Sorry everyone, the game is messed up again
It's a repeat of the disastrous launch of Sword x Hime five years ago
This time we originally got EA approval, but it was cancelled 10 days before release, so we had to force it out, feeling utterly helpless
We released the game in a rush with many unfinished parts, which was a reckless and wrong decision on our part
But the two of us have recovered, we won't give up, we won't run away, and we'll climb up again from the bottom
🔹A New Beginning
After many discussions with programmer Kazuya, we decided to rebuild Snow x Hime into Sword x Hime 2, a fully enhanced 3D RPG
The foundation of Snow x Hime is actually much better than Sword x Hime's, with improved lighting technology and higher-quality characters and monsters
In terms of H content, there's evolution in body dynamics and stockings gloss, as well as a newly built combat system
However, aside from these, there's almost nothing else, very empty, completely unworthy of being called an RPG
Sword x Hime, having been refined over five years, is much better in RPG elements, though still has many shortcomings
Originally, we planned to directly port Sword x Hime's quests, towns, skill packs and weapon system
But since Snow x Hime's framework is newly designed and incompatible, the programmer evaluated that remaking would actually be faster
Thus, Sword x Hime 2 will have brand new towns, inns, quests, events, skills and weapon systems, surpassing the old work in every aspect
⚔️Combat and Exploration System
In the combat system, new Musou-style gameplay will be added on top of the existing Souls-like battles
Bosses will no longer fight alone; there will be various minions interfering with the player
Weapon and skill systems will also play a crucial role
Currently there are three outdoor scenes, and now multiple new dungeons scattered across the world will be added
Each dungeon's exploration and difficulty will be greatly enhanced for clear differentiation
Thus, improving character strength and obtaining stronger weapons and equipment will become especially important
Each dungeon will be filled with various bosses for players to challenge
When a dungeon is successfully cleared, you'll receive greater rewards, such as taking off the fox girl's clothes and wearing them yourself
We'll strive to polish the RPG sense of progression, exploration and collection, making character growth more fulfilling 🎥Showcase Videos
New Dungeon Scene
Town
The Inn of Fallen Stars: Legend says every falling star is the soul of an adventurer who never returned. 👗Costumes and H Gameplay
Around 30 new costumes are planned to be added, with classic Sword x Hime outfits returning as well as new fashion
H gameplay will be further refined by referencing popular R18 titles, currently not yet implemented
New girl appearances and hairstyle types will be added for players to choose from
Whether the final in-game result can look as beautiful as the store images is uncertain, but I'll do my best (❀╹◡╹)
During field or dungeon missions and events, you'll encounter these girls and can obtain them after defeating them
Detailed planning will begin only after the main and side storylines are completed
The construction period for these additional elements is around six months to one year, and each finished feature will be implemented and tested immediately
If this failed game's sales have a chance to recover in the future and funds are sufficient, we'll do our best to extend development beyond one year
💋Three Major Update Phases
The three major updates originally announced during EA will also be realized together
Phase 1: Female-initiated H, Phase 2: Yuri (girl-girl) love scenes, Phase 3: Training mansion Detailed content can be found in this article
🐍Full H Monster Upgrade
Finally, to make the new Sword x Hime 2.0 - Snow x Hime world richer and grander
All kinds of classic monsters from Sword x Hime will be ported into Snow x Hime
And fully remade with high-quality models and optimized H animations
The ultimate goal is to create a masterpiece R18 3D RPG featuring over 100 H monsters
Thank you for reading this far
Currently, we will first prioritize fixing major bugs, completing the remaining 10 costumes and animations for existing H monsters
After that, the full-scale overhaul of Snow x Hime will officially begin
If you're willing to believe we can do it again, please look forward to it (◍•ᴗ•◍)ゝ Discord https://discord.gg/qvT7EWrdNS
