fix some bugs, wish you have fun!

Hello, this is Wonho Son, PD of ANVIL.

The main content of the Jan. update is the addition of different galaxy difficulty levels. We want to explain our intentions as well as give details.


We added Czerny practice mode so newcomers can play the game in a more friendly environment. We greatly decreased the difficulty level and gave starting gold to allow players to create builds more easily. However, to avoid difficulty in matchmaking due to having separate matchmaking pools, we will only make Czerny practice mode available as single player mode.

The current Campanella galaxy difficulty level will be set as the highest (Extreme), and two less difficult modes, normal and hard will be added. As clearing Campanella normal opens the fourth relic spot, we expect people can take advantage of this to clear Campanella Hard and Extreme more easily.

Specifically regarding Campanella Extreme, players will start out with 500 gold, allowing players to buy tier-3 weapons or with multiple relics. We hope players don’t see this mode as just a difficult mode but get a sense of “extreme” feeling and have fun. In addition, the number of planets will be increased to 9 and will have random bosses besides the two fixed ones, making a different play experience than the current Campanella structure.

The thing we were most concerned about for making many difficulties available was that with matching spots diversified, the time for matchmaking can become longer. To solve this issue, we decided this difficulty addition can be a mid-way solution and will constantly improve based on user feedback and stats.

Also, we deleted base status effect resistance of bosses so players can make use of status effects more and made diverse changes to controls and battle visual effects so that players do not experience unexpected deaths. Furthermore, we made fixing bug and crash issues an utmost priority and was able to fix many of them.

We thank you for all your interest and support. We will strive to repay everyone by becoming a better game. Thank you.

Thank you very much for your understanding.

We've been working on Project Cappuccino 2 for a little while now, and it's time to pull the covers off to the public.

The Story

Project Cappuccino 2 will feature 4 new main characters and will revolve around the mess that Mira left behind in the underworld by escaping to earth. The underworld is in the process of selecting a new Succubus Queen, and things are about to get heated! Players take the role of a Succubus/Incubus/Concubus in training and will be tasked with making sure that their succubus becomes the next Queen!

THE NEW CAST

ROSARIA - EX-SUCCUBUS QUEEN



Ex-Succubus Queen from the Domain of Conjuration that has lost her position of power due to Mira. Rosaria is being given a chance to prove herself and maintain control of the throne. Unfortunately, she no longer has the influence and power that she had during her reign, so many tend to treat her like a normal demon. The many years spent as queen allowed her to become a well-rounded succubus, having experience in all sorts of debauchery. In a sense, she was a kind and caring queen. Maybe a little too kind for her own good.

MANA - LADY OF VICES



A sinister succubus from the Domain of Blight, known as the Lady of Vices. Mana can be cold and ruthless, but she enjoys the good life and mortal pleasures. Over time, she has learned to specialize in curses and poisons. Rumor has it that she used nefarious methods to become the #1 succubus in her domain, making a vast number of enemies in the process. Realistically, she will rule with an uncaring precision if she were to become the next Succubus Queen.

YANI - THE BEAST OF MEROTH



Yani is a brute of a succubus that hails from the Domain of Power. She can be playful at times but is a hazard to be around. Prior to entering the tournament for the Succubus Throne, she had been imprisoned at the Burning Pit, a confinement for extremely dangerous demons. Her release from the Burning Pit came with an agreement. Win the tournament and become the next Succubus Queen, or return to the prison, permanently.

CHARLOTTE - PRINCESS OF DEATH



Heir to the throne of the Domain of Life and Death. Charlotte is a rare crossbreed demon that came to be when a romance sparked between the Succubus Queen that preceded Rosaria, and the dark one known as the Hand of Death. Seeing as she has both succubus blood and the blood of a demon lord, she believes that it’s her right to secure the title of Succubus Queen. Her personality has been known to shift in dangerous ways, indicated by the flame on her tail.

-------------------------

More info on the game itself will continue to become available as development continues!


Will the original cast be in this game?

