Hello everyone!
This is Saori UTSUMI, the all-rounder at Birdkin Studio, currently working on Curry Princess GOLD.
It's already June—time flies! Here's a quick update on our development progress:
🎮 Current Progress
- **Story Mode**: The four new stages created last month are now in the tuning and balancing phase.
- **How to Play Guide**: Content is about 90% complete, localization is at 40%, and image assets are at 10%.
Throughout May, we focused on debugging the event demo build and working on new stage designs.
🛠 How We Build a Stage
Here’s a general flow of how we create a new stage:
1. Start with a rough sketch and idea for the stage structure
2. Design the background and enemy visuals
3. Implement them into the stage
4. Estimate what animations and sound effects are needed
5. Create sound effects (realistic ones are handled by Hideaki)
6. Draw animations
7. Adjust enemy scripts
8. Break down enemy AI logic into tasks
9. Implement enemy behavior and attacks
Each stage also includes an intro scene and a clear scene, which we build as we go.
By the way, I'm personally handling all of the implementation work! Hideaki helps out with the sound effects I’m not so good at—especially the realistic ones—and that’s been a huge help.
That's it for now!
Thanks for following our development. We’re working hard to bring **Curry Princess GOLD** to life, so please stay tuned and keep supporting us!
