Some Palestra Stuff and Blog Update (Patreon)

The blog was updated with a small mugen update and some information about the current contest.

About Palestra, this week I worked on several different things but I don't have much to show just yet. I mostly worked on preparing Kirito's daily activity, assets and stuff like that.

Kirito's daily activity will be quite straightforward but it's also something that hasn't been done yet.  In Kirito's daily, you will have to fight a group of monsters using the turn by turn combat from RPG Maker, but setting this up was quite complicated as the combat is shared with the contests and we had to fully separate the two. With the help of ThreeClaws, a coder and friend, we were able to make it happen and good news, he did more than help out with the battle system, he also fixed a long standing bug that made the portraits invisible in the menu whenever you switched outfits!

Since the new battle system shows the characters' portraits instead of the characters' faces, I decided to reuse this for the contest too so you will now be able to enjoy the outfits you put on your characters during the contests. I don't have a picture to show that just yet but I will have something next week (We're still adjusting one or two things before we're done with that part).

Speaking of outfits, since Kirito's daily activity will be happening inside a game (the arcade will finally open!), the MC will receive a brand new appearance that will help him fulfill his role of support in combat!

This outfit will be unlockable to be used outside of Kirito's daily activity by participating in said activity, I also plan on adding some variants to it, but I hope you like his more caster-oriented looks!
