Though many were tragically lost in Providence’s third expedition to the Void to uncover what happened to Emperor Balin Sketch, they did not die in vain.
Harbinger DI made a wish to bring the Dragons back from the Void where they had been imprisoned.
The Dragons have returned to Rhyst although still trapped within their eerie green prison resembling a moon.
When the Viridian Moon shines over Rhyst, the plane is temporarily bathed in a ghostly light. This harms extraplanars, Touched, Umbra, and Anima.

The Highshield Tournament
Some of your local Rhystians sent word to Highshield that Sarea was struggling with its battle against the Void and Faewild. While we aren't sure how they were convinced, what we are sure of is that they've since sent notice that they'll indeed be providing us with aid in the coming years! Before their secrets can be shared with us, though, they've expressed a desire to see the worthiness of our peoples in the form of a tournament that they'll sponsor.
Harbinger Pascha Pavlova and Archbishop Drahcir Aurelius came in first and second place, while the strange Chu Mahn took third. The Specter of Undeath, Xi, made an appearance soon after. She teleported into the event and murdered the noble Lady of Highshield. As Xi commenced battle with Highshield Officials, Fort Urosil’s Seer Chiriel brought the lady back to life with strange, non-Rhystian magic, though questions still buzz as to how beneficial her survival would prove to be due to the complications it would pose.

macdguy has been working on improving controller support.
Controller support is coming along nicely. The backend for controller systems is all setup and finalized now. Adding controller support to various menus is pretty complex as it's case by case.
For example, in Zombie Massacre, controller support had to be coded to be intuitive and select the first possible upgrade when highlighting while using controller, then highlight the unlock button for you.
There's also a bunch of minor changes for each menu to handle which buttons should be active and which should not, etc. Luckily the system made now handles all of this with ease, but we still have to go through each menu and think about how the controller will highlight each part of the menus.
Controller Support: Zombie Massacre Menu
Zombie Massacre
Johanna finished working on Zombie Massacre: Acrophobia.
macdguy helped get Zombie Massacre: Acrophobia ready for release. He made changes to the Mercenary class by removing "Focus Shoot" and replacing it with the "Drone Buddy". Drone Buddy will follow the player while shooting at zombies around them. He also worked on adding controller support to the menu.
Sketchman finished working on achievement icons for Zombie Massacre: Acrophobia.
Zombie Massacre: Drone Buddy
Third Party Plushies / Statues
JJosh has been working on the Third Party Plushies we've talked about in the past. We're hoping very soon to have these released, and available to obtain in the Arcade.
