Newsletter #3: WINTER TIME!!
(December Newsletter)
Hello everyone! It sure has been a while. Last time we talked, it was the beginning of autumn. Now it’s winter already! Let’s finally give you all some updates.
The Team!
Back in November, our main coder, @ninesoulssea, left World One and the internet as a whole. Since then, we’ve been quietly searching for someone new, but haven’t had any luck.
Because of this, we’ve switched from RPG Maker VX Ace to RPG Maker MV. We still need a coder, so we’re asking for your help with World One!
If you know how to use RPG Maker MV and would like to help, please fill out this form (you do need to be somewhat proficient):

On the music side of things, we’d like to welcome Roi to the team! (And quietly note the departure of KannoMax.)
Progress!
A few weeks ago, I announced a Chapter 1 remake and said I’d reveal more about it here, so here’s some information.
Chapter 1 Remake
Since early September, we’ve been quietly working on this remake, but only unveiled it recently. The remake mainly changes gameplay, sprites, and music. Not many new segments are being added, aside from ███ ████████ ████ ███ ██████ ██████.
We’re currently focusing on the battle system and are switching from front-view to side-view battles. All art for the remake is done by @Blocky_road.
We also have a song to share from the remake: https://soundcloud.com/worldone/kk-fisticuffs

Chapter 2
Due to my PC breaking recently, not as much progress has been made as I would’ve liked. I can’t really show much from this chapter right now, aside from that sprite.
Writing: 75%
Art: 50%
Music: 75%
Code: 25%
Chapter 3+
Surprisingly, there is already work being done on Chapter 3 and onward. Chapter 3 is an oddly short chapter compared to Chapter 4, but that’s fine.
I can’t give any more information, or I’ll spoil the entire game… and we don’t want that, right?

Website!
Two weeks ago, I released the official World One website, filled with info… and secrets? I’ve updated it since then, so feel free to check it out again.
Woah… I’m out of breath.
I think that’s all for today.
