Race Summary
  • Today's race features a new stage again.
  • Results of the race:
  • When looking at Tsugumi, Kanae wondered if he should add Tsugumi's eggplant and pumpkin into the race as well.
Main Summary
  • About this Saturday's gaming stream:
    • Kanae forgot about the fact that only one Animal Crossing: New Horizons island is allowed per Nintendo Switch.
    • He wants to play from scratch but the console he currently has belongs to his older brother, and he doesn't want to delete his island.
    • So he'll be putting off streaming New Horizons until he manages to buy his own Switch, and will be streaming Monster Hunter: Rise instead on the coming Saturday.
  • Kanae worked on the Book of the Cafe combat unit "Mitsumo [BPoHC]" today.
    • He has completed separating its art into parts and turning it into a model, all that's left is to animate it.
Overtime Summary
  • Kanae skimmed through the Pokemon direct that happened that day, which he had forgotten about until it was mentioned in chat.
    • He mentions that he never played Black and White 2.
  • Kanae worked on animating the Mitsumo model.

Continuing on day 9
  • Kanae had Skin Prophecy chosen for him last time.

Race Summary
Main Summary
  • Kanae was apparently working until right before the stream began.
  • About the Monster Hunter Rise stream this Saturday:
    • He notes that he plans to play the game "naked" i.e. without any equipment other than his weapon, perhaps with the exception of Talismans.
    • He adds that he already completed the initial tutorials, so that he can get straight into hunting during the stream.
    • He's thinking of using the hammer.
  • Kanae attempted to resolve a bug during the hour.
    • He still hasn't manage to find the cause, especially because he was so tired he started dozing off midway through.
Overtime Summary
  • Kanae uses a new logo he made for when he goes to the toilet, which says "Toilet Time" (オテアライタイム).
  • He shares his experience and recommendations for catching the new legendary Pokemon released in the Scarlet and Violet DLC.
  • He chats with his viewers about how often they drink.
    • He jokes that he didn't get a driver's licence so that he can never drink and drive.
  • He talks about the upcoming 3-month anniversary.
    • He considers eating something special on stream, and is likely going to play another horror game again as well.
    • When considering what to eat, he shares that he's never eaten McDonald's Japan's time-limited "Teritama" Burger, which has a pork patty with a sweet and sour teriyaki sauce.
    • When he sees that it also has a version with tartar sauce, he decided on trying his first teritama burger during the celebratory stream, since he loves tartar sauce. He does, however, lament how expensive it is.
    • He adds that his favourite McDonald's burger is the Roasted Soy Sauce Double-Thick Beef Burger (炙り醤油風ダブル肉厚ビーフ), previously known as the samurai burger.
    • He considers getting four burgers for the stream, using the celebration as an excuse to be luxurious. Though he does worry that he'll only be able to eat two at most.
  • Kanae managed to figure out the cause of the bug, which was apparently just a minor error in the code.
    • He fixed it and confirmed that everything is working as intended.
  • He notes that once BotC is complete, he'll be able to put the game up during these overtime sections instead of Idle Slayer.

Race Summary

Summary: Answered Marshmallow asks and interacted with chat
  • On yesterday's Monster Hunter Rise stream:
    • Kanae expresses that he does want to stream the game again, perhaps as the next staple game.
    • However, the spot is currently taken up by Lobotomy Corporation and he does want to finish that first.
    • He's wondering whether he should raise his rank off-camera to master rank so that the next stream would be more challenging for him.
  • He asks whether the viewers have a particular (preferably endearing) nickname for him, since he wants to decide on one as well:
    • Personally, he wanted it to include elements from "Tabinoki".
    • Potential nicknames included: Pinocchio (ぴのきお), Kana-kun (かなくん), Kana-chan (かなちゃん) and Tabinoki (9) (旅ノ木(9)).
    • He ultimately gave up on the idea.
  • Next he decided on what to play on the next gaming stream.
    • He decided to play Simple Fish Adventure.
    • He also decided on the horror game to play for the 2-month anniversary.
    • He ended up deciding to play Dark Deception on 18 March, starting from 22:00 (JST).
Games Under Consideration
Under Special Considerations
  • Driven Out: He wants to get the word out about the game, playing the older games made by the same studio is alright too.
  • Simple Fish Adventure (Which he bought on a sale.)
  • Mess Adventures (Similar to I Wanna Be the Guy)
I want to play a Switch game
Horror Games
Kanae wants to decided on one to play on 14th March, in celebration of 2 months since their debut.
Q. How do you distribute your time amongst the various tasks when making a game? E.g. something like 2:2:5:3 for Art:Composing:Programming:Story/Lore/Character design.
(ゲームを作るときに各作業にかかる時間の割合はどのくらいですか?例えば、絵:作曲:プログラミング:ストーリーや世界観、キャラデザ等で2:2:5:3みたいな。)
Kanae thinks that it's quite difficult to give a ratio for it, especially with story/lore. In fact, Kanae has been thinking about the story and lore way before Evanescent Existence and Earthen Miraculous Sword were released. Time spent on creating the story and lore alone probably took him almost 10 years.

