1: Image of Kaku
When the new Kaku could be initially controlled in the game, we began to adjust the existing equipment and design new equipment. We have made adaptability adjustments to the old equipment structure, and currently all adjustments have been essentially completed. After the adjustments to the old equipment are completed, we will speed up the production of new equipment so that they can be available to everyone earlier.

2: The world of ruins
The previous release of concept art and models should have piqued everyone's interest, and we don't want to keep you waiting for the final product for too long. In the past two months, we have completed the specific design of the ruins world, and it is now nearing completion (excluding special effects details and optimization). If you want to upgrade your attributes such as health and stamina, or get some equipment, you might as well visit the ruins world more often. When exploring on land, don’t forget to collect ruins keys.

The shell of the Wind Plate is like a huge closed, colossal set of wings, with surrounding stones delicately swirling like feathers, exuding the agile essence of the wind. The void is filled with mysterious purple clouds, which are atomized by the power of the wind element, and are often accompanied by thunder and lightning. Only by following the path of the wind can adventurers travel through it and dance with the wind.

The Earth Plate is like the top of the sky ridge, mysterious and majestic. It seems to be the link between heaven and earth, like a tower of Babel. The entrance to the ruins is dotted on the stone tower like stars, and the texture of each stone is intertwined by Saga's divine power, ensuring that this summit of the celestial ridge stands eternal.

The Fire Plate is as gorgeous as a bonfire pattern and is made of lava. The black and red appearance exudes a fiery aura, with the red appearing to have the flowing currents of magma. White steam often rises from it. The void is filled with embers of fire, resonating with the red pulse. Only courage and wisdom are the way to survive in the fiery realm.

The Water Plate resembles the rolling waves of the sea, with each curve exuding beauty. Basalt-like stone pillars were constructed in the void, and water flows like a silver-white gleam, weaving through the pillars to create a natural water curtain that then disappears into the abyss of the void. The flowing water is at times melodious and at times surging, requiring adventurers to possess the talents of agility and adaptability in this challenging environment.

3.Brand new Piggy
The adorable big-eared Piggy is making a return with entirely new abilities, though the names for these abilities are still undecided. Now Piggy’s first ability, for now, let’s call it “Space Teleportation”. Piggy's horn can create an inexplicable connection with the ruins world and open the door to the ruins world. We hope this will make it more convenient for everyone to reach the ruins world when you have desires to explore ruins, upgrade attributes and learn new abilities.

Piggy's second ability is "Super Jump". Its big ears are finally no longer just a decoration. When faced with difficult-to-cross terrain, it will help you jump over them with ease.

The third ability is "Aquatic Stroll". For a long time, everyone has been troubled by the immediate death when Kaku is exposed to water. So what if Piggy can help Kaku achieve water walking? Now Piggy can let Kaku leisurely stroll on the water through his own magic bubbles. "Aquatic Stroll" seems to be a handy tool for cheesing as well.

4.Diverse ultimate abilities
Now that the ability tree has been completely reborn, the original ultimate abilities seem quite mediocre. We aim to provide more playability to the ultimate abilities, as the previous focus solely on dealing damage became somewhat monotonous.
Considering the characteristics of the three ability types, we've added sustained burning fire damage to the ultimate ability of melee weapons, significantly expanding its damage radius. This should better meet the expectations of players who prefer pure damage output.

After the ultimate ability of the off-hand weapon concludes, there will be a beneficial buff aura. Given the clumsiness of off-hand weapon attacks, leading to Kaku taking more damage, this enhancement is warranted.

As for the ultimate ability of ranged weapon, it now can use the power of ice. Considering that ranged attackers typically want to maintain distance from enemies, ranged attacks can now slow nearby enemies.

5. Land exploration gameplay
New interactive objects bring more possibilities to the land exploration gameplay. We’ve added new side quests in many locations across the Elemental Land, which will increase the fun of exploring the land, as well as play time. More details will be waiting for you to experience in the game after we improve them.

6.Ponpon’s Camp
The harsh winter has been with us for quite some time, and we have all grown accustomed to stepping out bundled up in thick clothing. The kind production team has also thought about Ponpon; how would they withstand the cold in this weather? Therefore, the responsibility of building new houses for Ponpon fell on our shoulders.
The designers would never make the camp tents are as clumsy as the Ponpons, and now adventurers can spot their weather-shielding homes from afar.
