Hey hey!
As we get closer and closer to Update 4's release, I have some more... specific previews for you guys today. ;)
Namely, some special adjustments I had made for some things that can happen during Update 4! As always, Blain did an AMAZING job on them, so you all get to enjoy them as much as I do!
Those that are excited to see more of Ludwig in his day will for sure enjo...

Hello folk!
Well, the poll has run its course! Thank you to all that voted for what species you'd really like one of the new characters that are coming in Update 5 (not Update 4 yet, mind you!) to be.
It was a real tough battle between hyena and boar lovers! The regular poll had almost 220 votes and it looked like this in the end:

Hey hey!
Today we have something a little special!
I've kept this one on the down low for a while because, before Update 2, I didn't want to spoil the major things that would happen in it. Now that we're well into Update 3 and near Update 4, I think it's safe!
You've all seen... Lust transformed Resnick! Well, here's the expression sheet with all of his expressions so far. I'l...

Hey folk!
Quick post today!
I just wanted to remind everyone that the poll to choose the species of one of the new characters in Update 5 is almost ending!
The poll will close in two days (at the end of the month) and we'll have a winner then!
If you haven't cast your vote yet...

Hey all!
Small treat today! I've actually been meaning to put this up for a while, but I've been so busy that I didn't remember it until today!
The expression sheets are just a fun little way to see every character's expressions together in one place! Some of them are quite rare in-game, so we get to see them here. :P
We had already seen Ludwig's, Edwin's and Garret's expressi...

For the Ludwig lovers, we get to see a preview of his done sprite in full armor, full armor with his herb and supply satchels and one with his weapons included as well!
Blain did an amazing job on it, as usual, and Ludwig in full armor is one of the main new looks we'll get to see him wearing in Update 4 that features him heavily.
We'll get to see quite a lot of hi...

Good morning!
Today I have something different to bring as a preview! As most of you who have read my previous devlog know, Update 4 won't bring as many brand new characters in yet, so I don't have that much sprite work to showcase before Update 4. At the same time, though, Update 4 aims to bring in the new Memorium screen, a gallery-like place where we'll be able to review and...

Hey hey!
Yes! Update 3 came out just last week, but since @Blain has been working hard and fast, we already have the first WIP preview of Update 4!
Since this update is about bear, well... it should be no surprise that it's Ludwig.
Our bear was the only member of Unit 57-H that didn't have an armor sprite yet. As you can see, even the Dawn...

Here we are again! Did you all get to play Update 3 yet? Did you enjoy it? I hope you did! I got a lot of good feedback and that makes me beyond happy! :D
Some chill time with the unit and self-reflection was good for Resnick, but now it's time to get a move on and start figuring things out. Or trying to!
As you all might know by now, Update 4 will c...

Another special preview today! As far as artwork goes, this might be the last before the beta release of Update 3 (which is very close!)! This is the last piece of asset I needed for this update.

It's been a while since I've released a simple story, eh? My work with Demons Within has been awesome and fulfilling, but has also kept me extremely busy!

While Update 3 won't be that major story-wise, I have a bunch of fun scenes prepared and for some of those our characters need new... 'clothing'.

Today I've got something special for all of you with access to WIP previews! Usually, I post all the WIPs as I get them, but this was a bit of a special character and I mulled over and over if I should give it a preview before the build.