Instead, Kanae counts that component as the time it actually takes for him to write up the story, profile, dialogue, etc. for the games. With that in mind, he gives the time spend for each when developing Brilliant Pagoda or Haze Castle:

Music

He remembers it taking an extremely short amount of time, the average was 3 to 4 songs a day. Although not having to come up with new main melodies for the arrangement songs helped save a lot of time. Overall, he believes it took him 2 weeks to make all the songs.

Art

Each character's portraits took him about 4 to 5 hours on average, so it likely took him about a week to do so for every character. Although there is quite a lot of variation from character to character, depending on how complex the design is, with some taking from 8 up to 10 hours. If including the design process as well, it may be more than 5 hours on average.

Programming

This was definitely what took the longest, possibly around 30 to 50 times longer than he spent on the music or art.

Story & Lore (In terms of in-game text)

Despite the immense amount of text in the game, Kanae was actually able to type it all up very smoothly, and the entire process didn't even take a week.

Overall Ratio

Music:Art:Story:Programming = 1:1:1:50

On a side note, the combat units from Book of the Cafe take him about an hour to draft and another to finish up the art. Turing the art into a model and animating it takes another 2 hours. For a total of 4 hours on average, though this of course varies from character to character as well.
Q. (Paraphrased) The asker is moving from their rural home to Sapporo, living alone for the first time in their life. In particular, they're worried about not being able to get used to an environment with so many people, since they feel sick from crowds extremely easily, 30 to 50 people is enough to make them unwell. So they ask Kanae if he had ever felt sick from the crowd, as well as if he's living alone. In the case that he is, the asker would like some advice on that front as well.
Kanae briefly cheers them on and suggests that they can turn their new environment into their motivation to trying out new things.

Kanae doesn't really get sick from crowds, especially since he's been in very crowded places from a very young age and apologises for not being able to empathise with them. He suggests that there's no need to force oneself to get used to the crowds, to make sure to take sufficient breaks whenever they feel sick and try their best to avoid crowds if possible.
Kanae keeps whether he's living alone right now a secret, but does share that he has lived alone before. He mentions that it is a good chance to start new things, but there are also a lot more things you need to pay attention to. In particular, he suggests that one should pay attention to the resources they use, water, gas, electricity, etc. Personally, since everything ultimately shows up in the form of numbers on bills, Kanae finds that game-like and actually thinks it's rather fun.

He suggests getting a pot and an electric kettle, since they're very convenient. Additionally, he suggests an air purifier and an air humidifier, though he stresses that they should definitely avoid vaporizers, since they can be dangerous. Overall, he recommends to not be cheap when it comes to furniture and electronics.
Q. Since you're a gamedev Vtuber, have you ever considered doing something related to game development? Like a stream focused on talking baout your game development or doing a game jam?
(ゲームクリエイターVtuberとのことで、ゲーム開発に感ずる規格は何か考えていますか?ゲーム開発の様子についての雑談やゲームジャムなど。)
Kanae does lament that he can't really show him developing the games, since Len'en is such a story-heavy series. Instead, he considers showing off how he makes the marble race usually.

However, he doesn't really think a creator who dabbles in a little bit of everything can really bring much to the viewers, and that it'd be better to just go to professionals in each field one is interested in instead.
When someone in chat suggested that he can talk about what game development in and of itself is, like what is the most important thing when developing a game, he does agree that it sounds like a good idea, though wonders if a video format with a proper script would be better instead.
When asked about the "Danmaku Beginner's Lessons" videos, Kanae reveals that he later learnt of a similar series of videos already exists where everything mentioned in his video was also mentioned. Thus, though he does want to continue the series, he has for now dropped it in favour of other endeavours.
Other suggestions included a "doodling stream", though Kanae himself admits that he can pretty much only draw character portraits and is a terrible doodler, as well as "danmaku creation stream", an idea that he seems fairly receptive to.

