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.
