Tales of Seikyu News

[h2]Happy Tuesday, Seikyuians![/h2]

We’re back with some sneak peeks at work in progress character designs, drafts of Mika’s home for as well as some extra little behind the scenes information of what we are working on further in the future.😊

It’s been a wonderfully busy time as we released a quality of life update based on community feedback which was well received. Your input genuinely makes a difference so if you have something you want to share, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Also to make sure you don’t miss out, Tales of Seikyu is part of the Summer Sale on Steam so until 10th of July you can grab yourself a 20% discount!

And with that said let’s dive into the latest dev diary!


[h2]🖤 Meet Uwabami[/h2]

Recently we shared an introduction to Uwabami in a newspost. He’s one of the new romanceable characters coming to the Island of Seikyu in a future update 👀

We wanted to share some of his early WIP designs to show you the process of bringing him to life! It has been fun putting this character together, and we also loved hearing the community’s thoughts on Discord as we shared versions of his designs.



Uwabami’s yokai form is based on the snake yokai of the same name. 🐍



The above Uwabami’s design is completed so this is the final look, what do you think? 👀


[h2]🛁Hot Spring is Coming[/h2]

As you may already know, Content Update 1 will include the grand opening of the Hot Springs and we can’t wait for you to take a dip and meet the enchanting Mika who’s running the place. The hot springs are said to contain magical properties so we hope you enjoy exploring what that means. 🌸



[h2]🐄Ranching & More![/h2]

We’re working on the ranch to get it ready for Content Update 1, including some very cute Capybara behaviors that we hope that you will love as they will interact with the other animals on the ranch! We can’t wait for you to experience the bustling farm life and it should also enable you to elevate your cooking as ingredients can be more easily foraged fresh rather than rummaging through those bins. 👀

Shuten’s Tavern is also getting some attention as we’ve been working on a mini-game!

Howdy there Seikyuties! We’ve got something extra special to share with you today. Introducing Uwabami, the newest romaceable villager coming to Tales of Seikyu in a future update. We’ve been reading all your comments here on Steam, over on our social media, and we even put out a survey to find out exactly what you were looking for in our next male romance option. Well, after going through your feedback and spending lots of time considering how to pull the most popular requests together, we’re pleased to share this concept art with you:



[h2]“Tell Us About This Mysterious Swordsman!”[/h2]
Believe us, there is a lot we want to say about Uwabami, but we don’t want to spoil too much just yet. We’re still putting the finishing touches on his story and characterisation, so here are some snippets from his bio (subject to change). With that in mind, if there’s anything you really like, be sure to let us know in the comments!

• Uwabami’s yokai form is based on the snake yokai of the same name. Uwabami or “Orochi” are enormous serpents with voracious appetites, but there’s a little more to our Uwabami’s yokai form than meets the eye…and remember, snakes strike when backed into a corner.
  
  
• Getting close to Uwabami won’t be as easy as winning the hearts of more amiable villagers. You’ll have to earn his trust to get him to reveal his true nature – something he exclusively reserves for his best friend, Alin (more on this character, soon 👀).
  
  
• Volatile yet driven, Uwabami has a quiet yet chaotic energy and is known for his fluctuating emotions. Getting on his good side won’t be easy, but you’ll be rewarded with ferocious loyalty – a real ride or die companion!
  

[h2]Let Us Know Your Thoughts![/h2]
Since he’s still in the early stages of development, it’ll be a little while before you meet Seikyu’s serpent, meaning there’s plenty of time to tell us what you think about him and the personality info we’ve shared. Does this unpredictable bad boy feel like a fun new addition to the sleepy village of Seikyu, or will his arrival cause unprecedented chaos? All will be revealed in time (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)

Like what you see here? Don’t forget, Tales of Seikyu is 20% off as part of the Steam Summer Sale. With many more updates on the horizon, there’s no better time to pick up the game and start your adventure! We’d love to hear your thoughts on this character and our other villagers here in the comments, on our official Discord, or on our social media channels: X, Bluesky, Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok!
