The patch link in the main post has been updated, as chapter 4 is now done! The island of Alfarro and the third dungeon, the Gale Pyramid, are ready for you to explore! Check the main post for the patch link, and enjoy!

Chapter 5 is gonna be a big one up next, but I’ve got a couple of other immediate commitments to tackle first, so it’ll be a little bit before I get to it. Stay tuned!

After taking a break for some telephone work, we’re back at Dream Spirit, starting with chapter 5’s boat talks.

Hermes makes everybody happier. Even a brooding Lionel can’t resist that smiling face!

:thinking:

I’ve updated the patch folder to push out a quick fix. Cinnacoffee/Solaris pointed out a bug in the Gale Pyramid: a range event that was supposed to be out of bounds was instead covering half the dungeon. Whoops. This has now been fixed, so the Gale Pyramid can be played normally. Sorry for that!

Finished up some odds and ends for post-chapter 4, including the next battle of the shark sidequest. It’s getting a little cramped with all these party members…

With all that done, next up is chapter 5 proper, heading to the big city! I got my work cut out for me here.

Here we go, finally made all the maps for this, so here’s a peek at chapter 5’s big area, Sepelite City!

I really want this city to feel huge, so I used Cynon’s awesome metropolis tileset to make the city span across eight whole maps! Take a gander at these. You’ll be spending a whole week on this island as you explore the city, so get comfortable!

City eventing is underway, and boy, it’s a lot. Over 50 NPCs/visits worth of dialogue, and this is just on the first day of your time in the city! Here’s a little peek at the business district, with various food vendors selling some stat boosting food. I made the first stat booster a cup of coffee due to Quinton’s whole deal, and then the rest of these food items kinda snowballed from there.

I really like what I’m seeing here. :smiley:

I’ve been making steady progress on the city, so here’s a video showing off a bit of exploration, some fancy scenes, and a new party member!

It’s Elias from Four Kings! Remember Elias?… No? Well, he’s happy to be here! There’s another returning character in this video who is less obvious, but probably more beloved.

Did some drawing today, made another CG for another little dinner scene. Obviously I’m nowhere close to being good at drawing, but I think I’ve gotten a bit better.

Beginning day 2 in Sepelite City, look who’s back! Roselyn is not happy to see them.

But with that, we’ve got the whole gang! That’s 16 party members in all.

How’d u get the blue speech bubble, Krash?

It’s just a notation thing in the text editor. Same way you do black text boxes for Fomortiis dialogue in vanilla.

Got it

Day 2 is in progress! Lionel and company, now fully reunited, took a trip to the museum to examine some artefacts. But unbeknownst to our heroes, something is brewing beneath the city…

With the museum tour done, the party goes out into the city to see the sights! Be sure to check in with everybody and see what they’re up to!
