5th Weekly Summary

Apologies for the delay for this week's summary. For those of you in the discord server, you would know that earlier today (or yesterday depending on your timezone) my RPG Maker crashed in the middle of saves, causing the data files to be corrupted. I managed to salvage a few files, but a majority of my last week's work has to be redone. And that's essentially what I've been doing the entire day (even when I was clocking hours at work).  

I've done what I could, but it would probably take me another full day to finish redoing all the lost progress, but here's what's been done so far:  

Bug fixes and changes:  
My beta-testers came in clutch last week and gave a full list of things that can be tweaked, fixed or changed. There are a whole lot of small stuff so I'll lump them together like this.  
- More collision problems detected and fixed.
- Some grammar fixed.
- Some bugs with Asha's quests and requirements to unlock events fixed.
- Side quests (by Goblin) also addressed and fixed (I think so)  

Additions:  
-Route 4 complete.  
-Underground cavern (accessible through route 4) complete.
-Phobos Town exterior is complete.
-Tsareena variant complete and (almost)fully implemented.
-Hidden jungle pathway complete.   

What's next?  
- All art CGs (6 in total)  
- 3rd Gym leader design
- Story events and other quests
- Phobos town interior
- Sprite art for Tsareena and 3rd Gym Leader.  


However, I also have an IMPORTANT question for all of you guys. Currently, I'm working with a moderator to implement a soft level Cap system to keep the game grounded and to help with balancing issues. On the surface, its a good idea HOWEVER, upon testing, it requires a Clean save in order to implement. Would you guys be open to sacrificing your current save file in order for this system to be put in place, or would you rather I not implement it at all? The choice is yours!  


Best regards,
