Hey everyone, Azzy here!

Just wanted to give an update on what's been happening behind the scenes on our end, and on my end specifically. Basically, I've been busy with university finishing... my THESIS! Just recently, it's been accepted and I've submitted the darn thing, but that's been one of the big blockers for me working on Eden's Reach, so I hope to get back into the swing of things in the writing department and spearheading the project. Sorry if this announcement may come as a bit disappointing for you all, but with my thesis done, I can finally devote more time into working on Eden's Reach, and hopefully to increase the frequency of our updates (and more devlogs, of course)~!

In terms of the actual workload of the build itself, build 5 has sadly inherited a fair bit of the density of assets that needed to be made (though not to the degree of build 4). Not only have I been working on mapping out a clear direction of where Eden's Reach is headed, we've been working on a lot of designs for upcoming characters! On top of that, I've only got one more major scene and one last minor scene to write before I submit it for revisions to my editors, so hopefully we can start baking this build in the coming months (though don't take this as me confirming a release date ;-;). Anyway, Tapi and I are here to showcase some teasers for upcoming designs that will be appearing in Build 5 onwards! An extra teaser image can be found in our discord, so feel free to join to gain access to it!

That's all from me, thanks for reading~
