Prototype 5-4c has been released to patrons
As usual, you can get it on the Chapter 5 Downloads Page. A patron-post will give some details on the new stuff.
July 2019 Budget Report
Sorry this one took so long. I just kept forgetting and/or getting called into work and saying “I’ll do it next week”. And now it’s July.
Fan Art! FAN ART!!! FAN!!! ART!!!!!
It’s Christine as a Harpy! Drawn by Goop Sinpai, who sure is prolific. Go check out her DA.
And if any of you want to make fan art you better believe I will post it, I love me some fan art.
Coding
Nose to the grindstone. I’ve got (most) of the major bugs dealt with and will be adding treasure and abilities to the Biolabs next. That means 5-4d will be a content update!
Artistic Chicanery
Chickenwhite has finished all of the emotes except for Electrosprite Christine, which we hope to have finished soon. Stinkehund is inking them as always.
Recent Artist Addition Koops is working on her first CG image to go in chapter 5. Urimas is making sprites and tiles because that’s what he always does, we can’t stop him. Nobody can stop him.
Musical Chicanery
DrDiss gave us a new boss theme, and patrons get to hear it next week! Hooray!
There’s now just one musical theme left to be replaced before we’re 100% ready for prime time. Go get ’em, doc.

It’s boring but read it.
- Fixed spotting-circles not appearing in areas using the lighting shader.
- If an enemy leader dies, the following entities will now correctly show their viewcones.
- Enemies will now always report their stun thresholds instead of waiting to accrue some stun damage.
- Enemies will show how long until their stun threshold resets, next to the resist value.
- Added a case for the Electrosprite subquest where the player magically knows commands they really shouldn’t.
- Fixed collisions around the Biological Services building.
- Fixed lighting issues in the Biolab Datacore exterior.
