Sorry everyone, the game is messed up again
It's a repeat of the disastrous launch of Sword x Hime five years ago
This time we originally got EA approval, but it was cancelled 10 days before release, so we had to force it out, feeling utterly helpless
We released the game in a rush with many unfinished parts, which was a reckless and wrong decision on our part
But the two of us have recovered, we won't give up, we won't run away, and we'll climb up again from the bottom

🔹A New Beginning
After many discussions with programmer Kazuya, we decided to rebuild Snow x Hime into Sword x Hime 2, a fully enhanced 3D RPG
The foundation of Snow x Hime is actually much better than Sword x Hime's, with improved lighting technology and higher-quality characters and monsters
In terms of H content, there's evolution in body dynamics and stockings gloss, as well as a newly built combat system
However, aside from these, there's almost nothing else, very empty, completely unworthy of being called an RPG
Sword x Hime, having been refined over five years, is much better in RPG elements, though still has many shortcomings
Originally, we planned to directly port Sword x Hime's quests, towns, skill packs and weapon system
But since Snow x Hime's framework is newly designed and incompatible, the programmer evaluated that remaking would actually be faster
Thus, Sword x Hime 2 will have brand new towns, inns, quests, events, skills and weapon systems, surpassing the old work in every aspect

⚔️Combat and Exploration System
In the combat system, new Musou-style gameplay will be added on top of the existing Souls-like battles
Bosses will no longer fight alone; there will be various minions interfering with the player
Weapon and skill systems will also play a crucial role
Currently there are three outdoor scenes, and now multiple new dungeons scattered across the world will be added
Each dungeon's exploration and difficulty will be greatly enhanced for clear differentiation
Thus, improving character strength and obtaining stronger weapons and equipment will become especially important
Each dungeon will be filled with various bosses for players to challenge
When a dungeon is successfully cleared, you'll receive greater rewards, such as taking off the fox girl's clothes and wearing them yourself
We'll strive to polish the RPG sense of progression, exploration and collection, making character growth more fulfilling

👗Costumes and H Gameplay
Around 30 new costumes are planned to be added, with classic Sword x Hime outfits returning as well as new fashion
H gameplay will be further refined by referencing popular R18 titles, currently not yet implemented

New girl appearances and hairstyle types will be added for players to choose from
Whether the final in-game result can look as beautiful as the store images is uncertain, but I'll do my best (❀╹◡╹)
During field or dungeon missions and events, you'll encounter these girls and can obtain them after defeating them
Detailed planning will begin only after the main and side storylines are completed
The construction period for these additional elements is around six months to one year, and each finished feature will be implemented and tested immediately
If this failed game's sales have a chance to recover in the future and funds are sufficient, we'll do our best to extend development beyond one year







💋Three Major Update Phases
The three major updates originally announced during EA will also be realized together
Phase 1: Female-initiated H, Phase 2: Yuri (girl-girl) love scenes, Phase 3: Training mansion
Bondage training, idle play, girl masturbation, and girl wrestling will definitely be newly added themes
Detailed content can be found in this article

🐍Full H Monster Upgrade
Finally, to make the new Sword x Hime 2.0 - Snow x Hime world richer and grander
All kinds of classic monsters from Sword x Hime will be ported into Snow x Hime
And fully remade with high-quality models and optimized H animations
The ultimate goal is to create a masterpiece R18 3D RPG featuring over 100 H monsters

Thank you for reading this far
Currently, we will first prioritize fixing major bugs, completing the remaining 10 costumes and internal cum animations for existing H monsters
After that, the full-scale overhaul of Snow x Hime will officially begin
If you're willing to believe we can do it again, please look forward to it (◍•ᴗ•◍)ゝ

+5 income. Can't roll tier 1 fighters. Gain income for building and upgrading tier 6 fighters.

• You cannot roll or reroll T1s (<=25g)

• Building a T6 (>=260g) increases your income by 3

• Upgrading a T6 increases your income by 15

• Your roll always includes at least one T2 (35-60g) and at least two T6

The Aristocrat fantasy is forgoing cheap units in favor of expensive ones. Tips:

• Be careful in the early game - without a T1, you can get stuck with awkward gold values.

• Rush an early game T6 for a quick income lead

• Pick Pirate Skeleton or Grarl when available and make use of their 90% sell ability to build and upgrade T6s earlier

• Increase your propensity to shift gold for an early T6

Old Double Down

• Activated on purchase before the match starts

• Doubles your rating gain and loss

New Double Down

• Optionally activated during the game before wave 1 spawns, allowing for strategic usage

• Doubles your rating gain if you win

• If you lose, multiplies your rating loss by 2.1-2.4, depending on your rank:

  • Unranked, Bronze, Silver, Gold: 2.1

  • Plat, Diamond, Expert: 2.2

  • Master, Senior Master, Grandmaster: 2.3

  • Legend: 2.4

• Notifies all players in the game after wave 1 spawns for maximum disrespect

Double Down is now a strategy decision. Because you have access to predictive information before using Double Down, the loss multiplier is >2 to keep it balanced.

Say hello to the Big Wig Pass, our highly-requested, premium pass stacked with all the perks a true Big Wig deserves.

