Hello everyone. This is Kumon from enish.

Our apologies! The delivery of the update has fallen behind schedule.

There were two original reasons: one was that it took time to adjust the cost of training dolls and equipment, and the other was that the cause of the glitch in the Union Battle effect was finally discovered just before the deadline, and we wanted to include the fix in this update.

And as for the postponement of today's maintenance - update, it was due to the delay in the time when we could start maintenance due to the impact of Apple's failure and other factors. We were also taking into consideration and adjusting the time of the arena, and it clashed with the time to prepare for tomorrow's data update, so we were stuck in a situation where we couldn't move in any way (multiple versions of the data would get mixed up and become hard to collect).

Whatever the reason, we apologize for the delay. The update itself will be available tomorrow, but we will release the release notes ahead of time.

How to read the release notes

The release notes that provide information on the contents of updates used to be a mixture of “details of fixes and changes” and “explanation of background and intent,” making it difficult to understand the changes, and we have received such comments from many of you. In light of these circumstances, we have decided to list the changes and explanatory comments separately from this release.

If you would like to see only the content of the update, please read only the part framed by each item. The rest of the text is an explanation of the intent and background.

Events & Campaigns

PvP Free Season Opens (10/9~)

PvP Free Season has started.

PvP Free Season is a content for practice in between official matches. Private matches can be used for practice, but it takes a lot of effort to find opponents, and when there are no rankings for a single match, motivation tends to be a bit low.

We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy heated player battles.

Difference between Free Season and Official Competition

Since the Free Season is designed to enjoy the Arena in a casual manner, rewards such as ranking rewards and weekly rewards are basically the same regardless of wins, losses, rankings, and so on. In addition, doll skills and other balance adjustments may be made during the season. Please understand this point.

New and Improved Functions

Inheritance of ability to blue frame

This is a remedy for cases where a blue-framed doll or equipment of the same kind has been acquired after some progress in training and subsequently cannot be blue-framed. Other than the parameters related to the blue frame, there is no change for both the source and destination of the inheritance.

Sub-parameter re-release

Blessing Inheritance (Did not arrive in time)

Previously, only Lv was carried over, but we decided to introduce this feature because it would be easier to train multiple pieces of equipment if the blessing value could also be carried over. Since we were not able to develop this feature in time, it will be included in the next version.

Changed the method of drawing lots for unique skills in build mode.

Support dolls have the effect of increasing the draw rate for skills that they have in common with the build target dolls. As a result, the more support dolls you include, the lower the draw rate will be, because the unique skills are definitely not common to the support dolls.

It is too bad that the unique skills are a feature of each doll, yet they cannot be taken because of the reduced lottery chance, so we have changed it so that only the unique skills are not affected by the support dolls in the lottery rate.

Monthly pass to add number of sealed boxes held and opened

This is an upgrade to make the sealed box more comfortable for those who do not have blue frame dolls, equipment, etc.

Changed map consumption method for map dungeons

The rules have been changed in order to make it easier for players to challenge higher difficulty stages. Some of the more difficult maps may drop valuable equipment and other items. We encourage you to gather your friends and challenge them in a multiplayer game.

Fixing Union Battles

The performance improvement should have some success. We would appreciate it if you could try it out and report back to us with your feedback. Regarding the revival of Logico, this is to address the issue of union battles themselves becoming a muddle of just repeated zombie attacks, and the issue of billing pressure becoming a cause of deteriorating relationships within the guild when the official version is released.

Other Improvements

Resource balancing

This is a balance adjustment that reflects the results of the survey that we announced earlier this week and that you all helped us with. Since we have already disclosed our intentions and background, we have few additional comments.

Adjustment of the cost of training dolls and equipment (crons)

Increase in the amount of Klon earned in Klon dungeons

Adjustment of the amount of dolls' lvl. up data acquisition

Upwardly revised start-dash log-in bonus

Adjustment of maximum accumulation of various land facilities

This is an adjustment in response to your comment about the burden of logging in at a high frequency to receive what has been produced. The amount of production per unit of time remains unchanged, but the amount of accumulation has increased, allowing for a slightly more relaxed access frequency.

Balance adjustment of dolls, skills, etc.

Regarding the previously announced policy for balancing dolls and skills, we are currently in the process of finalizing and discussing the adjustment policy.

The amount of information will be too large to be presented in this letter, so a separate announcement will be made and published. We are aiming to publish it this evening, and if we do not make it in time, we will publish it by the end of the week. We look forward to hearing your comments after it is published.

Bug Fixes

Development status, status report, etc.

In this section, we will report on development progress and thoughts on random topics. It is still long from here, so please take a look when you have time.

Development progress of the Steam versionFuture Plans

We are currently in the process of reviewing the release version. We had reported that we were “aiming for around 10/18,” but the review process has not yet been completed.

The Future of Union BattlesFuture Plans

Thanks to many people's help and reports, I believe that this version is now in a state where it can be played by a certain number of people to some extent. We will continue to investigate and make adjustments to the performance issue (how heavy it is!). We will continue to investigate and make adjustments to this issue.

Promotion to beta version

Once we have confirmed a certain degree of stability with this version, we plan to make the version beta. The beta version will be provided in the following form.

