We thought it would be a great time to show some of the new stuff we've been working on for our closed beta of Blade Symphony. Remember, PHANs get immediate access!
Left: Testing reflective surfaces on maps Spire was working on.
Right: Mock-up of a redesign for the round start screen that Atomy implemented a week ago.
Left: Charles created an alternate skin for Ryoku. I just finished the skin selection code this week to try it out.
Right: Here's our new character selection screen. It's still work in progress of course.
Left: The first screenshot of District, the map we will release after Monastery.
Right: The final arena of Monastery, the Hallways.
Also PHAN club member Alice posted a series of really cool Blade Symphony videos on YouTube. Here's one of our favorites!
Also, we've been at work on a stats system for Blade Symphony, thanks to our stats pro; mindstormmaster. Using this system, you can also check out the player activity. Although, we'll talk more about stats in a future post.
