Unfortunately, most of those events were very sad. In March, we lost several well-respected creators and artists, beginning with Akira Toriyama and Mutsumi Inomata, two of the world&#8217;s leading creative standard-bearers who represent Japan. We also said farewell to Minori Terada, the talented voice actor who played Muska in Castle in the Sky, and TARAKO, who charmed families around the nation by playing the main character of the Chibi Maruko-chan TV show.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I was greatly influenced by them from an early age. I always looked up to them, and they assisted me in my drive to want to become a creator myself in the future. There are also many other members involved in the Penny Blood project who have had their sensibilities stimulated by these figures, so I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere condolences. I would also like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for the many accomplishments they have left behind.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I hope you will understand that I have specifically chosen to use this space to express my feelings instead of my SNS account in order to convey my feelings to people who love creative works not only in Japan but also around the world.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regarding the progress of the Penny Blood project, I would like to talk about Penny Blood: Hellbound again this month.\u00a0 The game has evolved from closed beta to early access, and more and more content is being added to the game. Recently, the production side of the game has also been undergoing a lot of polishing, and I\u2019ve been supervising storyboards among other things.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The storyboards are really interesting, so I suddenly got an idea. \u201cHey, we should feature these in the updates!\u201d But then I realized, \u201cOh, there\u2019s one particular scene in the ending that spoils a lot,\u201d and sort of wrestled with myself. I\u2019ll try to pick out what\u2019s okay to show you all and feature it in the next update, so please hold on for a bit. Also, as a continuation of last week, we\u2019ll be revealing the rest of the trihedral figures for the Hellhounders along with the Ivory Warlock, one of the bosses they face.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2026That concludes this month\u2019s update.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See you all next

everyone.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A bright, cheerful spring has already arrived in the town where I live, and some days feel like it\u2019s already summer, which makes me wish I could experience a bit more of the change from season to season. As an example, I just went outside in light clothes, but today I feel cold. The temperature difference is really extreme, so please take care of yourselves.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now for Penny Blood: Hellbound sound update. In March, we completed our second voice recording session. All the voice talent\u2019s performances went far beyond the expectations of myself as well as the development team\u2019s, and there were several lines that were so well done that it became quite hard for us to choose an \u201cOK\u201d take. On top of that, some of the VAs even decided to do a few more takes on top of those, which were all also amazing in their own ways. Overall, it was a truly exquisite recording session.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Witnessing the moments when characters are brought to life is a truly mystical experience filled with surprises. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the voice talent agency for their amazing casting and to the voice talent who read through the material, dove into their roles, and did thorough preparation for the performance.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the session, I made various adjustments to the voice recordings in order to prepare them for implementation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the VAs speak, sometimes sounds such as &#8220;pa&#8221; or &#8220;chi&#8221; create lip noise, and their throats can also make sounds that sound a bit like &#8220;koh&#8221; when they pronounce things in certain ways. These are all minute noises that are created naturally due to the way the human body works, and it&#8217;s the engineer&#8217;s job to check for these sorts of noises throughout the performances. If necessary, they&#8217;ll edit the files and erase the noises, or ask the VAs to do another take if it&#8217;s impossible to remove the noises.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The VAs all do their best to make sure these noises don&#8217;t appear, but as long as the noises don&#8217;t get in the way of the acting, or when they actually end up contributing to the human or monster-like atmosphere that we&#8217;re going for, I accept the files as-is.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I check the file IDs one by one to make sure they&#8217;re correct, cut out any unnecessary blank spaces, then unify the overall volume and quality. Finally, I consult with the planner and add special effects that are necessary for specific characters until the files are finally polished like jewels and ready for implementation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the files are all in the right spots, as designated by when the characters are supposed to say certain lines, I deliver the files and implementation is completed. After that, a final stage of adjustment is done on the overall balance of music, sound effects, and voice tracks, and then the voice work is complete. The road to &#8216;completion&#8217; in this part of the job is a very long and harrowing journey.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I hope you\u2019ll enjoy the lively voices of all the characters once our work is done!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27eadd3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"27eadd3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;columns&quot;:2,&quot;lazyload&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;link_to&quot;:&quot;file&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;3:2&quot;,&quot;overlay_background&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pennyblood.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Hirota1.png\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"all-27eadd3\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Hirota1\" e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzQyNSwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL3d3dy5wZW5ueWJsb29kLmpwXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI0XC8wNFwvSGlyb3RhMS5wbmciLCJzbGlkZXNob3ciOiJhbGwtMjdlYWRkMyJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/www.pennyblood.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Hirota1.png\" data-width=\"700\" data-height=\"875\" alt=\"\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pennyblood.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Hirota2.png\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"all-27eadd3\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Hirota2\" e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzQyNiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL3d3dy5wZW5ueWJsb29kLmpwXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI0XC8wNFwvSGlyb3RhMi5wbmciLCJzbGlkZXNob3ciOiJhbGwtMjdlYWRkMyJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/www.pennyblood.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Hirota2.png\" data-width=\"700\" data-height=\"700\" alt=\"\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discord Roles As mentioned in previous updates, we are working through any customer service requests that come in to pr@yukikaze.ltd and providing roles for mismatched survey responses or capitalization issues.
