Today we're unveiling a brand new gameplay trailer for Garden Life!
Enhanced by a warm style and a gameplay close to real life gardening, Garden Life takes you into a soothing world. Surrounded by a comforting visual and audio environment, this game allows you to bring your garden to life by growing authentic plants such as flowers, shrubs and vines.
Garden Life: A Cozy Simulator will be released on Steam on 22 February 2024!
We're excited to announce the release of version 1.6.2 of our game, "The Devil’s Face". The new version includes the following updates:
- Resolved bug affecting mouse sensitivity - Corrected a bug in the display of the interaction icon - Made the main menu background static - Smoothed out sharp in-game sounds - We added cloud saves support
Additionally, we've been working on a significant update based on your feedback over the past few months. This update is set to be released in early 2024. Stay tuned for more updates!
After 3 months, it's time for the Underworld Denizens to step out of the spotlight and make way for a new faction to take center stage.
You'll have to wait until 5pm GMT for the official Season 3 Trailer and server opening to know which faction it is, but we can hardly contain our excitement.
But that's not all Season 3 will bring.
Later today, you can expect a detailed patch note unveiling every little change. However, let's focus on the main highlight of Season 3 right now:
The New Faction
Yes, you already know, but we have to start with this. A new Faction will come and shake things up, offering more gameplay option and maybe shaken the meta a bit, either in friendly or for the Ladder. We can’t wait to see how it will perform. It comes with a Blood Pass, just like Season 2. You can unlock it instantly with Warpstone or by completing the free version of the Blood Pass.
New TV Cap
We're adjusting the TV Cap once more, lowering it from 2000 to 1800 with the objective to provide a better team diversity on the ladder and better balance. We may continue to modify the TV cap from season to season.
New Concede system
We've implemented a new concede system to prevent concede abuse, featuring varying levels of penalties. With this, we aim to encourage more games to reach completion. It is one of this time when we did something specific for the videogame but we believe it's in the game best interest.
Reworked Inducement UI
We redesigned the inducement screens to better reflect the new way it works (ordering and spending limitations) and to provide more information about the opponent. We believe this will facilitate comprehension and make BB3 more intuitive. We can't wait to read your feedback about it.
Skill Icons
We also reworked several skill icons that were too similar or not representative enough (juggernaut, stand firm, dirty player, dauntless, shadowing, disturbing presence). It's also part of the overall improvement that step by step enhances the quality of life.
Stats Screen
More stats! We all love stats, but that is even more true in Blood Bowl 3. We want to provide coaches with all the stats that matter and can help you improve, or simply for the pleasure of seeing how good you are! The statistics of teams, players, and your rolls at the end of the match are available.
New Star Players
Some very well known Blood Bowl icons are joining the rank of the star players: Grim Ironjaw, Horkon Hearripper, Bryce Cambuel and Ivan Deathshroud.
Multiple Blocks
Last but not least, we added the last of the missing skills: Multiple Block. Skills are now complete!
That's enough for now. We're also gearing up for our next Dev Point, which will focus on something crucial for 2024 and something we hope will get you very excited: the Competitive scene!

Few other substances in Dracania are more powerful than the precious essences sold by merchants. In an unforeseen twist, essence stocks seem to have run dry! What happened? Thabo, the realm magician, sends you to search for clues as to why the supply of essences has run out. All information you find leads you to the mysterious ruins in the desert of Shanri-La.
In Shanri-La, mighty essence vortices raze everything in their path. They have their sights set on the essence merchants in particular, who are making their way to Shanri-Li to put an end to things. Could this mysterious guild be responsible for the shortage of supplies? And what have they done to invoke such scorn from the essence vortices?
Discover the answers to these mysteries in the Desert of Essences event!
It’s Lucid Chan. And it’s been a while since we have some updates! I will be the host and taking Lucid Realm’s updates from now on. Even though the holidays are coming, our bar will have a lot to do. I’ll be asking questions for everyone, including PDD & Kajun, and possibly anyone?
Current State of Shred & Tear
Q: So, spill the beans, what's the Shred & Tear squad cooking up this month?
Kajun admiring her little trophies
PDD: We're putting the spotlight on Lucid Studio, our bite-sized standalone treat. Supporters can get the taste of extra game goodness while we're working on the main feast. Right now, it's like we're throwing a small chilling get-together with Kajun, no boss, and simple “cultured” fun, you know? As for the main game itself, we're cranking up the volume—more enemies, more complex skills & systems in the recipe. Thus we're giving the whole base system structure a makeover so it can handle the heat when we scale up. Stay tuned for the Kajun explosion * insert evil laugh *!
Q: So....Tokyo Game Show last September—how was it rubbing shoulders with the bigwigs? Any impressed faces?
PDD: Oh, you bet! Met up with the crew from DLsite, and they were all buzzing with excitement. We're even cooking up plans for some explicit content releases on DLsite—still in the brainstorming phase. I am still not sure what exactly and how spicy it would be when we are on DLSite, so platform variations are like secret ingredients; we're keeping them under wraps until we're closer to the grand unveiling. Stay tuned!
mOrE NSFW? PDD you MUST consult this with me before doing anything with 'em!
