Hi everyone! As we roll towards the end of 2023, the day you can dive into the full version of the game is getting closer and closer! It's been our highlight of the year, knowing that soon you'll be having as much playing the game as we did creating it! First things first, we’re MVP with all the environment art!! That means all the essential parts are drawn, and we're moving on to the polishing phase – a big milestone for us! We're also making strides with the cutscenes in Story Mode, polishing and adding more character portraits. We've kicked off a major polish pass on all the VFX, making everything clearer and giving it that extra punch! Bosses are getting some extra love too, with hand-drawn smear-frames and hand-painted motion blur. It's a game-changer, especially for those quick animations like attacks, where readability gets crystal clear, and animations pack that extra punch! Our Technical Director even took some free time to drop some fan art for the game – a pixel-art reimagining of the Lobby. Go Fight Pixel-art, anyone?

The UI work is also continuing, wrapping up the Forge and everything else that’s been created. Since we're on the brink of 2024, we want to wish you all the best for the upcoming year! May it surprise you with unforgettable titles that stay with you forever! Thanks a bunch, The Dino Team
