  Devlog #2

  We've hit 11,000 wishlists. Thank you so much. Honestly, it still hasn't fully sunk in, but every time I see that number, I think, "It's really reaching people." This update introduces our new character, Starsprite, along with a roundup of recent changes.〔 Starsprite Observation Journal — Written by: Dawnmatron 〕Day 1 A new girl showed up! Her name is Starsprite. I've decided to call her Star. When I said "nice to meet you!" she just went "……mm." She's so cool!!Day 3 Starsprite's fighting style is incredible. She builds up this sparkling energy in her costume — she calls it "Star Charge." Is that a little chunnibyou? Anyway, once it's full, she releases it all at once in a big burst.Me: "Hey hey, why do you wait until the very last second to release it?" Starsprite: "……More charge. More power." Me: "But aren't you scared?? If you get knocked out halfway, you lose everything!" Starsprite: "Fine."I don't think she's fine. Also, apparently it feels kind of good when she releases it.Day 5 I witnessed an even more unhinged technique. She called it "Cascade Chain." You play one card, and it triggers the next card, which triggers the next, which triggers the next — and it just doesn't stop.Me: "Starsprite, isn't that cheating?! I'm over here playing cards one by one like a normal person!" Starsprite: "……It's about how you build the deck." Me: "Ughhh, that's so unfair!!" Starsprite: "……Here." (pulls a cookie out of her pocket)Okay maybe I was being a little immature. But I love Starsprite so much!!!!Day 7 Today Starsprite was staring really hard at her draw pile. I asked what she was doing and she said "Scry" — apparently she can peek at the upcoming cards and rearrange their order. She can see the future……?Me: "So do you know what cards I'm gonna draw on my next turn?" Starsprite: "Yes." Me: "What is it?" Starsprite: "……Curse card." Me: "That's so mean!!!"〔 End of Observation Journal 〕Starsprite is a character built around charging up, chaining together, and reading ahead....
