What part of the game are you most proud of in TurretGirls?

At NANAIRO ENTERPRISE, we specialize in creating female characters who are both cute and cool. We devoted the most time to the protagonist, Girl, making sure she would be a character players could truly love. We fine-tuned her right up until release.

On top of that, we put a lot of thought into how to include tasteful, lighthearted “gentlemanly” accents for our audience. In fact, the final stage of the Tear-Away Uniform Cut-in scene pushed forward full throttle!

Of course, gameplay was equally important to us. We challenged ourselves more than ever before to make sure it’s genuinely fun. Balancing was tough, but we feel the end result delivers moments of real exhilaration once you push through the challenge.

What do you most want players to experience in TurretGirls?

TurretGirls is a wholesome game at its core, and we’d love for players to enjoy the strategy of deciding which equipment to purchase from limited supplies, where to place Generators, and when to make those key decisions during battle. Sometimes you may even need to rush in and protect a Generator at the cost of taking damage. But don’t worry, the Tear-Away Uniform will keep Girl safe, so you can dive into the action with confidence.

Even if the the game feels tough at first, your Turrets grow stronger the more you use them. We encourage players to keep challenging themselves and not give up. The satisfaction of overcoming it is worth it!

Are there any unique episodes from development?

Since we’re an indie team, not everyone is a specialist in a single field. For example, Girl’s dialogue was actually written by someone who normally doesn’t do that kind of work.

We were fortunate to have Ms. Emi Uema join as the voice actress, but before recording, we honestly weren’t sure if our lines were good enough. Once her performance was implemented, though, we couldn’t believe the quality. We thought, “Wow, maybe we’re geniuses after all! (laughs)” It really showed us just how incredible professional voice actors are.

Normally, in the final stages of development, you wouldn’t add new content beyond bug fixes. But we came up with some adjustments for the Tear-Away Uniform Cut-in scene that we thought would make it even more fun for players.

Comment to Players

Thank you so much for picking up TurretGirls.

We at NANAIRO ENTERPRISE are a team of developers who have survived on the fringes of the game industry, like hardy weeds. We may be an eccentric bunch, but we’re proud to finally release a title full of our unique style, and it means a lot if you add it to your library.

This is a ‘gentleman’s game’, a genre that has faced tough times recently. We’re truly grateful for the chance to release it, and we believe we’ve delivered it in the best form possible for where we are now.

We still have many ideas we’d like to try, so we’d be delighted if you continue to support us!