Q: Many have asked about Lucid Studio mode, where… Kajun does… fun stuff. Can you spoil anything? What can we watch? Like we wanna know!!
PDD: Oh, it's a feast for the eyes! We're diving deep into all the models of S&T, enemies, and bosses, giving you a sneak peek on a model shelf. And yes, brace yourself, Kajun's up to some saucy (16+) action—think about controlling her during a relaxing bath, you want Kajun to rub where you want her to ?. Any wild suggestions from your end?
Just chilling
or maybe take a closer look at the enemy to f them up later
PDD, I kill I don't hang around making jokes *claws up*
Q: We knew Shark Girl already, but can you tell us more about her? Like was she close to others bosses?
PDD: Ah, the Shark Girl—she's Salumon's boss. Salumon gave her the lowdown: head to Earth, pick out and assimilate the best MERC around (that's Kajun-chan). As the deadline looms, Shark Girl swoops in to validate the final results. Personality-wise, not much intel, but picture a gladiator-style, brutal manager. Oh, and her direct underling is none other than the Mercy Shark (Squalomon - the mecha shark monster one). It's a deep-sea managerial hierarchy, you could say. Check out this month’s Omake Comic on our Patreon, it’s what happens when you fail the deadline with Shark Girl.
Q: We’ve also seen Overlord Boss with those gigantic mecha tentacles. Do you think it’s too big for her? (i mean in size). By the way how old might it be?
PDD: Ah, the Overlord Boss, a bit tight-lipped on its role for now, but brace yourself for a colossal encounter down the road in Kajun's journey. As for its age... well, let's keep that under wraps for now. The mystery adds to the thrill, right?
Q: Squalomon kill is really brutal, but will there be too many of them?
PDD: Every enemy gets their final dance with Kajun, a gory kill moment. Now, Squalomon is a special case; it's got not one, but two gory kills. Picture this: Kajun, surrounded by a swarm of sharks. Variety is the spice of life, right? Gotta keep things interesting. I want Kajun to be able to kill them in as many brutal ways as possible but well, my budget for animators has its limit ( cry* )
Q: What is the main difference between the first and second prototype of Blood bomb? How does the attack work?
First version
PDD: We've refined the Blood Bomb in version 2, adding more polish to the messy, gooey, and gory aftermath it leaves on the ground. It's not just ground-bound; the Blood Bomb explodes in the air or upon impact if it's airborne for too long—think of it like a grenade. The concept here is Tentamon being treated like spoiled food, exploding into a gooey temperature, and Kajun becoming a mobile microwave of destruction. Imagine Kajun heating up the poor guy using her hand‘s Heat Wave and throwing the hot-explosive-at-any-moment dumplings at you.
Refined version
Q: How big does the impact area of the projectiles attack? Is it even bigger than blood bomb?
PDD: It would be boring if Kajun could only eliminate enemies up close with her claws. Hence, we've introduced various ranged attacks, including projectile and bullet-based assaults. These provide a longer range but come with potentially weaker damage and increased difficulty in aiming compared to the Blood Bomb.
Q: Who is your main inspiration while making the OST for Shred & Tear?
PDD: The inspiration for the soundtrack comes from artists like TeddyLoid, BossFight, and Demetori, particularly the arrangements of Touhou Final Bosses track. This music will be prominently featured in the tunnel raid section. While we already have a track in the demo, this new one is designed to be even faster and more brutal, though not as frustrating, so rest assured.
I like this one from BossFight!
Seasonal Art & Omake
Q: So… last year Kajun dressed up as 2B. And this year, a 3-head mecha waifu, does she share anything with you?
PDD: Yeah! She mentioned she doesn't like tight clothes. I've been trying to keep Kajun trendy with different Halloween costumes every year. Can you guess where this year's idea came from? (Hint: it's from a TikTok video.)
Q: Personally, can you choose? Which one is your favourite among Shark girl, Millennial Witch or Overlord Boss? (I personally gotta choose Overlord cause it’s big)
PDD: I am all over for the girls. But honestly, we gotta focus more on the Witch later on since she doesn't have much story/reveal info about her (yet).
Q: Have you ever planned for Shark Girl to win? Cause you know, every villain has their story? (and a lot of fan requests)
PDD: Oh, the eternal struggle of villains and heroes, right? Well, every boss has its day, but let me tell you, Kajun's got some surprises up her sleeve and bosses are destined to be defeated. Now, whether Shark Girl gets a victory dance or not, that's a secret worth unlocking. But hey, it's not the ending you'd expect! Dive into this month's Patreon rewards for the juicy details. Don't miss out, it's gonna be fin-tastic! 🦈😄
Q: These two are quite naughty, do they fight alot? I hope not cause I wanna see them together more often hehe.
PDD: Oh, it's like hearing nonstop quarrels around them! Everyone's a bit wary of Kajun's temper, but you know, Shark Girl, she's a bit of a tease, and she is not afraid at all. No backing down from a re-fight with Kajun though, they've got that dynamic duo charm. It's like a quirky sitcom, but with more claws and fins! 😄
Q: The new Patreon T-shirt is NSFW PDD! Where can we possibly show her off?
PDD: Well, NSFW is my specialty. But you can flaunt it at home, maybe give your furniture a little fashion show, hehe! 😄
