In the absence of the original master file and with permission from Alsnapz, I have recreated "MalfBackground" in a higher resolution. This is the background used for Malfaren, Cobalt, and the upcoming Yesenia.
I took the opportunity to do some experimenting, and used Blender to recreate and render the scene. I put a lot of effort into trying to make it fit the style of the game and look a...

Juniper's standing grab has no success animation, so it has been turned into a damaging attack to look less broken
Juniper's stomp now does damage

Helixftr Deluxe's character select screen has been redesigned. The new design gives a much larger preview of the characters, as well as a scrolling preview of the character's background.
I'm curious to hear if anyone has any performance issues with this screen. I ended up drawing the background with the GPU because I thought it might be slightly easier (it really wasn't), and set it to a (hopefully) smooth 60 FPS. Displaying the backgrounds also requires much more data downloading, so i...

Helixftr Deluxe has been updated to address an issue with Isolda. It was previously impossible to trigger her laying state, but it should now work as intended. To do this, you must be facing away from her while she grabs you.
Also, I updated Isolda's full body picture while I was at it.

Devalo the nevela has been added to Helixftr Deluxe. Took a little longer than expected because I had to re-implement several features for the new enemy format, but progress should continue to become faster.

I paused billing last month because I expected an extreme amount of work from my "real" job. However, that work ended up getting pushed back to this month, and then I didn't think to pause billing again. So, in penance, I will pause billing again for June, even though I intend to push releases then. I will also outline the current state and plans for Hungry Critters in this post, as I was able to do a lot of needed work on it in the time I ended up having free.

Helix rendering between enemies' body parts now works like in the original game, which was necessary for this character. I'm fairly proud of the elegant solution I came up with to do it, which doesn't add any extra overhead.

I've been rushing to get this character out within the month, so here it is. It still has a few details that need to be smoothed over, so its "official" release will be slightly later, when I've had time to hunt down the tricky bits. It should generally work correctly for now.
This character is coming later than expected because I've also been working on another part of the game that I hope to be able to share pretty soon.
