Hey! It's been a little while.

I'm still hard at work, currently designing the final boss fight, which has been pretty extensive and laborious but it's coming along very well!

Another main thing I've been focusing on is visually enhancing/redesigning some areas, for various reasons. I've become a lot more skilled at graphic design and decorations, so I've been trying to make areas look more decorated and varied. I want to try and avoid generic environments such as "fire area" and "ice area," so I felt the way to go about that was to create more decorations and make these areas feel more previously lived in.

Another big reason for all the visual overhauls is that I unfortunately have made the decision to drop depictions of real world cultures As much as I wanted to try and shine some light on underrepresented cultures, I unfortunately don't (currently) speak the languages of people I would need to contact, and as such I decided I didn't want to risk it. I don't doubt my abilities and I haven't been told off by anyone, I just personally don't feel comfortable doing that sorta thing without successfully consulting the people I mean to depict. So now I'm going to try and design these areas around *fictional* cultures that nonetheless take inspiration from the real world.

That's all I have to talk about for now. More updates soon!
