Alright, so before I start talking about the new art/pictures, please keep the following in mind: I have to draw art with my mouse and keyboard....
I have a wacom drawing tablet, but its the old one where you draw and look at the screen, not the new expensive fancy one where you actually see what you draw. I tried... but can't get used to it. My lines look like trash. It's actually far more efficient, and clean to draw with the pen tool in photoshop. It's a great tool! The 3 drawings of the dead guy, prisoner and chemist were done this way... but first... it's slow... like really slow and second, it still looks like sh*t.
I had to make a decision today. Either continue to draw mediocre art with the pen tool and waste maybe 1 week per art piece, or use real photos that I have edited to look in the art style that I am going for.
So I decided to go with option B and use my time to actually make new gameplay elements for the game, making the game more fleshed out and fun. I can revisit the art at a later stage if necessary. But honestly, I think it look pretty rad right now. Let me know what you think. Love it or hate it?
It's far faster to do it this way and besides, it's a free game and I am 1 guy doing everything. I want awesome hand drawn art, but I am also realistic and make the best of what I can and have.
So... the pictures are actually real pictures. I informed myself about fair use and copyright stuff and all that cr*p and I think I am in the clear since I am not selling the art itself and since I modified it extremely to represent almost something completely unique and different. Time will tell... if I get a copyright strike or not lol.
I like the new art because I wanted minimalistic art that is at the same time realistic looking. I want the game to look grim and dark not cartoony.
New stuff: - Main room art: This is supposed to represent the player. If you have the dlc then he has a gold chain.
Dealers Page Art Thugs Lawyers - It's edited saul goodman. I mean come on, as a huge fan I had to go with saul! Drugs Buildings Jobs Page
The other 3 are the old art for getting arrested, chemists and rival gang attack.
I will also update the store page with the new stuff. Next I will focus on balance and gameplay elements. The different art on changing the rooms was something I wanted since day 1, so, it's here now. Hope you like it!
If you've been feeling an increased bug-hatred these last few days, watch today's stream and see how the bugs get fucked up. There will be Paula, there will be beautiful rewards.

As you probably know, we've been hard at work on our other game, Children of the Eclipse, and sadly Exploding Babies has been left in a hot car with no A/C on for FAR to long without any attention or nutrients.
But DON'T WORRY! We're here to take care of the situation.
We've been preparing something excellent for you guys. A holiday update is in the works, prepped for release THIS FRIDAY. We've got all sorts of cool stuff coming your way. Here's a few:
GRAPHICS OVERHAUL!
We wanted to make the game JUST a bit less dark, but still appropriately twisted, so we went for a more cartoony look. We're also hoping to release the game on Switch, so a clearer image will help make sense of the action even on a smaller screen.
NEW BABY - ?
Yes - the new baby will be very holiday seasony.
NEW GAME MODE - TEAM DEATHMATCH
Like regular deathmatch, but now split into two teams for more coordinated (you wish) exploding!
A BUNCH OF TWEAKS!
An impressive pile of bug fixes, tweaks to game modes and maps, better CPU AI for single player goodness etc etc...
UPDATE DISCOUNT!
We're planning to kick off the launch of the update with a discount, so now is the perfect time to get the game, or if you already have it, tell your friends to get it too!
Wishlist the game and/or follow us on Steam or social media to get the latest news!
