Hey hey!
Small previews today! I know that previews of something as technical as settings menus aren't as exciting as new character sprites or CGs and such, but as part of Update 9, Blain and I worked hard on finally making these menus work in tandem with the game's theme as a whole.
Although in menus functionalit...

Time for another devlog of the progress of Update 9! I'm happy to report that the writing for Update 9 is pretty much done and closed. There's some reviewing left to do, but it closed at around 15k words which is... a substantial update size! I think our largest one has come around 20k and the average is around...

Hey hey!
It's been a while, but while I'm steadily working on Update 9 and with its beautiful CG already finished, we've been working on other things on the side as well!
This is another piece on our initiative of 'simpler sprites' for characters that aren't as major as some others. I'm sure you all remember Jen t...

It's been a while. A lot of stuff has happened in these past two weeks, but even though I had some rocky moments, work goes on! I've been on the writing phase of Update 9 and slow and steady, I've been making it happen! Today I'm sitting here to write one of those more... midway through the development kind of ...

It was a very rough weekend for me. As most of you know, my discord account was hacked on Friday and that compromised everything. The hacker attacked the discord server and banned a few people that were active at the time, but thankfully, Discord restored my account relatively quickly. I didn't interact with the...

Sad news today. My discord account apparently got hacked and with it, access to the Demons Within Discord server.
I'm sending this message real quick to warn everyone not to accept contact from my Discord account or anything from the Demons Within server.
I'll look into what I can do for the server a...

Hey hey!
As promised, here you go. The full-fledged, complete CG for Update 9 for your previewing pleasure. ;)
I say full, but I think that's still an understatement. There's value in this as, while I do very much intend to make an in-game gallery to review CGs at some point, we're not quite there yet, so in-game...
2024-07-10 19:37:16 +0000 UTC View PostHey folk!
Time for the first devlog regarding Update 9! As always, it's been a little while since Update 8 and most people from Patreon have probably gotten a chance to play it already. It'll be going public in a few weeks and, as such, we're already set and working on Update 9!
In this devlog, as usual, I'll ramb...

Quick and dirty this time. I mean, what is it there to say? I think that everyone can see it, yeah?
The progress of the new CG is going smoothly! I'll post a devlog this week talking more in-depth about Update 9, what will be in it and the progress as a whole for all of Patreon, but for you ...

With Update 8 done and released, it's time to start moving on to Update 9! And we'll start off with the promised treat of the scene that didn't make it into Update 8...

On Update 7.5 (and I think 7 as well), I didn't share screenshots because well, in 7.5 the CGs were everything and in Update 7 every single screenshot would be a major spoiler!
This time, however, we're back to normal and you guys can enjoy some slick previews of what's to come very soon in Update 8!

Good news for the Sam lovers out there! Given the situations in Update 8, we finally get to see Sam from up close in some... new situations!
Nothing groundbreaking, but he didn't have any of these variations as opposed to the rest of the team and now, at least in this regard, he has caught up. Are there...

I'm pleased to be able to say that the development of Update 8 is going smoothly. Writing is finalized, all assets for Update 8 are gathered, inserted into the game, up, running and working. :D I'm working on the update's visuals now putting it all together and ther...

Alright, well, you guys have already seen previews of these two several times as they reached different levels of completion, yeah? As we draw closer and closer to Update 8's release, I'm pleased to be able to present... The pretty much finished version of both of them!
For now, Commander Brigham actually...

Hey hey!
As many of you might remember, one of the extra things coming in Update 8 is the new incentive we're trying out of making simple, more straightforward sprites for some minor characters in the game in order to make the experience better while, at the same time, sparing the effort and budget of a fully-fledged sp...

It's time for another preview from what's coming in Update 8! We'd seen the Russel before when he was still in his sketch phase and now, even though this is still not his finalized and complete version, I thought it was definitely cool enough to share! I thought I'd also share some minor thoughts about him.

It's been a while since I released expression sheets, hasn't it? I think that with the addition of the Memorium to the game, they're not as needed anymore. You can literally see all of these expressions on the sprites in the Memorium if you've unlocked the right scenes! Still, I thought it was cool, so here the...
