Hey again guys!
Sorry for releasing so close to the end of the month D: had to wrangle a few nasty bugs. We have one issue left that I wouldn't normally release with, but I want to get this out to you before the month rolls over. EDIT: We've updated the download links with a patched version to eliminate the issue where controls would lock up after some H scenes.
Hey everyone!
We have a pretty hefty progress update this month, with a lot of work to show and details on the release coming at the end of the month.
This release should contain a lot of improvements over the mid-month release, with additional skills/AI for FemCop, overhauled Wraxe animations so that his hitboxes are no longer all over the place, cue FX for (most) H attacks, and a multi-team version of the Chain Splicer's H scene. Read on for details!
Hey guys!
Here's the new Pure Onyx release~

This test release has two major features!
The first is that the initial version of FemCop has been added for combat testing :D (Tip: don't forget to block)! She's not entirely finished, as we still have to add a backstep ability, as well as a count...

Hey guys!
I've amassed a bunch of new print designs over the past few months that I wanted to bring to your attention, including a brand new one I just finished ^-^. Unfortunately I can only send these to the continental US currently. If you're interested, check out our $40 reward tier :3, and message me with the print you'd like.
Here's the full list of new additions:

As mentioned in the monthly progress update, this one isn't a huge leap from the Inner Circle release earlier this month, but it does include some important fixes, as well as optimizations that should hopefully improve performance for users with video cards w...

Hey again everyone!
As usual, the next Pure Onyx release will occur before the end of the month! This one won't have too much beyond what was in last week's Inner Circle release, as I've been pretty heavily involved with all of the new characters coming down the pipeline this week @_@, but I've made a tentative changelog you can check out below! It will likely grow some more before the release.
We have progress on three new characters to show off this month, as w...

Hey everyone!
We're inching our way closer to our next major goal for Pure Onyx -- getting the actual gameplay loop in place so it's well >_> a game, and not just a simple wave-based mini-game thing. Before we get into that though, know that there will be an updated $5 tier release before the end of the month, featuring an improved version of the new Chain Splicer scene, and much more detailed sounds for the Runt + Thug scene.
We have a couple good pie...

Hey everyone!
The new release for all tiers will be available before the end of the month! We're fixing and adding quite a bit beyond the Inner Circle release earlier this month, so we need a few more days to polish it up and test.
As usual I want to talk (mostly) about work being done that isn't in the releases this month. We're currently working on four new enemies at once, as well as a Splicer Runt solo H scene, Chain Splicer solo and multi-team H scenes, and...
2021-04-25 01:41:01 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys!
We have a new test release ready for you to try out! AltairPL has finished his back-end overhaul of the H system code, and as such this release features quite a few substantial fixes to the H system, animation system, and gallery. We've also added the other Street Lord Wraxe scene for FemCop to the gallery, as well as bodysuit variants. We've added Brum's character reflection FX system as well (helps the characters blend with the scene a lot better)! 2021-04-18 02:35:51 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey again!
I've made the March 12 Inner Circle test release of Pure Onyx available to all tiers!
You can find it + details here!
I hate releasing things on the last day or two of the month, so I decided this was a better option than to try to cram more in @_@.
Be sure to check the known issues, as there are a few bugs that have since been discovered and f...

Hey everyone!
We have a lot of new work to show off!
Last week's $10 tier release features the new H scene gallery, as well as the first H scene for the FemCop character. We're currently working on a release for all tiers that will contain a second H scene for her, some additional bug fixes, and whatever else we can squeeze in.
As usual we've been doing a lot of work outside the releases, and this month we have concepts for three new enemies, modeling/rigging p...

We're a few days late with this, but we have three solid achievements to present with this release. A shout-out to AltairPL, who banged out a lot of code in the two and a half weeks since our last release @_@.
Number one is that we've added the first phase of the H Scene Gallery. Scenes are ...

