It's the last Saturday of the month in Japan, and that means it's time for another blog update.

Here's the quick and dirty.
Sheep Girl
An always cheerful, heavy drinking Sheep.
Be wary, as they can act violently or sleep heavily after drinking alcohol.
Fernandez
The elf swordsman who has become legend even among monsters.
Though her life is shrouded in mystery, her sword skills have been called the best of the last century.
However, she disappeared several decades ago, and has yet to make an appearance since.
As said before, 4 party members can participate in combat simultaneously.
You can have 4 more members in reserve, meaning a total of 8 party members.
Party members can be swapped at the start of a turn during battle or while on the map. The system is akin to the wagon found in Dragon Quest 5-6.
If the number of companions you acquire exceed 8 then the remainder will standby at your base.
You can freely replace members back at base.
Luka cannot be removed from the party of 8.
The will be approximately 550 monsters in the game (with around 200 of them coming from previous chapters). RPGs often make "new" enemies by changing the color scheme of an earlier existing enemy. That won't be the case here.
About all 550 monsters will have H scenes for defeat and temptation events, and all of them can become companions.
However, most monsters reappearing from previous chapters will reuse their old CGs.
(As said before, main characters and some popular characters will have new H/CG scenes).
Moreover, H scenes involving a companion monster have many modifications to both the introduction and end that differentiate them from defeat H scenes.
Finally, there is a Monsterpedia, (as well as a character book, item book, etc.) through which you can view details about your adventure, previously viewed Hscenes, and HCGs.
It will still take time before the project is completed.
