Sleek higanbana (red spider lily) themed modern outfit by Furifu.

This kimono is a modern take on the “muso” technique, a see-through tailoring which uses fine sha silk to unveil a pattern painted on the lining.

Here Furifu calls this tailoring nijuushitate (二重仕立て, lit. double tailoring), and drapes blood red higanbana under a misty over layer.

The matching obidome adds a very cool detail!

Update #4 -- Let's Talk SFX (and music!)

SFX, one of the many important factors of the game development process.

Pressing a button? SFX are involved.

Running? SFX: involved.

Doing literally anything? You guessed it; SFX: involved.

SFX are major and essential, especially for MUSO - which is why we're redoing every major sound effect in the game. Almost every sound that was featured in our original demo has been remade, and this will include a few voice lines as well.

Here, I'll be generous enough to give you a listen as well!

(The original Cursor sound)

(New and improved cursor sound!)

And it's not just SFX either, we've been moving onto songs as well!

A good portion of songs we didn't feel fit the same style anymore have been completely revamped and reimagined, and there's still more to show! Out of the two we've showcased, there's even more songs that have been finished, just waiting to grace your ears!

Anyway, that's all for today's update.

See you soon!

You know how to feasibly do a Pretty Cure musou game? Instead of trying to make every single cure playable, they could introduce a completey original team of maybe 4 - 6 girls and let the girls equip the powers and weapons of cures of that same color/archetype, like how spirits work in smash bros. Like if you wanna play as a blue cure you could pick the new cure and give her Marine's ADHD explosion or Spicy's bread magic. That way you could represent the entire franchise without leaving anyone out and still keep it fresh with an original story with original characters.

Muso: I was a very ferocious bandit, which meant a lot of killing, a lot of pillaging. People would say, "Please! Don't pillage me!" and I would say, "No, I'm pillaging everyone, you included"

Seeing your posts on spiders, I’m curious about something. We see Onigumo’s face in manga when Naraku takes it back so Kikyo can’t purify him completely and it’s nigh identical to Hitomi’s. We could chalk this up to artist style, but I always wondered if Hitomi was Onigumo’s like grandnephew or something via a sister who married a lord because she was pretty (it was a thing that happened sometimes) and had kids who were one of Hitomi’s parents and that’s why Naraku specifically keeps that face, because it’s so similar to Onigumo’s old one. I’m curious to your thoughts on that?

Wait WHAT??? WE HAD A FACE REVEAL???

I thought the closest we ever got to a face reveal was when Muso stole one off a pretty boi monk? Any version of Onigumo I know is flashbacks of him either being already burned and covered in bandages, or actively being a bandit but not showing us his face because ooooh~ mystery.

I’m googling manga photos now!!!

Maybe these aren’t the right panels, because Muso still has the monk’s face 😭 Is there a specific one you’re talking about????

NowVIZ mag's season 2023 digital issue is finally out with the interview & photoshoot with Lorenzo that was done before his participation in the Miami Masters 1000 (you'll remember those sneak pics...😏🥵)!❤️‍🔥

Often, it's a single moment in the course of your career, a moment that may be overlooked by onlookers, that makes you realize you're on the right road.

For Italian Tennis pro Lorenzo Musetti, that came after a five-set loss to former world No. 1 Novak Djokovic at the 2021 French Open. The then 19-year-old Musetti took the first two sets against the Serbian maestro in what was his Grand Slam debut.

"It was a fantastic experience. I was playing my best tennis, for sure," the young player who ranked 76th at the time later told the press, adding, "Now I know how I can play, how far I am from the biggest in the tour, like Nole, so I know that if I play good I can stay at this level."

It was a moment of clarity for Musetti that propelled the player to become one of ltaly's top three tennis players less than two years later. But though he claimed his highest ATP ranking ranking of World No. 15 on 26 June 2023, the road to sporting success had been a long time coming for the Italian star.

Musetti, who was born in Carrara, Tuscany, in Northern ltaly, on 3 March 2002, began playing tennis at the incredibly young age of four. When it quickly became obvious that he had a gift for the game, his father, Francesco, a marble producer, and his mother, Sabrina, a secretary in a local Tuscan company, didn't hesitate to support their only child's tennis dreams.

At the age of 10, Musetti was taken under the wing of tennis coach, Simone Tartarini, who has remained the Italian champ's coach to this day. A regimented training routine and the tight circle of supportive family and friends around him were instrumental in keeping Musetti focused during his teen years as he evolved into a strong junior player.

Between 2016 and 2019, the young Italian won seven singles titles, reaching his peak as the winner of the 2019 Australian Open boys' singles and ranking junior world No. 1 that same year.

