Time for another NPC to be revealed! Here's the enigmatic Eeker Ambassador, who will be playing a role in the Xaide storyline.

Xaide NPC reveal #4

Time for the fourth NPC to be revealed! Meet the mushroom dude of Xaide, Arthus!

A nervous wreck. Unable to do anything without his love, he exists on the periphery, observing everyone and everything. Always trying to do his best, but fumbling at every step, he means well. Strong heart and values means he never gives up when he puts his mind to something.

Tune in same time next week for the next reveal!

VoidBound - Outfit manager

Hey, guys!

The release is inching closer and closer, being only two weeks away for those among the higher tiers. Other tiers will only have to wait for a couple more days after that, so rest assured, you'll be getting your hands on the newest version soon.

While you wait, take a gander at the outfit manager that we're currently developing. This should make switching outfits way better, as you'll be able to switch to other outfits on specific maps.
