Prototype 5-4b Released to Patrons
This is a nice and big bugfix release, with more on the way. Changelog is on the bottom.
Please see the Patreon if you’re a new patron and want to know how to access the prototypes.
Koops has joined the battle!
That’s right, famed artist Koops has officially joined the team as a paid member. Now she collects a wage just like everyone except Salty (and Mario but don’t tell him that). Way to go Koops!
Koops will be creating CGs for the game in addition to design and shading work. For example, we’re going to get ending CGs for Doll Manor, opening CGs for chapters 1 and 5, and probably other CGs! Yay!
Tentative Target for Prototype 5-5
Due to the artists (Chicken and Koops) being on vacation in the middle of August, we have set our very tentative target for Prototype 5-5 as October. The code will likely be done before that, but losing several weeks of artist time means October is the safest call.
The remainder of July will be spent on bugfixes and feature improvements.
Pandemonium Classic: Unity Edition gets Dolls and Bees
That’s right, with some photoshop wizardry, TL has added Dolls and Bees to the Unity edition. You can get a copy here, though it has some bugs left before a full release.
TL has been doing a great job photoshlorping forms into the Unity edition, which means I’m probably going to have to add these to Classic Mode. What a jerk!
