Eiyuden Chronicle January 2024 Community Update

JANUARY UPDATE 2024

Hey there, heroes!

Happy New Year! We're finally into 2024 and ever-closer to the Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes release!

To kick off the new year, we have some special messages from the team and another little sneak peak to whet your appetite for things to come!

DEVELOPER UPDATE

MURAYAMA
Rabbit and Bear Studio representation, Yoshitaka Murayama, here.
This is the year that our beloved Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is released.

What was still just a dream for us at the time of the 2020 Kickstarter campaign is now becoming a reality.

Please look forward to it.

KAWANO
Happy New Year for 2024!
Character Design Lead, Kawano here.
Here’s to the year to come.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is finally releasing this year.
There’s just a little longer to wait.

And since this is the year of the dragon, I drew a picture of Nowa riding a dragon to be used in our new years greetings.



This dragon…can be ridden in the game!
But I’ll leave that Komuta D’s Sneak Peek to reveal more!

Since I’m already spilling the beans, then I’ll reveal that the character I drew for the 2021 spring greetings will also appear in the game! Please keep an eye out for them.



Until next time!

MURAKAMI
Happy New Year!

Thank you for your tremendous support last year.
With the release date set and production in its final stages, we have been busier than ever this past year with trailer production, events, backer responses, etc., but thanks to your warmth and support, we have managed to get through it.
Again, thank you very much!

Finally, this year will be the release of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes.
The Japanese version has already entered the phase for final bug checks and fixes, and all that remains is to work with 505 Games to get it localized and platform-ready.

But now that you mention it, checking and adjusting RPGs is a lot of work... It is really hard work, especially for Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, because it has so many elements, not to mention platform developments and localization support. Unexpected issues occur every day.

The days continue to pass by, but we are definitely moving toward completion.

Once the game is somewhat stable we will be able to provide beta access to all backers, so please be patient!

Although there are only a few days left insofar as production, we will continue to do our utmost and we look forward to your continued support.

Murakami J

KOMUTA
Happy New Year everyone!
Komunichi-wa, Komuban-wa, it's director Komuta!

The year 2023 was a rager.
As we announced the release date last fall, this year will finally see the release of the Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes!

As for as development is concerned, the project has entered bug-checking, with the team working together despite being almost crushed by the volume like we'd joked about at TGS.

Bugs can be as small as a simple typo or as large as something that stops the player from progressing at all, and the number of supported languages and platforms makes the battle against bugs as fierce as a scene out of Starship Troopers.
Some problems can be fixed easily while others require emergency meetings, so we are always on our toes.

Every day, however, we are definitely nearing completion, so please wait just a little longer!

Last but not least, our first Komuta D's Sneak Peek of the year! Since it is the Year of the Dragon, I will show you the heroic combo of Nowa and his partner Chandra.

Thank you all for your continued support!

Eiyuden Chronicle December 2023 Community Update

Hey there, Heroes!

The end of 2023 is nearing and that means... a new year and more importantly the year Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is released to the masses. We have certainly had our ups and downs but continue to work on making the best game possible. We know it's still a few months away so if you are looking for something to play over the Christmas break you can always pick up Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising and get an introduction to some of the key characters (and wield a giant sword as a kangaroo!)

We wish you and yours the happiest of holidays!

Update Schedule:
While we largely kept to the last Wednesday of every month up until recently, platform selections and other logistical updates knocked us off track a bit. Due to year end holidays the next update will be January 10th. From there we'll return to our regular end-of-month updates straight up until launch.



Murayama’s Monthly Update
It's currently all hands on deck as we work through bug fixing.

Bug checking and bug fixing is a heavy task in any game, but RPGs are especially buggy. The scenario progression isn't so straightforward with some players going different places in the middle of the game, or even running backwards if they want. Because you have to deal with such cases, you need a lot of backup events that many players will never see.

Not only that, the Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes biography is packed with a huge number of characters, each with their own battle and war scenario settings.
Not forgetting all the facilities available in the hub town, each of which needs to be checked too.

It's no surprise then why the number of bug check reports is enormous.

In the past, these reports were written out by hand and just looking at them piled up inches high would make me feel pretty hopeless. These reports are conducted online now, but it's still not much different in terms of psychological damage given the large number of pages of items in each report.

But once all these struggles are over, the game will be delivered to you all.

Once upon a time, I got a question from a player.
"The stairs to the second floor of the inn's blocked by a barrel. How are you supposed to get to the second floor?" they asked.

I'm sorry. The upstairs was actually deleted because a lack of memory made it too buggy, so we put a barrel there to seal it off.

Director Komuta’s Sneak Peek
Komunichi-wa. Komuban-wa. Director Komuta here.
Development is nearing its climax, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have some in-development sneak peeks to share!

Welcome to snow-covered Skriss Village, a location Nowa and his friends will visit during their adventure.



What on earth do you think happened to this village?



And where do you think frozen Nowa and chums are sliding off to?

Since this is the month of Happy Holidays, we wanted to show off a village and dungeon that felt perfect for the winter season.

Well, everyone, I hope you have a wonderful holiday!

I’ll be sure to show you more glimpses in the next issue, so please look forward to it!
