This month's release is a patched and improved version of the Inner Circle release at the end of September. That is to say, we have an improved combat test for the Charger enemy ready for you to try out!
For this test, he will appear on Waves 10, 20, 30, and so forth. The...

Hey guys!
We're hoping to put out a new release in the next week with some improvements to the combat back-end that will allow us to improve the Charger. At the very least, we want to fix his interrupt and stun mechanics so that he can't be cheesed.
Hey guys!

For this test, he will appear on Waves 10, 20, 30, and so forth. He will change some within the next couple of updates, as soon as we can implement stun and interrupt resist mechanics for bosses. Right now it's ve...

Hey guys!
I wanted to post this a few days ago, but we ended up finishing the Charger's FX and SFX, so I made a video to show his animations off.
This is definitely the best opportunity yet to use the character FX framework that we developed for the H system. While I'd love a person to work on FX as t...

I've made the August 31 Inner Circle test release of Pure Onyx available for all tiers.
I'll be posting the monthly progress update as early as tomorrow! Features will include the new Charger enemy in action, new enemy designs, details on the stats system, and more.
Hey guys!
Here's the Inner Circle release! This release showcases our work on the loot/inventory and RPG framework that we've done over the past couple of months. Your input will be greatly appreciated! Also, if you'd like to contribute ideas for items or equipment, please hop on our Discord (you all ...
Hey everyone!
The major theme of this update is equipment, loot, power-ups, and how they mesh with the RPG framework we've been constructing. It's taken a lot of work to prepare this update, so hopefully you'll find it insightful.
We're planning on an Inner Circle release by the end of the month, as well as ...

Hey everyone!
This has been one of those months where I could use a clone @_@.
We have a lot of pieces in motion as we work toward implementing many of the designs we've been building up, and keeping the pipeline full while tackling these different elements has been challenging.
I've personally...

Hey guys!
This Inner Circle update turned out to be bigger than expected, so I apologize for sliding in so close to the end of the month with it. There's a lot to show, so I'll get right into it!
Hey again guys!
I've made the May 29 Inner Circle release of Pure Onyx available to the $3 and $5 tiers.

We have another test release for you! This one is is more of an extension of the one we released at the end of April, but with a few significant changes.
One of the most notable is a major fix for players who use displays with refresh rates above 60hz, or are using driver settings to...

Here's the latest PURE ONYX test release! Please read the notes below!
Our last $3 tier test release suffered from a lot of lot of bugs as a result of making the big switch to 3D and plowing through the H system. As such, the goal of this release was to make necessary adjustments to th...

Hey guys,
We're at a good point to show off the new enemy -- the Splicer Runt, and I wanted to let the Inner Circle crew have a chance to check him out ahead of the April release. Just keep in mind his H attacks aren't in yet~
Hey everyone!
We're pushing for a new release in early April that will have a lot of stability fixes -- improvements to the core systems responsible for existing issues as opposed to a patch attacking the symptoms of the remaining bugs. This release will contain improvements to the Thug H scene as well as things w...

Here's the first patched version of the test release from a few days ago :D.
We accomplished all of the planned fixes that I posted yesterday except for some of the bystander issues. Overall it should be much more stable, but expect a lot more fixes and improvements within the next cou...

The first patched version of the other day's Pure Onyx release should be ready tomorrow night. This one will knock out a lot of the glaring issues, and add back in AltairPL's RPG framework test. We'll have a much more accurate known issues list as well, which should better reflect the remaini...

As promised, here is the first test release of Pure Onyx's new H system, redesigned from the ground up for 3D characters.
It's been down to the wire, and not going to lie, this release needs some more time in the oven -- but it was really important to me to get it out this month. We will ...

Hey everyone!
I've been struggling to catch up this month after some flu-like illness + an eye infection knocked me out for a week. The team made steady progress during that time though, and we've been making a big push to get the next release out tomorrow night, come hell or high water.
While I'm con...

Hey guys!
The next test release for Pure Onyx will be posted Saturday evening at the latest. I've been rushing to make up for lost time from a combination of being sick earlier this month and difficulties updating our animations to the latest rigs, but things are now going smoothly.

This part of the IC update will focus on new animation and character work that TK, TMX, and Limbo have done over the past few weeks!

PHEW.
So, after one last marathon push I was able to get the world map preview ready for you today.
I'm beyond pleased with how it's turned out *so far* -- this isn't the final artwork -- it's simply where I had to leave it in order to get the preview out, as I'll be getting back to the H content now that the H sy...

Apologies for the dry spell. Rest assured we've been working very hard on the next update and beyond. I'll be posting a full-length update in the next few days, but wanted to stop in and give you an overview.

Hey everyone, welcome to 2020 @_@!
Apologies for not doing one of these updates in a while! We've been focused on getting the next release out, but since Mr. Kittyhawk needs some more time to polish up the H system code we've been plowing ahead. As such, there's some new progress worth showing!
