Hello, and welcome to the July 2022 Progress Report, where we'll go over what happened in July.

The Act 4 Progress Bar is essentially the same. 

Although the finishing touches on that last Sidequest were done!

Now, as for the FINAL Progress...

As stated in the previous Progress Report, our next focus was going to be all the rest of the abilities for the 31 Party Members in the game, and we completely finished that goal in July!

The only moves now left to make in the game are the "Ultimate" moves. Super flashy and powerful moves that require you to put in a little bit of extra effort to unlock.

Those fall under the "Sidequests/Second Quests" section of the Progress bars since the Second Quests are how you unlock those. 

Afterwards, we immediately jumped into "Act 2 Polish".

We started there instead of Act 1 because there's still some necessary art required there for the new dungeon that one of our artists is working on. 

So what exactly goes into this "Polishing?"

Well, the first thing we did is go through Act 2 from start to finish and make a comprehensive list of everything that still needed to be added, as well as new ideas we came up with along the way for things that could be added, removed, or changed. By the end of it we ended up with a nearly 6 hour Act 2 playtime and a 100+ Bulletpoint list of adjustments to make and started doing just that!

Act 2 was first finished in 2020, so it was interesting to go back and really deep dive into it 2 years later. You end up noticing a lot of things you didn't before!

For those interested, the order we'll be tackling these in are Abilities > Act Polishing > Sidequests > Ending & Final Boss > Optional Dungeon > Secret Bosses > Testing & Balancing. 

Anywho, that's pretty much all we have to discuss this month. If you're interested in taking a deeper dive into Act 2 material, we recommend checking out our Progress Reports here on Itch or our Patreon in 2019-2020!
