Hey guys, It's me, Newi. I’m back after 65 years.

Sorry for not making any devlogs for a couple months there, I needed to take a step back from them for a bit but we’re good now and ready to show off more stuff.

Don’t have much to say so let’s just get right into it!

NEW OWNERSHIP

As said in the title, I have some new info I want to share about ownership going forward.

@Superboi0119 has officially stepped down, although he’ll still be on the development team.

In his place the new co-owners and their jobs are:

@JJDude - Task assigner/Team organizer - Works to help the team know what to do

Blurazzberri - Music/writing lead - Writing the main story’s plot and music guidelines [many of the tracks in game are composed by him, along with story elements]

@Newi - Social Media Manager - I manage gamejolt, bluesky, youtube, twitter, & more, woah!

We’ve been working on a new plan for development to help speed things up more, but things are still moving along well. Even if it takes forever, the demo will be out someday!

SPRITING:

Over the last month, we’ve got some pretty decent progress on spriting, with nearly all the classmate sprites except for one being decided on and implemented, here’s Noelle!

It took a long time to pin down, but we’ve finally agreed on a design everyone is happy with.

Along with that, more work on the legend has been done! Take a look!

[These were some of the only panels I could post without any sort of spoilers!!]

ART:

Not too much to report on in the art section currently, in the meantime here’s the background I put together for this month’s devlog!

[Shocker!]

WRITING:

Writing’s been locked down on a lot more for some characters, here’s an example:

(writing by @zafall167 )

We’re still working on battle dialogue, but progress is progress nonetheless!

CODING:

Coding’s been going pretty well, while pan and zem have been working on further sections, I’ve been working on learning how to code cutscenes, and it’s been going pretty well!

As for their work, they’ve been doing a lot more in castle town coding-wise.

[These aren’t accurate to how it will be in game, just tests]

MUSIC:

Music has gotten an insane turnaround and is now one of our most completed aspects, with a huge thanks going out to blurazzberri for all the composing he’s done for the project!!

As for songs completed, I will say a very important battle theme was finished, but it’s a long ways away from being playable currently. As for tracks you can hear…

“Only WE can bring back the HOPE that the people yearn for.”

“Only WE can seal the fountains”

“And banish the ANGEL'S HEAVEN.”

“Only then, may MOTHER EARTH breath again...”

CLOSER:

Clearly a lot has been finished in the past month, and I’m excited to show you what comes next in the future!!!- Newi
