Added 2024-05-31 04:50:57 +0000 UTC

Hey Patrons,

Compymono here! This month we've been working hard on Nekojishi: Lin & Partners, and Astatos!

Since many things are at an intermediate stage, I'm not quite ready to write up a dedicated background blog on any given topic, so I wanted to give a quick report of what we've been working on this month instead.

Nekojishi: Lin & Partners

Battle system development progress.
- Tweaked the element mechanics, shield breaks, and damage calculations.
- Revised health bar design, designed & implemented new UI sound effects.
- Held internal play-tests of the new mechanics and gathered feedback for next month's tasks.
3D scene progress.
- Revision of the wooden hotel scene to match the interior wall and object size standards set by the later scenes in the production.
2D Battle artwork progress.
Music progress.
- Completed scenario BGM "Tense Theme" (Tentative name).

Astatos

Chapter II story progress.
- Programming for sub-chapter 2-1-2. (incl. CG7, CG8)
- Writing, editing, and translation for Trial 2-1-2.
- Programming for sub-chapter 2-1-3.
- Editing and translation sub-chapter 2-1-4.
- Editing for sub-chapter 2-1-5.
- Sound design for sub-chapters 2-1-1, 2-1-2, and 2-1-3.
Cascade Trial development progress. (More info in this month's Astatos patch notes)
Monthly hero skin artwork progress.

Note: Development on the BEEK 2.0 update is still ongoing, however we had to prioritise some other tasks this month and will get back to it soon.

While the above is a bit more of a technical breakdown than we usually do, I hope it demonstrates how busy we've been lately. We're really appreciative of the support!
