Production Progress Report

Creation of Facial Variations and Expression Variations

　Since the end of last month, we have resumed production on “QUEEN of MASSACRE.” 　Firstly, we have created facial variations for enemy characters. This includes three facial variations for each of the two enemy characters, and for each facial variation, three expression variations were made. In total, this amounts to nine facial variations.

　The time required to draw a single facial variation varies; sometimes it can be completed in a relatively short time of 2-3 hours, while other times it may take an entire day. When things don’t go well, it can be quite perplexing. In such cases, continuous corrections until it comes out right are essential, which means it takes effort. In contrast, creating expression variations is relatively mechanical work. It requires persistence but is relatively easier. 　Here, “expressions” refer to “faces distorted in pain.”

Creation of Damage Variations

　The graphics of the enemies change to show injuries as they take damage in combat. When they are defeated, the graphics change to show fatal wounds. Separate defeat graphics are prepared for each facial variation. 　All unedited images of the defeat graphics will be posted in the paid plan (support plan) and some on the Discord server.

Announcement of D’s Production’s Discord Server

　We’ve mentioned this several times before, but as we have new followers, we would like to inform you again. 　The Discord server “D Dictatorship Policy Research Institute” run by D’s Production is a loosely operated server where participants can freely chat and share their creations. Anyone who is an adult can join.

　On this Discord server, some of D’s Production’s creations are made available. You can think of it as something between a free plan and a paid plan. 　Of course, participants can also post their creations and engage in casual conversations. 　If you are interested, please feel free to join.
