Producer Corner:

Hello everyone. This past month we are prepping all the materials needed for the next major update, as well as scheduling more voice actings.
While we're doing that, the polishing will continue with more features and balancing. To tell you the truth, testing all these weapons is a little bit tiring.
We also need to push forward with the story. The outline of this game is developed a loooong time ago, but we want to make the atmosphere of this world more compelling, hence all the information in items, weapons, memories etc..
If our calculations are accurate, we have already reached 80K Chinese characters in text, and might be looking at 150K or more in the final game in estimation. More texts mean more translation, more cost, blah blah blah.
No matter how many players are actually interested in these contents, we will strive to deliver what is in our head as much as possible. And to those who does read them, thanks a lot!

Back to this update. There's not much to see this time, since the new Monster Girls (Trust me, next time there will be some MONSTER Girls) are not finished yet and we can't put them in Endless Mode. In fact, the main reason this update exists is one serious bug one of our players triggered.

The new map object, the Sword Mound, will give players a chance to randomly gain or level up a Skill for their weapons, another way to sharpen your arsenals.
We will constantly be balancing the whole game experience, so please feel free to voice your opinions where you can find us.

As always, we appreciate all your support!

製作人的話：

大家好，這個月也依然在準備下個大更新的各個素材，也開始安排了新的配音工作。
然而忙碌的過程中也不忘調整著內容，除了為遊戲的合理性與多變性增加新的元素，同時也要調整技能間各種強弱上的問題，說真的來來去去測試久了真的是有點疲倦。
同時也陸續構思著後續的故事文本，即便我們早已將遊戲大綱完成，但要將遊戲世界觀與故事弄得更加有說服力，撰寫在各種物品與記憶中的訊息，我們也都是很認真的看待。
現在光是目前版本的文字量就已經破8萬（以中文字計算），預期完成版少說會有15萬字以上，說真的字數越多，翻譯的處理上就越費力也越昂貴。
不論實際上有多少玩家在意這些文字內容，但我們仍然會試著將原概念中的整部故事表達好，也很高興一直以來都有仔細看故事的人。

本次的更新新內容不多，新的女怪也還沒處理完，還無法先放進無盡模式讓大家試試，但基於上個版本有難以忽視的Bug，所以還是先出了一個小更新。
而系統上我們做了一個新的地圖物件「劍塚」，玩家若在迷宮找到它，可以無條件的進行一次技能的升級或取得別種技能，增加技能提昇與取得的管道。
整體遊戲體驗與平衡都還會在準備新劇情的途中陸續調整，若有發現任何Bug或不正常的地方，麻煩再跟我們回報。

感謝各位的支持！
