A second tree, with updated water effects.
(Still needs the sea shore stuff, but that will come later.)
I mentioned the sextortion cult within the furry fandom (known as Furry Valley) before.

What you may not know is that they constantly try to suck up new users through deception. To that end, they secretly run a lot of NSFW furry groups.
They're currently doing this on BlueSky. In response to news coverage of furries that helped identify animal abusers in the fandom, they created this sock-puppet to sponge off the search engine interest:
I mentioned a while ago that I've started an RPG Maker MZ project in April.

I should have a demo out eventually, but for now, I'd like to share a (very early development) preview of the intro scene of the game.
In the final cut, I want to pace it out a bit better with visuals.
But for now, this should serve a good intro to the world I'm building, and the story that's being told.
That's cool and all, but there's more.
Side-quests and community-focused decisions will reward special items that give passive bonuses to your whole party, just by being in your inventory. (Each type has a maximum stack of 255, currently.)
This is meant to incentivize story exploration over mindless EXP grinding.
You might be wondering: "What the heck is Fundament?"
That's the fundamentals of magic, not an element. Leveling it up will not teach you useful spells, but it will unlock new passive skills.
Passive skills are unlocked per character, and can be freely equipped/unequipped to suit custom builds.
OK, I mentioned some character progression stuff, right?
You'll be able to equip a secondary class that corresponds to different magical elements. This is called an Affinity.
Having a higher level affinity equipped gives you bonuses (which increase with its level), but the main thing is that you learn magic spells as you level up your affinity. These spells stay with you even if you unequip it.
Each character will have unique skills that they can develop (which is what AP is spent on). Most of these skills require knowledge of specific magic spells in order to be eligible to acquire them.
You start off without magic. Early in the story, each party member will begin with their own individual Affinity. After the story opens up a bit, you will be able to change Affinity on command. As you progress the main story, new affinities will be unlocked.
