Hello there, DinoMan here with a new public release for CBLT! I give thanks to the entire dev team, who have been a big help in regards to the development of this update, as well as the betas who have been hard at work testing for bugs. A huge shoutout to my Patrons as well, who have been willing to help financially support the development of the game.

It's been a while since I last posted an update for CBLT, for which I apologise. This past year has... more or less been plagued with mental health issues for me, and I had to take a hiatus while I focused on feeling better. However, I'm back now, and hopefully ready to start making CBLT again! 

As always, don’t forget to give any feedback and report any bugs on: THE CBLT DISCORD SERVER

WHAT’S NEW IN CBLT RECODE 0.2?!

Week One 90% Complete – The adventures of Team CBLT continue! Having survived Initiation, the team are ready for their first day of classes! They'll be getting to know their new teachers, as well as more of their classmates... and as Beacon is a school for fighting monsters, they will need to keep their skills up - and who better to train against than the other first years?
(Combat Scenes are not yet Written.)

Schnee Dust Store Now Open For Business! This is intended to serve as a temporary replacement for From Dust Til Dawn, due to reconstructions taking place at the latter for a good while after the robbery taking place at the very start of Volume 1.

The Gym is open! And you won't find just one person hanging around to train with. There are no skills for you to level up in at this moment in time, so the Gym is primarily a place to pass the time until further notice.

New Backgrounds (Bunnyvoid) - Our background artist has continued to provide us with shiny new backgrounds to replace the old JPDE ones - you'll be exploring more of CBLT's dorm room in this update, as well as get a sneak peek into the room of Team RWBY themselves! Don't worry, the bunk beds only look unsafe.

New Music Pieces (ProjectTrinity) Our composer has made a lot of new music pieces for us since CBLT 0.1's recode came out. We've got 'A Revisited Place', 'An Average Day', 'Friends at a Gathering', 'Shootdown', and 'Return to the Palace' replacing some of the old tracks that appeared in JPDE.

Scroll GUI (RabbitVI) Since 0.1, I've been working hard with one of our GUI Artists, RabbitVI, to make a brand new scroll that you will be able to interact with in the game! Nothing's actually functional at this moment in time, but you'll be able to explore the contacts list, as well as an exciting new feature...

BLAZE MODE!!! (Coming Soon) CBLT has always had two protagonists, but we've only been able to see the point of view for just one of them. With the upcoming Blaze Mode, you'll be able to let Blaze Achen take over as the game's player character and unlock exciting new opportunities for interactions! Nothing's up and running yet, but switch over to her when you get the chance for a peek at her scroll customisations!

Weiss Schnee (New Character) - The heiress of the Schnee Dust Company, Weiss Schnee has made the surprising choice to study at Vale's Hunstman Academy, instead of closer to home. While often referred to as 'The Ice Queen', and especially acting as one around her new team leader,her classmates may just be able to get her to reveal the good heart underneath...

Blake Belladonna (New Character) - Blake Belladonna... a quiet and mysterious girl of seemingly few words, Blake is likely to be found in the middle of a good book, quietly reading away regardless of who comes to interrupt her. One of the first things you'll notice about Blake is the curious bow on her head. It goes great with her... pyjamas.

Jaune Arc (New Character) -  With a name that's short, sweet, and rolls off the tongue, Jaune Arc is... not quite what one would expect for the new leader of Team JNPR. He's not exactly the most skilled on his team... or any of the teams... but he still managed to survive Beacon's initiation and a Deathstalker! Only time will tell if he'll be able to catch up to the rest of his team.

Nora Valkyrie (New Character) - Nora Valkyrie! Nora is the most energetic member of Team JNPR, and is certainly bright and bubbly too! Unfortunately for her team, she does not have much in the way of subtlety, and is constantly on the warpath for pancakes... and that's quite possibly very literal, with how she once suggested breaking someone's legs.

Pyrrha Nikos (New Character) - The Invincible Girl has come to Beacon! Tournament Winner Pyrrha Nikos is certainly a contender for the position of top fighter amongst the first years, and brings plenty of skill and experience to Team JNPR - a strong contrast to her partner, Jaune Arc. And yet... with fame like hers, will her classmates see the real person she is, or just the mighty warrior she has been through four regional Mistral tournaments?

Lie Ren  (New Character) - JNPR is certainly full of contrasts, it seems. While Nora Valkyrie is loud, bubbly and energetic, Lie Ren is the opposite. He is very mellow, and like Blake Belladonna, seems to wish for peace and quiet. Surprising, considering how he's been joined at the hip with Nora for years without ever being bothered by her happy-go-lucky personality. But yet, he has a great amount of patience for the childhood friend he's been together with for years. But not... together-together... I think...

Professor Port (New Character) - Peter Port is the professor who will be teaching the First Years of Beacon Academy all about the monsters they'll be fighting - the Creature of Grimm. His classes aren't exactly the most engaging of lessons, with each one being full of stories that seem nigh impossible and is just too... elaborately worded.

Doctor Oobleck (New Character) - Bartholomew Oobleck. Possibly the fastest talker in the entirety of Remnant, and that may be because of the coffee he always seems to have with him wherever he goes. The Doctor who will be teaching the students of Beacon all about Remnant's history is a man who is difficult to keep up with, and the class will need to pick up fast writing skills if they want to be able to take down notes on half the things he says.

Professor Peach (New Character) - Amanita Peach. The woman who will be teaching Beacon Academy all about dust - when she isn't too absorbed in her own personal experiments to remember to teach the class, that is. With her leading the class, CBLT's studies will definitely be interesting... but hopefully nobody sneezes when working with dust and accidentally sets off an explosion - like Ruby did. :P

Kyrus Lowën - He's not there? Blast it, who's going to be taking up the Aura classes until he turns up?
Taiyang Xiao Long (New Character) - With the usual aura professor not able to reach Beacon Academy in time, the class will be taught by a substitute teacher that they've brought in from Signal Academy: Taiyang Xiao Long. An experienced member of the former Team STRQ, Taiyang will certainly have much to impart until Professor Lowën finally turns up... if he ever does. One cannot help but wonder though... is he related to Yang Xiao Long?

That’s all for RECODE 0.2! If you haven’t already, I encourage you to check out Rooster Teeth's RWBY, on Rooster Teeth.
