Happy New Year everyone! This week I have returned to the site
and it was time to reflect upon last year and how to improve for
the new one. I did take time to look through what was done and what
still needs to be done. A plan of action has been made and there's
so many great things coming!
First, let's talk about what's coming. There will be many
features that bring people together and also reward people for
using the site and improving themselves. I was complimented about
how the daily login rewards is helping them come back to practice
Japanese every day and theory really worked in practice. I'm really
happy that it helps people like that so I put extra energy into
this month's daily login rewards.
Speaking of which, the daily login rewards was a bit broken
and didn't like this month. I took it apart and fixed it. Now it
works and we'll see next month if it works perfectly as
expected.
In the coming weeks, many features will be completed, Yokai
Trainers will be functional (right now it's not really great),
there will be achievements, daily missions and more rewards
including Avatar cover designs, Themes, XP and J-Coin boosters, AP
Coins, Level based rewards, progression system and more.
But let's not discount the main features of the site as
JPLearn! Will be seeing a remake and there will be amazing study
features within it. I'm pretty excited about it and they will also
tie-in with the Jappleng Mobile app which is coming soon.
New Treasure / Mochi and Key
system
As I have mentioned earlier, I spent quite a bit of time
working on a new system. Moreso because Photoshop, Blender and UE4
were crashing on my new computer. The drivers aren't ready for a
3080 RTX so they are crashing a lot causing a lot of "try again".
You can see with the keys how I gave up on them, they should look
better and have a rope on the back but I didn't want to waste more
time until they fix it.
In order to obtain treasure and keys you can login every day
and get them from daily rewards. If you prefer you can use your
mochi to purchase them from the mochi shop. This is an event-only
currency used only for this event but if you don't use them by the
end of the event, you can still buy things with them
whenever.

New Staff
New staff is on their way, they are presently being trained
and prepared to help. It's a new year and a good time to open the
project to other people who are excited just like me. They will
introduce themselves at a later time when it is official.
Kana Pop Updates
Kana Pop will be receiving updates in a few days. Details
about this will be released upon completion. Please look forward to
it!