For the ultra reasonable, suspiciously cheap, value town price of 1337 premium essence, enjoy the following in-game benefits for 30 days:

• 📈 Double Down Boost – When you win with Double Down, get a free stack back. Plus, immediately receive 6x Double Down stacks

• 🎟️ Card Bundle – Immediately receive a random Secret Card and 20 Card Fragments

• 😏 Bragging Rights – Loading screen flair and colored name in Discord (if Discord account is linked)

Don't be a regular wig - become a Big Wig and call everyone “old sport!"

Mastermind Visibility

Masterminds are now revealed to all players after wave 1 spawns. This change gives players higher agency and more information to make better strategic decisions, particularly against surprise-factor masterminds like Stash, Scrapper, Chaos, and Redraw. There will still be plenty of surprises, mind games, and potential for outplays, but we're changing the strategic decision from an "unknown unknown" to a "known unknown."

For example, consider Stash, one of the most popular and fun masterminds. Stashing on the right wave can be game-winning and feels amazing, but playing against Stash can feel low agency because you not only don't know when they will Stash, you don't even know if they are playing Stash in the first place. There are too many layers of uncertainty. This change removes one of those layers, while preserving the high impact and fun part about Stash.

Shoutout to Boone for the idea.

Scrapper

• Scrap: Sell percentage: 90% → 85%

• Bonus starting gold: 0 --> 3

Scrapper is fun but is too strong and can be frustrating to play against. To address this, we're shifting power out of the Scrap ability.

Black Market

Income: 56 → 58

A bit overtuned compared to nearby waves.

Encouraging activity in very high MMR.

Duo Adjustment Formula

Duoing in high MMR is now less punishing, depending on your and your teammate's ratings.

Dear Mahjong Player,

The scheduled server maintenance on October 14 (Tuesday) for Amatsuki Mahjong has been successfully completed. Include the following system adjustments, and bug fixes:

[Ver. 1.4.7 Update]
<General Fixes & Improvements>

1. Fixed occasional screen freezing when spectating Hong Kong or Taiwan Mahjong in real-time.
2. Fixed an issue where, after viewing another player's [Profile] and switching to the stats tab, returning to the main profile page would prevent viewing their joined club.
3. Fixed an issue where, during [Batch Recycle] in the Backpack, the item description on the right side of the screen did not switch correctly.
4. Fixed the issue that the [Speed] data for the Sichuan Mahjong playing style incorrectly appears as a negative number.
5. Fixed an issue where some of Lilliana Grantia's voice lines failed to play properly.
6. Fixed an issue where viewing a player's club through their [Profile] and then checking another member's [Profile] caused a display issue of the player's character.
7. Fixed an issue preventing the renaming of [Custom Sets].
8. Fixed an issue where viewing the [Character] page in a Friends match room displayed an error message and caused the player to disappear from the room.
9. Fixed misalignment and display issues when scrolling down to view items in certain [Shop] tabs.
10. Fixed an issue where some prize slots in [Pinball Playground] did not play their winning sound effects properly.
11. Fixed an issue where users were unable to see the trophies displayed by other clubs on the [Club Details] page.
12. Fixed an issue where a button for viewing a player's club is incorrectly displayed in their profile during matches and replays. This function should not be accessible in these scenarios.
13. Fixed an issue in Japanese Mahjong where settlement text for [Mangan] or higher hands did not trigger the correct sound effects.
14. Fixed an issue in Sichuan Mahjong spectating where the [HuaZhu Check] and [Bigcall Check] phases could not be viewed.
15. Fixed an issue where the [Yakuman Ready Hand] voice line was incorrectly shown as requiring [Soul-Bond] to unlock on the [Character Details] page. It should be unlocked upon acquiring the Character.
16. Fixed display issues with certain animated emotes during matches.
17. Fixed an issue in Sichuan Mahjong replays where enabling the [Show Hand] function caused the winning player's hand to be incorrectly hidden again upon winning.
18. Fixed an issue where switching to another character while equipping a character's awakened lobby background, the voice lines did not switch simultaneously.
19. Fixed the description of Demotion Protection in the Japanese Mahjong guide. When demoted, the player actually returns to the previous rank with half the PT of that rank.
20. Fixed and replaced missing text translations and missing font errors.
21. Fixed an issue where the game would get stuck on the loading screen after a match and fail to return to the lobby.
22. Fixed an issue where players were unable to view the [Latest Big Hand] data for Hong Kong and Sichuan Mahjong.

<Mahjong Modes Specific Fixes>
1. [Hong Kong Mahjong] Fixed an issue where the [12 Pieces Penalty] rule did not take effect correctly.
2. [Taiwan Mahjong] Fixed an issue where an erroneous [Earthly Ready] declaration appeared during the mid-match phase.
3. [Taiwan Mahjong] Fixed an issue where the first draw resulting in an [Earthly Ready] could not be declared correctly, and the player was unable to discard tiles normally.

<Known Issues>(Scheduled to be fixed in the next update)

1. In the [Bond Ranking] of the leaderboard, the ranking of characters with max-level affection is not displayed correctly.
2. When equipping a club trophy in the club lobby, there is a chance that the trophy may be misaligned.
3. When a character's Affection levels up at the end of a match, the dialogue interaction for the Affection level-up is not properly triggered.
4. After completing all sign-in days and claiming all rewards in the sign-in event, a red dot notification still appears.
