the current HARD mode, along with a new "Disaster" system. Disasters are randomly assigned each game and will make gameplay more varied challenges and gameplay variables.
Update 0.8.0 (Scheduled for 2024-08-31)
- A new unit, "Shirakami Fubuki," will be added. Fubuki is an nuking range-attacker unit capable of dealing massive damage over a short period. She can enter "Transformation Mode" using a gauge that builds up over time, and in this transformed state, she will deal even greater damage. However, if the gauge is mismanaged, there will be associated risks.
- A new content, "Infinite Mode," will be introduced. Unlike the regular mode, which ends at Stage 5, "Infinite Mode" will allow you to play through endless stages. Players will have the opportunity to choose from various ability cards for their units at specific intervals, and the goal is to survive as many rounds as possible against the endless waves of enemies.
