Hey everyone!

Worked as much as I could through to uh... incident and I'm recovering.

First off, we've got Seras in the game along with our most recently designed Grimnr. You can meet them both in the revised opening. There is still more work to do here, as you'll probably see if you play the current snapshot. But you will get the gist of what we are doing to improve the opening sequences this patch cycle.

Our second major addition is the first iteration of the blacksmith mini-game. I ended up figuring out a way to do something similar to what I had designed on paper. It awards silver based on how well you do and is fully playable.

There is no tutorial for it yet but it should be pretty straight forward. You'll be able to play 6 rounds total. 3 as a practice run on the old swords and 3 with silver on the line!

We are open to some feedback here but we'll probably replace it with our originally envisioned mini-game in a future patch.

We've also begun the larger lore/dialogue/bust update. We've talked a little about this before as far as the busts go and reducing the game's overall filesize. However, since every scene needs to be manually updated we are also going to be revising every line of dialogue in the game to make it all flow better and patch any existing holes.

Full patch notes below!

--

For the next snapshot we'll continue revising the opening sequence of the game as well as giving every line in the game a once over to ensure there are no mishaps with the lore. And we'll finally get the prologue side-quests in for Kazuma and Cross.

Work is also proceeding on the next CG set, the winning sprites from the recent poll, and some more updated maps.
