- Bonfi - The Draconic Assassin - 15 March 2026
Get a glimpse beyond the veil before you meet this enigmatic beauty in-game! It’s time to introduce the final party member. Bonfi serves under you as a powerful melee DPS, a dragon assassin whose draconic traits you’ve already glimpsed in earlier previews, including her full dragon form that doubles as a flying mount. Like the rest of the cast, she’s seen her share of design tweaks, but her core identity as a veiled assassin has stayed the same. For now, she keeps things strictly professional. All you really know is that she treats this mission like any other merc job, hints at a military past, isn’t familiar with Hoppe’s customs or currency, and never removes her veil. It feels like she’ll need time before she opens up. It’ll be exciting to hear what everyone thinks once you get to discover the different sides of her in the game later on! :3 Links:DiscordPatreonSubscribe StarWebsiteYou…

Welcome to the sneak peek series! I'll be dishing out bite-sized nuggets of work-in-progress goodness for the game! A game where you farm, engage in mercantilism, and go out adventuring is naturally going to have a lot of items. While not the most exciting update, a lot of work has been going into Mana Quest's inventory to make organizing and using your items a breeze! Who can use what and what's currently being used are important things to know, so the inventory comes with a handy visual guide built in. A chibi on an item's tooltip means it can be used by only that party member: Items that can be used by multiple will show the icon of each eligible girl: And in your inventory, these icons will let you know who's got what equipped: Have you ever seen quality-of-life this adorable? :3 Links: Discord Patreon Subscribe Star Website You can join the closed beta now!
