Like mentioned on the Discord, a 2 week release schedule might have been a little optimistic, especially coupled with that I needed a small 1 week break after last release's pretty draining run. It means that the second interim release, originally targeted at 2 weeks as well, will probably also come out at ~3 weeks.
This interim release mostly contains actual content to the item system, graphic updates, lots of art updates, some new content to previous parts of the game, especially around the Halloween stuff, and story content that centres on the lead-up to the Yule Ball.
The interim release after this one will contain another look at the character reputation system and how exactly those parts are handled, since they will play into the Yule Ball. Story-wise, it will be more Yule Ball lead up, as well as Hogsmeade.
A couple of random pictures of art and the Hogsmeade WIP.
