Hello, it’s Holographicquad, and we’re finally back with another update. Phase 4: “Art Rehaul🎨” of the Sprite’s Honor roadmap is now complete! This update took a bit longer because we took a small vacation from game development and started working on a side project, DIGI-DOLL You can check it out on Steam yourself!

The Art Rehaul focused on enhancing the game’s visuals. While further visual tweaks may still come in the future, these were the most important ones for us to complete! This update also includes plenty of bug fixes and general improvements - to many to list, but trust us they made the game better than before!
