Couchpotato spotted the March update for Armed Fantasia:

Armed Fantasia March 2024 Update

We are three months into 2024 and it’s my birthday month. There are a bunch of games releasing this year. With all that happening one game not to forget about in development is Armed Fantasia To The End Of The Wilderness. A new month means we get another update from Wild Bunch Productions and bee tribe Digital Studio. In this update, the team decided they wanted to start to focus on certain themes moving forward. The theme for this update is generally focused on sound work for the game and everything dealing with that. So let’s get into March’s update.

Like usual, the team had an opening message greeting the Armed Fantasia fans. They started by saying this:

"It’s March. The weather is gradually getting warmer, but people’s hay fever is also getting more intense as well. We’re currently in a season where you kind of want to go outside but also kind of don’t. How are you all faring? Today’s report is coming to you courtesy of our chief director Ishii."

Armed Fantasia Project Update
Armed Fantasia’s chief director Ishii started the update by saying this:

"Hello, Ishii here to bring you all this month’s report. As Sekiya described in last month’s update, we’ll be deciding on a theme. Then bringing you content focused around that each month going forward. This month’s theme is: sound effects! I’m not part of the team that creates the sound effects. But I’ll be talking about what goes into ordering them."

Couchpotato spotted an older update on Armed Fantasia:

Armed Fantasia Nov/Dec ’23 Update

Another month has come and gone as we inch closer to the end of the year. Wild Bunch Productions and bee tribe Digital Studio combined the November and December updates into one. In this update for Armed Fantasia To The End Of The Wilderness, we get information about the development and even some cool images. So let’s get into the update!

The team started with a short message. This is what they said:

All of a sudden, the days have gotten shorter, and we can feel the temperature difference with our bodies more and more as time goes on. We hope you’re all in good health. A main staff member will be bringing you this month’s report instead of Kaneko.

November 2023 Project Diary
Ishii the chief director for Armed Fantasia had this to say:

Hello, everyone. I’m Ishii, the chief director of Armed Fantasia. We’re working hard to reach our monthly development goals, but since the people sitting diagonally to the right of me and directly in front of me are very busy working to complete the goals that are due by the end of this year, and I “look less busy by comparison,” I’m going to write this month’s report.

Towns, Dungeons, and Battles
One of the things they shared with fans was some insight into the development of the Towns, Dungeons, and Battles for Armed Fantasia:

We’re working on brushing up Lostave, the town where Ingram’s childhood home is while aiming to complete our end-of-the-year goals. More and more work is being done on the landscapes, so the resolution of the world is increasing with every new day. Regarding Lostave… It’s a place where people who excavate massive ruins end up gathering and turning into a sort of settlement at some point, making it a town that embodies the Western-punk characteristics of Armed Fantasia. The combination of Western-style buildings and giant mining machines makes it unique.

It’s sad that we can only show it to you through text rather than images at this moment, but I think the visuals we’re working on are going to be pretty exciting, so I hope you’re all looking forward to it. Battles in Armed Fantasia have a ton of elements to them, so we’ve been doing a lot of trial and error regarding the UI and what to keep vs. what to exclude. Thanks to all our hard work, we’re finally seeing the light in the tunnel. In addition to that, Kaneko’s sense of aesthetics says that the text info should be as large as possible, which has caused our UI people to work very hard.
