Hello there! Here is this week's progress:
As you can see, the exact progress amount is a little bit hazy, it's around 60% but I don't know the exact number, so I left it as 60ish% haha.
A new more precise number will probably be available next week.
I also updated the progress tasks by putting some small gears on the ones that are currently being developed. (They look like yellow flowers though)
News and Announcements
Using A.I. to speed up development
We are currently experimenting with the Stable Diffusion, which is an AI that is capable of generating images based on text or image prompts.
The technology has advanced a whole lot and it is even capable of generating competent and coherent game art! Of course, any art created by the A.I. need to be tuned and refined, several times, but it still helps to speed up the 2D art creation quite a bit.
This Undead summon right here was created by using Stable Diffusion!
I'll post a video (maybe a Wednesday Devsnippet, maybe something else) perhaps this week showing how it was made from scratch.
Upgrade Creation Event
I am holding a small event on our Discord where we take new Upgrade Crystal suggestions by the community and implement them into the game!
We'll be implementing around 3 new upgrades created by the community into the game, I select the ones that I think are fitting and use a spinning wheel to decide which ones end up in the final build.
This one was been inspired by our community member and dear friend Binho. We are still accepting submissions, so if you have ideas for new upgrade crystals, feel free to post it on our Discord!

Progress In-Game
The previously shown Snatcher Shop has finally been finished, however I have not yet started the last Tower Event remaining, which is a card shuffle event of sorts.
Besides that, that Undead summon shown before was also added, alongside the new Toll Crystal designed by Binho.
I wasn't able to do much else this week but hopefully we'll get to our milestone goal by the next month.
Plans and Wrapping Up
This update was shorter than usual, but I decided to keep doing those consistently anyway.
My plans for this week is to finish the last Tower Event (the card shuffle one) and maybe resume the development of the new clan orbs and artifacts that are almost finished as well.
This week we'll also have a new Wednesday Devsnippet so remember to check out and subscribe to our Youtube Channel if you haven't done that yet.
See you next week!
