Look At This Beautiful Thing Koops Made

Koops was commissioned to draw this lovely ballerina dancer doll. I love it so much I asked if I could post it so feast your damn eyes on it.

Version 3.13 Released

Pandemonium v3.13 is out. It’s mostly a bugfix and image improvement release, with some new icons and loading image. Changelog is at the bottom of the post.

What The Studio Is Doing Next

Last week, we revealed the steering survey results. Surprisingly, the patrons voted to give us discretion on what to do next, and by god did we exercise it. I called a meeting and everything.

At the meeting, we decided the following: We will implement the UI Patch first, because it’s the smallest and will take the least amount of time. After that is the Mechanical Patch, which won’t require any additional artist assets (except maybe some sprites) so Chicken can catch up on the remaining chapter 5 art.

At that point, if Chicken has finished polishing up the chapter 5 art, we will move on to chapter 2. Otherwise, I will work on the Editorial Patch while she does that. I can’t set any hard dates for any of these, my estimates are always way off because coding is hard.

Other Art Stuff

Koops is going to be making some chapter-intro images so you don’t just have to stare at a black screen while the game tells you what is going on. Chicken has also finished all of the Gravemarker TF images, but those came in too late to make it into v3.13 so they will be released next week.
