[h2]About The Arrogant Kaiju Princess and Her Pet Detective[/h2]
Greetings, I am Nadrums, the producer of Arrogant Kaiju Princess and Her Pet Detective.
This is a spin-off of Kaiju Princess, and the idea of the Pet Detective came from Detective Conan and The Familiar of Zero.
Daigneux, the female lead, is extremely powerful in combat, and has the ability to create and control mighty kaijus. Currently she really is the most powerful being in the Kaiju Universe, but she denies it despite being arrogant.
From the players’ perspective, why would someone so powerful go through the trouble of kidnapping a weak Earthling to conquer a planet? And what’s the deal with the Mission from the Mother Star?
Daigneux might be extremely overpowered, but she is not omnipotent. Her biggest weakness is her arrogance.
The male lead is just an ordinary modern Earthling, but his acute observations and meticulous mind make up for what Daigneux lacks. Her conquests require careful planning and execution, like finding a pearl in an ant colony without hurting the ants. She doesn’t have what it takes for such careful work.
Her immense power and her tendency to think linearly make her incapable of handling things with finesse, and she will basically destroy the ant colony as soon as she reaches out.
Her arrogance is also a factor (well, she is the arrogant princess after all). She finds it filthy and disgusting, and not something appropriate for a princess like her. Even if she could do it, she would not be willing to.
(She’s also very clumsy and silly, and that is why the male lead is able to manipulate her.)
Given the above, it is not hard to see that by the end of the game, what Daigneux really wants is someone to serve and spend time with her, but she’s too arrogant to say so herself, so she uses the conquest to display her superiority and power and hide her loneliness.
Because of her loneliness, the male lead’s tendency to focus on the truth about the planet and inability to read the room sometimes make the strong-willed Daigneux extremely jealous, even when she doesn’t notice it herself (but she probably will not admit it either). The tsundere is what makes her really cute! (lol)
[h2]About the Kaiju Princess Universe and ARTcelerator [/h2]
This game was developed mainly by my ARTcelerator team, with the help and authorization of PantyParrot.
I am an animator with more than ten years of experience as a 3D artist, and I’ve been on the development teams of many famous games from Taiwan, such as Sakura Scroll, The Children of Doomsday, Rakuou Mikamijo, TenkafuMA, and more. I was also responsible for the sex scenes in Kaiju Princess, and most of the Spine animations in this game.
I’ve known DOES and Maokuan, the producer and writer of Kaiju Princess, for many years. At the end of July 2022, after Kaiju Princess showed good results, we were at a karaoke bar when it occurred to us that we can create a Kaiju Princess Universe with each of the seven sins! DOES and Maokuan decided on the spot to use the original team to make the Gluttonous Princess, so I volunteered to lead a team to make the Arrogant Princess, both as a challenge and a learning experience.
To make the story consistent and continuous, I decided to let Maokuan write all the scripts for the Kaiju Princess Universe. ARTcelerator was still in its infancy, so there was no lead artist, and I was the only animator. I came up with the first draft of the world view, the designs, and the character stories. I had to ask Philosophy, the artist for Kaiju Princess, to help me with the early character designs for Arrogant Princess.
I started as a one-man team under tremendous financial stress and deadlines, and slowly expanded the team by working with external resources and recruiting those who I think are suitable for the team. We still don’t really look like a team, but we do what we can.
Development started in August 2022, and didn’t finish until December 2023. I am no stranger to the game industry, but making a game from zero to one was several times more difficult than I imagined.
For about a year and half, we brainstormed, planned the development workflow, explored new technology, created working builds, and tested them repeatedly to make sure the game ran smoothly.
We also had to take the art production and quality into account, as well as localization standards for various languages. Of course, there was also plenty of debugging. The difficulties and setbacks were unimaginable to the outside world.
With limited manpower, funding, and time, each step was a difficult challenge, especially with regards to the final quality of the game. It was as if we were in an RPG game ourselves, starting out in rookie village, leveling up through killing monsters, getting better equipment, meeting new companions, and defeating bosses until we beat the game.
I am very grateful for my team for the success of Arrogant Kaijui Princess. Both old friends and newcomers are those who know game development well and fight on the frontline. Everyone is a veteran, and some even volunteered to work after their day job hours are over, because everyone believed in the Arrogant Princess. I would also like to thank the PantyParrot team for helping us and placing their trust in us.
[h2]About the Story and Characters[/h2]
The story of Arrogant Princess is easy to understand: become closer to Daigneux, conquest the factions on the planet, have sex with their leaders... Compared to SLG, the interactions between player and each of the characters make this more like a visual novel.
We put a lot of effort in giving each character their personality, and worked with the best voice actors (of the dark side) to give them their soul and charm.
We do hope that players will experience the entire story of the game, but since this is an indie 18+ game, players who are “in a hurry” can also skip the story to focus on the CG and the action. We try to cater to both types, after all...
[h2]About the Good Ending Theme Song[/h2]
Since ARTcelerator is a new team, our members have to be multi-talented to handle emergencies. The promotional video and the ending theme were actually made just a few days before the final delivery.
Since I’m a musician and in a band, the song was actually created by my group, Future Development (Vol thanks Rouyi from MangoParty for their support). I was looking through the comments, and one player that played bass commented that the slapping bass line in the song was amazing. It was very moving to have a musician validate the hard work that we put in.

Now, as we always do, please scream with me. “Daigneux is too cute!”
