Hello, this is the 213℉ Development Team.

In the last issue [Developer's Note #4], we introduced the process of completing the design of the main character, Chibi TSURU-chan (temporary). This time, we will introduce the process up to the birth of 3D TSURU-chan (temporary)!




The design drawn by KUROBOSHI KOUHAKU is being converted to 3D by the development team! At this stage, it's still hard to tell what it is, isn't it?




Once the shape was created, we then added color to it. Somehow, you can see a glimpse of TSURU-chan (temporary), can't you?




What is important toward the completion of the project is how the material, texture, and other aspects of the work will be finished. We received such detail information from KUROBOSHI KOUHAKU, along with the design, and reflected it in the 3D TSURU-chan (temporary).




When it's done, we spin it around and check it as well.




In addition, we made a series of adjustments to get the impression as close as possible by putting the 2D and 3D images side by side like this.

You may not be able to see all the details on the actual game screen, in order for TSURU-chan (temporary) to look like TSURU-chan (temporary), we tried to reproduce the design from the appearance to the texture.

Thus, we have successfully created TSURU-chan (temporary) in 3D!

So, from the next issue, we will be seeing TSURU-chan (temporary) as a player character,
From the next article, we will show you how the player character, TSURU-chan (temporary), will actually act in the game.

TSURU-chan (temporary) is a Tsurugi Master with a talent that only comes along once in 1,000 years.
We will show you the various actions of TSURU-chan (temporary) as a player in the game!
Please follow us and wait for the next issue!

Thank you very much for reading to the end!

It is a great encouragement to our development team, please don't forget to add your Wishlist!

Hi, this is the development team of 213°F.

In the last issue of "Development Note #3", we introduced the process of completing the design of the main character TSURU-chan (temporary),This time, we would like to introduce the process up to the point where TSURU-chan (temporary) starts to move in the game!



Once again, here is TSURU-chan (temporary) on the game screen. Her head height and other features are different from her original design!

This version of TSURU-chan (temporary) was also created by drawing a new design. Of course, it was created by the character designer, KUROBOSHI KOUHAKU!



It all started with a single rough illustration like this one. The rough illustration was first applied to a tentative game screen image.

Here it is!



From the initial design stage like this, the size and height of the head are adjusted with an eye to how TSURU-chan (temporary) will look on the actual game screen.

Based on the adjusted screen image, we finally proceed with the design toward completion!



First, TSURU-chan (temporary) is drawn with only lines and then ...



There it is colored and done!

How do you like it?

In order to ensure that the characters' features and charms are not lost even if their heads are changed from the original design, character designer KUROBOSHI KOUHAKU himself designed Chibi versions of each character in the game.

We can't wait to introduce the other characters to you at ..., but that will have to wait for another time!

Once the design for the Chibi version is completed like this, the next thing to do seems to be ...!
[h3]3D TSURU-chan (temporary)![/h3]
We will create her 3D model from the design.

We hope to introduce such a story in the next issue, so please follow us and wait for the next issue!

Thank you very much for reading to the end! Please don't forget to add to your Wishlist, as it will encourage our entire development team!

Hi, this is the development team of 213°F.

This will be the second part of a two-part series on the process of completing the design of our main character, TSURU-chan (Temporary).

This is a continuation from "Part 1", so please be sure to check out "Developer's Note #2" as well.



Once the general direction of the design has been determined, it is time to work out the details such as the back side, the accessories worn, and the materials used. In the game, players may not be able to see all the details, but anything that is important to the character or to the creation of the character is decided upon.

By the way...
Have you noticed that someone is lurking here and there in the design?



Hey, cat?
You can feel KUROBOSHI KOUHAKU's extraordinary(?) persistence everywhere.

And the very last. When it comes to the finishing stage, it is important to create facial expression patterns.

Here are some of them!



There are many other expressions for TSURU-chan (Temporary), but you'll have to wait and see what she actually looks like in the game when it's released!

Now that the design is complete, including the facial expressions and detailed settings, is TSURU-chan (Temporary) complete? No, no, no, this is not the end.

The real work begins now!

Once the design is complete, we need to get her into a state where she can actually be played and moved in the game. But how do we do that?

Next time.
TSURU-chan (Temporary), on the move! :)

Be sure to follow along and stay tuned for the next Developer's Note!
And please, add to your Wishlist!

Thanks for reading all the way to the end!
