Since it's Throwback Thursday, here are some very early sketches and sprites for the main character in Daughter of Crone. We tried a few different sizes and colour palettes before landing on the final design.

@FormlessFlesh Thanks!
Happy Wishlist Wednesday! I am a bit busy... I need to pick a lot of flowers for all the wonderful people who have wishlisted our game! You guys are the best! ❤️
And to those who haven't... It's here, in case you feel the need.

Steam Next Fest starting soon ahh! Fingers crossed that it will go well.
Small talk is nice, actually! Our new demo has some additional dialogue options just for getting to know the NPCS. Now you can compliment the baker on his beard!

On mukava rupatella jonninjoutavia! Lisättiin demoon paljon uusia puhevaihtoehtoja, joiden avulla voi tutustua pelin hahmoihin. Voit vaikka kehua leipurin partaa!

Alright, let's share some pixel art for change. This time the king got a new portrait and...
Wait, what is happening to his shirt? What sorcery is this?!
Our game, Daughter of Crone, is part of the Steam Next Fest next week. Our demo is available now, during the festival and after it. It would mean a lot to us if you left us a review after playing!

Meidän pelissä voi olla homo. Ajateltiin vain ilmoittaa, jos joku ei ole huomannut sitä LGBTQ-avainsanaa meidän Steam-sivulla. Hyvää Pride-kuukautta!
🌈🌈🌈
You can be gay in our game. Just putting that out there in case you did not notice the giant LGBTQ tag on our Steam page. Happy Pride Month!

Thanks!
The beach is a lovely place to take a walk, but you must watch out for the Saltsnappers. If you wander too close, they can get... Snappy.
Do you like magic? Discovering secrets? Potion brewing? Romance? A story with many possible endings? Then you might like Daughter of Crone, the game we are currently making. We aim to release the game by the end of 2025! ❤️

The new demo for Daughter of Crone is out now! You can play it here:

Some things we have added to the demo include:
🖤 A proper tutorial!
🖤 Updated chat UI
🖤 Two more optional quests
🖤Four new NPCs
🖤Additional dialogue
🖤 Not just one, but TWO horses you can pet
Just a few more tweaks and touch-ups until we can update the demo! We already have a horse you can pet, so it's about 500% better already. What should be her name? 🐎
@EntangledPear That's sweet, thanks! It took a while to find the right style for the graphics in our game. Pixel art isn't easy...
Still working on the demo update... Somehow, we keep finding new bugs to fix. It's like our bugs have bugs on them. It's wild!
We now have a Codex. You can find information about the NPCs you meet and the enemies you defeat here. You can also revisit the skill tutorials, just in case you missed something. 😉
Due to illness and other unfortunate circumstances, we have not been able to update our game demo this month. However, we only need a bit of polishing and bug testing before it is done. So it should be playable soon!

Have you ever encountered a moment when a game gives you a certain dialogue option, but the dialogue that comes out is something entirely different? Like, you want to say something nice, but the game 'tricks you' into insulting someone. Man, I hate when that happens!
We made the main character's portrait change expressions with certain dialogue options. It communicates the feeling better than just words and adds a bit of personality to the dialogue.
