WELCOME TO THE SECOND/THIRD AQUATALE DEVLOG.
--------------------
THE EASTER STUFF.
--------------------
This devlog was originally inteaded to be released on Easter, although sadly we didn't have what we needed to post it, so it was delayed and posted at the end of April
Because of that, We have an entire section relating to the content of the Easter Devlog, so let's have a look!
We have yet to mention, but Boris has parents!
They both play a major part is in later half of Chapter 1, So here's their designs.
MAPUS
---------
Age - 41.
Appears in - Chapter 1
Pronouns - He/Him. (Male)
Monster Type - Bunny. (Grass-Power Type)
Sprite by - MythHead.
Character by - Protonoobut.
INFO
---------
Mapus is Boris's father and the second-in-command at The Bunny Village, a tight-knit, kind-hearted community at the edge of the Swamp. But don’t expect him to stay put or act like some high-and-mighty chief. Mapus is a wanderer at heart! He spends most of his time traveling the Swamp, trading with passersby and spreading good vibes wherever he goes. With a huge backpack stuffed with trinkets, supplies, and oddities, he’s got just about anything you could need. Friendly, helpful, and full of items, Mapus is the kind of leader who guides by doing, not by giving orders.

LEINA
---------
Age - 40.
Appears in - Chapter 1
Pronouns - She/Her. (Female)
Monster Type - Bunny. (Lightning-Power Type + Boss Monster)
Sprite by - MythHead, ec_id_a, and Protonoobut.
Character by - Protonoobut.
INFO
---------
Leina is Boris’s mother and the leader of The Bunny Village. Unlike Mapus, who’s often off on his swamp-side adventures, Leina stays grounded. she’s a true protector at heart. While Mapus ensures everyone is happy, Leina ensures everyone is safe. Armed with her trusty lightning spear, she stands at the front lines when danger approaches, defending her people with sharp instincts and sharper aim. She’s fiercely devoted to her community, maintaining stability and order with a firm but fair hand. Strong, wise, and endlessly caring, Leina is both a dependable leader and a loving mother.

We hope you like and enjoy Mapus and Leina's characters and look forward to seeing them!
Speaking of "The Bunny Village"
Sadly, We do not have anything to show for it yet, Although we do have some information!
The Bunny Village is the final area in the Swamp before Hazel and Boris move onto Chapter 2, It's a warm and cosy community of... Bunnies! The NPCs we showed off in the first devlog are actually NPCs for The Bunny Village (Because they're bunnies :3)
...That's all... How sad...
We also have causel non-armoured sprites for Levin & Edith when they're at The Bunny Village!
That's all for The Easter Stuff, Onto the Non-Easter Stuff!
--------------------
THE OTHER STUFF
WE HAVE A FULL SET OF BUTTONS FOR THE BATTLE UI!!!
Have a look.
These buttons are done by @MythHeadTN1TF 
and @ThatLazyFreak 
We also have a MP Bar! (The Numbers are not done yet)
We have 3 of the Enemies of the Swamp done, Have a look!
SWAMP FROGGIT
(Sprite by @ec_id_a 
)
LUZZEN
(Sprite by @ec_id_a & @protonoobut 
)
SLYME (A UTC Classic!)
(Sprite by @L8TAT8W8 
)
We have a couple of dialouge sprites for Hazel! We've already shown them before but it feels right to add them here
There is still obviously many expresions we haven't made yet, But still cool that we got something! (The dialouge sprites are done by @ec_id_a )
I (MythHeadTN1TF) have started to work on the tileset for the Swamp (Chapter 1)
Here's a preview (Keep in mind, things are work in progress and can possibly be changed.)
(Grass spikes by @ec_id_a , everything else by Me, inspired by the Waterfall tileset)
Sadly, @ThatLazyFreak has left the team (although she is working on one last thing) but thankfully as you've seen, we have a new team member and artist, @FireQueen_3003 !
They don't use GameJolt so you won't find anything of theirs on here, But yeah, They're cool, They're apart of the team, and They drew the Devlog Image and the art of Mapus and Leina
Anyways here's a bunch of... stuff @protonoobut drew.. I guess...
And now we have the greatest moment in history
We have one final thing...
The first slide for the Introduction of AquaTale! (Drawn by @ThatLazyFreak and edited by @MythHeadTN1TF )
We also have the OST that goes along side it, but we'll release that one the Introduction to AquaTale is released.
Thank you for reading this devlog! The introduction should be finished and ready to come out soon so be ready for that
