The Brighter Leek #21

Welcome to the 21st edition of The Brighter Leek.

We hope everyone enjoyed the Blight of Spores quest. We certainly did. Wor Wor Kan Lor Daniel!

Looking to the future, we have some more great quests in the works, with both the Hopeforest 3 ⭐️ quest and the Mine of Mantuban 4 ⭐️ quest nearing completion. Both the Crenopolis quests are temporarily on hold, but they have not been abandoned, and we will be resuming work on them very soon.

Aside from quests, it has been a very busy fortnight:

• Work has continued on Milestones, with Andrew focusing on the core gameplay changes (like the new XP curve), and James and Greg working on expanding the professions to cover the full 10 milestones.
• Andrew began the process of recruiting a new game developer.
• Lewis has started working on graphics for this year's halloween event.

Translation notebook addendum: In Wildspeak, saying the same pronoun twice makes it plural.
