- 【Making Of】Image Board Released! - 16 June 2026
Good evening, everyone! How many chapters of the game "Iris Odyssey" have you seen so far?This time, we are unveiling the "Image Board" that shaped the world view of the story!In order to create the stills that appear in the game, the art team created an "Image Board" to determine "which scenes" and "how to express them." (Image Board Art by Kibi Dango)Here is a comparison between the completed version and the image board.For example, in the scene where Iris adopts Fuka.In this scene's image board, the confrontation of their relationship is expressed by having Iris and Fuka face each other, but in the completed version, the layout was significantly changed to allow better visibility of the characters' expressions.Similarly, in the completed version of this still, Iris's expression is prominently depicted, while the dynamic nature of her magic was reinterpreted with a lively composition.…

- 【Launch Commemorative】Wallpaper Giveaway Day 10: Sakura Blossoms - 11 June 2026
【Day 10: Mage Fuka】Good evening, I’m Nakamoto, the PR and illustrator.The wallpaper giveaway has reached its 10th installment.Last time, I discussed Iris's image color, so this time, let's talk about Fuka.I mentioned before that her image color is purple, and actually, Fuka's name is related to the "anemone" flower.To get a bit technical,the name "anemone" seems to derive from the Greek word "anemos," meaning "wind."The flower of the wind, anemone. That’s how Fuka got her name. (It turns out the director is a fan of Greek mythology, haha.)The anemone has many meanings, with the significance changing depending on the flower's color.The meaning of the purple anemone is "I believe in you and will wait."I had her hold the purple anemone to represent Fuka's steadfast and straightforward nature.▼ Download here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17qfVhztSTYayS_Tc3av1SNPvWUiQeAhD?usp=drive…

- 【Launch Commemorative】Wallpaper Giveaway Day 9: Sakura Blossoms - 10 June 2026
【Day 9: Sakura Blossoms】I love having girls hold flowers.Hello, I'm Nakamoto, the PR and illustrator.When it comes to spring in Japan, cherry blossoms come to mind. The flowers that bloom after surviving winter are beautiful, but they don’t last long and will eventually fall gracefully.So, I have Iris holding this fleeting and beloved cherry blossom.By the way, Iris’s name also means "iris flower," but since Iris's image color is red, it somewhat deviates from the purple of the iris flower.(I will elaborate more on this in another session, but actually, purple is Kazahana's image color.)From an illustrator's perspective,I want to pair Iris's bright hair color with similar bright colors…!!Light blue, pink, pale yellow, and red.These four colors are gradually becoming my way of expressing Iris.▼ Download here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1uOwPwdS6BBzhmxWxyc55t6z7L0dAKh_E?usp=dr…
- 【Launch Commemorative】Wallpaper Giveaway Day 8: Maid Fuka - 9 June 2026
【Day 8: Maid Fuka】Do you all like maid outfits?Hello, I'm Nakamoto, the PR and illustrator.Just like the previous internal struggle about whether to put Iris in a swimsuit, I had a similar mysterious conflict this time about whether it was okay to dress Fuka in a maid outfit.While characters have designated costumes, if they wear something that significantly distorts their image, it could lead to misunderstandings for those getting to know the character for the first time.However, thinking about it more, characters in anime magazines don't always wear their main outfits, and the covers or title illustrations of manga often feature various outfits based on the author's preferences.With that in mind, I boldly drew the maid outfit.This illustration was specially created as a novelty for the February event. Since it's February, the scene depicts Fuka making sweets for someone important to h…
- 【Launch Commemorative】Wallpaper Giveaway Day 7: The Two Under the Dappled Sunlig - 9 June 2026
【Day 7: The Two Under the Dappled Sunlight】In the dappled sunlight, Iris and Kazahana spend a peaceful time together.I tried to capture such a moment.Hello, I'm Nakamoto, the PR and illustrator.This illustration was the first one I drew as a novelty for the event.My memory is a bit hazy, but initially, there was no plan to make it into a postcard; it began with a passionate illustration drawn for announcements on social media.While the narrative in the game flows with a serious and grim atmosphere, I want to depict as many serene moments between the two as possible.▼ Download here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fXezmq1xCnrb1kSRkgIfKlpXsno2NJ0z?usp=drive_link──────────────────────────── 🎮 Launch Sale is Ongoing (10% Off) ────────────────────────────The "Iris Odyssey Complete Edition" DLC is currently available at a 10% discount during the launch commemorative sale.

- 【Launch Commemorative】Wallpaper Giveaway Day 6: Iris's Summer - 7 June 2026
【Day 6: The Beginning of Their Adventure】Today's illustration is from the fresh countdown illustration… Good evening, I'm Nakamoto, the PR and illustrator.When I usually draw Iris and Kazahana for promotional purposes, I focus on a more analog-like painting style that differs from the main story. However, this time, I unusually (?), used my personal method of coloring that I usually adhere to. It was a lot of fun☺️ The rough noise effect I applied at the end is one of my favorite parts.Actually, I forgot that Iris was supposed to wear tights under her skirt and ended up drawing her with bare legs… (Since it’s a bit of a waste, please allow me to show it here)After seeing the tights version, looking at this one feels a bit inappropriate, doesn’t it?!?!!? ▼ Download here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1umRs5ZeRoBlPXZm9LwGTrnA5werWmpm3?usp=sharing──────────────────────────── 🎮 La…

【Day 5: Iris's Summer】Iris in a bright red swimsuit with a ponytail.This illustration was specially drawn for the novelty at last month's BitSummit.Hello, I'm Nakamoto, the PR and illustrator.“I wonder if it’s really okay to put Iris in a swimsuit…”I clearly remember feeling hesitant while drawing this.Even though she doesn't appear in the main story! A swimsuit! How inappropriate!!!But when I received reports of the overwhelming success at the event, I was relieved.Thank you to everyone who accepted it!It's summer, and sometimes it's nice to wear a swimsuit, right?▼ Download herehttps://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xWe12n167_ecVo3its-RUp5x--yqY7gH?usp=sharing【Future Distribution Plans】 After Day 2, we will gradually release 4K wallpapers using different stills.
