Hey guys! Exciting news – here's a sneak peek before the new early access chapter release. That Friday deadline is fast approaching, and I'm giving it my all to make it.

Now, check out the attached ...

Getting back to you with some more updates on development. Biggest change for now is a new addon for water droplets I've tried out. Doesn't work out for all shots especially with long water trails but it does speed up the whole process while providing some more variety.

Chapter 3 is here! Come take a look at the 7 new faces and everything below that, as the arena is starting to fill up with new characters.
I've started to axe a lot of the text descriptions in this one in favour of letting the images speak for themselves. For the next update I'm planning to get some more music composed although I might fal...

Giving you some work-in-progress shots of two new rooms I've been working on last week. As previously mentioned there's going to be some sweating going on in chapter 4 which you can look forward to. Still not a hundred percent on the scaling and still needs some work on the assets. There are a few issues with fitting the rooms all together right...

Hey there,
It's been a bit quiet on my end these past couple of weeks, so I wanted to give you all some long overdue updates about what's been happening behind the scenes. Life has thrown a few unexpected curveballs, causing a bit of a hectic period. Some of the new characters also required some more work on hair and textures than anticipa...