As for a game jam, he does think that sounds fun, but he would much rather focus on Len'en work, so rejects the suggestion for now.
Q. I'm thinking of joining a "free games-only doujin event" with Len'en, but is it alright to put Len'en in that category?
(フリーゲームオンリーの同人イベントに連縁ジャンルで参加したいと考えているのですが、連縁はフリーゲームというくくりで大丈夫でしょうか?)
"It's completely fine!"
Q. I hope you would put the song that played during the 5th anniversary BotC introductory video, "This is Cafe ja nai", into the game!! I really love that song!!
(5周年動画の連縁カフェ紹介映像で流れていた「This is Cafe ja nai」を連縁カフェに実装してほしいです!!この曲大好きです!!)
Kanae thinks that it does sound like a good idea, but honestly has no idea what the song was like anymore and looked for the video to listen to the song. He says that he technically considers it a trailer theme, rather than a BotC theme, but since it was made for the game anyways, he might add it as an alternate song for the cafe whenever he adds a function to change the song playing in the cafe.
He was also suggested to make a playlist system for the cafe, where players can choose several songs to play in a certain order or randomly in their cafe. Kanae agrees that it's a good idea and adds it to his to-do list, though since it isn't a crucial element, it may come in a later update after the full version comes out. However, he does worry about how much space new songs would take up. In fact, he shares that songs taking up so much space is the main reason BotC has to rely on servers to store its resources, even though the songs are already quite severely compressed.
Q. Do you have any games that you find extremely interesting, but are not video games? Personally, I find backgammon quite fun.
(ビデオゲーム以外のゲームというか遊戯で趣味深いと感じるものはありますか?個人的にはバックギャモンが面白いなと思います。)
He hasn't really played many traditional games, but does like them. When tabletop role-playing games were mentioned, he adds that he wants to try them as both the game master and a normal player. He had actually played on once with his friends, but it wasn't proper at all and was just messing about.
Q. The world and story of Len'en is really so interesting and deep that even now I'm enjoying analysing it! And I especially love love LOVE the locations of Len'en!
This is a question about those locations: When coming up with them, do you put in as much consideration as you do with the characters?
Or do you centre on the characters and story and make locations when the need arises?
Thank you!
(連縁の世界観やストーリは本当に面白くて深みがあって今も観察を楽しんでいます!その中で連縁の場所が特に大大だ~い好きです!
それらについての問題だが、場所を考え出す時はキャラクターを作るほどの程配慮しますか?
それともキャラやストーリを中心に考えて必要性があるなら場所を作りますか?
ありがとうございます!
)
Kanae had some trouble interpreting the question, but ultimately landed on answering "whether the setting of Len'en comes first or its characters come first".

He answers that he doesn't really consider the two to be separate things in the first place. In his view, Len'en is "a world with characters in it, and that the characters are a part of the world", in other words, "the world's setting = the characters".
In a sense, one could say that the world is first created and then populated with appropriate characters. Using BPoHC as an example, Kanae had long had the idea of the capital city "Devanagara". Along with the capital, Taira no Fumikado and Oama no Ake no Mitori's setting were also long in his mind. Conversely, while the idea of the Goefu as an organization of the capital had also always existed, its leader, Kaoru Kashiwagi, was never created until he decided to have the Goefu's leader show up as a boss in the game. In cases like Kaoru, characters would be created quite a lot after the location was.
When asked whether this means that the story comes before both the characters for Kanae, he again stresses that the two can't really be separated, as there would be no story without the characters. When creating Len'en, he first considered the idea that space exists, then considered how it was created, what it's like outside of this cosmos and how it all looks like. Then he considered how the world the story takes place on came to be, creating the planet he wanted to story to be on, in this case, basically Earth. There he then landed on Japan, where a lot of people lived, and amongst them characters such as Tsubakura Enraku and Yabusame Houlen had been born (though he quickly takes back the "born" bit, for reasons unclear.) Then he thought of the "natural principle(s)" or "system" that allows Mugenri to exist, though he adds that this may actually be what came first in this thought process. Because of this, Kanae landed on the answer that the story comes before the world and the characters in his creation process.

When asked about how these fundamentals that he came up with were then expanded to give the concrete story we now have, Kanae answers that his case is rather unique, since he had Emergency Everyday to base his story on. He first thought of characters and scenes that he definitely wants to include in the story and made sure to smoothly fuse those into the original framework EmEv had provided. From there he thought of the past of the story as well as its ultimate destination, and fills in the gaps in between as he goes on.
