Update 4/2022

# **Weekly Update 4/2022**

Well hello there, it's good to see you. We've got another sick nasty update for you this week which includes lots of new builds, some polish for existing builds, and some new features! If any of that sounds good to you then you're the kind of person that I like and we can be friends, if you want. Would you like that - I sure would... but even if you don't there's a little something for everyone in this update so go ahead and grab my hand and I'll give you a tour of all the land!

## 🌐**World**

Psynexus: I jumped around like a kid without his Ritalin this week, focusing on finishing up some re-working of an old area that hasn't been touched since basically the beginning of the server. I've grown a lot since then, and so has the team - so I figured I'd do everyone a solid and give it some love. The area I focused on the most was Sidonia and the surrounding areas as they relate to The Tale of Sir Winter. I'm very proud of the expanded region that I started from scratch as well as the polish that Sidonia itself got. In addition to that, I also decided to touch up some areas around Charselor for some upcoming work - and even Charselor itself. The detail just keeps getting better and better, and I think I've almost gotten to the point where I can't add anything more without it seeming out of place or unnecessary - so look forward to that! :)

## ⌨️**Development**

Adobo: Hello all, the ball has been rolling and doesn't look like its slowing. This week in Itemization, the class items/armors have been retextured, rebalanced and given tiers. There is now another tier of Gems (**Greater Gems**) with crafting recipes for each. The repair system has been started and is in a place where its usable by players. All items are one of 4 types (**Wood, Metal, Leather, Magic**) that require the same type of repair item to fix them. I didn't get a chance to start on the Subclasses yet but I plan to work on those after adding tiers to all items besides the class items, success/fail rates to gems, and introducing the elemental damage system to classes other than Mage. Until next week!

Sparklepony12: Hey, this week I have slowly been recovering from my sicknesses and starting to slowly get back into server projects. This week I haven't been working much on the game development with the only progress in the quest being made today and the rest of the week as been helping with discord. I managed to solve a few problems and set up some embeds in the server to help with new members and future server endeavours. At the moment I am planning to get the current quest in development out before the next update and have more of the Aldersley content ready and set for testing. I hope to be starting everything back up again getting more of the quests out and ready to play, see you all next week for the update :D

## 🔧**Moderation**

BuiBui: Hey all, this week we didn’t gain 100 new followers on IG, but we are going to start working on making reels and/or tiktoks to increase interest.

The server is getting slightly revamped along with new channels: Welcome, FAQ, and Application. There is a new welcome feature for members joining the server with Carl-Bot. Hopefully next week we continue to see more members utilize these features.

## 🎨**Art**

Rose: Hello again and happy Friday! This week didn't yield quite as much as I had hoped, was dealing with sickness throughout, but I am happy to report
the completion of yet another model and texture based off the Evoker in the form of a High Elf Lady. I did a lot of playing around with and modifying the model itself, until I finally was satisfied with how it looks. Still testing in-game to get the texture to render correctly. This next week I hope to start working on block textures, specifically making a polished Diorite texture along with an arrow loop. See you at next week's update, hope you all have a fun weekend and until then, "If cauliflower can become pizza... You, my friend, can become anything!"

## ⏭**Next Week**

We all managed to make the meeting together this week for the first time so we used the time to talk about how we've been doing so far and plan ahead for next week. The bar is set pretty high, but I have no doubt we'll be able to smash it and maybe even surpass it. Be sure to let us know how we're doing and blow up those channels - and don't forget to follow us on IG: https://www.instagram.com/paryllyx/.

Have a great week and stay cool!
