Hey, everyone! It's that time again!
This week we have a concept sketch for the character Faraja. As closed beta testers have noticed, she doesn't have her own graphics in-game yet, but they are coming, and will hopefully be added in the next big update! :)
As always, stay healthy!

Greetings once again, our dear patrons!
Now that Aden has been redesigned, we can finally work in some of the CGs we've had planned to do for her! This sketch is one that Kendrian has started working on for one of the chapters that were added recently, featuring Seles being just a little bit more rough with Aden than what's strictly necessary...or is it?
As always, stay health...

Hello everyone!
This week, instead of a visual screenshot, we have a more audible one! This soundtrack was composed by our weaselxr for one of the bigger towns in the game. He's been working very hard lately to help make sure we end up with only using original music in the game.
Hope you like it! :)

Season's greetings to you all!
This week we have a bit of a technical screenshot for you, showing a feature that several people have asked for, implemented by our Pwa. That feature is remappable keybindings, meaning the game will let you choose what buttons do what. Pwa has informed me that this might not be how it ends up looking, but it is currently functional at the very least :)...

Looks like last week went by a bit fast, and we didn't get to upload a screenshot then, so instead you get two this week! :)
The first one is of a bestiary/enemy menu we have worked on. People have been asking for this for a while, along with a way to view the tied enemies in a higher resolution, and this menu lets you do just that! By selecting an enemy on th...

Aaanyway, this week we thought we'd show the completed results of what Ken was working on during our public dev stream last month! This is pretty self-explanatory, and it's intended as a game over CG.

Hello everyone!
For this week's screenshot, something spooky! O_o
This is some concept art that one of our artists has been working on for one of the villains. He's one of the creepier ones, so we thought he would be a good choice to show off today!

Hello everyone!
This week we have a small sneak peak at some redesigns for Aden. We decided we wanted to give her a makeover since her current design is not our favorite. This is of course still subject to change!
Hope you like it!

Hello everyone!
For this week's screenshot, our friend Mr. Generic City Guard has gotten a makeover! Just in case anyone was worrying that we weren't paying enough attention to the guys in this game. And don't worry ladies, he's very handsome under that helmet, probably.
Hope you enjoy!

Hello all!
For this week's screenshot we have some more WIP battlers to show off! Like we've said before, we're aiming to have as much variety as possible for our enemies, so we've been working on a couple different flavors of pirates and bandits, since they're pretty common to find at the moment.
Hope you enjoy!

As a quick aside, I just want to let everyone know that the reports are going to be scheduled for every other Friday from now on rather than every other Monday, just because of some personal scheduling stuff.

The different crystals promote different strategies, so s...
