TSURUGIHIME News

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

As we bring you the development of TURUGIHIME..., we will introduce the production process before the design of our main character, TSURU-chan (temporary), is completed in two parts!




The main character of TSURUGIHIME, she is a genius, one of a kind in 1,000 years, who has the talent to become the greatest Tsurugi Master of all time. But she is still only level 1.

Along with this concept, we began by compiling materials on what kind of character TSURU-chan (temporary) would be. For us, we asked KUROBOSHI KOUHAKU to design the character with as much freedom as possible, so while we told him what was important for the game, we did not ask him to draw a specific picture.

(Tsurugi Master...?)



[h2]Boom![/h2]
This is how many ideas for the TSURU-chan (temporary) ... were born from KUROBOSHI KOUHAKU. Some of the elements remain in the current TSURU-chan (temporary), but the impression is completely different! All of them have their own charms and are cute, and if we had my way, we would make use of all of them ..., but only one of them can be adopted as the main character. We narrowed it down to one proposal from various angles, including the sense of heroism, balance with the other characters, and whether it met the requirements of the game.




After narrowing it down, the result is this rough sketch! As you can see from a comparison with the current TSURU-chan (temporary) introduced in Developer's Note #1, there are still many differences in details, but the general direction of the project has been finalized.

(I don't wear clothes anymore because it gets hot and my clothes are caked on. ...?)

We will show you how it looks from here to completion in the next part!

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!

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

TSURUGIHIME, an RPG that "crafts" fate.

In this Developer's Note, we will be regularly posting the latest development news and other information through STEAM News.

TSURUGIHIME, scheduled for release in 2024, is still in the early stages of development. We will be sharing information with you as we create the game, and we hope that you will enjoy the live experience of its development as well.

Well, the first thing I want to introduce to you all in these Developer's Note is the main character of TSURUGIHIME! She is..., but she does not have a name yet. It will be some time before we have an official name for it, but since it will appear frequently in the future, we would like to introduce it to you under a temporary name at this stage.

The temporary name is "TSURU-chan (temporary)"! (The name is taken from "TSURU" in "TSURUGIHIME".)

As this is the first installment of the Developer's Note, we would like to introduce an illustration of TSURU-chan (temporary) designed by KUROBOSHI KOUHAKU!



TSURU-chan, however, gradually damages its clothing due to damage incurred during the battle.
In this action-packed game, the emphasis is on players being able to intuitively understand their own HP status (i.e., whether or not they are at high risk of dying) just by looking at the main character. It's important that you play well and avoid damaging clothing as much as possible when you play!

One of the hooks of TSURUGIHIME is that you can enjoy the various appearances of the characters designed by KUROBOSHI KOUHAKU. Of course, this is not yet the only image of TSURU-chan (temporarily) that will be depicted in the game. We will continue with the rest of the story in the next issue, so be sure to follow along and wait for it!

That's it for this issue!

Finally, your addition to Wishlist is an encouragement to our entire development team.

Thank you in advance!
