• Added various standing arts, sprites etc. for both bounty targets as well.
• New expression animation system is now functional.

New Lore & Combat-Works:

• Added 14'000 words of new lore encompassing Caly's latest adventures!
• Six new enemies: Three normal and three boss types now stand in Caly's way.
• Fight them all chasing down two new Bounties, one off them featuring alternative ways to complete your missions. Violence or Tact? Choices hold the key!
• Added twelve new and unique enemy skills. Combat with new taunts, debuffs, timers, opportunities based challenges etc. await!

New Mechanic-Works:

• Deployed the alpha version of the Quest Log and implemented the aforementioned new bounty hunt trackers in it as part of initial test line!
• Added Graphics and SFX when accepting, completing or progressing quests.
• Added a highlighting system for dialogues! Players can now distinguish between who is speaking at first glance without the need to memorize character names.
• Testing a new enemy grab mechanic that comes with a CG and a mash mini game!

Deployed Fixes/Changes since Alpha Release:

• Fixed an issue with Quest Log where it wasn't properly tracking and updating Objectives once they were cleared. It is also now correctly categorizing quests under "Completed", once finished.
• Tuko Sin fight re-balanced. He will now fight much more fiercely using multiple skills with buffed dangerous damage output. However, his speed is now nerfed and with careful battlefield preparations and relocation planning, Caly can outplay most of his tricks.
• Fixed a battlefield bug that restricted Caly's movement to forward only for the first two turns after going through the tutorial battle.
