August-September Post-Alpha Check In

Hello, everyone!

With the release of Alpha testing, we have in this update a retrospective on the test itself, a host of content from August, some lore drop, and word on where we are with Moontail and Leopard! 

Let’s begin with some art!

Southern Romanovtsa 

Users in our Discord participated in a community game to see the preproduction designs of our Romanovtsa variants. The Southern olive variant is done!

Design and illustration by Hydde

Crests

We’ve illustrated two more forum crests, Orchard Crest and Spectral Crest!

Design and illustration by Giulia

Currently, Demonic is being illustrated now!

Regal Set recolors

Regal set had its recolors done!

Black, grey, white, red, orange, yellow, green, teal, blue, purple, pink, and brown, recolors by Emma (@missbluefrost)

New Accessory: Gilded Crest

Next, preview of the design for the Gilded Crest, the sponsored accessory item from the individual who won our sweepstakes: Emma! (Not the one on our team)

KS sponsored by Emma, illustrated by Azarel

Harvest Logo

As promised, the Harvest logo was updated to better reflect the difference in the thematic stone and incense items. 

This visual will slowly be updated in all our content. 

Wheatley and Crowley

Take a peak at the newest progress on Whealtey and Crowley!

Leopard and Moontails Check In

As promised, we want to release these two things together. So where are we? 

Moontails have all patterns but Leopard done. 

Moontail wing colors, a mighty feat, are good to go, but we are currently working on perfecting the tail and whisker glow colors. Moontails will be utilizing the accent 1 color for their glow tint, much like the previous cat creator, and we’ve had to start from the ground up on accommodating all of our colors in a way that flatters the glow. 

In addition, doing this work now will help benefit any glowing mystic breeds in the future... ;)

Here is an example of in-progress glow designs: 

Thistle, Wisteria, River

Overall this breed is very robust in comparison to our other breeds, and it will be extremely rewarding to release all 3 wing types at once. With all the effort gone in, Moontails have certainly earned their place as a legacy breed. 

Leopard

Leopard is all done! Sans Moontails, but they’re currently being worked on. Here is an in-progress example:

WIP by Asp

Though, we are wary of using the designated “tiger” palette for Leopard 100% of the time, as we worry this will create a washed-out look for the pattern in the majority of cases, so while we tool Moontail glows, we’re visiting altering Leopard spot colors. 

As far as art goes as a whole, these two things are concurrently working alongside our main production push. A vast majority of our time is going towards icons or continuing accessory illustration. This will limit the amount of new content we can share, as it will just be the same items repeated several times over! However, we’re dedicated to taking the time to not only prepare our starter breeds, but to expand the breed compatibility for each accessory as soon as possible! 

New Information on the land of Kotemara

New information on the continent known as Kotemara, which is the name for the giant landmass that users will be joining when they play PawBorough. 

Kotemara is home to 7 Boroughs, which each have a capital, we're here to share the capital names for each!

Luna: Kotikansa Sol: Borheim  Upper Abyssal: Tsuribari Lower Abyssal: Umiya Zenith: Felkin Harvest: Hillshire Cogwheel: New Brassgate The Metropolis: The Spire

But there's something else...

The Wastes

The magic of the geological deposits that Catfolk are currently studying and learning has ran rampant in large areas around Kotemara, influencing the localized flora and fauna. These areas are home to large, powerful, magical beasts roaming the land, colloquially called Wastebeasts. Plant life either dies out, save for hardy, shrubby grasses and sparse foliage, or overgrows and mutates into a magical nightmare. 

All Wastebeasts are very dangerous and magically aggressive. Cats who brave the wastes seldom return home, and catfolk settlements bordering the wastes are frequently terrorized by Wastebeast attacks. 

The Spire, the head magical academy in The Metropolis, has sworn to make studying and controlling the Wastes its top priority in magical research and modernization. But the latest achievements coming from The Spire have been little more than pithy advancements in magical products...  

Independent organizations like Maven's Guild have cropped up around the Boroughs, with trained recruits helping scared cats cross the wastes, helping to fend off Wastebeasts from catfolk villages, and to assist with mundane errands. 

As you learn about Maven and her organization, you'll discover more about her connection to the Wastes... 

Alpha Retrospective

At the beginning of this month, we started dedicated Alpha testing. This was a challenging time, as we as a team have never before performed public-facing testing of this nature. 

