Did you know; Exactly one year ago, it was May the 27th!?

All five sidequests including the core "The Eminent Quartet" one is completed.
They just need some minor adjustments, along with the aftermath of finishing the whole set.
Everything regarding "Sin Swallows" is also now in the game, this being her pixel model, the two movies you can catch at the cinemas during daytime, and her outfit you'll automatically unlock after finishing the Duchess Mansion arc.
Of course, if you've already done that and reached the end of the previous beta, the outfit will be waiting for you in the costume selection screen for the appropriate character.

Speaking of betas, I'm still unsure when I'll be releasing the next one.
I don't know if there is enough time to get everything done with placeholders by the end of the week, so it's more likely this will be one of those rare early-in-the-month releases for June instead.

So with that, I'll be back again next Tuesday!

Day 20, Week 20 of Year 20...25? Coincidence? I think not!

While progress on the "The Eminent Quartet" has progressed, I decided to split it up into five different sidequests with the mentioned kinda being the one bringing them all together.
But mostly they are split up, giving each of the eminent four their own sidequest, so you can easier track which ones you've already approached and/or completed.
Out of the five, two are in progress, another two are finished, and the last one is still waiting.

I would like to say a new beta is being released this month, although even if I finished all five sidequests before the end of the month, there are too many placeholders currently waiting to be replaced with finished versions than I'd like...we'll see how it goes!

Until that time, I'll be around again next week as always!

Tuesday the 13th!? Oh no, that means it's...uhh, a perfectly normal day!

Unless I missed or forgot something, all the work required for the additional costumes should be done by now and I also fixed a handful of maps I somehow overlooked earlier.
But the main work has been on a new side-quest called "The Eminent Quartet" which ties together with all the new assets and pixel animations I reported on making last month or so.
I'm not sure how much I should detail without spoiling it, hmm...let's just say it only triggers after you've captured enough monsters during expeditions using your army.

While work on that continues, I'll see you next week!

The work on tweeking the maps concluded early last week.
Ever since, I've been doing a little bit of here, and a little bit of there.
Some bug fixes, preparing a new enemy, alongside a legendary, but mostly focusing on adding a couple of new costumes for a few characters and updating their wardrobe selection screen.
Which means the Sin Swallows outfit will be available in the next beta!

I don't think there was anything else to share, so I'll see you again next Tuesday!
