[Dev Note] Part-15 : Thailand Game Show Review & 'VS Mode' Introduction

[ Intro ]
Hello everyone, I am Kwon Dae Ho, the Executive Producer.

As announced earlier, Black Stigma participated in the Thailand Game Show from October 18th to October 20th. We aimed to showcase the unique PvP systems of Black Stigma to Thai gamers.
Thanks to your support, Black Stigma received great interest from Thai gamers. Our booth was consistently filled with players eager to experience PvP, and we even had a waiting line for most of the event!
[ New Game Mode: VS Mode ]

During the show, we introduced a new PvP mode, ‘VS Mode.’
In VS Mode, two players fight 1 vs 1, with the focus on providing a fast-paced, varied battle experience for a smaller player count.

Players on each side can choose up to three Masters to battle with.
At the start of each round, players control their chosen Masters in sequence. The battle concludes when the time limit is reached or when all three Masters on one side are defeated.

This mode offers a casual PvP experience that plays out in a short time frame, allowing players to enjoy the versatility of different Masters. Each Master has unique active skills, creating a dynamic, tag-match experience.

Many players who tried the mode at our booth said they enjoyed the intense VS matches and the quick, varied gameplay in rounds that lasted about five minutes. Thanks to such positive feedback, we saw a high level of interest in Black Stigma throughout the event.

[ Future Development Plans, Including VS Mode ]
Based on the enthusiastic response to VS Mode at the Thailand Game Show, we are now planning to include VS Mode as a regular feature for early access. To achieve this, we will be refining and perfecting VS Mode in the coming months.
Additionally, as shown in photos from the event, we are enhancing the game’s visual quality with improved graphics and UI elements. More updates on these visual improvements will be provided in upcoming dev notes.
Thank you for your continued support.
Producer, Kwon Dae Ho
