IMPORTANT DEMONSCHOOL UPDATE: Street lights have lil bugs now

We've been adding lots of polish and flourish with our extra time on Demonschool. This before and after video of maxing relationships should give you a good idea. Before: A small kiss decal. That's all we had time for. After: Full-on shoujo manga animatic.

Today is a really good day to wishlist Demonschool btw store.steampowered.com/app/1900250/...

Thursday afternoon vibes

Anyway:

Crushing bugs, crushing dreams

Release date! Release date! As announced this morning in ~Indie World Japan~ Demonschool is coming September 3rd! We have been working really hard on this. We hope you will enjoy it.

???

There is no leveling up in Demonschool. Instead the player earns class credits from battle which are used to study techniques. These techniques change how characters play - for example Aina, who passes through enemies, can equip a technique that lets her drop poison across her entire attack path.

Attention colorblind folks: we're working on it! Demonschool has a lot of red-on-reddish and yellow-on-greenish situations in battle, so we've adjusted our selection grid to allow different color schemes. We will have a selection of the most common variants from the main menu.

There's a student newspaper in Demonschool, and we thought it would be cool to include a screenshot from a big event in each issue from the player's own playthrough. Here it is working perfectly first time (whoops)

Is there such a thing as too much stuff on screen or no

Just a humble reminder that programmer art is good, actually.

What's a week in the life of a demonschool student like? It's like this.

Note to devs: Yarn Spinner is great for getting dialog up and running fast, controlling portraits and poses, but we also extended it to script our sprite-based cutscenes. After a programmer set up flags a non-technical person made this whole cutscene in yarn. It's only $50 and you own it forever.

(this is what's supposed to happen)

Hmm this doesn't seem quite right

all our plans are falling into place (plz wishlist plz, and thank you @duncanrobson.com for editing the trailer AND the streamer roundup) store.steampowered.com/app/1900250/...

Anything you hear about us inserting subliminal messages into our new trailer to force streamers to dance is true.

Keen viewers will note the return of our pseudo 3D driving game Oh, Deer! - we've ported the alpha (which has been unavailable for years) to Demonschool as an unlockable minigame. Your requests have been (partially) answered! (note: this is an old trailer - it is not "out now" on PlayStation Mobile)

It's true, demons can't stop you from hanging out with your friends. That's important now more than ever. New trailer! New release window!! (Very real, we are so close to content complete.) Wishlist! Wishlist!! Wishlist!!! store.steampowered.com/app/1900250/...

anyway get ready for the double XP event of the season

don't get et

She is gonna go BLIND

We also updated the individual "gonna kill ya for sure" danger tile as well, with a fancy spin.

Here's what movement tiles looked like before the change - they popped automatically and felt a lot more static. with the change, the UI moves in the directions that the player can move, giving a subtle hint of directional possibility.

A tiny thing but we updated our UI - danger tiles (the red lines) now have motion to help with visibility, and we also added a proliferation to the movement (orange), sidestep (blue), and attack (red) indicator tiles to give a better sense of directionality. It's subtle stuff but it helps!
