Hey guys!
I've received a few reports of $10+ patrons not being able to see the Inner Circle tier posts. Patreon made a major change to how creators select who views posts recently, and I think it knocked loose a few bugs that were sitting dormant. If you're a $10+ patro...
Inner Circle Update for December 20 2018!
Hey guys!
So, I’m afraid to say we’re a bit behind on the H content for Pure Onyx, but there will be a special eye candy piece for everyone on X-mas :D.
Regarding the H content however, it’s not all bad. It’s just taken longer than expected to learn ho...

Hey guys!
So, not a whooole lot of visuals to show off this week as we’ve been focused on some technical stuff, prepping 3D assets, and breaking down artwork for animating in Spine. What I do have is pretty fun though. Below you’ll find an updated build of the game that contains s...

Hey guys!
The first stage of Pure Onyx is coming along really well, and we’ve got a lot to show you :D. Limbo and Kitsune are also working full time now, so we’ll hopefully be making a lot of steps forward on character art and animation this coming month. We’re also going to try to have some...

We’re happy to have gotten the first Pure Onyx release out to the $3 tier, but we’ve been really busy working on some other aspects of the game as well, including artwork for the first level and environment effects. First though, how about a little rant :X?

Hey everyone!
I’m going to keep it relatively short and sweet this month. Progress is going very well on Pure Onyx! We required some extra support for the artwork, so we’ve pulled TK over to help with coloring, and we’ve added a new animator as well – Limbo’s friend, Kitsune....

Hey guys!
Mr. Kittyhawk discovered the likely culprit behind the Admin mode / startup issues with the Pure Onyx test release. Turns out Unity was outputting one of the settings files to *his* user path instead of *your* user path, meaning for anyone that ran the test build there’ll be an extra W...

Hey everyone!
We’ve got the first playable test of Pure Onyx ready for you :D.
As I mentioned in the last update, this is a pretty barebones functionality test. It’s brief, is still using the character sketches for artwork, and probably more clunky than fun – but that’s where w...
