Thanks to the participation of backers worldwide, the fundraising amount surpassed $100,000 (approximately 130 million won) in less than three days.
To commemorate this, the development team also released a trailer for the ‘Director’s Cut’ version, featuring new direction and music.
Ghibli composer Cécile Corbel participates… A complete dreamlike worldview
The newly released trailer features a new song by composer Cécile Corbel, well known for the music in the Studio Ghibli animation ‘Arrietty’.
Cécile Corbel, an artist beloved worldwide for her distinctive lyrical melodies and emotional musical world, has presented an original song newly composed and personally sung for this title. The development team expects that this will allow them to more effectively convey the mysterious and dreamlike worldview of ‘Tomo: Endless Blue’.
An open-world RPG set in the endless ocean
Tomo: Endless Blue is an open-world voxel RPG set in the vast ocean world of ‘Endless Blue,’ where the mysterious creature ‘Tomo’ lives.
Players can explore the vast ocean, discover various islands, and capture and raise Tomo or embark on adventures with them. Additionally, they will craft houses, vehicles, and various gadgets, engage in real-time combat, and uncover the ancient secrets and history hidden within the Endless Blue.
The game supports both single-player and cooperative play, allowing players to explore the vast ocean alone or with friends and experience various adventures.
Same world, different story… A personalized adventure created by AI
The most significant feature of this work is its dynamic content system utilizing local AI generation technology.
According to the development team, the game maintains a shared worldview while generating different villages, NPCs, quests, cultures, and story structures for each player. This design ensures that even when exploring the same world, each player can experience unique adventures and narratives.
The developers explained that this system would enhance the value of replay while providing the fun of an RPG where new discoveries continue every time.