But we are jovial and positive behind the scenes, because we have learned a lot regarding our own application, our development tactics, user feedback tracking, user desires, and community support management. This test-run has given us beginning experience on how the full game will function with an active user base, and has allowed us to foster a more prepared understanding for not only server preparation, but all further development efforts. 

In addition, the mass amounts of testing and QA reporting has truly helped to improve our development, as we can knock out and identify bugs much easier. We are thriving with this, able to swiftly chop and iterate upon any flaws found in the functionality. The flow of tickets means there’s always something to improve on, and we have burgeoned with this setup.  

The warm and positive attitude from our testers has also helped to lift our spirits. We’re very open to the criticism and feedback we have received on the application thus far! In fact, we’re duly grateful that so many users have put in their valuable time and energy to both constructively and bluntly critique what we have. Earnestly, with no aggression nor sarcasm: It is stellar that we have users who care. It means that we have something which people love, and want to see improve, and we could not ask for better! 

That being said, we were expecting more aggression and user vitriol than we actually received thus far, and it’s uplifted the spirits of our team in such a way that we’re real fired up!

Our biggest aspects we want to improve on going forward is: 

Better user-side communication. This will come as we grow and can expand our team. Right now, only two individuals handle user tickets, and with one of them being myself, who also handles a great brunt of not only user-side updates, but also all development management, and it can cause swift and detailed user-side communication to suffer. This is certainly a problem!  The infallible solution will be to hire more help once we have the resources, and for now we’ll do our best to structure the responsibility in a way which prioritizes communication more favorably for users in the coming future. We truly owe you all better! And we are very grateful that you are all so patient while we’re working this hard.

Better code management. In general, we’d like to see things come out the gate a little less breakable, and this is on us to improve. We’ve tightened our form, including running more tests before releasing updates or iterating, and we’re only seeing the application get stronger from here.

Staying vague on promising deadlines. Unfortunately, we did fall a month behind, and taking that into consideration, we're just not in a place to make sweeping promises on the timeline. We admit fault, and will learn from this. From here, we're going to err on the side of caution and simply take the time we need. It smarts that we have had so many roadbumps and delays, but what's important is that we are consistently making progress, and that the final product is robust and surpasses user expectation for fun and enjoyment. We're keeping our heads down and grinding on.

And here’s a summary of what we liked: 

Even without a gameplay loop, users have frequently reported having fun interacting with the mechanics. This implies that there’s an inherent enjoyment to the setup, and is one of the best omens for longevity as a game that we could receive. It means that, at our core, we have an enjoyable game. That’s huge! We can only improve!

We’ve knocked out bugs fast. Users have been happy to see new iterations frequently released for testing. 

Users are very eager to test, giving us detailed reports that improve our development.

In conclusion, this has been a hugely positive experience, and we’re excited to keep building and improving. 

We’re hoping to run this test for a few more weeks while we do the following:

Nail down intended functionality of all working mechanics. 

Iterate a few key functionalities: metamorphics, cross-team play, and potentially combat. 

We’ll then close the test, with an announcement of such a week before closing, and take some time to rest, reflect, iterate on any important aspects of the game that we’re missing, and polish what we have with the most pertinent user feedback. After which, we’ll prepare for the opening of Closed Beta! 

Here is an updated timeline to reflect how things are shaking out:

This will be cross-posted to our socials as we focus on updating them!

If I can provide a small update from myself, the project lead: Overall it’s been great, though I am personally working a lot. Between everything I do, I have been working myself to sleep most days of the week. Right now, I eat, I sleep, and I wake up to work on PawBorough, and many times I forgo the sleep part. So I have been extremely grateful for the positivity and patience from the user base, and I have to pre-emptively request a bit of grace and patience if I disappear for a time to get some rest. 

But saying this, I stress that you all do not worry about me! I am completely alright! In fact I am very happy to be working, and I love it. I simply want to communicate the amount of dedication I have right now, ask for a bit of grace if I'm slow to reply to questions or tickets, and to give a big THANK YOU for the opportunity you all have given me to be doing this. I really could not be more in love with PawBorough, and so far I see a bright path for it to grow its wings and flourish as it improves. I hope all of our supporters and users feel this with me!

And from here, I am going to be taking this upcoming weekend away to rest. But we'll be back bright and squirrelly on Monday!

To summarize: We shared the Southern Romanovtsa, Regal set recoloring, 2 new crests, the Gilded Crest accessory, the updated Harvest logo, an NPC wip, a lore drop for longterm conflict, and our Alpha retrospective.

