Overview[]

Under World

This was the first game developed by a section of Compile Heart called "Makai Ichiban Kan".

Yamamoto Masahiro was in charge of the overal direction of the game, Kei Nanameda was involved with the art, and Satou Tenpei was in charge of composing the music. Other colleagues from PREAPP Partners were also involved but had smaller roles.

The genre in Japanese is 『死に際に想いを託すRPG』, which means "an RPG about entrusting your feelings at the moment of death". Death plays an important role for in this game. It opens up with the main character losing his life to the main antagonist of the named Trillion. According to a reviewer named ginger from 4Gamer.net, it is almost guaranteed that the player will die at least once playing the game "死亡率99%!? あの子もこの子もみんな死ぬ,超絶シビアな育成RPG「魔壊神トリリオン」プレイレポート". 4Gamer.net. 2015-07-18. http://www.4gamer.net/games/251/G025124/20150713019/. Retrieved 2015-07-20. .

System[]

There are two main parts in this game.

Training[]

After he eats a certain amount of the world, Trillion will take a break and the player can train the heroines for a limited amount time.

Battle[]

When the amount of days left to train reaches 0, Trillion awakens and the player has to stop Trillion from reaching the defense line. The player is given 3 chances to battle Trillion for each Overlord, with the exception of the final form and playthroughs where the heroine is killed in one of the first two battles. Pushing Trillion's health to certain transformation values or retreating can be done to forcibly end an encounter.

Outline[]

The Underworld is the name of the world where the game takes place. An evil god, dubbed "Trillion" across realms, descended from the heavens, and wrecks havoc on their world. The main protagonist, Zeabolos, is the ruler of this world and attempts to stop him. Trillion ends up killing his brother, and nearly killing Zeabolos.

Just when he was about to die, Zeabolos hears a mysterious voice that asks if he wants to defeat Trillion in exchange for his soul. Faust put his torn up body together and revives him, but he is no longer king of his world and must pass on to his next of kin, whether they are family or friend. Whoever wants to claim his throne must risk their lives and defeat Trillion to become the next ruler.

Etymology of "Makaishin"[]

Despite Trillion's title being "Makaishin", it is not spelled the same in Japanese way as the setting of the world.

  1. The first Kanji of Makaishin is the 1st Kanji of their world 魔界
  2. The second Kanji is the 2nd Kanji for the word "Destruction" 破壊

In earlier articles featuring this game, the furigana for 破壊の神 (means God of Destruction) has Trillion written beside it. The name of the thing Trillion is destroying is called "Makai". Shin is the suffix to indicate that she is a god.

Makaishin means, God of "Underworld" Destruction.

He was killed in the battle against Trillion, but shortly before his soul joined the dead, he was saved by entering into a contract with the necromancer Faust. Though his body is patched together, losing his powers that he had before, he remains the undisputed leader of the Underworld with overwhelming support from his citizens.

Levia
Japanese voice actress - Imai Asami

The Overlord who holds the Crest of Envy, and Zeabolos’ childhood friend.

She despises Trillion from the bottom of her heart for taking Zeabolos’ life, and that feeling impels her to fight it. When Zeabolos seems to be having a fun conversation with someone else, she will silently radiate intense hostility towards the other person.

Fegor
Japanese voice actress - Tanabe Rui

As Overlord, Ashmedia holds the Crest of Lust.

She calls Zeabolos “little Zeabolos,” and has fun with him in a teasingly seductive fashion.

Ruche
Japanese voice actress - Sakura Ayane

Zeabolos’ niece, Perpell’s older sister, and the Overlord who holds the Crest of Pride.

On September 30, 2013, Idea Factory announced that they are working with PREAPP PARTNERS on a mysterious Vita RPG, contracting Masahiro Yamamoto as the director after he left Nippon Ichi Software around the time The Guided Fate Paradox was released in 2013. PREAPP PARTNERS was founded on March 14, 2013.

