[p]Hello everyone, [/p][p]This is Toru Nakamura, Director of Vivid World.[/p][p][/p][h2]Vivid World is finally out TOMORROW![/h2][h2]November 5th 12:00 AM (PT)✨🎉[/h2][p][/p][p]This will be the final entry in the series, and I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has been reading along😌[/p][p]I truly hope you enjoy this last post![/p][p][/p][p]Today, I would like to give you a glimpse into another world that exists beyond battle...[/p][h3]a mysterious realm we have been quietly developing behind the scenes. [/h3][p][/p][p]Some of you who played the demo may have wondered, [/p][p]What exactly is this place?🤔 [/p][p]In this post, I would like to reveal a bit of the mystery behind this intriguing space![/p][p][/p][h2]🔮What is Lymbos?[/h2][p]“Lymbos” is a kind of lobby space where Lemuria stays outside of the dungeons. [/p][p]Yes, you can visit this area in the Demo, but most of it remains locked.[/p][p][/p][p]This place is packed with all sorts of out-of-battle elements, such as Dungeon Unlocks, Perfumes, and Stickers, which we’ve introduced in the earlier blog posts. [/p][p]You’ll also find wandering spirits to talk with and reapers who seem to be working on some weird projects... [/p][p]The story and world of Vivid World both expand from this place.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]By the way, here’s what the initial concept looked like! [/p][p]It started with a simple layout featuring just color blocks and gradually evolved into its current form. [/p][p]Looking back now, it inspires a sense of nostalgia![/p][p][/p][p]Also, in the screenshot above, you might notice there’s a part that is locked. [/p][p][/p][h3]What could this be…?🤔[/h3][p]We hope you look forward to discovering it when the game releases![/p][p][/p][h2]😈Let’s meet the loveable Characters![/h2][p][/p][p]Here is a quick look at some of the unique characters you’ll meet in Lymbos![/p][p][/p][h3]💎Vulcan (Jewel Researcher)[/h3][p]A reaper has become completely enchanted by the beauty of a material found in dungeons, known as Star Fragments.[/p][p]Normally calm and reserved, it becomes animated and speaks at lightning speed once the conversation shifts to its passions. It proposes a deal to Lemuria: to exchange the Star Fragments you have collected for mysterious stickers from his personal collection.[/p][p][/p][h3]💎Nefertem (Perfume Artisan)[/h3][p]
A whimsical reaper that lives in a cozy jar.[/p][p]It gathers materials and brews strange perfumes without sleep. Its crafting methods remain completely unknown, and the scents it produces change daily.[/p][p]It may speak in a bit of a jumbled way, but look at how it cannot wait to share its latest creations with you. Its enthusiastic charm is quite hard to resist. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]💎Hermes(Record Keeper)[/h3][p][/p][p]Hermes is a reaper who diligently documents every change and event that occurs in the dungeons, often without needing to be asked. [/p][p]Also a passionate dungeon enthusiast who takes note of even the smallest details. Since the arrival of Lemuria, it could not be more thrilled by the influx of new information coming in.[/p][p][/p][p]ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー[/p][p][/p][h3]Thank you so much for reading all the way through![/h3][p][/p][p]The release of Vivid World is just around the corner...[/p][h3]on November 5th!💫[/h3][p]We have been able to continue our development thanks to all of your feedback and support.[/p][p][/p][p]Vivid World is not just about what happens in battle, but also what takes place outside of it.

