On the topic of public demo, I'm in the process of talking with the character coder and game designer to see if she can offload her work to me and apply her massive overhauls to the remaining characters.

I genuinely appreciate your patience and will try to have something ASAP.

I wanted to keep this for the 2nd build, but it's just so damn beautiful and idyllic we might just bite the bullet and add it to the public demo.

There's 2 Kingdom Hearts cameos (well, technically 1, the other is a Final Fantasy cameo using their KH appearance) incoming in the next stage for the 2nd build. Call it a consolation gift for not getting enough hands for character sprites and burning out too quick.

I also worked on some minor UI updates and fixes here and there, and got sprite work done for Hugo, a new stage slated for the next build, and some for Scias.

Thanks for sticking with us, hopefully the next announcement(s) will be us dropping the build.

With that being said, I took the opportunity to do some proactive work. Instead of delaying rollback for the next build, I move all the work done over to the latest nightly build of #IKEMEN-Go, which now has functional rollback thanks to the dev team's effort.

It should be noted that the positions the cameos are in were just to get them in the image; it'll all be positioned properly as the coding work for it is done.
