XXXIV September 2022 Progress Update!
Hey everyone!It's been a while since we made an update post for XXXIV! Through June and July I was heavily occupied with getting the environment pipeline for Pure Onyx up and moving again, now with emphasis on integrating 2D painting into the workflow. With things progressing well there, I've put effort in making sure XXXIV's goals match our strengths.In August I further refined the direction I want to take XXXIV, and decided that to make it special over the long term it's worth going the extra step to have more elements from th...

July 31 Patched Test Release!
Hey again!We've updated the July 31 Test Release download links with a patched version! It fixes an assortment of AI issues (most related to post-H scene or post-grapple behaviors), and two are pretty facepalmy ones.

Both of these are now fixe...