During the same time, there was also news about Harusato Akenaga (former president of NIS America, founder of IF International) and some his colleagues leaving the company to form Idea Factory International around the same time. Nippon Ichi Software America has been business partners with Idea Factory of Japan while they were localizing their games and most IF International's employees were formerly from NIS America. Inside Dengeki Playstation vol 577, Idea Factory of Japan thanked Ghostlight and NIS America for making them successful overseas."Dengeki Idea Factory Executive Interview".

Compile Heart announced their new brand called Makai Ichiban Kan on February 9th, 2014 consisting of the greatest video game developers of the Underworld, the 3 main people being Masahiro Yamamoto as the director, Nanameda Kei as the character designer, and Tenpei Sato as the composer.

Original idea[]

The Official Visual Guide for Trillion: God of Destruction reveals several original concepts of the game. Nanameda Kei originally planned to create endearing, lighthearted designs for the characters and scenery but the game went through many different concepts changed several times.

Concept A

Reject_idea_-1 1.png Reject_idea_-1 2.png

The game did not originally take place in the Underworld but it also involved sacrificing the main character's sisters. There used to be 12 unique little sisters and counted from the 1st sister, 2nd, 3rd, etc. Nanameda Kei used designs of the first 3 little sisters through most of his concepts.

Concept B

Reject_idea_-2 1.png Reject_idea_-2 2.png

This concept has more of an Underworld feeling to it and the story revolved heavily around a little mad scientist named Dr. Faust. Her assistant used to be an android maid prior to Mokujin in the current version. Child Faust can be seen inside the official artbook of the game.

Child Faust created her first homunculus, and it was a failed one too. Zeabolos was what she called her first failure and was also the main character for this concept. Despite being a zombie and useless in combat like his final personality, Zeabolos was born as a green Frankenstein and not turned into one.

The rest of the homunculi Child Faust made were all female and she considered them her children. Child Faust considered herself to be Zeabolos' mother and the rest of them were his little sisters. Child Faust has made over 100 homunculi and keeps on going.

Concept C

Reject_idea_-3 1.png Reject_idea_-3 2.png The title of this image is "Chastity School: Virginal x High School (Temp)" Ms. Michiko will be the support character and will train the girls on becoming the hero.


This concept used to have custom characters and characters were able to change their job. They are called "Hero" (blade), "Witch" (magic), "Martial Artist" (fist), and "Assassin" (gun). When they change their job, their costume and weapon also changes.

Concept D

Reject idea Character select.png Reject idea Trillion 1.png Reject idea Trillion 2.png The closest concept to the released game, some of these Trillion Designs can be seen in the official artbook. The game was not a female playable character only game since the concept allowed changing the character's gender with the"Triangle" button.

Nanameda Kei used some concept art of Altis, Belleria, Ryuto, Soul, Supra from the Mugen Souls series for the silhouettes for the temporary screenshots.

Unused title screen.

Trillion: God of Destruction's data files contain a mock title screen that uses a screenshot from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Dawnguard. This title screen can only be seen in the game data and was never used.

Miscellaneous information[]

Not much news about the game was revealed in most of 2014, the gameplay screenshots were difficult to make out what kind of genre the game was. Hot Springs CGs were also made around this time since they were copyrighted in 2014 but the final product of the game left these unvoiced. Trillion: God of Destruction's final product ended up being quite different from it's under-development screenshots.

Despite sounding like a quick development time, the game took a lot longer than its projected completion time. After releasing the original Promotional Video for Trillion: God of Destruction on March 18th, 2014, Compile Heart planned to release the game sometime in 2014 and kept silent about the game until October 2014 when they pushed the date Spring 2015. It had its first release date as May 21st, 2015, and then delayed to July 23rd, 2015.

Many of the games data is based off rouge-like game called Sorcery Saga: Curse of the Great Curry God at one point during it's development and both games include some of the similar mechanics, skill system, and movement controls. Evidence of Sorcery Saga's data files are still evident in the English version of Trillion which contains unused, untranslated Japanese files of that game.
