Demons Within Original Backgrounds: Watch House Holding Cell

Hey hey!

I'm happy to be able to bring you all another brand new, original background!

This time we get to see something entirely new! The holding cell jail within the watch house of Unit 57-H. I'm very happy to be able to bring new backgrounds in an entirely original format instead of in placeholders, and this is the first of many!

Though this background won't be used in the main update straight away, it is the only new background (for now) that we will see in the upcoming ...

Demons Within Update 13 devlog: So many things at once!

Hey hey!

It's been a while, so you guys know what time it is: devlog ramble time!

I wanna start by saying that I should have probably made this earlier. I've been juggling a bunch of things and at this point, it has already been a full month since Update 12 came out! Time flies! In the spirit of keeping a... at least close to 2-month schedule, I'm shifting my focus heavily into Update 13 now.

Usually, this happens a bit earlier than this. However, I feel like my attention ha...

Demons Within sprite previews: Sam's weapon

Hey hey!

Quick but nice preview for you all this time! Just like Ludwig and Edwin have gotten preferred weapon sprites, it was already past time for Sam to get one! We've seen mentions of him using it in the story before and, though we were kinda busy to get that done earlier, this new sprite will be retroactively added to those scenes. Well, that and, of course, any future scenes where Sam might be holding his choice of weapon. ;)

This is it for today! See you guys soon with more...

Demons Within? previews: Alon

Hey hey!

I assume that most of you have seen that we have finally announced the upcoming Shelter and Demons Within collaboration side project! I've been working hard on it between updates and, as I mentioned there, it's a pleasure to finally announce it!

Some assets for it were being made to prepare for the announcement and I wanted to wait until things wer...

Crossover with Shelter coming soon!

After quite a bit of time and secretive work, I'm excited to finally announce a crossover story between Demons Within and Shelter!

In this special, non-canonical side project, we'll follow a special story involving a pair of beloved wolves as they get thrown into different worlds where things work quite differently from what they're used to. Connected by an entity, they'll work... "together" to set things right, but also not really.

This special project will be r...

Demons Within Original Backgrounds: Tavern Room

Some of you might have seen the recent announcement where we welcome TeoLeif as the brand new background artist in Demons Within! It's a very welcome addition to the team!

The plan is to slowly replace old backgrounds with nice, newly crafted pieces while at the same time creating new backgrounds from scratch instead of placeholders. There is so much that we can do with custom backgrounds! It...

Poll Result: Swimsuit Sam

Hey hey!

It's time again! We had our poll, we voted, and... Sam's win echoed through both the higher and regular tier patron polls! He won on both! There were some close seconds, but Sam's popularity is on the rise. He'd probably scoff at that himself. ;)

But at any rate, you asked for it, you get it! Sam, in what would be a swimsuit!

I'll reiterate that this is in no way canon to the story and just for fun! I have some plans to add this to the game as special unlockables at...

Special project previews: Shard icons

Hey hey!

Here we are with another super cool asset preview for our incoming special project. This isn't a big one, perhaps not as interesting as the character representations we've seen before, but it's just as important!

'Shards' (name of the object still pending) are what you're going to be assigning each character, which in turn will produce effects such as filling up Resnick's thoughts of lust about them in order to unlock new things. Some shards that are not Lust related migh...

Demons Within Update 12 Patreon release date!

Hey hey!

You all know the deal! The beta version has been up for a few days and now, we're nearing the time for the full release! I've got some bugs and small adjustments to still fix and I'm working on sound, but I feel like I can announce that the full Patreon release of Update 12 will be, as usual...

This Friday, May 30th!

It'll be a full release of the new build and content to all Patreon supporters, so hang in there! As usual as well, refer to the event...

You all know the deal! I feel confident enough with the progress of the build to announce that the BETA build for higher level patrons of Update 12 is coming...

This Friday, May 23rd!

As usual, check the event in the Discord server for a reminder and the release time!

Also, the usual reminder that this is the BETA, not fully complete version for higher tier patrons only. The story and content is all there, but it will definitely be lacking so...

Demons Within Update 12 Devlog 3: The final touches...!

Hey hey!

It's time for another devlog ramble! My goal today is mostly to keep you all updated about the progress of the long-running Update 12. Once again, I apologize for the delay in getting it out. It's a bit out of the schedule already, and I've been very aware of that! I'll elaborate a little on how things are going, what's going, and what we can expect. The short gist of it, however, is that it's almost done! Every day in the past two weeks, I've been alternating between coding an...

Special Project previews: Edwin, Boris and Gunther icons

Hey hey!

