Runes of Pandemonium v4.43 Released!

This one is a crash fix, fixing three different crashes. One of these was a longstanding problem in the chapter 5 finale sequence that I couldn’t reproduce until now. Hooray. Thanks for everyone who reported it.

Go get it (Mediafire / Mega.nz)

Otherwise, I have been working my way across Trafal making maps, some of which I’m really proud of. Poterup is done and next is the Jenveld estate, a hive of irritating bandits. Can Sanya beat their asses? Yes. Harpies might give you a quest to take out the bandit leader or something fun like that.

Unfortunately, Koops and Chicken haven’t been getting a lot done and this time it’s not even my fault, it’s actually The State’s fault! I’m not at liberty to go into details, hopefully I can get the next release out using as few placeholders as possible.

By ltv. What is extremely funny about the Mary-Thinking thing is I needed an icon for it and asked Urimas to whip one up and neither of us thought much of it.

IF you loved Yap Yap, you’ll get a kick out of Arf Arf! By latteswiirl!

By Coco. Finally our beleaguered Penny gets some sleep.

By Raum. It is endlessly funny seeing the Rilmani trying out these “expressions” Mei taught them. Here we see Maram trying to express artistic appreciation.

Both by Nat! C’mon Izuna public displays of affection are so nerdy.

By NextStopPlease. Christine is the only valid reason I will accept for visiting England, and as a reminder, she left.

By Saya. She looks cute but wait till she pukes on the carpet.

By Skyspear! Werewolf just suits her so well and it’s like the first TF in the game. It’s just so great on Izana.

Some more pieces by Coco, providing the range from cool to berserk.

By Rinne. Honestly switching to white and going for suits – also works. Is this high fashion? Am I a designer now?
