JPDE peeps, RWBY fans, I hope you've all had time to metabolize what happened in Episode 06 (also the fact that RWBY is now at VizMedia)! Episode 07 won't go as heavy with the bombshells, as it is mainly a follow-up and set-up episode but do still be wary.

There's no battles, only conversations, sure, but one particular conversation can lead to places if you turn on the Xtras in the settings menu.

There's exploration, which leads to interesting lore and reveals... But also, some returns.

Episode 07 sees the return of some old faces from JPDE and RWBY alike and, let me tell you... You're not prepared for what you're about to see. I wasn't myself, when it suddenly occurred to me where I was going to take some of these characters... So, I can't wait to hear and see your reactions!

If you do it on TikTok, Instagram or Twitter, be sure to tag our official accounts! We now have a new team-only Twitter, which will be different from my personal one. Also, let me take the opportunity to welcome Mary to the team as our new Social Media Manager! We met during SMMR of RWBY and she's amazing, as I'm sure you'll notice soon.

Returning to the release, please be sure to use the verUPDATE function in the Scroll Menu before doing anything else if you're loading an older save file. There are a few fixes for the battle system (status effects should now work as intended) and we now also have A CALENDAR! You can see what time-keeping in my version of Remnant looks like! It's pretty barren for now but expect regular additions of dates, anniversaries, birthdays and the like!

If after you finish Episode 07 you can't wait to see that cliffhanger resolved and want more, consider supporting us on Patreon or Ko-fi to get access to Episode 08 on the 24th of July! Every dollar goes to paying the team members and we've recently unlocked a new stretch goal: if we reach it, Drengade from Combat Ready Studios will be making 3D Character Models for JPDE2, with the aim of creating animated cutscenes!

And lastly, we've started putting JPDE Music Tracks on Streaming Services! We've only released a couple tracks so far but we aim to put out a first album of songs from JPDE2 in the fall!

I hope you enjoy this release, and I will see you in August! Have a great summer, everyone!
