2. New game UI implementation – in progress
– Optimization: We are optimizing the system for a smooth and better-looking UI.
– Guild function: as the new game UI is implemented, the team improves some guild functions such as guild management, search, etc.
Currently, the team is working on the game engine and the UI. After the UI, we start with the other features.
Art Team
We are not working with the upcoming contents only, but we also create some assets for a future update.
1. 3D & Animation
– some animals and monsters have been created.
And a letter box with Apollo the post owl.
Apollo is cute!
2. Concept art

… secret. Yeah, a reindeer. Thanks, Alice…
The team will be working hard! See you in the next feedback.
Game design team
The team is focusing on remaking the old systems, especially the game balance.
1. Game balance – in progress
– Character: We are making improvements on the Mastery system and thinking about the balance in the new combat system.
– Economy: The team is working on improvements to the game economy so that the flow of "money" will be smooth
2. Guide/Quest system – in progress
– Tutorial/Guide system: The tutorial will tell you how to settle in the World. A new player could easily start a new life.
– Mastery guide: detailed tasks will improve the system; mastery information, UI, etc.
The team keeps working on the improvements.
Note:
- The tasks we are currently working on will not be added at once. Most of them are released with the upcoming PTR update, but the rest of them will be introduced in the future updates.
- The contents/plan could be changed during development. If any unexpected issue were found, the contents/feature would be paused temporarily or even dropped.
