Actually, Odencat currently has two major development lines. One is the line where I work on scenarios and direction for games like 'Bear's Restaurant' and 'Fishing Paradise.' The other line is Ryota-san's line, where I serve as a producer for projects such as 'Snowman Story,' 'Mouse Busters,' and 'Meg's Monster.'

This time, 'Meg's Monster' became the biggest hit in Odencat's history. It's a source of great pride for me since it's my own creation. However, I've also started feeling a mix of jealousy and fear as Ryota-san's power continues to grow.

As a producer, my primary job was to assemble the best team and shape the project. Despite occasional disagreements and challenges, we've become like companions who shared a phase of life together.

Even after the game's release, we've been able to explore new avenues like merchandise, 4-panel comics, and newsletters with the help of new team members. While solo game development is enjoyable, there's something truly fulfilling about working together as a team.

We hope that 'Meg's Monster' will continue to be loved, and we'll keep giving our best. Please look forward to it!

Since the release of "Meg's Monster," I have received many more positive comments than I ever imagined from so many people. I am most delighted that something I created thinking "this is good, isn't it?" was also seen as "good" by many others.

Being fundamentally negative, I have often found myself pondering dark thoughts alone like "What's the meaning of my life?" However, if through "Meg's Monster" I was able to provide a good experience or influence to various people, then perhaps that might be one answer to those thoughts.

I want to express my gratitude again to everyone who has played "Meg's Monster," liked it, or even shown a little interest. I plan to continue making games, so I look forward to your continued support!

One year already! I've designed characters and worlds before in my career, but never something so well-received. And for that, I am grateful.

Thank you to everyone who played, streamers, and the fans who keep producing incredible media based on "Meg's Monster".

The characters of Meg, Roy and Golan have become very meaningful to me and I often find myself doodling them on napkins or notebook paper.

But they would just be drawings if not for the efforts and hard work of my talented team members who brought them to life through game design, storytelling and music.

It was definetely a new milestone for Odencat and I remain excited about the future.

Since the release of "Meg's Monster" many things have changed.

Until now, I was often referred to as the composer for Monster Hunter, which of course made me happy. However, there was always a lingering feeling that my music was only appreciated because the games were popular and selling well.

But “Meg's Monster” provided me with an opportunity to discard such labels and engage with my work purely from the heart.

The one thing I wanted to express through music was the moment when I was a child, playing games, and my heart was moved.

Over the past year since its release, I received so many voices saying, “It was interesting!” and “The music was great!” It felt like my self-belief in creating the music was accepted, and it was a source of solace.

For the first time, I created the soundtrack CD myself. I also built a website and even promoted the music.

I worked tirelessly, and before I knew it, this work became incredibly precious to me.

Director Ryota also wrote a wonderful comment, and I share the same feelings. I look forward to continuing with "Meg's Monster."

Happy 1st Anniversary to 'Meg's Monster'!

I've been helping with game development at Odencat behind the scenes, but I believe 'Meg's Monster' was the largest project in terms of the number of people involved and its scale among all the works I've been part of.

There was an extraordinary attention to detail from the development team, such as wanting to eliminate noise in delicate environments, wanting to add fluctuations to the character's voice lines, and wanting to make the ending more emotional. We really worked hard up until just before the release to meet these aspirations. It was also the first time for a game of ours to be ported to Xbox.

A nerve-wracking issue where the game wouldn't start on Xbox emerged right after release, but fixing it quickly has now become a fond memory. Thanks to such efforts, 'Meg's Monster received great acclaim, and I was able to formally join Odencat last year.

I look forward to continuing to make great games, so please stay tuned!!
