What's up, RMers?

I was fairly unproductive last week, while i did have things to report, time got away from me and i forget, but here i am to set the record straight!
Remi-Chan
For a bit of context, I've only recently gotten back online. it seems a power outage at the NBN grid cause a small portion of the suburban jungle I live in to have no internet access, and so for three days I had no internet on my PC, although mobile data still worked.
Lucky for me, I'd purchased a very immersive game a couple days before the outage, so it just gave me an excuse to have fun with that! I also sprained my ankle pretty badly on tuesday leading to basically the whole week me having less motivation to work as typical. Thankfully the week before had no such issues.
Only Fools Dare Confront The Daystar
"Curiosity shall be your greatest wound."
You may recall last page I posted some screenshots of the recoded optional boss fights in Disk 0. The last of which was the fight with Wi Hellrider, complete with a new arena (from a slab of rock to a golden upside-down pyramid) and interface to boot? Weh-heh-heh-hell! I now have a video to showcase that calamitous showdown!
Xiie / Rune
Surprising me yet again, in spite of a super-typhoon, Xiie being the absolute madlass she is, found ways to continue working even while at an evacuation center! She returned triumphantly with Mad E. Lin's sprite.
The Purple Potato has entered the building!

There is some lovely in game screenshot previews for Flight for her over in the Map and Screenshots thread.

He's been confirmed alive as of 11/11. But beyond that there's yet again been complete radio silence. My guess is that the stormy season currently hitting the philippines is effecting him, too. Starmage alike Xiie and other of my filipino friends have all been effected.
Here's to hoping he's alright.

Redesigning the Blood Council!
You may recall I leaked a document about a month ago that went into my design ideas for the remastering of the Blood Council fight. When i say Remaster, I mean entirely redefining what it is and how it plays. Typically what i am doing with these fights is merely recoding them to work with the new tech, maybe make some vidual or sound adjustments, but the fight should still play fairly similarly to before.
A remaster is typically either an entire overhaul to a fight, or it adds an entire new phase yjst redefines the experience. Due to the magnamity of such events, only three of these kinds of fights are in the works. The first of which that has been completed already is White Apple, the fight with Eve at the end of Disk 2, a fight that felt solely underwhelming and anti-climactic for an end of disk boss, so the remaster addressed that and made it worthy of its position, and it gave me some ability to more accurately portrayt and characterize Eve.
I've yet to work on any of the mechanics, but I have prepared all of the assets, here's just some of those. Though the largest one can be found over in my cinematic suite.
