Trello News
Welcome back to another issue of Odyssey Feed! Weāve hit several milestones recently, both in AO development and in the newspaper. Vetex has accomplished 60/113 goals in his to-do list! However, the remaining tasks will be much harder. Share your thoughts here in this topic by @Ultra.
Also a bit of a short week due to OF coming out super late. However, weāve got some pretty cool news to share with you, even if short. 
Remember the sailboat? Well, thatās what almost all of the news this week is on. Here we go!
The sailboat has been added. Itās stats, behavior, and shipyard UI were also finished. But this is old news, isnāt it? Letās move on 
. The sailboat is now listed in the āShipsā tab of the Shipwright store. Which means theyāre purchasable! Well, maybe not yet. But soon! Also, you can now switch between your owned boats at the Shipwright. It will keep the colors and name, but youāll have to equip your things again. This could be interesting.
Remember the gamepass though, haha. Iām sure it will most likely be cheap. Weāll have to see! 
Also, ship lanterns can now be turned on and off via clicking. 
Itās details like this that really put the immersion factor into the game and make it so great!
Similar to the Ship Lantern detail, we have some more small but cool things. For example, bulk selling has been reoptimized. This was something that might have annoyed several people, but fear no more!
But now for something biggerā¦
See that? Well, thatās pretty coolā¦ More customization! Remember when people were complaining about the lack of boat personality recently? No? Well, they didnātā¦ Anyways, this is what I personally really wanted! Now, we can have different colors for almost every single part of our boat! This will certainly add much more immersion than these boats had before, with every single little bit of love being poured into our new boats. 
The color combos people are gonna make will be insane! Felt this coming, glad that it did.
But did you see what was above that? Sailboats can now be purchased! If I remember, sailboats were pretty expensive in Arcane Adventures if you went off the story alone. Hopefully it will be easier!
We have one more version to cover, that being v1.5.26! Take a look.
First, the sails for our new Sailboat are fully functional! When these are toggled (From a key or a GUI button, the latter most likely) The boat will speed up and move forward, similar to how they did in AA. You can then even exit your captainās seat and do other things like walk around on the boat while itās moving forward.
Hey, remember your boat getting attacked and sunken, then being stranded on Permafrost Island while you wait a million years for it to respawn, or running around trying to scrape up the money to fix it 
?
Well, now that I think of it, that doesnāt really have to do with itā¦ We already covered how the boat will fix itself over time in previous issues, unlike it did in Arcane Adventures.
But, youāve probably had your boat despawn on you before, and that could be annoying when youāre trying to get away from something. They wonāt despawn now unless you die and donāt enter the driving seat for a long time, so you can just hop on in. Even if you die, you can get back to it. Something small but great!
Also, animations for both the wheel and the character when turning your ship have been added. Itās going to look super good, and very dynamic! 
Anyways, thatās it for this week. While some people might not even notice some of the small things Vetex adds, they certainly improve the experience. And some of these big things, like ships, players couldnāt imagine being without. Also, thanks for reading the Odyssey Feed, through our tenth issue.

Forum Topics of the Week
Hereās a quite interesting topic by @anon85429269. Who would win, 1 billion lions, or 1 of every pokemon. Before itās closure, it had 380 replies, and people were getting pretty heated. It was pretty cool to read through and see peopleās opinions with the blurry rules. Who do you think would win? Share in the comments! 
______________________________________________________
And now, for a dose of Arcane Odyssey suggestions. Hereās Bards in Taverns by @Dogleg. Here, we see a new Bard NPC, who can be paid to play music. You can also buy sheet music for instruments. Remember the playable banjo in Arcane Adventures? Me too. No doubt there will be more instruments in AO. It has almost 50 votes, so take a look!
______________________________________________________
Finally, weāll end off with some new music. Forum hasnāt had a lot of music in itās time, but the bit of it has been great. We had music last week as well, but didnāt see it. Oopsy! Anyways, this is the Low Battle Theme Re-orchestration by @Meta. Thereās several different versions for preference. This is a remix made of the Battle Theme. Youāve definitely heard this music a lot , but a remix might freshen things up! Lots of love went here, so check it out!

Art of the Week
This was the hardest art decision Iāve ever had to make, since there was an insane amount of some of the best art Iāve ever seen 
. I have to decide though, so hereās my pick.
Drumroll pleaseā¦ 
You might have already known what was gonna happen here, and it was tough. 
But, hereās a whopping 23 of @Rlkaās World of Magic OCs in a single topic! Every single one has its own image as you can see, made with utmost effort and care. Each represents one of the 23 magics in the game, and they have separate images and descriptions in the topic. Wonderful job!
But, there was just SO much good art this week, that iāll even link some more for you to check out. The art this week was so goodā¦ Hope youāll see it all!

Writing of the Week
Guess what? This was hard to pick too, out of 3 very nice pieces of writing. But hereās what won. Welcome The Perilous Quest by @silveryue. In this short piece, we can see a light wizard fight and win against what we assume to be The Minotaur in a a story filled with blinding detail and quality. Nice job!
