Howdy folks, McSkinny here. The end is near, and new beginnings in The Smoke Room and this month's special release are coming soon. Flynn's been a real joy to write for. It's a shame that we can't see much more of this perspective in the pre-hysteria...

We have some unfortunate delay news, but thought we should share some of the games assets. Here we have the main menu art for The Smoke Room. Art is by the incredible Kardamon, whose Twitter you can find @LimeCardamon
So things have been a bit rocky with The Smoke Room. Unfortunately, were going to have to delay its release due to some issues with the story. It should be in the next month, but...

Howdy folks, McSkinny here. Lotsa new stuff in this build. Abyuse made a killer 1 minute-and-a-half loop of a track we use for a scene and it's moody as all hell. Plus, some new spritework from Kardamon and Stardustpup. At this point, we've got about all the sprites we need, unless there's calls for more variance in Kudzu's scowling.

Howdy folks, McSkinny here. Apologies for the sorta shorter than usual update. Having the different variations in how scenes play out due to choices made earlier means there is about as much content, just not as much in a single playthrough. However, we do have some good news: Stranj (our original CG artist who did the menu and quite a few of the older CGs) and Abyuse (our edgy music dude...

I've got some unfortunate news, but before that, please enjoy this beautiful art by Haps. It's a background he did for the upcoming update.
So I'm going to be honest here and say that this update is going to need some rewriting. After editing and playing through it all night, I've decided that a few scenes aren't clicking like I'd like them to. After the last update, I'd like to get this right the first time. Because of this, I'm going to need to push the release to the 30th-1st for pat...

2019-06-21 19:30:18 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys. Because the Echo update got delayed a bit, we wanted to shift some release dates so that they’re not so crowded together. Those dates will be as follows:
The next build of Echo for patrons will be released on the 21st
The next Adastra build for patrons will be released on the 28th
Sorry again for the delays. Things got a bit busy for us, but this extra time will allow me to make the update for Adastra even better and heftier!

Howdy folks, McSkinny here. For the first time in maingame Echo, we have expressions. Just for Carl and Jenna and just for the new content, but it's there. This is all thanks to Kardamon, our background artist, and Stardustpup, the original sprite artist for Echo from friggen five years ago. I'm excited to see how these new expressions can breathe li...

In which feelings are talked about.
Hey guys! So after getting a lot of feedback on the patron build, I went back in and re-worked some stuff toward the end. There's a lot of intense emotions in this update, so it's understandable that things got a bit heated. I agreed with some of the issues people took with the update however, and tried to address some of that. Keep ...
