In some cities around the San Francisco Bay, daily records have been shattered by more than 10 degrees. WHAT HEAT WAVES DO TO THE SUNSET: A record-breaking heat wave is smothering California this week. NOAA forecasters say there is a 5% chance of M-class flares and no more than a 1% chance of X-flares on Sept. The solar disk is peppered with sunspots, but all of them have stable magnetic fields unlikely to explode. Neutron counts from the University of Oulu's Sodankyla Geophysical Observatory show that cosmic rays reaching Earth are slowly declining-a result of the yin-yang relationship between the solar cycle and cosmic rays.

While we’re getting ready to slow down and take a break for the holidays, the entire Star Stable Online team is optimistic about what 2022 will bring.Sunspot AR3096 is growing rapidly, but it does not yet pose a threat for strong flares.
There are exciting plans in place, but we don’t want to rush to get there without making it a meaningful experience. We also realized we need another new character…one you’ve definitely caught a glimpse of if you follow us on other channels! Concepting for that new character is ongoing now and we hope to share her progress with you in the near future.Įven though the Dark Riders are wrapping up, it might take some time before we reach their parts of the story within the game. That is also planned for the first half of next year.Īnne received a few small adjustments this year, as her story will indeed continue early next year. Her horse, Nihili, is quite unique (with more than meets the eye) and will be one of the last of the group to receive animations.
Our music team is especially excited about this character!įinally, this deceptively cute addition is Chiyo! She is ready for her animations to begin after the holiday break. Her animations are currently in progress, while her companion horse, Mortifa, is wrapped up and ready to go. The haunting creature I’m proud to share with you next is Katja. We’ll be starting her animations in January, with her companion horse, Acerbus, receiving animation work early next year as well. You may be familiar with Jessica, but allow me to introduce her now as Jay – the Dark Rider who makes everything she does look effortless. Her companion horse, Khaan, is still in need of some personalized animations to let his intimidating nature shine through. Sabine is the first Dark Rider to be entirely completed! This means she has been through the entire creation process – concepting, modeling (3D art), rigging, skinning, animating, and being implemented into the game itself. Many of you saw a sneaky peek of Sabine – fierce and honorable (in her own way, of course). What you see is subject to change based on additional findings.
Please keep in mind that what we’re sharing is from our earlier exploration process, nothing is final and there are still many questions and requirements to explore. While there is still work to do, we are excited to share a sneak peek at some of our concept work. We want to push the look and feel of our characters forward, with inclusivity and diversity leading the way! We hoped so too when we spoke about it at the end of 2020, but we realized along the way that our plans needed to change – not such an uncommon occurrence in game development!īehind the scenes, we have been hard at work and big things are already happening, with a growing team led by a great producer who is working hard on answering important questions (For example: Can our clothing and animations adjust to different body shapes? Will all character types fit on all horses? How can we implement new hairstyles and make-up in a way that won’t affect game performance?). This is a very big and very important project, and we understand that people hoped this would be out in 2021. On the top of your mind are, of course, updated characters!