What to expect next update: Further asset and development updates. Check-ins for how Alpha is going, updated Borough descriptions to put on the site, and any further plans we'll have to share.

Why are some people acting like Chris is a sitting bum?

He’s made movies consistently since marvel ended.

Yes, they haven’t all been hits but he also had two back to back mega hits in one year (2019) after 10 years of a legacy via an iconic character. That’s a pretty hard peak to top.

Rarely does anyone have an endless win streak, even true A listers.

There is an old interview with Chris where he mentions his ultimate goal has never been to be the biggest movie star, and that’s partly why he was so hesitant to take the Steve role.

His actions now that the MCU era is over kinda still reflect that. He is still working, and has three movies currently he’s working on.

His last few post marvel roles have mostly been supporting to second/third billing.

He’s never struck me as someone who has to be the “biggest” star on set and I always feel I have to defend that for some reason especially when angry anons go on rants about desperate for attention and unable to book leading roles.

Dude, even in the MCU and his own starring roles he’s never been about hogging the spotlight. That’s why RDJ got nearly more screentime than him in his own movie (civil war), that’s why RDJ gets the biggest send off in endgame and Steve Rogers storyline is reduced the way it was. Steve and Tony are both leaders in the marvel universe, but in the MCU Tony gets top billing because they centered their universe around him and then Steve.

I can’t speak for anyone, but I think he wants to keep working and he likes getting projects but he doesn’t need to be the star or lead the show. He’s happy when he gets to participate in something but I don’t see him needing to center all the press interviews or lead another franchise.

Sure, privileged white man, yes, but greedy attention seeking spotlight hog - no.

I can’t figure that out. Let’s see in less than a year he’s filmed an Audi ad, Jinx ad, done some voice work, did some work with ASP, cons, he’s filmed Honey Don’t, filmed The Materialists, and this is just what we know he’s done (and it’s more).

I think people need to just simmer down. Chris is working. He’s doing what he wants for his career. And that will just have to be good enough for everyone else.

List of Non-fiction Books on Autism

[Please note: I am only listing the books I have read on this list. This is not meant to be a comprehensive or complete list at all. I want to share the books that have been helpful to me so far. *Updated 09/17/23]

Approaching Autistic Adulthood: The Road Less Travelled by Grace Liu

| This book has a lot of advice about navigating adulthood as an autistic person. I found the advice on dealing with burnout especially helpful!

The Autism Friendly Cook Book by Lydia Wilkins

| This is one of my favorite books! If you're like me, and you really struggle with all things kitchen and cooking, this is a really helpful resource. Not only does it have a useful section that details techniques and supplies that you may need, but the recipes have an estimated energy and skill level! This book has helped me approach cooking more prepared, which helps me with coping with anxiety and preventing meltdowns.

Connecting with the Autism Spectrum: How to Talk, how to Listen, and Why you Shouldn't Call it High-Functioning by Casey "Remrov" Vormer

| This book is one of the most accessible books I've read so far. The language is both concise and easier to follow than most. It is less general than some other books on this list, so if you don't relate to it immediately or at all, that doesn't make you more or less autistic. Your experience (including location, assigned gender, gender identity, sexuality, co-occuring conditions, etc.) influence the way you exist as an autistic person.

Living with PTSD on the Autism Spectrum: Insightful Analysis with Practical Applications by Lisa Morgan, M.ED. and Mary P. Donahue, PH.D.

| If you're struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and are on the Autism spectrum, this book could be really helpful! It provides research in plain language and offers helpful examples of how PTSD and ASD can interact. It also shares insight on how to recognize abuse and trauma, as well as how to advocate/seek advocacy for yourself or loved ones with ASD. I think the personal examples are really helpful, but I do want to caution that these also make it another very specific reading experience. If you read it, and do not see your experience represented, that is not your fault!

Neurotribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity by Steve Silberman

| Written by a journalist, this book packs a lot of information! It focuses on the history of Autism as a diagnoses, and for that reasons can be overwhelming and heartbreaking at times. The author is (I think) overly sympathetic to H*ns Asp*rger's contribution to Autism research; but from what I understand, the book was written at a time before the extent of his involvement with the N*zi party was understood, so maybe a future addition will reflect what we know now much better. I'm grateful that I read it, because it put my own late diagnosis into a perspective that gives me a little bit more peace.

The Reason I Jump: The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism by Naoki Higashida

| This book is excellent to read for both autistic people and people who have an autistic loved one since it is focused on answering questions about how some autistic people think and behave (like stimming.) The author is an autistic boy who uses communication aids to express himself, and he has many insights into what it's like to have specific support needs and how it can be challenging to get those needs met.

