Hello everyball!<\/p>\n

Boi oh boi, do we have something special for you today! The team has been hard at work creating amazing art and we feel like it\u2019s about time to reveal more characters to you! That\u2019s why today we present to you: Filia o\u2019 Marmis<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n(Concept Art by @Nomnomroko<\/a><\/strong>)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Just look at that hair! Filia is warm and gentle fuzzball. She grew up in a big\u2026 BIG family and as a result learned how to care and be patient with people early in her life. She doesn\u2019t do well with silence and will use small talk to fill the void, which will be a perfect contrast to our introverted protagonist. Filia grew up in the same village as Juno, yet their relationship might start off a bit icy. But over the course of the adventure you\u2019ll find that she has much to offer and we hope you\u2019ll learn to love her as much as we do.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all for now, BUT we do plan to slowly reveal more about the setting the game takes place over time soon. Nevertheless, here\u2019s a small teaser:<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth Juno & Filia were chosen by the gods to fulfill a role, but both have been discharged – each for their own reason<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

You interpret that as you see want ;D<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Project Terra Updates<\/h2>\n

Apart from all the nice art, there\u2019s been a lot of progress on the game\u2019s system recently. We made the choice to move away from shadowed text and commit fully to outlined text with an option to toggle the outline whenever we need it. You\u2019ll also be able to switch to a bitmap font as well which is inspired by CrossCode<\/em> but contains various changes to fit the more roundish theme of Project Terra.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We hope this helps those that have trouble reading bitmap fonts for any reason. The system is designed in a way to support virtually any font, allowing us to insert custom dyslexia-friendly font.<\/p>\n

Buffs are back but this time, they play a larger role and are provided to you by a unique cooking system that aims to eliminate the dreaded \u201choarding\u201d issue many RPGs face. Instead of simply buying and hoarding items, buffs and healing options are provided by the food you cook – and will be replaced by the next meal! We\u2019ll talk more about it in a later post but for now, let\u2019s simply enjoy this short clip of Juno using a buff:<\/p>\n

By now we also finalized the design of the HUD in the lower left corner:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The bottom entry represents your \u201chealing item\u201d which receives various buffs based on the meal you consumed. Healing is done over time and you won\u2019t heal after each battle. But you can recharge them at any checkpoint!<\/p>\n

Lachsen has been busy working on the TOP SECRET<\/strong> boss and boy does it look good. We can\u2019t wait to show it off, but we want to save that one for a special occasion. He did however also worked on other enemies and detailing the start of the game so here\u2019s a preview of that for ya:<\/p>\n
