- Hp bar now turns blue on the center UI if you are overhealed

The longer this development goes on, the more stuff I want to add q.q The scope creep is holding a knife to my neck and telling me to add more mechanics… At this point all that’s left to do is complete the classes and Test Session Four is ready for release (Minus figuring out how to fit the map into this <-<)

- Spawnpoints now function, creating your character in a spawnbox before sending you to a random spawn
- Players are now unloaded until they are fully passed the loading screen
- It’s now possible to lock / unlock slots (defaults to unlock rn since I haven’t written the datastore for unlocking yet)
- Dialogue handler now supports cutscenes
- Starting a dialogue now drops your walkspeed to 0 (Might change this if it’s annoying)
- Judge HC swapped with SP2

- Added Fang’s class base

- Reworked damage formula (Might need further balancing but things shouldn’t die in one hit now)
- Tutorial part 1 completed
Everything’s all coming together >:D Judge is complete but might need balance changes when testing finally happens. Thanks alot to @Boi for helping out with VFX again this week. It really inspires me to have someone else to work together with on this passion project. I’ll be writing the tutorial / prequel for the game so that’ll probs take up most of my time next week.

Yayaya, the game’s really coming together! ;v; I’ve also set a fixed deadline for myself, which means TS.4 will release on July 18th! That’s in about a month’s time, where I’ll have to finish the tutorial, complete the map, and change the data store to use profile service… That’ll be enough time :D(Probably).

Good afternoon chat, forums. It’s finally time to tease the release of TS.4. I think the game is in a decent enough spot to prepare for release and to make sure I stop giving into scope creep by adding mechanics that aren’t too essential to gameplay. (Oopsies :3).
TS.4 Will release July 25th, 4 PM EST
About the Luminary Title
You may have noticed the Luminary title that was mentioned in the logs above. This is a title awarded to the first in the leaderboard at the end of the previous test sessions (more from TS.3).
It’s a unique title that can never be obtained again, giving custom effects based on the ARMS that was added. This will continue for TS.4, depending on the ARMS that gets added. Good luck to all the Dealers out there.

First it was deltarune tomorrow
Now it’s ARMS Dealer tomorrow
[0623 - 0629]
- Further map progress
- Completed Leaderboard UI (UI, Handler, and Datastore)
- Completed Player list UI (Replaces the standard playerlist and displays your highest level reached, Title, Slot name, and Player name )
- Titles now function and can be awarded to players (UI updates, Database works now)
- Added Clover to help explain how the leaderboard and Luminary titles work
It’s all mostly backend and UI work this week so I’ll keep this devlog short I’m afraid .3. Also I’ve mistaken the dates and realized that July 27th is actually the Sunday of the week… so the date will move forward to the 25th in order to actually release on the Friday. (I’m going to correct this on previous post so it says 25th now).
With that out of the way, should I post more sneaks over the weeks as the release is coming up?

It’s all mostly map progress for this week ;v; This week was mostly spent going out with friends to celebrate us blowing up the sky, but I was able to squeeze some time in for development! I’ve posted some photos of the fireworks over in the photography thread if anyone wants to see them. All that’s left now is to finish up the map and the last of the class moves and we’re finished >:D. Only 4 more dev logs to go!

Sorry guys, update log will be pushed to Monday as my Internet decided to die. I’m currently freeloading at a McDonald’s to write this message on my phone :{

Wooooo, the map is done! It’s quite big but I hope I can add enough content to make it not feel empty! Time really flies when you’ve been working on on stuff for a while. Sorry about the whole internet thing, it just decided to die for the entire weekend. But that was a curse and blessing in it’s own right, forcing me to work on many dreaded parts of the map. Anyways, with only one more development log to go, the release is coming soon! See you guys again next week :D!

- Map detail tweaks and NPC populating
- Tutorial Map Completed (Not sure if I mentioned this in a previous patch note or not)
- Senbon Heavy and SP1 completed! (SP2 animated)
- Area detail added to ambient areas that describes the zone when you enter an area
Sorry for the lack of updates, I’m currently moving states due to some financial issues that I won’t share here. But all is well :D! I even got to visit our countries’ capital in Washington DC while I was on the moving trip. As always, I love to post my photos in the photography thread for you guys to see 
Also development log stuff with ARMS Dealer will be moved over to the discord since I’ve been doing less of the arcane projects while waiting for full release.
See you guys soon for ARMS Dealer’s release on the 25th!
