Development Update #25

Retchid - FromBeneathSoftware

Hello all,

Zombie here with the October update, giving you a brief run down on what we did and are doing.

Code

This month Solarsplace worked on the Toahuggoa (a giant toxic toad for episode 3)

The Gorgonops class has been updated.

A new function was made so that via blueprint we can force a stun on an enemy, good for specific things like Nub-Yeg's stun attacks and scripted events.

Some enhancements and fixes to the existing AI code base, for example AI weren't always facing you when attack so they would missing with their projectiles.

Art

This month I finished the models for the remaining enemies, some vfx, bug fixes, and began the animation work.

Nub-Yeg

Nub-Yeg is the enemy that Shoggoth will spawn during the boss fight. Right now it's using the Abyss Stalkers as place holder enemies.

A wandering mass of eyes and flesh, reading to unleash powerful projectiles as it gazes upon you.

A flying enemy type, with a large field of view so you'll have trouble getting the drop on this guy. But its weakness is that when you stun it, it'll vomit every where, damaging anything around it, including enemies and environmental destructibles.

Deep Ones

The Deep Ones are called upon to aid the Evoker in combat, they are small melee enemies that are quire fast, but have very little health. If not dealt with you could be easily surrounded.

Animation

Last week I started working on the animations for the enemies. I got about 100 new animations done and all the required AI setup that's needed to get all the animations working smoothly.

I also got all the tech work flow and hardware setup to create motion captured stuff for the game. So I'll blending the hand made stuff with motion captured work so it feels consistent across the game.

Nub-Yeg puking after a stun attack.

The Dholes (in a test map) all be alerted to the player

Here are some samples from the Charybdis, a flying enemy type from Episode 3.

Cheers for reading,

Zombie

October Status Update

Unexpected Consequences - eternalmacman

I am currently working on the final scene of the final day of Unexpected Consequences Chapter 4. I still have one or two gallery images and a short end sequence with Aurora to work on after I finish this scene, but I am now mostly finished with the artwork for chapter 4.

There are still quite a few animations left to render, but I'm pleased with how everything is progressing and expect to release the next major Steam update around the middle of December. I will have an exact date in November's status update. The complete chapter 4 will contain 46 animations, most with multiple angles, over 3200 images, and almost 40,000 words. By the end of chapter 4, you will have completed your harem, had some fun time with all of the love interests as well as a few guests, and set everything up for the very revealing chapter 5.

Changing subjects for a minute, Altered Bloodlines, the prequel to Unexpected Consequences is releasing on Steam tomorrow. It takes place seven years before Unexpected Consequences and follows the FBI case that brought the Syndicate out of myth and legend. The base game is free and contains to prologue of the story. When complete, Altered Bloodlines will contain five chapters and an epilogue in addition to the prologue with each chapter being made available as affordable paid DLC, starting with Chapter 1 early next year for $1.99 US or your regional equivalent. The epilogue will be included with the Chapter 5 DLC, so it will be 5 DLCs total to complete the game.

Finally, here are some more preview images from Unexpected Consequences Chapter 4.

Announcing TUNIC: Design Works! 🦊⚔️🛡️

TUNIC - Em

Lead Developer Andrew Shouldice, the team behind TUNIC, and Finji have collaborated with the talented team at Lost In Cult to create TUNIC: Design Works, a new TUNIC vinyl, even more exclusive goodies, plus some 🤫 special secrets!

You can pre-order now through January 8th, 2026! https://www.lostincult.co.uk/tunic

Signed versions of our ultimate document of game designer Andrew Shouldice's journey to making Tunic will only be available for the first 48 hours of the pre-order period, so get in quickly!

More than ten years ago, Andrew Shouldice decided it was time to pursue his dream of developing a video game that paid homage to his formative experiences of the medium. He wanted to evoke the wonder and mystery of those early adventures that left so much unspoken, so much unknown; titles that came with extensive manuals that only aroused his curiosity further. When it was time to take the first step along that path, he pulled out his sketchbook and wrote three words.

"Make a game."

Seven years later, he achieved that goal, as Tunic was released to a rapturous reception from players and critics alike. Its development journey had been long and complex, and Shouldice had traced each and every step in that very same sketchbook – and several more besides.

Uncover the secrets of Tunic's development (and even some of our own!) in our latest Design Works edition by award-winning writer Christian Donlan ⚔️

We'll be doing both traditional Deluxe and Standard versions for TUNIC, diving deep into its vulpine protagonist, well-hidden secrets and that delightful in-game manual – illustrated with screens, artwork and glimpses of development builds.

The Deluxe Edition comes in a beautiful slipcase designed by the artist Ma-ko who adorned Tunic's in-game manual, and a presentation box that reflects the colours of Tunic's verdant environments and plucky protagonist 🌳

There's more sides to this than meets the eye! We've got some hexagonal sew on patches in a special presentation box, and a super secret Famicom style box that isn't just an empty shell... 🔎

We're also bundling in six A5 art prints of Tunic's scenic vistas and a bookmark with the fox's sword blind-debossed into heavyweight green paper stock, meaning you'll never get lost 🔖

Picture an alternate universe in which Tunic was released alongside the classics that inspired it: this A2 poster imagines how it might have been advertised, with art from illustrator Marcel Mosqi 🎨

Our Signed copies are only available in the first 48 hours of the pre-order period, with Deluxe Editions closing on January 8th, 2026, so dodge roll on over before they're gone! 🪙

Every adventure needs a soundtrack, and Tunic: Design Works is no exception! We've a 2xLP available in a gorgeous pink and purple sunburst featuring original music composed for Tunic by Lifeformed & Janice Kwan 🌄

Pre-order now through January 8th, 2026!
