- Chapter-Based Marvels: New Marvels and maps each chapter to keep content fresh.
- Mini-Game Rework: Moving from skill-based to puzzle-based (e.g., path-finding/memory game) to improve accessibility.

- Focus: Sunflower Land remains a priority; new designer will also work on existing mechanics.
- Professionalism: Enhancing company branding (Thought Farm) as the team scales.
