Hello Mechanics,
It has already been three months since [D1AL-ogue] was released. Even though some time has passed since the launch, we are incredibly grateful that so many players still consistently enjoy our game and visit Chroma City. Your continuous support is our greatest driving force. To repay your wonderful love, we will continue to do our absolute best.
We are excited to share the May development update for our next title, [D1AL-ogue+].
1. Initial Proposal and Content Plan Confirmed for the Next Project
Confirmed characters, endings, and additional content.
This May, the core planning stage of our next title has been completed. The overall scope has been finalized, including approximately 20 characters, the main storyline's ending, and the new content to be added. From now on, we plan to focus on fleshing out and adding depth to this established framework.
2. What's Been Completed
Character Animations: Starting with our existing characters Pray, Lianne, and Blade, new character animations for Maya and Himiko have been added.

Adding New Characters: Art and pixel work are currently underway for more new characters who will be visiting Chroma City.
New Puzzle Mechanics: We are designing and implementing new puzzle mechanics to make the gameplay even more engaging and fun.