Yes! We intend for the original cast to show up through a parallel story that focuses on what they’ve been up to in the past 2 years. Chapters of the original cast’s route will unlock as you complete the new character’s routes.

How long is the game going to be?

The story will be AT LEAST as long as Project Cappuccino, but we are aiming for 4-8 hours of story game play. Each new character will have their own route, and a fifth story route will unlock when completing all 4 of them. Aside from this, we’re planning the Cafe Saga that will focus on the original girls and what they've been up to in the past 2 years.

Can we still pick our Skin Tone & Gender?

Yes. We may also add some unnatural demon skin tones to the mix too but we’ll see. We’re also toying with the idea of letting players pick parts of their body like tongue shape, breast size, etc.

What’s the Gameplay like?

We’re trying not to deviate too much from Project Cappuccino in this one, so the game will be a mix of visual novel with mini game aspects. Interactive NSFW scenes will be similar to Cappuccino’s “rooms”, but with more variety between them. Honestly, we need to make a whole post about game mechanics that we have planned.

Will there be new kinks/fetish content?

Yes! That’s part of the reason why we had that fetish poll recently. We want to make this one everything that Project Cappuccino was and more, so we will be ramping up the NSFW content to include a larger variety of things. Since this game takes place in literal hell, we do need to warn that some content and themes may be darker/lewder than in Project Cappuccino. We also plan to use the fantasy element to its full potential since we’re not bound by earth rules here and we can stretch reality. (If we want magic and monsters, we got magic and monsters.)

Why the new cast?

We intend to bring the two groups together in the future in a third game, and it’s necessary to establish who they are first. As well as flesh out the world’s lore that was lightly touched on in PC1. Things like the tomes, underworld regions, why Mira is worried about being hunted down, etc.

These new characters are intended to be hard counters to the main girl’s personalities.

Rosaria -> Mira: Both pompous and with huge conflicting egos.

Mana -> Colette: Both commanding and sharp. Mana is a bit lazier at times and rough around the edges, which would irk Colette.

Yani -> Sophie: Yani is what you get when you take Sophie’s chaotic energy and ramp it up by 1000%. Yani would eat mud and destroy a cafe while Sophie panics in the background.

Charlotte -> Cerise: Charlotte is the ultimate in spoiled royalty and would give Cerise a bit of a wakeup call when it comes to her panicked and cry baby personality.

When does this game take place?

Since time does not flow at the same rate as on earth, this game starts around 2 earth years after the events of Project Cappuccino. In demon time, it’s been about a month or two.

When can we play it?

We’re aiming to have a public playable build around Summer this year. Patrons can already try out an early prototype version. We’ll keep news about this game pouring until then.

Thanks for reading!

<3 FROM D-CELL GAMES

New World January Expedition Update 1.3 downtime will begin for all regions at 4AM PT (12PM UTC) on January 25. Expected downtime is 3 hours.

Greetings, Adventurers!

The January Update has graduated from the Public Test Realm (PTR) and is releasing into the main New World game. This update includes a new end-game feature: Expedition Mutators! Mutators change the familiar by augmenting “Normal” and “Named” Enemies found within expeditions, changing the way encounters play out and what strategies players should consider before battle. And as combat changes, so do the rewards! New bespoke gear and resources can be found, providing additional means to increase your power level.

This system rotates through a unique combination of Expeditions and Mutations each week, with 10 difficulty levels per Expedition Mutation. Players will be challenged to climb the ladder, with the aim of eventually reaching the max difficulty.

With this update, we’ve also added Umbral Shards to the game. Umbral Shards are a mysterious, powerful resource that enable you to take an item with a Gear Score of 600 all the way up to a Gear Score of 625. Raising your equipment’s Gear Score in this way is critical if you want to dive into higher-difficulty Mutated Expeditions or gain a competitive edge in PvP. We have also increased the Expertise cap to 625.

You can find the full update notes on our releases section of the website, where all major updates will be shared.

As always, thanks for your support. We’ll see you in Aeternum!
