Demons Within Original Backgrounds: Watch House Holding Cell

Hey hey!

I'm happy to be able to bring you all another brand new, original background!

This time we get to see something entirely new! The holding cell jail within the watch house of Unit 57-H. I'm very happy to be able to bring new backgrounds in an entirely original format instead of in placeholders, and this is the first of many!

Though this background won't be used in the ...

Demons Within Update 13 devlog: So many things at once!

Hey hey!

It's been a while, so you guys know what time it is: devlog ramble time!

I wanna start by saying that I should have probably made this earlier. I've been juggling a bunch of things and at this point, it has already been a full month since Update 12 came out! Time flies! In the spirit of keeping a... at least close to 2-month schedule, I'm shifting my focus heavily into Upda...

Demons Within sprite previews: Sam's weapon

Hey hey!

Quick but nice preview for you all this time! Just like Ludwig and Edwin have gotten preferred weapon sprites, it was already past time for Sam to get one! We've seen mentions of him using it in the story before and, though we were kinda busy to get that done earlier, this new sprite will be retroactively added to those scenes. Well, that and, of course, any future scenes where S...

Demons Within? previews: Alon

Hey hey!

I assume that most of you have seen that we have finally announced the upcoming Shelter and Demons Within collaboration side project! I've been working hard on it between updates and, as I mentioned there, it's a pleasure to finally announce it!

Some...

Crossover with Shelter coming soon!

After quite a bit of time and secretive work, I'm excited to finally announce a crossover story between Demons Within and Shelter!

In this special, non-canonical side project, we'll follow a special story involving a pair of beloved wolves as they get thrown into different worlds where things work quite differently from what they're used to. Connected by an entity, they'...

Demons Within Original Backgrounds: Tavern Room

Some of you might have seen the recent announcement where we welcome TeoLeif as the brand new background artist in Demons Within! It's a very welcome addition to the team!

The plan is to slowly replace old backgrounds with nice, newly crafted pieces while at the same time creating new backgroun...

Poll Result: Swimsuit Sam

Hey hey!

It's time again! We had our poll, we voted, and... Sam's win echoed through both the higher and regular tier patron polls! He won on both! There were some close seconds, but Sam's popularity is on the rise. He'd probably scoff at that himself. ;)

But at any rate, you asked for it, you get it! Sam, in what would be a swimsuit!

I'll reiterate that this is in no way cano...

Special project previews: Shard icons

Hey hey!

Here we are with another super cool asset preview for our incoming special project. This isn't a big one, perhaps not as interesting as the character representations we've seen before, but it's just as important!

'Shards' (name of the object still pending) are what you're going to be assigning each character, which in turn will produce effects such as filling up Resnick's t...

Demons Within Update 12 Patreon release date!

Hey hey!

You all know the deal! The beta version has been up for a few days and now, we're nearing the time for the full release! I've got some bugs and small adjustments to still fix and I'm working on sound, but I feel like I can announce that the full Patreon release of Update 12 will be, as usual...

Demons Within Update 12 Devlog 3: The final touches...!

Hey hey!

It's time for another devlog ramble! My goal today is mostly to keep you all updated about the progress of the long-running Update 12. Once again, I apologize for the delay in getting it out. It's a bit out of the schedule already, and I've been very aware of that! I'll elaborate a little on how things are going, what's going, and what we can expect. The short gist of it, however...

Special Project previews: Edwin, Boris and Gunther icons

Hey hey!

More icons! This time with three more boys!

Of the 8 characters planned for the beginning, only two are left now! I'm not 100% sure we'll be able to interact with all of these right at the start when the side game launches as, well, I need content for and with each character for us to unlock through the game! Chances are the initial, main characters are going to be the firs...

Patreon price changes for new members (please read!)

Hey hey!

I have a few ramblings written down about the hows and whys, but I realized that things got a bit long (as always), so I'll try to start by going straight to the point:

Life keeps going and things like, well, inflation, are an unfortunately inevitable part of it... With the growth of Demons Within and the game growing bigger and better, we'll be doing a few price changes on...

Demons Within SWIMSUIT poll 2!

Heeeey hey!

Guess what? It's POLL time again!

