changedIn September, I worked on features for the final boss battle, events that take place during the fight, and some post-game bonus content.
changedI really enjoy making final boss battles. You don’t have to worry about what comes after, so you can just go wild with ideas. I plan to make the other two final battles feel equally special, so please stay tuned!
changedAs for the post-game bonus, I created things like an illustration gallery and character profiles. The gallery only includes illustrations that appear in events, so there aren’t any battle backgrounds, but even so, it ended up being around 60 images. While putting it together, I couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional...the realization of just how much artwork has been drawn for the game.
addedFor the character profiles, I also added a few side characters that fans had requested. like Suu’s story and others.
changedNow, let's talk about the release date. We exhibited at an indie game event on October 4–5, and I briefly mentioned it there: we’re aiming for a winter release this year.
changedThere’s still plenty to do—some of the final boss’s skills haven’t been made yet, and balance adjustments are still ahead—but progress toward completion is going steady. Appreciate everyone's patience and please hold on for a little longer.

" It's October." The end of the year is right around the corner. Personally, it still feels like we’re only halfway through... but anyway, here’s a progress report.

Hopefully, by next month’s progress report, I’ll be able to share the exact release date... assuming nothing goes wrong...fingers crossed..
