Development Update: October 7th, 2024

Happy Edgar Allen Poe Dead Day!

Chicken’s second (maybe third) favourite author died 175 years ago today. What a handsome fella. Reads about his life oh dear. Oh my. Oh dear. Tuberculosis? Oh my.

We doing Whispa now I guess

Curiouscat is dead so now it’s time to move on. We will now accept anonymous questions from Whispa, a site that seems to have been built for a different purpose but whatever. The other ones I tried didn’t even work half the time for non-obvious reasons.

You can ask us questions right now!

Updates on Ravenbrook

I’ve been killing myself on this thing! The UI is improved and updated, including me forgetting that the vendor UI hadn’t been updated for the new mouse format. Well now it is!

Fluffs has a bunch of silly quotes and will mock you if you can’t afford something. With that, I believe everything except the title screen is done. Title might not get a big improvement until after the prototype.

I’ve also been cleaning up how the game handles events, tagging, loot, and all that stuff.

Inky, meanwhile, is finishing up the remaining player-as-enemy images. I believe there are 5 to go and the title screen, and the art is all ready.

I am thinking an early November release makes the most sense, depending heavily on how well playtesting goes. I think the backend is way more solid than it was for WHI or RoP due to my many investments in code improvements recently, so let’s hope that all goes smoothly.

Anonymous Whispers

If you think for one second I’m not going to post cat pictures in here just because it’s not curiouscat anymore you have never been more wrong and are about to find this out. I assume you read each sentence individually and do not see images before completing each one.

SURPRISE

What The Hell Happened Here

The lasagna, hu hu hu, the lasagna was eaten by a ghost!

For some reason Kumquat did this “MaryThink” icon fan art for String Tyrant.

BigSaltDeluxe drew this accurate representation of Dmitri.

The burger has a GHOST IN IT

Dragor 42 drew a skitterer head! You know, your favourite chapter 1 enemy!

BigSaltDeluxe also drew one!

Anonymous Izuna sketch, made by NOBODY

And lastly, Scarecrow Jeanne by Xandra!

If you’re wondering why there’s so much fan art, it’s because it’s October and it is therefore time to get as much SPOOK as you can. Also Kumquat ran a little contest on Friday only giving away soundtrack keys. Sorry if you missed out but you could maybe go on the discord and get in his face about it.

If you’re an amateur and want to draw some spooky ghosts from chapter 1 as fan art, now is the ideal time. Do it. DO IT.
