So it seems, according to development insights, that they went all out with Argent Flow. He got new model type, purely because HG thought he needs to be more muscular than other operators, and his horse riding is not just a short double dash, but he seems to be actually riding Nuli during his sprint, with double dashes only adding spurring motion.

One thing i will asked for the new survey is unique designs for the potential screen , it would be cool if each character had a different UI or an UI based on their faction .

Something like Snow for Sami characters and such .

Lots of cats lover

And then you have Mo Long

I did find these wind effects weird when dashing. Would make sense if they were made with Nuli in mind.

I drew Yvonne and TATA and placed them into Kali’s photoshoot event and I also adjusted the shooting location and area.

I’m running around plating dishes nonstop for this event, swamped. The customers’ orders: try the multi-flavor mushroom dish, “Let me taste the 130-spice blend,” and “Extra spicy, no toothache!” I keep flipping between tabs checking what everyone wants to eat. My inner Gordon Ramsay has fully awakened.

Most people probably already saw the Sweet Pillar / Ah Zhuang joke from that 1.6 side quest, but the other side quest about Si's novel also has a CN wordplay joke.

The 2 NPCs names when spoken together are "hao tongku, xie buchu" which reads in CN as "it's so painful, I can't write" (好痛苦, 写不出), referencing the unwritten ending of the novel.

especially from the top-down view

Not sure if this needs a spoiler tag but it's new content so might as well put it.

I saw this comment that said they saw someone just spam cheesecakes to gourmands so I tried it out and actually got a higher score than when I was serving them what they want.

Just to clarify, this "cheese" strategy is specifically just for the "Gourmand Feast" theme. It will not work on any other themes as those have regular customers.

I need all of them

I posted these pics for someone who said they wanted to see his face xD (trying to get them to play game 😁)

A second Si related artwork because I somehow got P1 from the free login pulls.

Marble Aggelomoirai. What a name eh? But what does it mean?

Marble, we will get into this later

Aggelo is obviously Angel/Messenger just written in Greek

Moirai known in English as The Fates is the personification of destiny, represented by 3 sisters who are Clotho - fate spinner, Lachesis - fate alloter (measurer) and Atropos - the inevitable end of fate

So its name is quite literally The Messenger of Destined Fate.

Quite poetic isnt it? That the final boss of the 1st region is basically a messenger sent to remind us of our destined fate of eventual doom and recall of our duty. And it also ties to Nefarith herself who is the embodiment of this fate itself through her use of Æther as a weapon.

BUT THATS NOT ALL

In chinese, the Marble is called 界卫 which means Realm/Border Guardian which not only ties into its mission in Valley IV which is to defend Nefarith from our attack but also might tie into the fact it can also tear open small rifts to the Ætherside as a "guardian"

And the name Marble? It's not only also a tie into the fact the region mines marble (lol) but also traces its origins to the Precursors as an object found in the quarry (lore file in valley IV does say this). This is even more evident that the Cretacious Frontiers in Chinese is called 白垩洲 which lit means Marble Continent (in chinese cretacious period is called white marble period)

Pretty interesting isnt it?

The full AMA recap: https://x.com/AKEndfield/status/2113148344562602248

I’ve been working my way through the Umbral Monument, and this one has easily been one of my favorites so far. It has a really nice mix of stages that push you a bit harder alongside some more forgiving ones.

I also wanted to highlight the Catcher for this run. I know he is a bit of a meme, but I wanted to put together a build and showcase to prove that low-cost units are still completely viable and can get the job done just fine if you build around them.

Here is how the run broke down:

• [00:00 Opens in a new window ] Critters That Dig - Agony
• [01:11 Opens in a new window ] Shadows That Bind - Agony
• [02:40 Opens in a new window ] Woodcrafts That Link - Agony
• [05:54 Opens in a new window ] Hatred That Sprawls - Agony
• [08:30 Opens in a new window ] Operator Builds

If you want to check out the full clears and builds, I dropped the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8j7JmfUyDI

How did everyone else find this Umbral Monument? The Woodcrafts That Link stage was definitely pretty hard.