More icons! This time with three more boys!

Of the 8 characters planned for the beginning, only two are left now! I'm not 100% sure we'll be able to interact with all of these right at the start when the side game launches as, well, I need content for and with each character for us to unlock through the game! Chances are the initial, main characters are going to be the first, but fear not, that all of these characters will have their time to shine!

Even the bullies...

Patreon price changes for new members (please read!)

Hey hey!

I have a few ramblings written down about the hows and whys, but I realized that things got a bit long (as always), so I'll try to start by going straight to the point:

Life keeps going and things like, well, inflation, are an unfortunately inevitable part of it... With the growth of Demons Within and the game growing bigger and better, we'll be doing a few price changes on Patreon.

FEAR NOT! I'd like to clarify a few things right from the get-go:<...

Demons Within SWIMSUIT poll 2!

Heeeey hey!

Guess what? It's POLL time again!

I'm sure most of you remember our previous out of season swimsuit poll and the results that came out of it. Not only is it fun to do, but we'll use these as special unlocks in the game later, so I think... it's time for another poll!

As I mentioned last time, the winner of the last one for this type of poll will be excluded so that should give all ot...

Special Project previews: Ludwig, Sam and Garret icons

Hey hey!

As I mentioned in my latest devlog, the upcoming Update 12 is full of spoilery little assets! Nothing TOO big, but I'd show the new small variations if I could. In the interest of not revealing major spoilers about the events of it, however, I'm not doing it...

Still! I can at least share with the preview tier some of the other stuff we're working on. I'm assuming that most of you have at least glanced over 2025-04-30 16:42:58 +0000 UTC View Post

Demons Within Update 12 Devlog 2: Progress and content!

Hey hey!

The weeks rush by and here I am with another update to you all! I know that we're reaching the 2 month mark since the last release and, because of that, I'm trying to get some extra work done to finish things in a timely manner, but there's still a bunch to go.

The writing of the new content for this update is pretty much done. It's going through the review phase and, though I initially planned to go a little bit further in the story, I found a good moment to pause it in ...

Demons Within Special devlog 1: The super extra special side project

Hey hey!

I've got a very special devlog for you guys today! This isn't related to Update 12 content, but rather my new project that has been on my mind for a while. This is what I will be working on between updates when I have some time. I already did some initial work and tests for it before Update 12 and I'm confident enough in it to talk about it! (More Update 12 devlogs coming soon as I'm currently working on that!)

At least to you guys, my faithful Patreon supporters, because...

Demons Within Update 12 Devlog 1: The usual what to expect

Hey hey!

It's that time again! And past overdue! Usually after finishing an update, I take some time to breathe easier again. Well, for most of last year, I usually took the time to catch up on all the non-DW related stuff that I was usually putting off until I finished the update rush. Now that I have reached a finished state on a lot of my other ongoing stuff, I could use this breather time to, well... work on some OTHER DW-related stuff that isn't the main update. I'll make a devlog ...

Poll Result: Swimsuit Captain Garret

Hey hey!

Whoa, this is not actually April's fools! We thought it was a good day to post it, though, since this isn't really something you'll see in the game. Or... will you? In some indirect, in the works, upcoming unexpected way, perhaps?

At any rate, you all voted for it a while ago, and we delivered! The first out-of-season swimsuit sprite: Captain Garret!

We're gonna have another poll li...

Demons Within special tease...

Awoo...

Here's a small, mysterious tease. It's such small and mysterious that I'm sharing it with all of Patreon, not just the previews tier!

What could it be... It's drawn by Blain, but it isn't...?

Some people that happen to know some things will know immediately, others will never guess! Can YOU guess who this is?

Still, what does it mean? Who knows!

This is just a small tease of one of the special extra side content things I have planned to come soon! I hope...

Demons Within Update 11 is OUT for Patreon supporters!

After a longer than usual development cycle, update 11 is now out early for Patreon supporters!

Update 11 brings the final part of the camping day of Unit 57-H and the continuation of the story afterwards. New, big things are coming and at the start of it, Resnick makes some new discoveries he almost wishes he didn't. I mentioned in my devlogs in Patreon during the development of Update 11, but this update ended up being quite lengthy. At first, I had a plan for th...

Hey hey!

Progress is going smoothly! I still have a bunch of sound work left to do, but I did a bunch of fixes and all and Update 11 should be ready for its full release soon!

It's also my pleasure to announce that, due to the quick and efficient work of Heyeah and his team, Update 11 will launch on Patreon already with full Chinese translation support for the new content! Great stuff!

Without further ado, the full patreon release will come out on...
