Ohhh it's time!!! Player time! Those abilities look cool as heck. I'll probably start a new file just to see all the new story dialogue

Thank you for the kind words as always! I tried to do something unique for the kit of this class that reflects the player's relationship to the rest of the party.

Hello, dreamers! Today’s major update is packing!

First, a new main quest area sees its release in the Desert! Crawling with ancient foes defending Maisha’s domain, this is the toughest main quest area yet! We’ve also added more main quest dialogue to the Forest and Mountain area!

Second, several additions and adjustments have been made to equipment types! Notably, weapons now can drop with beneficial prefixes, the socket system has been reworked for a more enjoyable gameplay loop, and tracking socket pieces on equipment has been made easier than ever! To further heighten the importance of gear in general, all playable characters have their HP, ATK and DEF values rebalanced, with a slight shift downwards overall.

Finally, we are adding support for fashion items! Stay tuned for the release of character skins in the near future!

Let’s open an official Discord for the game! Feel free to join and discuss among yourselves or with the developer!

Developer Notes – July 2021
Hello, dreamers! It is time for another round of developer notes! What’s in store for the game next? Find out below!

Summer Reiketsu
Everyone’s favorite artist is hard at work at bringing Summer Reiketsu to life! This breezy new Summer skin for our deadly assassin will make it in time for the next update!

New Area: Sanctum
The journey to Maisha’s domain comes to an end as our heroes breach the interdimensional sanctum of the goddess of life! Guarded by Eastern-inspired foes and less than amused by the disturbance of her peace, will she lend her aid to our heroes?

Ancient Cube
Thus far, there is no way of levelling the abilities of the Player class. This will change with the introduction of Ancient Cubes, a rare item that allows you to level one of their abilities of your choosing. That makes twenty Ancient Cubes in total, and they will be scattered all over! In order to use an Ancient Cube, visit the new memorial after the Player class has been unlocked. There, your character will take a moment to tell his past comrades of your new journey.

Thank you, Mimi! It's been a long time coming indeed! I am still improving the game based on the many new feedback coming in, but reviews by players are glowing and I couldn't be happier!

My only regret is being unable to join your recent dev streams due to time zones and responsibilities. I do watch the vods though to see your progress with CoO!
