[Cheritz] Answering Customer Questions regarding the use of A.I. in <The Ssum> Season 2 and More

Hello, this is Cheritz.

Some of the photos of our newest Ssumone, June, have not been polished enough to the game standard, and we will be updating them as soon as possible. We apologize for the disappointment caused by this issue.

On that note, we would like to clarify the topic on the use of A.I. in art in June’s photos.

First of all, we express our sympathies to the fan base who have been worried about the recent issue over the use of A.I. in games and movies, as it has been linked to copyright issues, job security, and more.

As you may have already been aware, <The Ssum> had to showcase an unparalleled amount of text and images to create a long-term romantic experience for you, and in Season 1, we used real-world images and free stock images to achieve the goal. While keeping the subscription price as low as possible in relation to production costs, our team have been working on the game with a limited number of staff to make <The Ssum> viable in the gaming market on its own.

In Season 2, we decided to apply the 2D art style to meet the feedback received by the fan base, we used retouched images sourced by A.I. which got data exclusively from a commercially available sources of packs to avoid any conflict with copyright issues for the art work that do not involve characters’ faces.

It was never the case for our team to replace the art staff with machines, but rather because most illustrators in the game industry have preferences on drawing main character illustrations over backgrounds or objects. For that reason, the art team was more focused on drawing 2023 commemorative artwork for <Mystic Messenger> and SD images on social media. Also, because Cheritz has been running four-day work weeks since the start of 2023, there was an internal consensus to tap into A.I. to balance work and life for staff. There were no cuts or layoffs of art staff for Season 2 projects.

The team feel terrible about unpleasant surprises some of you may have gone through by us not announcing this before the release.

Additionally, we have learned that some of the users feel disappointed that the new character in <The Ssum> has a connection to one of the main characters of <Mystic Messenger>.

The team has been constantly getting requests for 2D-art style images and involvements of <Mystic Messenger> characters, and more text content to <The Ssum> since its release. Our team is aware of the users’ support for <The Ssum>, however, we did not expect the new change would sadden some of our loyal fan base.

We will do our best to make it obvious that the launch of June is not an extension of <Mystic Messenger>, but rather as an extension of the launch of <The Ssum>, where the games from the same company share a universe but are on their own game systems and charms.

In addition to the currently released June, we have a new character currently under development, and we plan to release the rest of Season 1 in 2024 with some of the improvements applied.

We understand this clarification would not satisfy everyone, and we feel awful that these changes made some of you feel disappointed. We will pay close attention to the negative impact that the A.I. has brought to the gaming industry, and we would like to find a viable way to reach out to you through our games.

The team would like to thank you for your continued support of <The Ssum> and other Cheritz games, and we truly appreciate our fans’ feedback.

We hope this announcement has made your heart a little lighter and given you clarity.

 *To clarify rumors about the author of <Mystic Messenger>, please let us address it as well here. The main writer of <Mystic Messenger> is Ms. Ri, the founder of Cheritz, as revealed in the Otakon video. Ms. Ri is also the writer of <Dandelion>, <Nameless>, and is the main writer of <The Ssum> Season 2.

Thank you.

So please, we would like to ask you to give us a little more time.

[The Ssum] What is The Ssum?

Hello, this is Cheritz!

Happy April Fool’s Day! Have you all got a joke to share?

The new title that we announced yesterday was a lie…

… Just kidding! April Fool’s!

Are you waiting for the game that’ll make your daily lives from April 27th onwards more exciting?

Ssumone who wakes me up every morning… Sometimes lovey-dovey, sometimes arguing - a relationship that matures… Secret features that can be discovered as you play…

With our first release, the game holds 200 days worth of real-time content. The story after 200 days will be continuously updated.

For those of you who have played Mystic Messenger, we’re sure you’ll be curious about a lot of things: Will “The Ssum: Forbidden Lab” be an experience as exciting as Mystic Messenger? What kind of game is “The Ssum?” We now reveal our Cheritz Team Diary!

You can catch up on future news through our newly-renovated The Ssum website and social media.

Yes, the game is being released!

Please look forward to upcoming news!

P.S. Today is ZEN’s birthday in Mystic Messenger! (We’re not kidding!) How about visiting Twitter to celebrate his special day?

Thank you.

Best regards, Cheritz.

[The Ssum] Notice on Release of Cheritz’s New Title, ‘The Ssum’

Hello, this is Cheritz.

As spring makes its way with the last day of March, we bring you exciting news!

Four years ago, our experimental game ‘The Ssum’ was soft-launched in selected regions, and it shut down its services after we had collected enough data.

(*Only a few of you will recognize it! 

The opening video we used at the time is available on Youtube)

Uncertain of its official release, The Ssum Project was not canceled, but instead was being developed in secret(?).

After four long, long years…

Finally!

At last!

We are getting ready for its ‘official release!’

The game’s official title is “The Ssum: Forbidden Lab.”

(To find out what the game is really about… please look forward to future news!)

All polished-up for the official launch, The Ssum has gone through countless changes in its original settings, designs and features.

Look at all those changes!

The Ssum: Forbidden Lab will be available on 27th of April, 2022!

Why does it have the name ‘Forbidden Lab’ next to the title?

How will it bring fun and joy to your daily life?

Upcoming news will tell you all about it!

After our soft-launch, too focused on our mission to bring you fun and joy, we have kept you waiting for too long.

We sincerely appreciate your patience and will be back with more information soon!

Thank you.

P.S. Did you know that Seung-hoon Seok, the voice actor of our main character, had an interview with us during The Ssum’s development?

You can watch the interview here.

Best regards,

Cheritz
