News — Next Region and Announcments!

Hey everyone!

The results are in, and we now know where the story is heading after Ionia.

After a vote among our Diamond+ supporters, the next major region will be…

🏰 Demacia!

We’ll be doing another poll in the future to help determine which main heroines will take the spotlight once we arrive there. There’s still plenty to figure out before then, though.

For now, our focus is firmly on v0.1.7, which will bring the Ionia chapter closer to its conclusion.

And… apparently, we got a little too lucky with our timing...

We’ve barely started development and already have two unexpected things to deal with:

💻 Cheem's computer decided to give up.

She’s working on getting it fixed, but until then, she won’t be able to work on backgrounds. Thankfully, the issue seems to be repairable, so we’re hoping she’ll be back up and running soon.

🎨 Dove had surgery.

The good news is that the surgery appears to have been successful, and we’re very happy about that! ❤️ He’ll need some time to recover, though, and we expect he won’t be able to draw for roughly two weeks.

Obviously, neither of these are ideal ways to start an update, but real life happens. Still, Doctor and Necro will continue working with the script and establishing the update flow in the meantime.

Thank you for your patience and support. We’ll keep you updated as v0.1.7 progresses!
