Hello everyone,

the materials for the phase one update are nearly complete.

Here is a report of the content planned for this update

1. Gameplay overhaul

Boss parry has been removed, and the stalling time for dual-boss fights has been reduced. The overall pace is faster so players no longer need to wait too long for boss attack windows.

All bosses will no longer fire moonlight projectiles at long range; they will 100% switch to jump attacks or rush attacks, keeping the fight fully close-range.

The stat rewards gained from leveling up have been greatly strengthened, allowing players who struggle with Souls-like combat to raise their power significantly simply by leveling, without needing cheats. Whether you win or lose, you will receive generous stat rewards.

The strength of all 43 monster sets will also be heavily increased. The difference between the first set and the final set may reach more than a thousand times.

Hardcore Souls-like players can also raise their stats suitably to challenge the most difficult playstyles.

Damage number pop-ups have been added so players can clearly feel how much stronger they become after upgrading.

2. 36 monster-combination climax internal-release animations implemented

The semen-spray effect is still under research; not sure if it can make it into this update.

3. New quick Collection Gallery mode

Each monster will have 4 animated previews, 144 in total. Clicking an animation will directly jump to that H combo and automatically adjust the viewing angle.

This allows pure-viewing players to quickly enjoy their favorite H content. Since what you want to watch may differ each time, choosing from thumbnails is the most convenient method.

4. H-scene facial expressions and voice remake

The previous expressions and voice effects during H scenes were poor and chaotic. Randomization has been removed; everything has been fully remade and manually arranged.

5. Cross-section system implemented

Gameplay is still unknown and will be continuously adjusted until this system becomes mature.

6. Two new female hairstyles and a simple face-customization system

This is still experimental. More facial fine-tuning options and makeup will be added in the future.

7. Soft-body system overhaul

The revamped body physics will have three levels of jiggle intensity, making the differences in body movement more noticeable.

8. Skirt-lifting overhaul

The skirt-lifting feature now uses a wind-blowing system. You can control wind direction and strength to blow the skirt away in various poses.

The phase one update is planned to release before next month's Steam Winter Sale.

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 🎥Showcase Videos New Dungeon Scene

Town

The Inn of Fallen Stars: Legend says every falling star is the soul of an adventurer who never returned. 👗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 Discord https://discord.gg/qvT7EWrdNS