I'm sure most of you remember our previous out of season swimsuit poll and the results that came out of it. Not only is it fun to do, but we'll use these as special unlocks in the game later, so I think... it's time for another poll!

As I mentioned las...

Special Project previews: Ludwig, Sam and Garret icons

Hey hey!

As I mentioned in my latest devlog, the upcoming Update 12 is full of spoilery little assets! Nothing TOO big, but I'd show the new small variations if I could. In the interest of not revealing major spoilers about the events of it, however, I'm not doing it...

Still! I can at least share with the preview tier some of the other stuff we're working on. I'm assuming that most...

Demons Within Update 12 Devlog 2: Progress and content!

Hey hey!

The weeks rush by and here I am with another update to you all! I know that we're reaching the 2 month mark since the last release and, because of that, I'm trying to get some extra work done to finish things in a timely manner, but there's still a bunch to go.

The writing of the new content for this update is pretty much done. It's going through the review phase and, thoug...

Demons Within Special devlog 1: The super extra special side project

Hey hey!

I've got a very special devlog for you guys today! This isn't related to Update 12 content, but rather my new project that has been on my mind for a while. This is what I will be working on between updates when I have some time. I already did some initial work and tests for it before Update 12 and I'm confident enough in it to talk about it! (More Update 12 devlogs coming soon as...

Demons Within Update 12 Devlog 1: The usual what to expect

Hey hey!

It's that time again! And past overdue! Usually after finishing an update, I take some time to breathe easier again. Well, for most of last year, I usually took the time to catch up on all the non-DW related stuff that I was usually putting off until I finished the update rush. Now that I have reached a finished state on a lot of my other ongoing stuff, I could use this breather ...

Poll Result: Swimsuit Captain Garret

Hey hey!

Whoa, this is not actually April's fools! We thought it was a good day to post it, though, since this isn't really something you'll see in the game. Or... will you? In some indirect, in the works, upcoming unexpected way, perhaps?

At any rate, you all voted for it a while ago, and we delive...

Demons Within special tease...

Awoo...

Here's a small, mysterious tease. It's such small and mysterious that I'm sharing it with all of Patreon, not just the previews tier!

What could it be... It's drawn by Blain, but it isn't...?

Some people that happen to know some things will know immediately, others will never guess! Can YOU guess who this is?

Still, what does it mean? Who knows!

This is ju...

After a longer than usual development cycle, update 11 is now out early for Patreon supporters!

Update 11 brings the final part of the camping day of Unit 57-H and the continuation of the story afterwards. New, big things are coming and at the start of it, Resnick makes some new discoveries he almost wishes he didn't. I mentioned in my devlogs in Patreon during the d...

Demons Within Patreon release date!

Hey hey!

Progress is going smoothly! I still have a bunch of sound work left to do, but I did a bunch of fixes and all and Update 11 should be ready for its full release soon!

It's also my pleasure to announce that, due to the quick and efficient work of Heyeah and his team, Update 11 will launch on Patreon already with full Chinese translation support for the new content! Great stu...

Demons Within Update 11 Screenshot previews!

Hey hey!

As you all might know, the beta for Update 11 is up and running and now I'm working on finalizing the final tidbits before release! Some fixes and additions, mainly!

I'll probably have a release date for it later today or early tomorrow! It's coming soon!

In the meantime, have some screenshot previews of what's coming! ;) I made them as spoiler-free as possible, which...

Demons Within Update 11 devlog 4: The final tidbits

Hey hey!

Here we are again! Another devlog as promised!

I guess I should address what you see at the top first! That is middle of the update things. Is it a wonder that Resnick gets excited when he thinks about the Dawn Tournament? We'll be seeing this poster in the update, hence why we drew it up! Our first glimpse at Grandmarshall Alistair, who has been mentioned before as the lea...

Demons Within previews: Casual shirt Boris

Hey hey!

Another preview of the upcoming update (going well, devlog soon!)! As I mentioned before in a previous devlog, the people who like Boris will probably enjoy this update a bit! The people that don't, well... I'm sorry about that! Either way, in the context we'll see him this time, he's not wearing his uniform, so a casual shirt alternative was made!

Blain did an amazing job ...
