October/v0.5 AMAs!

Hey all! Thanks to everyone for their October/v0.5 Ask-Me-Anything submissions for our development team. Please find the AMA below!

1. A question I've seen around quite a lot, is what car did Theo have? The red one, some suspect an Audi others think it's a Mitsubishi. Is it even anything specific, was it based off anything at all or is it just a general car design? 

Cobalt: Artist confession, I actually used a picture of myself with my own car as refer...

v0.5 Rough Timeline

Hi everyone!

We hope that you've all been enjoying the double-feature v0.4 update on Hunter's & Theo's routes. We've seen such a huge wave of support with the release of v0.4, and in the past two weeks, that support carried us to the front page of the entire itch.io website, which was so, so exciting for us. 

We'd like to announce that Artemis' Day 3 will be the focus of v0.5, as decided by our $10+ Patreon supp...

v0.5 Route Poll (Day 3)

Hi everyone!

We're currently planning for the v0.5 update of PTK -- and though we really enjoyed working on our special v0.4 double-feature, we're going to take it a bit slower with this next update, working on just one character route! The only cast members that haven't gotten their day 3 yet are Artemis and Ollie, so the outcome of this poll will decide who gets the focus of the v0.5 update!

This poll will stay open until August 29th. Thank you as always for your support of PTK!...

Firstly, we're excited to introduce a concept that the development team has been cooking up for our Patreon supporters: Legacy!

To this end, we will be impl...

Hunter's Huddle Update!

Hey everyone! We hope that v0.4 has been a blast for y'all to play through. We just wanted to make a quick announcement about the Hunter's Huddle update.

From today onwards, the tier will no longer provide an art reward from Cobalt for first-time subscribers. This change comes especially given increasing number of art pieces we've been having Cobalt draw for PTK -- we feel like the additional art pieces needed from this part of the Hunter's Huddle reward was putting an extreme amount o...

Hey all! Thanks to everyone for their June/v0.3 Ask-Me-Anything submissions for our development team. Please find the AMA below!

1. Are the old sprites (specifically the old rofi puppy dog eyes one) gone forever? 

Cobalt: Most likely yes (though Noh and Pom may need to confirm)! I may edit the current puppy eyes sprite just a bit more to be a bit similar to the old one, but all of the new ones are likely to stay! The current sprites are how I would’v...
