I've been a bit all over the place this week, so you'll have to excuse me if I forget something.

But I do know I updated the Encyclopedia to include the latest locations and monsters, along with adding proper profiles for the Eminent Quartet in the journal and updating Tseneria Isle with new assets to make the flora more varied. (Two trees is double the content of just one, you know!)

Another thing I did was tweaking all forms of narrower "bridges" you pass horizontally, as I felt the vast majority of them was aligned by default to make it look like you barely walked across them.
Oh, and some color adjustments to the two checkpoints with Beldorian buildings in them to make those small towers not stand out as much from the rest of the scenery.

That's another Tuesday marked off the chart, but there is one next week too!

I think the worst has past, everyone still with us, we survived another summer!

Deciding to expand upon the cameo and making it more than just one or two lines of dialogue,
I turned it into a sidequest where you'll get to unlock the character as a photoshoot candidate.
I've also playtested the two new areas and fixed some issues I found, along with adding monsters to Everice Lake and doing some minor improvements.

Unless something unexpected happens, it's safe to say the next beta will be out this month!

And that'll be it for today, see you next week!

Not gonna sugar-coat it, the temperature 'effed me up pretty badly as the longer the heat remain, the warmer it'll also get inside...but thankfully, it seems like the weather finally turned towards the end of last weekend and it's getting a bit more manageable.

But I persisted and got some work done with the new adult shops getting NPC's and adding the concept of letting you directly interract with shelves/inventory, allowing for things to be on sale I'd have a really hard time including otherwise, such as...perhaps movies for your own cinema?
I've also been re-visiting LoQOII to remember what kind of personality a certain character had, for a potential cameo.

Anyhoo, that's all for now! See you as always during next Tuesday!

In hindsight, I probably should've taken this past week off, because holy cheese and trocadero has the heat in Sweden been excruciating with no fan or air conditioner at my disposal!
28°C in the shade, which translates to roughly 82,4°F.
People in Spain and other warmer countries are surely shrugging at that and says "That's it...?"
Although, you hardly associate Sweden with that kind of heat, now do you!?

Anyhoo! I powered through some of it and managed to get the adult shop added to Colussia, Kahr and Odidania so far, finding ways of including them to already existing maps without having to create new districts...but that's it, as the Spanish say like established above.

Hopefully I'll have a more productive update for next Tuesday!

Still hammering away over here on Everice Lake and Outlook Hotel.
All the maps and graphical assets are done for both locations and they're fully explorable, only thing missing is still an assortment of NPC's, enemies and treasures.

Additional assets has also been made for the adult shops I mentioned last week.
So even if those end up as nothing, I still have that new content to sprinkle in at other locations!

Been a slow week, but I'll see you against next Tuesday nevertheless!

Everice Lake and Outlook Hotel, those are the names of the two new locations.
The first is almost entirely done while the second still need the interior properly assembled.
Both places needed to get some additional assets created, which slowed down progression.

And since they've been my main focus, I haven't really worked anything on the costume idea I mentioned last week, although it essentially boils down to adult shops that is only open at night, selling the more naughty outfits you can't get by collecting costume fabrics.

So while work continues, I'll see you next week!

Work has continued both in-game and outside of it, uhh...naturally!
The "transition" area ended up being named Everice Lake, and will lead to the eastern region of the Frozen Continent called Eternal Solemn, familiar to those who has talked a lot with Beatrix.
It's graphically done, although I still need to add enemies, treasures, etc.

I've also been working on something else, but I think it's too early to say anything more than that in case it doesn't work out like I'm hoping and have to scrap the idea...it's about costumes, though.
If it does pan out, you can count on me spilling all the details next week!

Speaking of which, that's it for today so I'll see you next Tuesday!
