Hello, Boisegang here.

v.0.4 for KIE has been released. Patch notes are here.

The Lore Primer PDF and the google doc are not yet updated, primarily due to time constraints on my end. Turns out that trying to keep track of changes across multiple documents is extremely exhausting.

Big thanks to Thief for getting this patch done, he's been the MVP for the past few months.

Patch Highlights:

• Talent reworks for Shieldbearer and Blacksmith
• Ghost Mantis and Cicada reworks to bring them in line while retaining their core fantasies
• KIE-OWD gear (GMS license) now has a prefix to separate it from the standard GMS equipment. This should make it easier to understand what was added by this homebrew, especially if you're an .lcp collector like me.

If there are any issues with the patch, please let us know in the comments or in the third party forum thread in the Pilot.Net discord server.

0.4 represents a pretty important milestone in KIE's development, as it is something I feel is "feature complete", but we still plan on expanding it when we get the chance. Scope and content creep are killers of pretty much any project (especially volunteer and passion projects like this one), so keeping these under control is critical.

Future Content Plans (in order of most likely to happen):

• Extra Concept Art for the Lore Primer/Field Guide to Jovo
• LL0-LL2 intro campaign for Field Guide to Jovo/KIE (Thief is currently working on this but it can take a while)
• New KIE-OWD gear/Core Bonuses
• New KIE-OWD alts
• Alt Frames for existing KIE licenses
• New KIE Licenses

This is not a guarantee of what will happen-- it's a wishlist, not a roadmap. 

Until next time,

- Max
