Mystery March Update [0.0.13]


Hi, everyone! Look, I got the Mystery March update done just in time for the month to end. Imagine releasing it in April. How silly! This content update is themed around the Mystery aspect. It was added last and therefore wasn't as fleshed out as the others. (Detailed image descriptions at the end)

Twitch Integration

Twitch subscribers of the Sword & Quill channel can now redeem a sub-exclusive animon (Twitchmon) by connecting their account in the settings.

Streamers can enable the Twitch mode with lets viewers interact in several ways:

  • suggest which path to take on the map
  • spend channel points to give the streamer rewards
  • predict enemy moves during combat to help or hinder
  • spend Bits to adopt an animon persistently and giving the streamer the option to borrow it

Image Descriptions
Animons
Najmagi: A cute blue little blob with two short, pointy legs and two even shorter arms and two just as pointy ears. It wears a cloak that is attached to its head with a golden brooch and wears a wand that looks like the tool of a magical girl. You can see blue and purple stars through the cloak like a different dimension. Najmagi smiles innocently.
Escurida: A purple floating hood-scarf that spirals around itself. You can see stars through the inside of the hood and a single, determined purple eye. There's a separate floating arm with a clawed hand on its right side, that looks like made from black goo. The uppermost gap of the scarf-spiral looks a bit like an open mouth and has teeth.
Zabilula: A futuristic-looking bipedal gazelle. Two large horns, slightly curved horns adorn its brown head and long ears are bent backwards. It has two purple metallic rings on its back, the bigger ring connecting its shoulders instead of arms and behind the ring it wears two pairs of light blue dragonfly-wings. Feetless, thick legs are made from the same metallic purple material. Its lower torso and upper legs are dark grey. A glowing disc floats in front of its forehead and it has glowin teal highlighting strips all over its body. It's standing with its legs wide apart, slightly bend forward, its purple eyes are half-opened and look unimpressed. Elusive version has grey-beige fur, gold rings and boots, and black wings instead.
Animancers
Khulan: a casual-looking man with wavey blue hair that peeks out from under a beanie. He's wearing a red hoodie with a dark blue v-neck, a pair of khaki pants and brown slip-on sneakers. Khulan is pressing one half of his headphones to his ear with one hand and snaps his fingers with the other. His head is tilted up, eyes closed, enjoying the tunes. 
Bhavya: an elegant witch with long, black hair, a blue sleeveless dress and black leggins that expose the heels and toes. They're wearing an enormous purple witch's hat and a feather is attached to their right ear. Bhavya is half standing, half sitting on their hovering broom. A bindshard is tied to it. Their face is turned away from the battle field but their eyes are peeking towards it with a gentle smile
Kareem: a man with dark brown beard and a top bun, wearing a green tank top that has the letters FCK NZS on the front, blue jeans, and white half-boots. He has a tattoo of circles and lines around his left lower arm. He is sitting in a floating wheelchair that is powered by a pair of blue crystals instead of wheels. He is pointing his finger forward like a finger-gun.
Lana: a woman with long orange hair who is standing with knees together, bend forward, her right hand touching her face with an expression as if seen something utterly cute. She is wearing a blue beret, a pink ruffled top, blue jeans shorts and dark lavender high-heels. She is holding a bindshard in the hand of her outstretched left arm.
