CRAWL Halloween Update!!!

Update v0.11 (Vengeful Spectre) is here

We have an extra spooooky update out for Halloween yay!

image

We always envisioned the ghosts flying all over the place and haunting things but never had a chance to implement it til now, and I’m so glad we did! Zip around the place rattling chains, making paintings bleed, or inhabiting furniture to fling it across the room! We have two fishy new monsters, a crapload of bug fixes, and finally MIMICS! Watch out for those chests, becuase some of them can be sneakily inhabited by spirits, and those things pack a mean chomp!!

Hope you have fun with it all 🙂

One More Fetid Deity

Teok

This guy is even more normal… a little TOO normal if you ask me.

image

Teok is hungry.

Glub Glub Glub

Um… Glub?

Another normal guy… very very normal…

image

Hail Glub.

More God Images

Had some requests for the Qaahl image

Here he is, in all his completely-normal-dude glory!

Nothing weird going on here, just a regular dude chilling out on his monolithic stone throne…

A Throne For The Rat King

Things remain extremely ratty around here!

We need to do steam trading cards for the release, so I’m doing higher detail images of gods on their thrones for the artwork!

image

For me the priority really is more bosses, but there are 1000 other things like trading cards and achievements that we need for launch, so I’m trying to get them all done ASAP, to try and buy enough time to have a go at more bosses- fingers crossed!!!

Update 0.10 Is Out And It’s Ratty

Unleash the Vermin!

We have a new update out, chock to the gills with new rodents!

image

We’ve revamped the store teleporters, to give new heroes a better chance to go to the store for upgrades, and we have a bunch of new weapon-magics along with better art for showing the magic on your weapons. Hope you enjoy it and it tides you over while we plod away on the longer-term stuff 🙂

More art style explorations

Now he has a monster to fight…

Continuing to figure out this dark low-palette style.

A little art style test

Just some pixel doodling

Just a little test for an art style I’ve been daydreaming about… I have an idea for a little combat-arena game where you can sort of do some “farming” type stuff between fights to alter what kind of stuff spawns in the arena, and you use bits and pieces you chopped off monsters during the fight to grow new things… it’s all very early but I’m having fun daydreaming about it anyway 🙂

Powerhoof Streaming

I’ve finally started some CRAWL Dev streams!

I’ve got a new computer that can handle my streaming needs, so I’ve been streaming work animating new monsters for Crawl.

image

>>Check out our channel HERE<<

You should be able to watch my last two streams up there, where I animate the all new giant mega blobfish, and drink a bunch of tea 🙂 Hopefully I can keep it up and do this as a regular thing every week!

**UPDATE** sorry guys, the streams are lost to the ether! I was planning on backing them up to Youtube, but I got busy and they got deleted by Twitch- turns out they only stay up for 2 weeks if you don’t make them into highlights. Anyway, it was a fun time, and a good learning experience- hopefully I can get streaming more regularly from here on in!

“KEVIN THE DESTROYER” update is out!

Finally got this one out woooooo! v0.9

Well, the hero intros that I thought would take a few weeks ended up taking months, but we’ve finally got them in there, along with a whole bunch of new monsters 🙂

image

You can see the monsters there, and check out some examples of our randomly-generated intros here:

Our buddy Old Shrimpeyes really came though with the goods for the voiceover, with about 250 new lines recorded so hopefully they don’t get boring too quick!

Have fun with it guys, and as always don’t hesitate to comment here or in the Steam forums and let us know if you’ve got ideas on tweaks and improvements, or if you find and sneaky bugs that slipped through Dave’s withered fingers!