Sensory: Life on the Spectrum organized and edited by Schnumm

| This is an anthology of comics by autistic creators who use visual story-telling to talk about their experiences. It was so nice to see my experiences in their stories, and to see other's experiences that I can't relate to as well!

Sincerely, Your Autistic Child: What People on the Autism Spectrum Wish Their Parents Knew About Growing Up, Acceptance, and Identity edited by Emily Page Ballou, Sharon daVanport, and Morénike Giwa Onaiwu

| This collection of essays/letters is wonderful, especially if you wish to learn more about the experiences of a diverse group of autistic people. It highlights that there are as many ways to be autistic as there are autistic people in the world (something that many of the books on this list say.)

Spectrums: Autistic Trans People in Their Own Words edited by Maxfield Sparrow

| "friend of mine, i am here, too. i am flapping and humming and feeling and being. i am learning who i am, i am being who i am, i am being loud and bright and joyful and true! and they are afraid, and they do not understand, but i am not for them, and friend of mine, neither are you" (from "a letter to a friend" by ren koloni).

This collection is so, so important to me as a genderqueer autist. The above quote is from my favorite contribution in the book, and I'm so grateful to the author for their words.

Unmasking Autism: Discovering the New Faces of Neurodiversity by Dr. Devon Price

| This was the first book I read when I learned that I'm autistic. It is informative and compassionate. I think it is on the lower end of accessibility on the list so far, but it still does a wonderful job of explaining some of the difficult concepts. I think Dr. Price's explanation of the difference between bottom-up and top-down thinking is the best I've read so far, which was especially difficult for me to wrap my head around as a literal thinker. Just remember that if you pick up a book and it's difficult to understand, you're allowed to ask for help, take time to away from it, or put it down for good.

-

That's the list so far! I'm constantly searching for more books to read, so if you have recommendations, please let me know!

There Is None Righteous

1 Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision? 2 Great in every respect. First of all, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God. 3 What then? If some did not believe, does their unbelief abolish the faithfulness of God? 4 May it never be! Rather, let God be true and every man a liar, as it is written,

“That You may be justified in Your words, And overcome when You are judged.”

5 But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is the God who inflicts wrath unrighteous? (I am speaking in human terms.) 6 May it never be! For otherwise, how will God judge the world? 7 But if through my lie the truth of God abounded to His glory, why am I also still being judged as a sinner? 8 And why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), “Let us do evil that good may come”? Their condemnation is just.

9 What then? Are we better? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin; 10 as it is written,

“There is none righteous, not even one; 11 There is none who understands, There is none who seeks for God; 12 All have turned aside, together they have become worthless; There is none who does good, There is not even one.” 13 “Their throat is an open tomb, With their tongues they keep deceiving,” “The poison of asps is under their lips”; 14 “Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness”; 15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood, 16 Destruction and misery are in their paths, 17 And the path of peace they have not known.” 18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

19 Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are in the Law, so that every mouth may be shut and all the world may become accountable to God; 20 because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.

The Righteousness of God through Faith

21 But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; 25 whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith, for a demonstration of His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; 26 for the demonstration of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

27 Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. 28 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law. 29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30 since indeed God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that faith, is one.

31 Do we then abolish the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law. — Romans 3 | Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) Legacy Standard Bible Copyright ©2021 by The Lockman Foundation. All rights reserved.

Albus Severus Potter - son of Hades and the legacy of Miseria.

Animals and magical creatures don't like Albus. Cats hiss at him, dogs bark, griffins want to trample on him, except for snakes, they adore him. it's mutual. Albus has a pet snake, an albino Asp named Asterius, and his pockets are full of bags of dried insects to feed any snake he meets. And He's a Parseltongue, it comes from Hades because his one of his sacred animals is snakes.

Wow I love it!

But cats hate Albus may make him very sad , he loves cats.Snakes are his few friends,Albus loves them.but he's always with snakes makes him even weirder .Scorpius doesn’t mind snakes,but snakes don’t like him. It's embarrassing. Albus is trying to find a balance between the two.

