[COLOR="#FFFFFF"][SIZE=6][B][FONT=Century Gothic]Update #8[/FONT][/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]

Welcome to Shanty's eight progress update. This month's update(s) will be primarily focused on plans for our brand new skill, a plethora of bug fixes, a new initiative to showcase notable assets, and quality of life adjustments! Furthermore, we have information relating to the the development team and project lead changes.

First of all, our beloved [COLOR="#FFFFFF"][B]Arham[/B][/COLOR] has decided to step back from the project lead due to real life committments, and has now passed the mantle over to [COLOR="#FFFFFF"][B]Sin[/B][/COLOR] who is now Shanty's project lead. There has been a huge burst of activity over the month of April in which has resulted in more development overall in progress. 

Shanty has begun its first internal testing phase in which has successfully resulted in a lot of positive feedback for the current content Shanty has to offer, the main direction is to polish and perfect the existing content before moving on to other things. This also leads us on to... recruiting internal testers! Well, just one or two. Shanty already has a successful QA team however we feel that adding two more dedicated and passionate members to the team would be beneficial. 

If [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]you[/COLOR] have relative QA experience in testing games and servers, this position would be suitable for you - please [B][COLOR="#FFFFFF"]private message[/COLOR][/B] this account or any team member on the front page with the following format:

Deadline for applying will be [B][COLOR="#FFFFFF"]10th May 2024[/COLOR][/B]

Without further ado:

[COLOR=#FFFFFF][FONT=Century Gothic][B][SIZE=5]A new skill nears the horizon[/SIZE][/B][/FONT][/COLOR]

The prospect of developing a new skill in Shanty is something we'd initially set our sights on way back. Really, really way back, at a time in Shanty's development where we had only just begun to dip our toes into making custom content in any capacity.

Shanty has come a long way since then, with more thought and care than ever before going into its development. As such, we've deigned it appropriate to finally get back on track with that whole “new skill” business, and we're here to present a teaser for what's to come– our prior committment to only showcasing content that's actually been developed still stands, mind you, but how can we not make an exception for something this thrilling?

[B][COLOR="#FFFFFF"][SIZE=5][FONT=Century Gothic]Asset Showcase[/FONT][/color][/size][/B]

In our quest to fully realise our custom overworld, a good amount of instances come up where certain blanks can't be adequately filled in without necessitating the making of new assets. Thankfully, our design lead [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]Maximax[/COLOR] can handily take care of the making of any such assets as is deemed necessary. Moving forward, update blogs will put a spotlight on some of these assets, and further showcases will also take place in our Discord server!
