**Production Notes 4: Crafting the Gameplay Experience**
**The Unique Thrill of Games**
One of the major appeals of erotic games is how the excitement of adult content is heightened through gameplay experiences. To ensure players naturally enjoy the game without feeling bored during gameplay segments, we’ve focused on building a solid foundation as a game. Our goal is to create a work where the journey leading up to the adult events is just as enjoyable.

**Direction of Craftsmanship**
We always strive to objectively evaluate whether our attention to detail and dedication genuinely translates into enjoyment from the player’s perspective.
With that in mind, here are some key points we’ve been mindful of during development:
※ Since this article delves into the foundational aspects of game design rather than promoting the game itself, we’ve made it exclusive to our followers to avoid wasting these insights.

### 1. Difficulty Balancing Aligned with the Game’s Concept
The ideal difficulty level varies depending on the game’s concept. For this title, we prioritize the unique erotic experience that games can offer, so we’ve adjusted the difficulty to allow room for player experimentation.
If the game is too easy, many gameplay elements become meaningless, which would contradict our core concept.
Appropriately balanced challenges (enemies, dungeons) create universal gaming pleasures like exploration, equipment upgrades, and character growth.

### 2. A Well-Paced Introduction
After the game begins, players go through the heroine setup and immediately gain control in a tutorial dungeon. The narrative guidance is provided after the player has completed the initial gameplay segment.
It’s difficult to capture a player’s interest with world-building or character explanations before they’ve immersed themselves in the game. Therefore, our introduction aligns with the player’s desire to start interacting with the game quickly.
Since you can start playing right away, we hope you’ll give it a try when the demo is released!
We also ensure that forced events do not interrupt moments when players are eager to take control.

### 3. Maps That Make Exploration Fun
**Interactive Objects**
Dungeons are filled with numerous interactive objects, adding rhythm to what could otherwise be monotonous movement.
Thoughts like, “There’s an item further ahead, let’s go grab it,” “Let’s advance while avoiding traps,” or “Let’s sneak past monsters while they’re turned around” may seem minor, but they accumulate to create tension during dungeon traversal.
*Comparison: Before and after placing interactive objects.*
**Rewards That Motivate Exploration**
Optional paths, hidden routes, and mechanics-locked areas offer rewards such as erotic equipment, powerful weapons, rare items, and sub-events. When players learn that exploration leads to rewards, they become more motivated to actively seek out uncharted areas.
*“Rare item found! Players will strategize how to reach that spot.”*
**Visuals and Presentation**
Visual information from the map also serves as stimulation. While too many NPCs unrelated to gameplay can be distracting, too few make the world feel empty. To strike a balance, we’ve placed NPCs with dialogue logs that appear when brushed past, adding liveliness without overwhelming the player.
*“The night downtown stirs the imagination.”*
*Comparison: Before and after adding visual effects. The amount of on-screen information greatly impacts the sense of excitement.*

### Conclusion
For players who prefer to skip gameplay and jump straight to adult events, options like skipping gameplay or minimizing game elements during the design phase can be solutions. However, these approaches aren’t universally ideal, as many experiences are only possible through gameplay.
The craftsmanship introduced here focuses on understanding why players might want to skip gameplay and instead aims to make gameplay segments enjoyable. The reason we insist on this approach is to deliver the heightened excitement that comes from experiencing the game fully.
We’re not sure how successfully we’ve implemented these ideas, but our goal is to create a game that not only serves as an erotic title but also appeals to those who love games in general.
