Hi everybody, it’s your CAVE WORLD Producer, Masa KING here.

We’re sorry it’s been so long since our last update!
Thank you for your patience!

Did you get a chance to check out the new promotional video we put up yesterday for Deathsmiles iPhone/iPod touch?

I have to apologize to those who have waited so long for news on the project, it seems that our visit to Gilverado will not quite make it by Spring…

On behalf of the development staff, we’re “do-do-doing our best!“, so please stay tuned for more information.

For those who haven’t checked out the trailer yet, it’s right here!

Deathsmiles has been published on the Xbox360 in both North America and Europe, so I think you might be familiar with the story and gameplay. With the iOS version of Deathsmiles, the big attraction will certainly be “iPhone Mode”!

① Princess Tiara is Here!

Some of our Japanese fans may be familiar with Princess Tiara, but for those overseas, let me explain a bit more:

Tiara first appeared on the third installment of the Deathsmiles Drama CD series, and she is the granddaughter of the Gilverado queen. This is her first time appearing in-game!

On the Deathsmiles Drama CD, Tiara’s aspirations of becoming a magic-user led her on a misguided hunt for “magical crystals” hidden within the Ice Palace, entwining the Angels in a slightly calamitous adventure.

A few months after the chaos of the “magical crystals” had settled down…
a new original story unfolds for Tiara.

For iPhone mode, we’ve recruited manga artist Yukinatsu Mori, who currently draws and writes “Tama-san” for Manga Time. He’s handled the character designing and scenario writing this time at the strong recommendation of Junya Inoue, who penned the original character design and world setting for the Deathsmiles series.

Mori-san has drawn new designs for Windia, Casper, Follett, Rosa and Sakura, so definitely check out what he’s done with these characters.

② New BGM for iPhone Mode

For Deathsmiles iOS, Takeshi Miyamoto from CAVE (Muchi Muchi Pork, Pink Sweets) handles the soundtrack.
He’s composed his tracks with an orchestral flair, which give new life to the Gilverado we know and love! I hope you’ll dig it!

③ Power up Tiara with Equipment and Items!
Using equipment and items found in the game’s shop, as well as items hidden throughout the game, you can power up your princess to take on the demons of the otherworld.

These progression features give iPhone Mode a different feel from Arcade Mode, and let you build a unique and powerful princess in your adventure through Gilverado.

＜WHERE TO FIND ITEMS＞
● Use Gold obtained by defeating enemies to buy equipment at the Shop
● Grab items located in stages
● “Banish” bosses to unlock items
● Pick up special items added periodically to the Shop!

And lastly, about that release date…we’re sorry for all the delays!
We’ll be announcing the release date soon on our official site (http://www.cave-world.com/), so definitely stay tuned for more information!!

That’s it for today…