[p]Hello everyone,[/p][p]This is Toru Nakamura, Director of Vivid World.[/p][p]Today, I’m excited to introduce a brand-new feature that adds fresh choices to your adventure:[/p][h2]💎 Dungeon Unlock 💎[/h2][p][/p][p][/p][h2]🔮 So... What is a Dungeon Unlock?[/h2][p]“Dungeon Unlock” is a system where you use “Spirits” earned under certain conditions to gradually unlock various systems and upgrade elements through a panel-based interface.[/p][p]By unlocking each individual panel, you’ll gradually open up new functions and systems as you progress:[/p]

• [p]Panels that grant access to entirely new features[/p]
• [p]Panels that expand limits, like increasing your item capacity[/p]
• [p]Panels that add new recipes for Gem Fusion and other expansions[/p]

[p]…and much more.[/p][p][/p][p]Many of the important elements we’ve introduced before also become available through this system.[/p][p]In short, it’s a way for you, the player, to expand the world at your own pace and in your own style 🧬[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Let’s take a moment to meet the mysterious NPC who manages the unlock system...[/p][h2]💎 Vitruvius the Grim Architect[/h2][p][/p][p]Vitruvius is a self-proclaimed architect working to “bring better living to the Underworld.”[/p][p]He’s supposedly overseeing renovations, managing dungeons, and improving the quality of (after) life.[/p][p]In reality? He does none of the work himself.[/p][p]All he really does is broker deals and still collects Spirits as payment. Ruthless![/p][p]You’ll always see him with a fancy gadget in hand, pretending to be busy.[/p][p]But the rumors say… he may also be making deals with demons behind the scenes.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]🌳 A Panel System that’s easy to navigate[/h2][p][/p][p]The dungeon unlock system is presented as a branching tree of panels.[/p][p]Unlock one panel, and you will reveal the adjacent ones.[/p][p]Any panels you cannot access yet are darkened, so you would not get lost.[/p][p]Rare panels with powerful effects are color-coded to help you spot them at a glance💫[/p][p]Every decision, which path to take, what to prioritize,[/p][p]shapes your progression and becomes part of your strategy![/p][p][/p][h3]But wait… Will some features in the demo be locked at the beginning?[/h3][p][/p][p]If you’re wondering if the features like Orbs and Gem Fusion will not be attainable from the beginning in ver. 1.0,[/p][p]The answer is yes... You will need to unlock those features again in the full version!🥹[/p][p]BUT, have no worry, we have placed those fundamental features early in the tree, so you will have them back quickly.[/p][p]The idea is to help players ease into each system, one at a time, rather than getting overwhelmed from the start.[/p][p]Think of it this way:[/p][p]The early panels serve as a gentle path to reacquaint you with the systems, not as obstacles to slow you down👍[/p][p][/p][h2]🤔 Addressing the “Wow, There Are So Many Systems” problem our way[/h2][p]This dungeon unlock system was actually born from internal playtests, where we kept hearing:[/p][p]“There’s so much going on, I can’t keep up…”😫[/p][p]And yeah… we totally get it.[/p][p]Throwing everything at you all at once can be overwhelming.[/p][p]So we thought, what if players could choose how and when they open up each system🤔[/p][p]And that’s how this system came to life.[/p][p]But that’s not all. It’s not just about easing new players in.[/p][p][/p][p]Many panels offer core upgrades and strategic options such as:[/p]

• [p]New skill activation rules[/p]
• [p]Unlocking unique fusions[/p]
• [p]Tactical enhancements that can change your entire approach[/p]

[p]So yes, it's a tutorial system and a meaningful progression path. It does both. 👍[/p][p][/p][h2]💎 In Closing[/h2][p]All gamers, including myself, have run into this once in their lifetime:[/p][p]“Suddenly I had several new features and I didn’t even notice… OK, I am officially confused.”[/p][p][/p][p]We wanted Vivid World to be different.[/p][p][/p][p]We want you to choose how you expand the game.[/p][p]To learn by exploring.[/p][p]And to build your own shape of adventure.[/p][p]No one tells you where to go.[/p][p]You pick the path. You make the calls.[/p][p]When the full release comes, I hope you’ll give it a try![/p][p][/p][p]Thanks so much for reading to the end![/p][p]By the time the next blog goes up…[/p][p]We might be able to officially announce our release date!! ✨[/p][p]Please look forward to it! 🎉[/p][p]See you in the next dev blog.[/p][p][/p][p]Toru Nakamura[/p][p][/p][p]Vivid World Director[/p]
