Housing For Your Puppet

Now here’s an update! This video demonstrates one of the things to do in OceanBook.. Make your own house! The video is 7 minutes long, so if you’d like to skip most of the decorating, you can fast-forward to the end and see the house fully decorated. What a nice surprise! 🙂

The Next Update! Scythes, Whips, and more!

The next update, to be released today in the Japanese version, features Scythes, Whips, Silver Halberds and Rapiers, and various other goodies. Also implemented will be the AFK feature, which allows for you to go into AFK mode. However, these items will not be able to be obtained until the release of Tower 8, which should be soon.

New Scratch Cards To Be Released

Above: A few cards from the SAPPHIRE set.

Today, ARTIFACT announced the release of two new sets. The two previously released sets, DIAMOND and SAPPHIRE, were big hits. Soon, two new sets featuring the EMERALD and RUBY elements will be released. These sets will feature the elements of nature and fire, respectively, and will possibly contain weapons, shields, rings, and even a special inventory artifact granting three emerald and ruby charges.

As of right now, it is unclear whether or not these artifacts will be released in the United States. It is, however, unlikely that methods identical to those of Japan’s distribution will be used because of the high price of printing and packaging cards. Perhaps an online purchase system will be used?

Sleepy Face Chosen as AFK Gesture

The majority of players (approximately 70%) chose to have a “sleepy face gesture” as a sign that players are AFK. In addition to that, many players suggested having Z’s above the head to make it clearer.
Artifact has taken this into consideration and will move forward with the AFK gesture development.

Major Feature Update

A major feature update will be taking place soon! This includes all of the following:

• Upgrades of all weapons, up to the Paragon level. This includes High, Zoa, Giga, and Holy weapons as well.
• Friend list updgrade. You will now be able to add any player by his or her name, and have up to 100 friends. Also, you will be able to see *which* game they are in as well. This will be useful once multiple games are released.
• Background music can be turned on or off now. This does not include overall sound, which can already be turned off by the upper right-hand corner button.

Click here to see more images and a translated version of the updates to come. There is no word yet as to when this will be implemented in the English version, but you can bet that it will be soon (possibly next week)!