• Official cycle of bidding → main competition → holding bases
• Reward system similar to that of the official version

We plan to keep the free matching mechanism even after the beta version.

Setting of Combat Strength Limit Stage

Another major problem with union battles is the difficulty in matching up with the right opponent.

As a measure to alleviate the problem, we plan to limit the upper limit of combat power in some battle fields. In restricted fields, master dolls that exceed the upper combat power limit will have their basic parameter values reduced so that their combat power stays within the limit. Only the basic parameters that affect combat power will be affected, and the effects of active and passive skills will not be changed.

The Future of the Arenaunder consideration

We are also discussing the arena in terms of how to play and how to hold future tournaments.

Setting of rules/special effects for each tournament

For the first tournament and the free season, we did not set any special rules and asked participants to play the game as it was. We hope that the players enjoyed playing with the dolls, which is different from playing with monsters. However, the dolls that are dominant tend to be fixed when the dolls are in their bare form.

In the future, we are considering setting up rules that feature some skills and dolls, as well as floor effects like those found mainly in daily dungeons, so that players can enjoy the build itself anew at each tournament and try out the possibilities of different dolls.

Small number of opponents

We are also considering a format in which multiple players battle each other in the hopes of providing a more diverse battle experience. First of all, we are considering 2-on-2, 5-on-5, etc., with the number of players within the low single digits. We envision that players will be able to enjoy battles according to the situation in combination with the rules and special effects described above.

Equipment storage pressure problem / Burden of careful selection of equipmentunder consideration

We often hear that equipment storage is overwhelmed, especially from those who are diligent about collecting and carefully selecting equipment. We also hear that equipment selection is fun, but that the time it takes is a heavy burden.

As a solution to both of these problems, we are considering changing the way equipment sub-parameters are expressed. Specifically, here's what we're thinking.

• Sub-parameters of equipment only appear at ★3 or higher.
• When 2* equipment is awakened and becomes 3* equipment, new sub-parameters will appear.
• Sub-parameters that appear at ★3 are at least 2 or more.
• Make it possible to exclude ★3 by batch awakening. (Up to ★2 can be awakened at once anyway)

This is not a decision yet, so if you have any problems like this or that, we would love to hear from you. Please feel free to send us your opinions.

Upcoming NFT SaleFuture Plans

With this version of the blue frame now allowing for inheritance of enhancement values, we will soon be holding our first NFT sale since release. This time, we will target 4 dolls of the Swimsuit series and 2 dolls of the Elegant series, which are late in the season but have appeared since the release.

• Date: To be determined
• Location: On the official website
• Selling method: Gacha method
• Currency: $GEEK / Credit card
• Sale quantity: 1000 pieces (under consideration)

*The initial 36 dolls will also be ejected from the gacha, but only new dolls will be eligible for the Genesis Bonus!
*Contents are being finalized and are subject to change.

GEEK to xGEEK Exchange CampaignFuture Plans

In conjunction with the NFT sale, there will be a GEEK→xGEEK exchange campaign on the official website My Page. During the campaign period, the amount of xGEEK(lite) and ADP for GEEK→xGEEK exchange will be increased. The schedule is planned to be a certain period of time from the start of the NFT sale. We will report separately as soon as the details are finalized.

We also plan to increase the amount of ADP earned by spending xGEEKs (earning) in the game.

In addition, we are also planning to offer a special prize of xGEEK(lite) for those who redeem more than xGEEK(earning) in the game. We are also planning a plan like this, so please look forward to it.

Las Memo merchandise on sale at GEEKunder consideration

Under the surface, we are also quietly promoting the “Let's Increase Usage of GEEKs” project. Currently, the only way to use GEEKs is to convert them to xGEEKs and use them in-game, but we would like to gradually increase the number of ways to use GEEKs. The first project we are planning is “Las Memo Mail Order with GEEK. We plan to make and sell Ras Memo goods, including T-shirts and other items that have been distributed only at events.

We have not yet found a specific date for this project, so we will report on its progress in future letters.

Disclosure of Various Informationunder consideration

We are considering releasing various design information and other information. We have seen that players are verifying various aspects of the game as they play. As a result, it seems that there are many things that cannot be determined if the current behavior is as designed or if it is a bug.

I think that by disclosing various probabilities and calculation formulas, it will help in the strategy and make the verification process smoother. It will also make it easier to create strategy tools and the like. On the other hand, there is a risk of losing the fun of discovery, so we will consider the scope of information to be disclosed as appropriate.

authorisation systemunder consideration

There are many activities and projects that players are voluntarily undertaking in various areas. We are considering the possibility of “officially recognizing” those activities that the management team judges to be beneficial to other players and would like to support, posting them on a special site, and introducing their activities on official X and other sites.

We are planning to allow everyone to submit their activities. We will release information as soon as it is ready, so please stay tuned for further updates.

That's all for this week's release notes.

Thank you so much for your responses to our recent survey on the balance adjustment of training materials. I usually make decisions while worrying with development members, but I was thrilled and reassured to see that there are people who take the game so seriously.

While any decisions I make are my responsibility as producer, I hope to incorporate your opinions in a balanced manner.

If you have any comments or suggestions after playing, or comments on the format of this release note, please feel free to send them to us via the form.

Thank you for your continued support of Las Memo.
