This week, we've got some new UI improvements to share!
The Unit Window is going to be a critical source of information for players, so we've taken the time to redesign it and make it a lot cooler and cleaner! Check it out!

Take a stroll down the Docks, the latest revealed map for Crystal Horizons!

It looks like there's a bit of a commotion right now though. Sky pirates are engaged in combat! Fight on the road or make use of the cargo for a shortcut; the choice is yours!

This week, let's take a look at the newly revealed Templar class! It's still in development, so just screenshots today!

Templar is an adaptable frontline class with high defenses and access to Light and Healing magic, excelling at countering magic-users!

Improving on our UI is a constant effort, and this week I'd like to share an idea we've been looking into to do just that: By applying a darken effect to traversed menus, we hope to increase visual clarity a bit more!

Feel free to let us know your thoughts!

The wide variety of magic you have access to doesn't just affect units on the field, but the very ground itself!
Use earth magic on stone to create sharp rocks that deal damage on movement, or create cover with steam clouds by combining fire and water!

New to Crystal Horizons, we've added the icons for a status effect next to its name whenever it gets mentioned, both for better information conveyance and to make the UI look just a bit cooler. Check it out!

Here's a peek at the first battle map of Crystal Horizons! It seems some slimes are gathering around these crystal clusters, and they're not too happy to see Crow!
