We've listed down some ways (Not all of them - you will have to figure out the full combination for the record on your own)[/p]

1. [p]Speedrun - In the Settings menu, you can control the Battle Speed of the game. Battle Speed at 3X should be helpful.[/p]
2. [p]Most enemy units defeated - Go for every battle encounter in the journey. Defeat all the enemy units before destroying their flag, and make them feel what absolute defeat is like.[/p]

[h3]Rules[/h3]

1. [p]1 Person can only win 1 key. If you managed to win in 2 or more categories, an application from a random category will be cancelled. In this case, the next person from that category will win the prize.[/p]
2. [p]In the event of a tie for the highest record among participants in an event, we will announce a lucky winner through a raffle among the participants with the same highest record.[/p]
3. [p]The event goes on during the Steam Next Fest Period. Records that are submitted after the specified period above will not be accepted.[/p]
4. [p]NO CHEATING. Do not edit the Snapshots or crack the game to make an absurdly high record.[/p][p](We have ways to know, and anyone who committed cheating will be banned without notice.)[/p]
5. [p]Reward keys will be distributed via Discord DM.[/p]

[p]Hello Commanders, [/p][p][/p][p]this is I M GAME.[/p][p][/p][p]Today, with a heavy heart, we must share that the Early Access release of Master of Piece will be delayed until the first Quarter of 2026.[/p][p]In our social media updates and at the game exhibitions we’ve attended, we shared that Master of Piece was planned to enter Early Access this November. However, after much consideration, we believe the extra time is necessary to polish the game, add stability, and ensure the experience truly represents what we want to deliver.[/p][p]We’re incredibly grateful for your patience and support, and we can’t wait to welcome you into the game in January.[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Hello Commanders! [/p][p][/p][p]First, we went to Germany, and then America, and now Japan![/p][h2]Master of Piece is coming to Tokyo Game Show 2025 with our much-praised Prologue Demo! [/h2][p][/p][h3]🇯🇵 Chiba Makuhari Messe, Japan[/h3][h3]📍 Hall 11, Booth E45[/h3][h3]📅 September 25 - 28, 09:30 ~ 17:00 (16:30 For the last day!)[/h3][h3]⚔️ Bringing the Prologue Demo that has gotten tons of love from Germany and the USA![/h3][p][/p][p]For those who can't wait, the Prologue is open right here 😉[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p][h3][/h3]

[p]Hello Commanders! [/p][p][/p][p]We want to sincerely thank everyone who has played and supported the Master of Piece Demo since its release. Your feedback and encouragement have been invaluable to us in shaping the game.[/p][p][/p][p]As we move forward, we will be closing the Demo on the Steam page for now as it is outdated. But don’t worry — you can continue your journey in the Prologue, which now contains the latest demo build with much more content. It has been released last month during Gamescom, so it is our second demo build with improved and augmented content since the first Demo that we released here, in March.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]The Prologue is completely free to play and represents the newest direction of the game. We’d love for you to try it out, leave us your thoughts, and add the full game to your wishlist if you haven’t already.[/p]
