[Kemono Friends: Kingdom] Developers Journal: Creating a Perfect Blend of Cute Girls IP and Catapult

Translate

Greetings, KFK enthusiasts! We are thrilled to announce the official launch of Kemono Friends: Kingdom. As the production team, we are eager to give you a glimpse into our creative journey, where we seamlessly merged the charming anime girls IP with engaging catapult gameplay.

"Kemono Friends: Kingdom" is an adaptation from the dark-horse Japanese anime "Kemono Friends", known for its heartwarming friendship stories and

emotional bonds. Set post-apocalypse, it follows a human child's continuous

growth through interactions with animal "FRIENDS".

We've taken great care in portraying our characters, inviting renowned artists to

refine their designs, and infusing each one with behaviours and habits based on

real-life animals. We've created original art backgrounds for each friend—from

the grasslands to rainforests, tundras to deserts—to highlight the rich natural

and ecological characteristics of their habitats.

Classic elements from the series, including Sand Star and Paper Airplanes, have been maintained in the gameplay. Animal friends use different skills such as attack, assist, protection, etc., to combat Cerulean monsters, making every encounter strategic and exciting.

In addition to captivating gameplay, we've included an educational aspect into

"Kemono Friends: Kingdom". Detailed profiles of various animal species—covering their habits, types, and conservation statuses—are incorporated into the game, providing players not only a thrilling adventure but also valuable knowledge about wildlife.

The map scenes follow the course of the game plot, with diverse terrains hosting

strategic confrontations against varying types of Ceruleans.
