The actual process of converting HD materials into high-definition materials

In a 2023 interview, Hirokazu Koyama said that before making the HD version of "Night of the Ancient Magus," he worried that a large number of images would need to be categorized and magnified individually; The actual conversion process can be processed in batches, without the anticipated sheet-by-sheet sorting work.

Limited corrections and consistency in art style

Faced with images drawn more than ten years ago, Koyama had many things she wanted to change, but due to limited time and resources, she only made minor adjustments to the necessary parts. He believed that creating a different art style would ruin the overall feel, so he tried to make the corrections as inconspicuous as possible.

How the key animation and script are corrected together

In a 2012 interview, Koyama recalled that Aoko needed to show the flaws unique to high school age; Youzhu may seem expressionless, but it makes differential drawing even more difficult. After Nasu explained that she still retained her youthful side, he finally found the direction of her expression. Kusajūrō underwent another round of negotiation: Koyama insisted on the image formed from reading the original novel and insisted on preserving some of the original descriptions; Nasu also pointed out that some expressions needed to be more rugged, ultimately blending the old and new images.

Participated in the storyboard discussion for Tsukihime R

A 2021 production review notes that during the overall outline phase, Tsukihime R arranged storyboards and CG resources, Takeuchi drew the flow, Koyama and BLACK proposed ideas, and then cut them down to the planned number of copies; When event CG was limited, the team supported the performance with richer facial expressions.

Expression and material handover for Magician's Night

Nasu requested a special screen for the expression during Chapter 13, when Yu Ju saw her off, and Koyama created material for this to appear only briefly. After the script was assembled, he kept redrawing scenes that didn't fit his original expressions.

In the later stages of production, he frequently traveled back and forth with Tsukuri Moji, often preparing reusable full-length paintings and silhouettes for performance combinations, rather than fixing compositions for a single scene.

According to Nasu and Koyama's recollections, the console port schedule for "Night of the Ancient Witch" began around 2018. Its personnel are shared with 'Tsukihime R', so it does not progress continuously during the entire waiting period.
