Project Ophiucus Update
I’m working my way across the various puzzles. It occurs to me that every room in the game has some kind of secret at this point, and that’s on top of combat.
Meanwhile you can see what it looks like when it’s not just programmer art. Thanks to Sigrid for doing the vault work.
Water’s Not Fine
The latest Tales of Strings is out! You can get it on Wechange or Itch.io! This one’s a lot shorter than the usual ToS fare, but it has four high-quality images by artist Xandrasubmarine and only costs 3$. 100% of the proceeds go to Xandra, I get nothing from this. Nothing.
Hopefully another release coming next week, so get psyched.
Alice Goes Insane (And Fan Art)
Artist Alice went absolutely bonkers last week so I decided to highlight her work here. Okay she really likes Izuna but she also likes the Countess and Nina from the modkit so checkmate.
This one is by returning artist and game dev Krin3784. You can find them on Twitter. Or DLSite if you don’t like Twitter. Their latest game, Puer Liberation, just released 2.0 and might get an English translation soon, so look forward to that.
