Axu2 Development Snippet: New Slime, New Look

I realized there was a lot of potential with the slime beast enemy that I wasn't making good on, so to rectify this I have a) added a bunch of slime enemies to other parts of the game, and b) made their slime stuffing attack more common. Also, since the slime beast art is from Axu1, I took the opportunity to give it the touch-up it needed. This isn't major enough to be a monthly art teaser, obv...

Axu2 Development Snippet - Two Fishgirls go Round Me Outside~

Then they blindside, now I'm inside~

Vote on Next Month's Sticker (This month's sticker has been mailed out!)

First of all, just letting you know that the Ashley stickers have been mailed out as of today, so they should arrive in a couple of weeks! Second, take note of the multiple Vespa options in this poll! Like with the multiple Abby options from previous months, the votes each of these two options get will be totalled up and counted as one set of votes, with the more popular of the two being the on...

Axugaem2 Teaser - Enraged Mallory

Since the lore behind this teaser is once again spoiler-filled, Imma come at this from a different angle- that of the fun fact!

For whatever reason, if there's one character in Axu2 whose name is most frequently forgotten, it's Mallory. I'm not sure why this is the case, but some possibly explanations include: Mallory not being a super-common name for a girl but not being highly memorable...

Preliminary Poll: Vote on the Category for Next Month's Sticker Reward!

Axu2 Development Snippet - Matterstorm, Part 2

Yes, I will be implementing a similar interaction with the Husk enemies at some point, though probably not until the Earth Update!

Also, fun fact: enemy 5, 'Rate' is either a typo or an inside joke on the part of the VX Ace devs. I had to look it up to make sure I hadn't accidentally added an E to the name while fumbling through the enemy dataset, and I found this highly amusing Steam thr...

Axu2 Development Snippet - What's the Matterstorm?

As far as Vespa is concerned, nothing is the matterstorm. Nothing at all~

Axu2 Development Snippet - Vexus and Nell

Theme from Peanuts plays

One of the smol additions I've made to the game's Opening is a tiny introduction to Vexus and Nell during the Gusbusters debriefing scene (which I've also tweaked to flow better and be a more interesting introduction to team GB as well.) This includes having their character art appear onscreen for a bit, to make it feel more like a proper debriefing. If/w...

Ashley is Next Month's Sticker Reward!

It's a little early, but I've decided the numbers on the poll are fairly indicative of what the people want! (If Abby ends up getting another vote or two and tying/surpassing Ashley, then next month's poll will just be four Abby options, why not.) The Ashley stickers have been ordered and should be here well before the end of the month.

If you'd like your own bratty Westhaven local to st...

Axu2 Development Snippet - Abby the Bread Bandit

Sorry for the delay in posting this snippet! The weekend got away from me and I ended up getting tied up with rl commitments. 

Because I can't help myself every time I play through Axu2 again, I've gone and made some minor additions to the game's Opening so that some of the characters' traits are more clearly established right out the gate. Abby is one beneficiary of these a...

Vote on Next Month's Sticker! (This month's sticker has been mailed out!)

First of all, just letting you know that the caldryn stickers have been mailed out as of today, so they should arrive in a couple of weeks. Second... please vote for next month's sticker below, cool thanks!~

Axu2 Development Snippet - What Are Ye Doing in Meh Swamp??

Lorewise, Guscorp are the only party in central Imperium attempting to make strides with steam technology at this point in time, mostly because they have to, since the elementals aren't interested in sharing any of their magic with them. This facet of worldbuilding isn't my specialty, but ideally in the future I'll make it clearer how magic affects every day life and the development of new tech...

Axu2 Development Snippet - Mallory Ain't Good Bro

Here's a peek into what programming enemies looks like! These stats aren't set in stone (and in fact I'll probably need to adjust them multiple times in the future) but they should nonetheless give you some idea of what fighting this particular enemy will be like. The enemy art is tbd, but given the information provided, I think for now you can use your imagination~

Axu2 Development Snippet - Mallory, You Good Bro??

Axugaem2, the Musical: Coming Never

(So, because I'm weird, I predominantly refer to Mallory as either Malluruu or just 'ruu' when programming. So that's actually her singing the weird song about the cat, if this post's title didn't make that clear enough :> )

Next Month's Sticker will be Caldryn! (Stickers have been ordered)

Soooo, the poll for this month's sticker ended in a tie between art of Vespa (from the waist up) and art of Caldryn (full body), and since I think it's incredibly impressive that a non-waifu character managed to top one of these polls (and I'm not sure if or when that will ever happen again), I decided to give it to Caldryn! Vespa fans, do not fear... she will plenty more opportunities to be st...

Sticker Club Patrons! The Sticker Vote is Currently Tied!

This is just a reminder that you can still vote on the poll for next month's sticker if you haven't already! The vote is currently split between Vespa and Caldryn. I'll give it a couple more days, and if the vote is still tied at that point then I'll figure out how to choose a winner somehow. In the meantime, if you have any strong feelings one way or anot...
