Spooky Update: October 6th, 2025

I’m currently working my way through the new abilities you’ll be able to get in Chapter 2. The new forms are Kitsune, which has some Crusading damage skills plus a passive that boosts crit damage, Raccoon which can manipulate and shift threat, and Raptor which has a lot of FIRE. Fire is good.

I should be done the new skills this week, and then it’s on to enemy skills and placement for balance work. Whoo.

Hund has finished the exterior maps and is working on the interior maps now. Koops is actually working on some WoR stuff and we might have a cross-promotion coming up too.

It’s out on Itch.io, the WeChange version will be out a bit later. This one is free, as I don’t feel right charging for it given its subject matter. It’s a lot less of a TF story and more a complex exploration of psyches, along with action and jokes. Art is by the wonderful Judith, thanks to Mario for editing it so the prose is less not-good.

The next one is more of a TF story and much more light-hearted so look forward to that.

Over on Welcome Change we’re doing a big October sale! All our books are 25% off AND a ton of the other creators are also offering deals! Plus there’s free comics you can find with the ol’ searchbar so give them a look.

And if that wasn’t enough, the books are also on sale on Itch.io for 25% off, or you can get them all in a big bundle.

The games will go on sale in the second half of October to align with Steam Scream Fest. Between 20 and 50% off depending on the game. Get psyched!

Will be next week. There’s some stuff cooking which you’ll like but it’s not quite done yet, so we’ll show it off next Monday. Look forward to it!

I asked Coco to take a crack at doing some splash art for the Knights of Justice. Not only did she do that.

She also did some takes in casual clothes (and Dorothy in a schoolgirl outfit because sure why not).

And then she decided to TG the boys. Andi making a pretty big impact I gotta say. Big thanks to Coco for all her hard work!

What is wrong with me? You could write a book on it.

Page 1. We’re doing serialized comics now apparently. If people write fanfictions maybe I’ll release them as serialized pieces because this is basically a weekly newspaper now. Sure okay.
