Hello everyone!

How are you guys doing? Hope you guys are doing well!

Thank you for your patience guys, now we're here to deliver the new public and patreon updates to you guys!

First of all, it's our 2nd Anniversary! We want to say thank you for supporting us for 2 years. We wouldn't have gotten this far if it wasn't for you guys. Here's to another good year with you guys! To celebrate, we will be doing something special. We're going to do a raffle! Check out out Twitter tomorrow for the official announcement! There's gonna be a character polls too, so stay tuned!

Now unto the update. What are the changes? Well, first off, since we’ve been revising the story and some visual assets from the start to where we last left off (along with other tidbits), we advise you guys to start a fresh save and play through the game again.

- Sprite Management: As per our sprite overhaul, we added new sprites for Alisa, Max, Ray, Alex and Kody! (We will update the rest of the characters in future updates, so expect others to get a fresh coat of paint as well)

- Battle System: We’ve implemented the bare-bones of our battle system. While it still lacks a lot of polish, as well as the other bells and whistles of a finished product, it is functional with some foundational elements of the gameplay loop. Currently there are two battles added to the story, with more coming in the future. (along with new CGs, too!)

- Build numbering: We're going to update the build number to 1.00. It will mark the game’s 7th day, the finale for Chapter 1. So please make make a new save and enjoy Crystal Coast all over again!

- Extra Stories: For those who likes in-depth lore and would like to experience Arboria even more, there are a series of side stories on our Extra menu! Go check them out!

For Patron Updates, it's gonna be a new week at Crystal Coast! New week, new mechanics. Now players can explore the places with the map function! There's gonna be some free activities for you to do, but only for limited time. So manage your activities well! Focus on what you want to focus on, and you'll do just fine. Max, Alex, Kody, and Ray are wearing something new, so check them out! The new sprites for a couple of characters will be updated next update along with 2 pin-ups, so stay tuned!

That's all for this devlog. Once again, thank you for supporting us all this years. We still have a lot in store, so hopefully you can be with us in the future. Here's to another year with you guys! The announcement for polls and raffle will be announced on our official Twitter and Discord Server, so join us there!

See you guys next devlog!

Sincerely,

Platier
