Site Update
Escaped from Kaiyo's basement to bring everyone some more updates for Fauna Frenzy.
Treacherous Triangle - Bridge
A new realm has been added, bringing Ay's Bridge into the Frenzy. The Bridge starts off easy, but as you further progress expect the difficulty to ramp up. Those who beat the levels in Bitter Barrens won't see much challenge from the bridge until the later levels, but with more stars to collect, I'm sure you'll all be kept busy (and frustrated) trying to get them all!
Regardless of your fauna's levels, The Bridge is the perfect stage to get some practice in with the game mechanics before we release more difficult levels.
Rune Components
Despite our warnings not to enter the Frenzy until we learn more about it, Querel has been found tinkering with the runes and made an interesting discovery: The runes can be made to have other uses! Querel won't tell me what those uses are yet, but he has created a device to auto harvest runes after a battle. I went ahead and installed the device as to his specification, but I'm still not entirely sure how exactly it works or where the runes go once harvested.
Just know that any runes left over after a battle will be added to your Frenzy inventory. I'll continue to pester Querel and as soon as I get answers, I'll be sure to share it with everyone.
Misc
While the game itself has received a few updates, most of work was put into creating tools that staff can use to create realms and levels with ease. We're hoping with these tools we better balance the game. With these tools though, we need data. Whenever you play any level in Fauna Frenzy, started logging the results of those battles so that we can figure out what levels players are having problems with and help us pin point what we can do to make the level balance if deemed not balanced.
What does this mean for you? As you play levels, you'll help us figure out if things are going the way we want or not. With each future update, we'll use that information to balance existing levels and determine how to set up new levels for other realms.
About Future Updates
We were planning to release fusioning next month, but will be delaying that until later this year. Because of the site's hibernation status, we must focus our time on getting a few other things done before we are able to pump more content (we have two more realms planned each with three stages, a store for purchasing XP tokens and components, and an arena mode). Once I catch up with my chores, I'll be sure to add an explosion of content to this, but until then I ask everyone be patience. I already juggle so much that I'm not making much progress on anything, so now I want to take a break and focus on the recode.
And on cue, I can hear Kaiyo's footsteps. Back to the basement for me :(
That's all for now. I hope everyone enjoy this update, and expect more content to be added around mid-November.
Oh, and before I forget, v2.0.3 changelog:

Huzzah! Do we need to do anything to provide you with logs? Or everything is just automatic?
I hope you're keeping cool in the basement at least ^^;

Grace (#31172) - For bugs, provide as much info as you can. If I cannot replicate it, I cannot fix it :(
For balancing, everything is automatic. When ever I whip out the level editor, I can import the logs to see how everyone is doing on certain levels.

Where do we report bugs for fauna frenzy? ^^; sorry if this was said anywhere!! I can't access the game on any browser on mobile - not sure if it's just my phone being odd though.

Exciting! Loving it so far! The Triangle being so easy is a great excuse to train up some of my weaker fauna in my roster. I'm still getting unexpected server closing glitches that steal whole battles from me, and I'm still getting the glitch where if I match runes fast enough, some of them wind up with mismatched sprites and elements (which makes matching REALLY annoying), but otherwise I'm very excited!

XerxesTexasToast (#75910) - I do apologize about this. I know how frustrating it can be to make progress in the game only for it to crash on you. I am still trying to find a way to duplicate these issues on demand so I can find out exactly what's going wrong. I'm hoping the logging script I put in place will help me pin point this issue.

*Yasu (#3410) And I'm hoping my frequent gameplay can provide enough log data for the diagnostics! Good luck!

I might have run into a bug. ><
I opened the game for the first time on my end (I think Namine has opened it before?) but no fauna were available to use.
