Hey everyone!
We were alerted by our Inner Circle member Malkavir (thanks very much for letting us know!) about a serious issue with our test release for some users who have non-English versions of Windows. The game would interpret our physics commands incorrectly and launch Onyx arou...

Hey guys,
I want to apologize for not having the release ready for you quite yet. We've been working very hard since our last update to get it finished ASAP, however we won't have it ready by the end of the month =(.
The good news is that we're close, and the art progress...

Hey guys!
Firstly, I apologize for not having the release ready yet. We pretty severely underestimated the amount of work it would take to merge our combat and physics updates with our latest stable build and still get things polished. We are however nearing completion! 2019-11-29 08:18:29 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey everyone!
The first release featuring the 3D character overhaul will be ready by the end of the month! We're currently still working on updating the combat code (mostly collision and physics), not only so it behaves with the 3D characters better, but because we need to consi...

Hey guys!
We're on track to have a release sometime in November. The goal is to have combat with the Splicer Thugs functional (and pretty). I intend to have an earlier release for the Inner Circle.
Mr. Kittyhawk has been working on improving the combat system ...

Hey guys!
Mr. Kittyhawk has been working hard on updating the remaining combat system code for the 3D conversion, and it's given me some time to focus on environments and FX. We'll hopefully have some combat footage for next week's update :D.

Hey guys!
This is the second part of the October monthly update. This one will be all about Onyx's expanded move set and the combo system, which we've begun developing pretty thoroughly now that we're able to animate more quickly. Some of the animations I'm posting today are sti...

Hey everyone!
This is the first of what will be a two part update! This one will focus on the progress we've made on assets, as well as give you a glimpse into the game mechanics of Pure Onyx's Mission Mode (RPG / Beat 'em Up hybrid mode).
The second part will be a ...

Hey again guys!
Here's the second part of the update I mentioned a couple days ago :D. I showed a lot of our animation progress with the move list, but we've made gotten a lot of other stuff done in the past couple weeks.

Hey guys!
This post got a lot bigger than I was expecting, so I'm breaking it up into two parts. This one will be all about Onyx's expanded move set and the combo system, which we're getting deep into now that we're able to animate more quickly. A lot of the animations I'm post...
Hey guys!
I had hoped to have a solid video of the 3D conversion in action, but decided to hold off a bit so we can polish it up some more. It's completely functional, but now that we're getting to work with real animations with transitions we're taking the time to make it flow and fe...

Hey guys!
We're just about back to having the game in playable form, and while it took longer than expected, we're at the point where the 3D conversion is paying off. Animating is much more efficient process now, It's also far easier to include alternate clothing models i...

Hey guys!
Sorry for being slow to update here the past week. We've been getting a lot of uninteresting but necessary tech stuff related to the 3D conversion out of the way while I grind out the animations for Onyx and the Splicer Thug.
Now that we're producing anim...

Hey guys!
We've made some very good progress on Onyx's rig and the animation pipeline since the last update, and I'm now in the middle of creating test animations so we can get the game back into a playable state. I have a few fun examples to show off, as well as new models from Limbo...

Hey everyone!
I'm doing a special second monthly update this month to show off what we've been working on the last couple of weeks. It should vastly speed up content production, and will hopefully provide some clarity as to why we pushed back the Pure Onyx release this month. <...

We all took a few days to unwind after the last release, but have been back at it this past week and have quite a bit to show already.
One of the more important updates is that we have dynamic physics working *on character skeletons*. In short, this sho...

The update is relatively short this month, but that's mostly because there's a lot of new artwork to show :D. Also, we’re planning for the next Pure Onyx release to be on the 5th!

We have yet another new enemy to show off this week! It's been a team effort to get this guy worked out in short order, especially since he'll likely be one of the more difficult enemies to animate. As such, we've had time for little else, but currently the plan is to ...
