<br/>Greetings Tatsu fam,<br/>
<br/>Pinata here with this week’s dev update, while Mikhail is on a break.<br/>
<br/>In today’s update, we’re taking a look at firstly an update to Party Management in the game with Leader Skills as an additional feature to use in battle.<br/>
<br/>We’ve got a little aquatic adventure as we take a look at some concept art for the Water Temple design process! Following that, we’ve got some cute little Axolotls, which you’ll encounter in these marine locations. They’re cute, colourful and squishy, but you’d be wise to not underestimate these critters.<br/>
<br/>Now let’s “dive” into the fun stuff!<br/>

<br/>To build the most synchronous team in the game, it’s best to select a skill that harmonizes well with the team and gives your team the most advantage during battle. <br/>

<br/>Our artists and narrative team have conceptualized the idea of a temple nestled near the shore, now in ruins due to the forces of nature. A place of devotion for one the many races in the game, it introduces the variety of cultures and landmarks spread throughout the Ielian map.

    These colourful, squishy Axolotls are amongst some of the critters joining the ranks of the monster compendium, and their lovable appearance is not to be taken lightly! <br/>

    <br/><br/>Not to be confused with Salamanders, these amphibians never outgrow their juvenile phase, allowing them to retain their otherwise youthful traits as well as feathery gills that sprout from heads. You might spot them wandering the Water Temple at times, so be on the lookout!<br/><br/><br/><h1 class="blog_heading1__LTQ_9"><b class="blog_bold__OUPuc">Missed older Monthly Newsletters?</b></h1>For newer readers who have missed our previous monthly newsletters, fret not because we are bringing them back!