2019 was also the year that the star player turned pro. Receiving a wildcard and passing the qualifiers, 17-year-old Musetti made his ATP Tour debut at the Dubai Tennis Championships in February 2020.

In 2021, he reached the semifinals of the ATP Tour 500 Mexican Open where he had his first top-10 win, beating world no. 9 Diego Schwartzman in three sets. Later, he played in the Lyon Open and the French Open, and finished the season with the Next Generation ATP Finals.

In 2022, the determined tennis dynamo scored 44 wins from 74 matches. He scooped winning titles at the Napoli Tennis Cup and the Hamburg European Open, where he beat current Wimbledon winner Carlos Alcaraz. Reaching the quarterfinals of the Paris Masters 1000 Musetti faced-off with Novak Djokovic once again and took another loss against the tennis superstar.

That would change in 2023. In a three-set thriller against Djokovic at the Monte Carlo Masters in April 2023, Musetti finally defeated the former world No. 1 and reached the championship's quarter finals.

"I am really proud of myself," the ltalian player told the media in his on-court victory interview afterwards. "I am struggling not to cry because it is a dream..."

And though he added, "Beating Novak is something remarkable for me," perhaps, beating Djokovic was also an inevitable step on the road to tennis greatness that only a few years ago Musetti had realized was the actual road he was on.

Lorenzo has the phrase, 'Il meglio deve ancora venire' tattooed on the side of his chest. Translated in English as, 'The Best is Yet to Come' inspired by a song from Ligabue.

You've been on fire this 2023 season making your top 20 ranking debut with a career-high singles ATP ranking world No.15!

At this year's Monte-Carlo Master's you upset world No. 1 and top seed Novak Djokovic to reach your second Master's quarterfinal. Then you went to the fourth round at the French Open, and the third round at Wimbledon! Will you talk about some of your best moments?

@lore_musetti: "My best moment in this season so far was when I had the chance to beat Nole. I was living a dream for sure! It was the best win in my career and something that I won't forget!"

@djokernole praise on Musetti's game at 2021 Roland Garros: "I really like how he plays. He's got a lot of firepower from both forehand and backhand. He can play with a lot of spin. He's got a great feel, come to the net. He can play short balls and dropshots. He can flatten out his serve. He can open up with a good kick and slice. He's got an all-around game."

You've been coached by Simone Tartarini since the beginning of your career. What is it that makes him a great coach for you?

"Simone is more than a coach; for me, he is like a parent. We have shared a lot of memories and experiences during our relationship and he definitely knows what I need to do the most."

Every top athlete seems to have or has had a mentor, friend, or someone in their corner to offer guidance. We wonder if you do and, if so, how have they helped?

"I think my family is the best support system I could ever dream of. They are always there for me and they are always supporting me."

What motivates and inspires you daily?

"My daily motivation is to get better every day so that I reach my goals!"

You travel extensively when on tour. So besides playing tennis, how do you stay physically fit?

"I train every day either in the gym or the track field. The fitness part is something really important in our sport, but training is also important for my health."

As a top player how do you stay in control of your game mentally?

"I work daily with a psychologist; the mental side is equally as important as the physical side in this sport. It is a long process to develop and takes time to be defined."

How do you fuel your body nutritionally throughout the season? Is there a specific diet or regime you follow?

"I try to stay as healthy as possible and follow a meal plan, especially during tournament week."

"Music is probably my biggest passion. I'm a huge fan of music in general and I listen to it a lot during the day - literally, every kind of music!"

"The top of one mountain is the bottom of the next. So keep climbing!"

-Lorenzo Musetti (do you remember when he wrote this...?🥺💪🏻🏔🤍)

[Ryûgû no sasoi - Invitation to the Dragon's Palace] modern summer kimono by Furifu, inspired by undersea princess Otohime from Japanese folktale Urashima Tarō.

This design is a modern take on the “muso” technique, a see-through tailoring using fine sha silk to unveil a pattern painted on a lining. Here Furifu uses a sheer black layer over a lining depicting colorful shells and sea-life arrangements.

The bottom hem is interesting, as Furifu stresses they used fringes as to mimic algae swaying in currents:

Happy-Almost-Thanksgiving! + We're Back!

Thanksgiving is coming up! Though it's a harsh time, we have to look on the bright side of things. What are you thankful for? Here at Team Treecorner, we're all thankful for you! The people interested in our little project. 😊

Aside from all that though, we're back! I know you're probably all wondering... "What happened to you guys?!"

To put it short, we were working. Like, we were working hard.

Due to some issues, we had to switch engines & rebuild a good portion of the game from scratch, but we're perfectly fine now and working happily with Godot 4.3.

We'll be sure to give more updates later, but progress is starting to pick up again!

We've also hired more developers too, so it'll be a bit faster this time.

Demo sometime, probably not this year though.
