"Letter from the Producer #17: Rallying (Part 3) & How it Started (Part 15)Hello there. I'm Masaru Saito, the producer of Brigandine Abyss.Today I'd like to continue talking about the Rally mechanic I touched on in previous letters.When a leader unit and a monster unit group up, this is called Rallying, and it allows the leader unit to gain the Rally Trait of the chosen monster. This time, I'd like to talk about the trait of a particular monster, the Ash Wolf.As a Wolf-type monster, the Ash Wolf is agile and excels at direct attacks. When a leader uses Rally on an Ash Wolf, they will gain the ""Continued Movement"" trait.With this trait, a unit can use any remaining movement points to move again after using a skill, such as an attack.As you can see in this video (at around 00:15), one of the most obvious uses for this trait is attacking, then immediately retreating to a safe position.I'…

"Letter from the Producer #13: Garnet & How it Started (Part 13)Hello there. I'm Masaru Saito, the producer of Brigandine Abyss.This time, I'll be writing about another main character in the game, Garnet.She's the protagonist of Scarlet Will's story mode.Garnet leads a heroic band of mercenaries, the Scarlet Will, and, together with her friends, faces off against the Novus Imperium.Garnet is a young woman who shoulders the responsibility of leading her father's mercenary band in his stead. She is brave, earnest, and cares deeply for her friends. On the official website and such she is introduced as being ""A very serious character!"" or something, but that's not all there is to her!Throughout the game there are scenes where we see her bravery, her gentleness, and even a more vulnerable side of her that's rather endearing.She's a great girl, the kind of character you just want to cheer o…

Letter from the Producer #9: Changing Elements with Equipment and How it Started (Part 9)Hello there, I'm Masaru Saito, the producer of Brigandine Abyss.I forgot to say one thing about elements in my previous letter. Certain weapons and armor can bestow elements on the wearer. Equip such an item on a non-elemental unit to make it elemental. Or how about giving your favorite character an advantage in the next battle so that they survive? This kind of strategizing is one of the joys of simulation games, I think.Now, let's continue from where we left off with "The Start of Brigandine Abyss."Saito had a reason for wanting to handle the development of a new Brigandine game. As he's mentioned in numerous interviews, he had left Happinet once and then rejoined the company. During his first stint, he was a part of the development team and worked on Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia.That’s why…

"Letter from the Producer #5: Mission Mode and How it Started (Part 5)Hello there, I'm Masaru Saito, the producer of Brigandine Abyss.Today I'd like to say a bit more about Mission Mode. In this mode, you choose one of 24 nations and try to complete its objectives. You might be thinking, ""Hmm, each nation has different objectives, so does that mean total playtime varies too?"" Yes, absolutely. Some can be cleared in a flash, others may take a lot longer, and I hope you pick a nation that suits your playstyle.Now, let's continue from where we left off with ""The Start of Brigandine Abyss.""Saito bought loads of interesting simulation games, played them, and then researched everything he could. Sales numbers for all kinds of Brigandine-like games, the state of game consoles, everything. To start a game project, you need to do market research and prepare materials like verification report…

Letter from the Producer #1: Greetings and the Start of Brigandine Abyss (Part 1) Hello, everyone. I'm Masaru Saito, the producer of Brigandine Abyss, and I'm also in charge of these producer letters. Thank you for your interest in our game. Every game has its incidents on the path to completion. Brigandine Abyss was no different, and there are still things popping up here and there even now. I'd like to tell you about the game systems, characters, and world, as well as share some things that came up during development. For April, I'm going to think back and describe how the project got started. If I recall correctly, it was in the spring of 2022. It had been two years since the previous game, Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia, came out for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4, when we released it on Steam. The sales of the Steam version were higher than expected, which became a turni…
