Main Updates for Otome Game Series "1000 Princes":
1. "LingTian1" Changed to Static Images
Both the demo and full versions of the game originally featured short dynamic video clips. However, due to each clip being under 1 second and looping repeatedly, they caused severe screen jitter, leading to poor visual feedback from players. As a result, all 1,050 MP4-format video clips in "LingTian1" have been converted into static images.
Originally, the video length, frame rate, and size were deliberately reduced to meet Google Play's AAB size limit. This compromise negatively affected visual quality. Moving forward, I will focus on enhancing the quality of static images in the game.
What's the Difference Between "LingTian1" Demo and the "LingTian" Clips in "1000 Princes"?
Both versions allow players to experience part of the gameplay. The "LingTian1" demo provides a continuous portion of the game—from Chapter 1 to Chapter X—with complete story progression, branching options, and full functionality. On the other hand, the "LingTian1" clips in the shared route of "1000 Princes" feature disconnected romantic scenes from the game. These clips are not continuous, and option buttons do not display branching storylines.
2. Icon Update
To make games easier to identify, I've updated the icons. For example, "LingTian1" now features a solo portrait of the prince. His name, such as "LingTian", is displayed at the bottom of the icon in the game's main UI color. The top right corner features a sequence tag like "1". If it's a demo version, a green diagonal ribbon appears on the top left.
The "1000 Princes" game, which serves as the shared storyline for all the princes and the player, has a group photo icon featuring multiple princes. The bottom label reads "1000 + Crown", and the background is rainbow-colored, representing the union of all princes. The top right corner includes a rainbow sequence tag. Demo versions have a green ribbon on the top left.
3. Foreign Language Voiceovers
In the "Prince List" section of "1000 Princes", five foreign princes now speak their native languages instead of the previously included placeholder voiceovers.
Set in a post-World War III world where a new global order has emerged, nations like Rabbit Country, Chicken Country, Fish Country, Turtle Country, and Dragon Country have formed. Each country has its own official language, and the princes speak their native tongues.
- Prince Zachary of Rabbit Country speaks English. This nation is a financial power based on the cryptocurrency "BunnyCoin".
- Prince YuuJin of Fish Country speaks Japanese. The country is known for its intelligent marine life.
- Prince Tao of Turtle Country speaks Thai. The nation is an island shaped like a turtle.
- Prince LeeRea of Chicken Country speaks Korean. The country is run by a fried chicken conglomerate.
- Prince WeiLong of Dragon Country speaks Chinese. The nation features dragons curled within dragon valleys.
The otome game "1000 Princes" will soon launch a new educational series titled "Learn Languages with 1000 Princes" on Google Play Books. More princes speaking other languages will be added in the future. Stay tuned!
