It's been a while since my last update and I apologize, it's been a busy time for the team. All departments are full steam ahead!
The team has grown since my last update with Brendon Healy joining us as the music composer. I'm still not sure how to post audio files, once I figure that out, I'll put up a sample of this man's genius! Promise!
Another new member to the team is Kristin Warren. She joins us as a designer in charge of the crafting system and item designs.
In other news, Zélie Bérubé has finished all 96 officer portraits I commissioned from her and they turned out amazing. There are a total of 9 personalities and each personality contains 8 unique officers. Each personality dictates the Leadership, Politics, Charisma and Composure range that officer will begin with. It also dictates the max improvements and chance for statistical increase in the aforementioned stats.
Below is a sample of portraits and statistics from the "Natural Born Leader" personality. Like the name suggests, these officers have an affinity to leadership, they also have a firm grasp on politics but have average charisma and composure statistics.
