We haven't forgotten about the sable smithy, it's just not a top priority right now (right now we have holidays we need to prepare ahead of time for like dumb luminaire). and I have some ideas for it (some that users have also suggested which is awesome), we just haven't had the team power for it with everything else we're working on. :)

Yeah, when I talk team I mean the Creative Department. Bug has been a great help to Keith and I, but that's for programming and not art. Moving some holidays around (like Alegarten to the summer and moving Vesnali a bit forward) has really helped with some of the pressure to where artists don't have to go like STRAIGHT TO NEXT HOLIDAY NO BREAK NO FUN SIDE PROJECTS haha.

I've mentioned it before, but I'd like to do like gem hunting in the winter (something similar to bug catching etc) and using those gems to make things (weapons which is down for, clothes, etc). It's just a bigger project than just "oh let's get a few baked goods done for fantine's baking" because we already have a base for that. Pushing something completely new out, you've got to have a good amount of art right at the start etc.

Teahouse isn't on the back burner, it's actively being worked on. :) It's just a lot more than just a new shop with some items. We want to make it like actually worth going to every day etc. It wasn't even really the new servers that were the issue for Morostide, because the changes Keith made actually worked (where they'd scale up as they should), it was more the resources were like being used so fast because of the vault/wardrobe. That's why caching was added etc.

( and I have discussed a lot of various like new weapons and stuff. I'd like to get more higher tier items so there's more of a choice; like when you look at what a lot of battlers suggest for the higher tiers the options really get limited compared to lower tiers.)

(okay at this point my cold medicine i think has finally kicked in so I'm going to go sleep to netflix shows; will look at any pings later <3)

Since these are really item suggestions, moving to S&I.
