The Bestiary Guide is finally here!

Sorry this took a week, I wanted to do another read through of the book. Just like last week, I want to give a little update on things coming up.

The Bestiary Guide

Just like the other books, the Bestiary Guide is very limited with it's visual content. However, I do have a fun idea for getting the art for the enemies and monsters made- but we will cover that in a bit. Also keep in mind that these monsters and enemies may change drastically depending on the feedback I receive. From what I can anticipate, these monsters should be in the final version of the game.

Just like the other books, I will be working on getting the book cleaned up to be more legible and visually pleasing. So if you think you see something that could be fixed, please feel free to reach out to me!

CLOSEQUARTERS and the Upcoming Holidays

As you may be well aware (at least in the USA), the major holidays are quickly approaching. This time of year seems to make everybody's personal life exceptionally busy, so with that being said, CLOSEQUARTERS updates and fixes may be slow until after December. I will try to do whatever I can, but something tells me this holiday season is going to be especially busy.

If all goes well, I hope to make at least 1 or 2 updates to the game during this time. If I can't, then I will update the game at the start of the new year. This leads me to my next topic...

Future Updates and New Content

Sometime in November (probably late November), I plan on adding some new content to the game!

I am planning on adding:

• 1 New Playable Species

• 2 New Types
• Any player requested changes / updates

While I can't reveal what they are at this time, I hope you will keep your eyes out for that content. All of our teased content can be found on our Twitter, but all actual updates will be addressed both on Twitter and here.

Community Related ( Discord and Contests/ Raffle)

CLOSEQUARTERS was built around the nature of community, sharing, and engaging and I am hoping to honor that motto. I have been thinking about how to get that ball rolling, I have a few ideas so far.

CLOSEQUARTERS Discord

I am considering opening a CLOSEQUARTERS Discord server- I think it will be a healthy way of allowing people to talk and discuss CLOSEQUARTERS. I do plan on being in the Discord as well, you might even get the chance to play with me directly. (Wow, what an honor)

I don't know how long I would be able to stay active within the community, but for what it's worth I need to practice what I preach- even if it means getting over my own personal faults to do so.

CLOSEQUARTERS Contests and Raffles

I also plan on hosting community contests sometime in the future! There are 2 contest / raffle ideas I have thus far:

1. Character Contest: Players will submit their CLOSEQUARTERS characters to me, we do a random raffle, and whoever gets their name drawn will have their character drawn by Namocchi! In addition, their character will be added into the finished book as an "Easter Egg" character!
2. Monster Contest: Players will vote on which of the pre-made monster they like the best. The winning monster will have new art made for the books!

NOTE: These are just ideas- nothing is concrete yet. I cannot promise that these will be actual contests in the future, they are just ideas.

I have a few more ideas for contests and raffles, but these two stuck out to be the most realistic and doable. I want the contests and raffles to feel fair and inclusive; I don't want people to feel excluded from the contests because they feel like they aren't good or deserving enough. Inclusive and fair are my priorities with the contests. Hopefully, these inclusions will be coming sooner rather than later!

Closing Statement

Thank you to everyone who has supported CLOSEQUARTERS thus far! The download count was a bit higher than expected, and while I haven't really heard people talk about the game yet, I am grateful for those who are giving it a chance. Things are only getting started, and I'm excited for things to come. Thank you for your time and support thus far!
