Hey hey!
As we get closer and closer to Update 4's release, I have some more... specific previews for you guys today. ;)
Namely, some special adjustments I had made for some things that can happen during Update 4! As always, Blain did an AMAZING job on them, so you all get to enjoy them as much as I do!
Those that are excited to see more of Ludwig in his day will for sure enjoy these! ;)
I'm putting an extra spicier one on the post's equivalent in the discord s...

Hello folk!
Well, the poll has run its course! Thank you to all that voted for what species you'd really like one of the new characters that are coming in Update 5 (not Update 4 yet, mind you!) to be.
It was a real tough battle between hyena and boar lovers! The regular poll had almost 220 votes and it looked like this in the end:
You're all making my life so hard! In the...

Hey hey!
Today we have something a little special!
I've kept this one on the down low for a while because, before Update 2, I didn't want to spoil the major things that would happen in it. Now that we're well into Update 3 and near Update 4, I think it's safe!
You've all seen... Lust transformed Resnick! Well, here's the expression sheet with all of his expressions so far. I'll make some Discord emotes out of them later as well... ;)
Now for the second part ...

Hey folk!
Quick post today!
I just wanted to remind everyone that the poll to choose the species of one of the new characters in Update 5 is almost ending!
The poll will close in two days (at the end of the month) and we'll have a winner then!
If you haven't cast your vote yet, go vote before you lose the chance to!
Oh, and also another reminder that i...

Hey all!
Small treat today! I've actually been meaning to put this up for a while, but I've been so busy that I didn't remember it until today!
The expression sheets are just a fun little way to see every character's expressions together in one place! Some of them are quite rare in-game, so we get to see them here. :P
We had already seen Ludwig's, Edwin's and Garret's expression sheets, but I've updated them with the new expressions they received on Update 3 now (with a NEW!...

Here it is!
For the Ludwig lovers, we get to see a preview of his done sprite in full armor, full armor with his herb and supply satchels and one with his weapons included as well!
Blain did an amazing job on it, as usual, and Ludwig in full armor is one of the main new looks we'll get to see him wearing in Update 4 that features him heavily.
We'll get to see quite a lot of him indeed, in fact...
For now, though, enjoy the previews! I'll have a few more things to show ...

I've got something extra special for you all today! We've got... another poll!
Some of you that have been here longer might remember our first character species poll. Back then, before Update 2, I was still on the fence about what our illustrious mercenary leader was. Blain and I talked, we had a few options and we figured... why not let everyone decide together? As you all know n...

Good morning!
Today I have something different to bring as a preview! As most of you who have read my previous devlog know, Update 4 won't bring as many brand new characters in yet, so I don't have that much sprite work to showcase before Update 4. At the same time, though, Update 4 aims to bring in the new Memorium screen, a gallery-like place where we'll be able to review and even unlock many things about the game!
The lack of new characters has given me the opportuni...

It's been a little bit since Update 3 came out. As you all know, I'm already deep into Update 4 work, but while it all is being made, I'll keep you all updated and release the bonus after-stuff, so to speak, from Update 3.

Yes! Update 3 came out just last week, but since @Blain has been working hard and fast, we already have the first WIP preview of Update 4!
Since this update is about bear, well... it should be no surprise that it's Ludwig.
Our bear was the only member of Unit 57-H that didn't have an armor sprite yet. As you can see, even the Dawnbreak Order gambesons are a bit tight-fitting on him, but it still provides plenty of protection! &n...

Hey folk!
Here we are again! Did you all get to play Update 3 yet? Did you enjoy it? I hope you did! I got a lot of good feedback and that makes me beyond happy! :D
Some chill time with the unit and self-reflection was good for Resnick, but now it's time to get a move on and start figuring things out. Or trying to!
As you all might know by now, Update 4 will cover spending a spare day with Ludwig. Ludwig's side coming first is 2023-02-27 12:37:03 +0000 UTC

Something simple today! Since Update 3 is almost done, I decided it was time to take some screenshots of a few scenes you'll see across the build and display them as an early preview. ;)
As you can see, there are some characters we'll get to see a bunch more of in this chill update...
The release of the beta build is pretty much confirmed to be today or tomorrow at the latest, so expect Update 3 to hit Patreon very, very soon! \o/
Enjoy!

I titled this post 'final' devlog because we're approaching the release of Update 3 very fast!
I'm happy to report that the text is 100% done and about 70% of the Update is already coded in as well! There's some scripting left to do alongside some bits here or there that I want to make special, and then that will be it!
I said this update would be shorter and more chill. Well, while it certainly is more chill after all the action we got on Update 2... It's not ac...

We already talked about him in some of the previous preview posts as he was being built up. Now, our coyote and 5th member of Resnick's unit is complete! With armor and everything.
Disciplined and stout, Sam is... blunt, to say the least. For some, that makes him hard to like, but at the end of the day Resnick and the others appreciate some flat honesty and know he's got...

The writing of all the content of Update 3 is pretty much finished! There's a few gaps to fill in and a little more reviewing to do before I oficially wrap it up, but it's going well! The update is going to sit at around 15k words, although this update has a little branch here ...

While Update 3 won't be that major story-wise, I have a bunch of fun scenes prepared and for some of those our characters need new... 'clothing'.

Update 2 has been out for almost a month now. In fact, it's going to be exactly a month on monday, which is why it's finally going to go public on Itch! All of you have tried it and know that there's big things in there. It's finally time to let the rest of the world see it too!
In the mean time, my efforts have already been concentrated entirely on Update 3.

You saw that coming! For Update 2, this is the last new character that didn't have an expression sheet posted yet.

Maybe people will appreciate him a little more after they get a few more looks at him with the upcoming Update 3...
Regardless, since he didn't appear that much yet, his expression sheet is smaller as well, but it's gonna get big...

We've seen a few mentions of the 5th member of Resnick's unit here or there, but our resident coyote hadn't had a face just yet. Well... he's starting to!
