Demons Within Sprite preview: Helen the escort

Added 2024-08-02 19:07:24 +0000 UTC

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 the librarian, who made her debut on Update 8 retroactively in Ludwig's day! Well, here we have Helen, who many of you might not remember as much as Jen because, well, she wasn't there for that long, but she was nonetheless!

Featuring in Edwin's day at the tavern, Helen was the fox who was lucky enough to get to sit on Edwin's lap during Edwin and Resnick's talk in Edwin's day at the tavern!

Though she doesn't play an extended role in the game for now (alongside the next minor character we'll be seeing soon...), having her around will still make the game more fun, I'm sure, so she's a welcome addition!

And now you get to see the first draft previews of her! I will, of course, share again when we have her in a more complete state, as usual, but I just thought I'd give a little preview of another small thing to come!

I'm not yet entirely sure if she'll be added in Update 9. I'm not exactly at the very end of development of Update 9 yet, but I also won't hold the update back to include her if it comes to it! I think it's safe to say that, at the latest, she'll be seen in the game in Update 10 and beyond!

That's it for today! Stay tuned for more previews soon!