Let me know if you have any ideas, I love talking about it🥰🥰

[obscuremarvelmuses]

Asp aka Cleopatra Nefertiti (which I pray is a stage name) is an exotic dancer in addition to a supervillain-for-hire merc, so my first inclination was to put her in something based on an Egyptian bedlah (belly dancer costume) as I love the beautiful details those have. But then I thought, while I’m sure she exploits Orientalist visions on stage for the money, she’s someone who is actually FROM Egypt, she knows it as the modern country it is. So for her representation of herself on her own time, and at a gala no less, I looked up modern Egyptian designers, and took inspiration from dresses in “The Legacy Returns” collection by Farida Temraz, but still gave it some bedlah vibes too because I think she definitely loves to dance and would want to do so at the Gala!

Empowering Everyday Australians The Research Legacy of Kalkine’s Pty. Ltd.

Financial awareness is no longer limited to elite professionals in suits trading on busy floors. Today, Australians from all walks of life are engaging with markets—checking portfolios over coffee, scanning company announcements during commutes, and tuning into economic news before bed. In this era of increased public financial participation, Kalkine’s Pty. Ltd. has emerged as a transformative force—bridging the gap between technical market analysis and the everyday investor’s need for reliable, relatable information.

The rise of mobile finance apps and digital brokerage platforms has made investing more accessible. However, access alone isn’t enough. What Australians truly need is trustworthy content that explains what’s happening, why it matters, and what data supports the story. This is where Kalkine’s Pty. Ltd. excels.

Elevating the Standard of Financial Communication

Every investor, whether seasoned or new, faces the challenge of filtering quality from noise. The digital finance world is flooded with speculative headlines, conflicting forecasts, and recycled content. Kalkine’s Pty. Ltd. counters this chaos with calm, evidence-based publishing. Its content doesn’t chase trends—it contextualizes them.

Whether covering a small-cap energy stock or offering a broader review of ASX performance, Kalkine’s Pty. Ltd. makes sure its readers receive content they can trust and understand.

Building Tools, Not Just Reports

What sets the firm apart isn’t just what it publishes—but how that information becomes a tool for decision-making. Research is not just a document; it’s a utility. Kalkine’s Pty.

Its equity research often includes peer benchmarking, trend visuals, and key ratio summaries—making it easier for readers to compare companies or sectors at a glance. This isn’t just about knowing what’s happening, but also understanding what that means from a broader portfolio perspective.

Blending Human Judgment with Smart Systems

The firm’s research process is far from mechanical. Yes, there are systems in place for data collection, charting, and metric analysis—but every publication is reviewed and refined by actual professionals with sector expertise. This marriage of technology and judgment helps ensure that context is never lost.

Digital distribution plays a key role. From early morning email alerts to dashboard updates, Kalkine’s Pty. Ltd. delivers content at the right time, in the right format. Whether a user prefers PDF, mobile reading, or interactive formats, accessibility is built into the system.

Through its webinars, explainer series, and plain-language blogs, the company has positioned itself not just as a service provider—but as a cultural resource for Australians seeking greater financial understanding.

It's not about giving answers—it’s about helping people learn to ask better questions. That educational mission is what makes the company’s role in the finance ecosystem not only valuable, but vital.

Why Trust Matters More Than Ever

Parthenon

As I continue to walk up the stairs, I get closer to the Parthenon. I know as I reached the Acropolis, I gave a brief description of what I saw from afar when it came to the Parthenon, but it is more detailed and beautiful up close. It is mentioned that the sculptures are created as a story behind the birth of Athena. Once I arrive, I notice how each god and horse is sculptured in the pediment. It looks like it is delivering a story between all the gods of Athens. I noticed during the rebuilding of the Parthenon there are new sculptures at the entrance, the smell of fresh cut marble and new sculpture smells appear stronger as I am surrounded by the work Pericles has done with architect Ictinus. It is mentioned how the Parthenon was originally built to worship a goddess, Athena, but it has become a well-known building in the representation of Athens and has become a part of their culture during the rebuild after the Persian War. As I continue to walk into the Parthenon building, Athena is in the center, “the great gold and ivory statue” (Pausanias) looking powerful and a well presentation of how strong Athens is, this is due to the help of Pericles. As I look around, I see Athenian citizens surrounding the Parthenon, some are vendors that appear far away from the Parthenon but surrounding the Acropolis down the stairs into the streets. But the Delian League is present. These are members that support Athens by providing money or troops and they look powerful. They are talking among themselves about keeping Athens strong and how the rebuilding of the Acropolis is important to them and the rest of the citizens, the league was created after the war as protection to their people and city. Also, there are men of all classes except slaves that have entered the Parthenon to participate in religion, they look like they are honoring Athena, she was seen as a guardian of Athens and worshipping her would allow them to feel safe in their city.
