Hello!

Here is the second update on the final additional content that will be updated next week. For other updates, please refer to the last development diary!


[h2]Bee Village[/h2]



A small village will be added to the southwest of the Central Forest.
You can assist the bees living there and engage in a small subquest.


[h2]Northern Sky Island[/h2]



The northern part of Sky Island will be opened, where you can obtain "Rahno's Hat."
This hat allows you to use new teleportation platforms added around the world.


[h2]Collectibles[/h2]



You will be able to collect all the bugs that are listed in the adventure diary but were previously unobtainable. Additionally, all unobtainable totems will also be added.



[h2]Map Markers[/h2]



A map marker system will be introduced to help navigate the expansive world.
It will assist in marking locations of inaccessible areas or items due to the lack of skills or companions.




After this update, we plan to spend about three months preparing for the final boss fight and ending before transitioning to an official release. We will inform you of the exact release date after the update.

Thank you to everyone who has shown interest in "Ogu and the Secret Forest," and we are committed to successfully launching version 1.0.

Thank you!

Hello!

I'm excited to share the development status of the final additional content that will be updated at the end of this month. This update includes all the remaining unreleased areas and content except for the final battle.

[h2]Road of Proof[/h2]



The map related to the "Sigil of the Tree', which was previously inaccessible in the main quest, will be revealed.

The 'Road of Proof', accessible from the south of the Central Forest, is where the teachers who taught baby Ogu gather. This path leads to the final battle location, so the teachers will check if baby Ogu is ready to face the final boss.

[h2]Central Cave[/h2]





The Central Cave, connecting various parts of the Central Forest, will be revealed.

In the Central Cave, you will be able to mine two types of gems that were previously unobtainable and encounter trash monsters and puzzles related to the overall story of the game.





Additionally, with the opening of the Central Cave, entrances to it will also be added.

[h2]Apple Woods and Related Area Updates[/h2]





The quests and related areas of the Apple Woods, leading from the southwestern world to Hermit Crab Village, will be revealed. Small quests involving 'Panpan', who runs the orchard, as well as the mountain path connected to the Apple Forest and Bee Village, will be updated.

[h2]Harbor Town Quest[/h2]



A small quest will be added to Harbor Town.

[h2]Others[/h2]

The northern area of Sky Island and the ruins of the Moon Forest Cave will become accessible. Additionally, about 20 new Piece of Artifact will be added to complete all museum collections.

[h2]Schedule[/h2]

This update is scheduled for the end of April. Following this, development of the final boss fight and final testing will proceed, with an official release planned for the end of July.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us, and we will do our best to ensure a successful official launch.

Thank you!