Hey everyone!
We have quite a bit to talk about this month, and as usual I'll be discussing progress not shown in the latest test releases! Don't be afraid of all the text -- it's fun stuff :D.
Overall I'm really pleased with our progress, though we had some hurdles to overcome along with it being a short month. Both Mr. Kittyhawk and Penapsquat were hit by the blizzard in the southern US and were out of commission for a while. This changed our schedule a bit, bu...
2021-02-27 15:24:43 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
This release adds the content from this month's Inner Circle release, as well as some fixes and a juicy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) outro to the new Splicer Runt + Thug double team scene.
I think you'll be pleased with what's coming next month, so keep an eye out for the progress update in the next few days!

Hey guys!
We've made an emergency fix and uploaded a new version of the release from yesterday. You can download it from the updated link on yesterday's post!
Players who hadn't run the game before (or at least since we added the Options screen) had a nasty issue where none of the controls worked due to the Settings.ini file not being properly generated. Th...
Hey guys!
We have a new Pure Onyx release for you! This one adds the first double team H scene. It's triggered in the same way the Thug solo scene is triggered, but if a Runt is nearby he can join in. The second part of it is more polished animation-wise, so expect the same quality throughout by the release at the end of the month. We're also working on an extra sloppy outro scene ^-^.
Hey everyone!
A lot of our energy this past month went into the two Pure Onyx releases, but we've done quite a bit of other work as well that wasn't visible in these. As usual, I'd like to focus on that for our update, and what to expect in the next upcoming release!
Here's the list of content for this update:
Hey everyone!
This latest Pure Onyx release is a much more polished version of the Inner Circle test release from earlier this month.
I'm very pleased with both the amount that we've accomplished since last month, as well as how quickly our new team members are coming along. Expect a progress update in a few days -- we have more work to show off, and I'll give some details on what to expect in next month's release!
First post of the new year guys!
I feel very optimistic that we will accomplish some great work this year. Our team, support, resources, and pipeline are all on point, and I want to thank all of our Inner Circle patrons that have been a pillar for keeping our projects going!
We're starting the year out with what I think is one of our strongest PO releases in a while, and we intend to add further refinement and improvements to the new H animations for the $5 tier release in a...

Hey everyone!
Sorry for all the GIFs! There's quite a bit to show off this month. We're working hard to get the next Inner Circle release out during the first week of January. Here are some of the highlights of the next release!
Hey guys!
I've made the December 4 Inner Circle test release of Pure Onyx available to all tiers.

We've updated the release with the following changes:
Hey guys!
Here's the next Inner Circle test release for Pure Onyx!
The highlight is the new Splicer Boss (Street Lord Wraxe) combat test, which occurs at waves 20, 40, and so on. He's a complex enemy in a few ways, and has quite a few issues still, so please check out the Known Issues section before playing.
There are many other changes as well, including a lot of input improvements, bug fixes, and audio enhancements!
Hey everyone!
We've got some new progress to show off for the upcoming Pure Onyx release, which should be ready within the next week (probably by the end of the month) for the Inner Circle tier. Here's a brief summary of the more significant changes you can expect:
Hey guys!
I've made the November 1 Inner Circle test release of Pure Onyx available to all tiers.

We're currently hard at work on finishing up the Splicer Boss' combat animations, adding him to the game, and animating his H scene. Expect an update on that soon!
Hey guys!
We have a new test release for you to try out!
The environment pipeline is finally becoming operational, and to showcase that we've included the first Sewers map in this release. This is the first full quality map we've released, and it comes with a lot of graphical bells and whistles, so let us know if performance suffers at all for you! You can select it from the new (temporary) stage select menu.
In addition to that, we've also added shops to ...

Hey guys!
Beyond the release last week, we've gotten quite a bit done with new enemy development that I want to show off :D.
I'm expecting us to have a new Inner Circle release ready around the end of October or early November showcasing a new map, environment FX, and a working shop.
