Mudborne Demo Out Now!
Hey friends - IT'S NEW GAME TIME!
I’m excited to announce that Mudborne’s new demo is out RIGHT NOW on Steam:
I’m also excited to announce that the lovely folks at Future Friends will be helping to publish your new fav froggy game with me. Check out the trailer below for a sneak peak of what you're in for:

A spiritual successor of sorts to APICO, Mudborne instead focuses on genetic manipulation and generational puzzles to create and discover all sorts of frog species, that act as keys to let you travel between the waking and dreaming worlds - the demo takes you through the main mechanics and creating 8 different species. If you love APICO I think you’ll love this, there’s a lot of stuff I’m doing differently but you should still feel right at home.
Whether you played the original gamejam version or not you’re in for a treat, as this is a completely new game, new art, new mechanics, new music, new engine - the whole works. I’m really looking forward to you all getting your slimy green hands on it, I hop you enjoy!! <3
Dampest regards,
Ell
Crystallum 4.2.0 HF1
Hot fix: Fixed beebank output slots being outside the menu
Crystallum 4.2.0
Hey Beekeepers!
Just a small update to fix a few outstanding bugs, plus a couple quick QoL changes that are hopefully useful, including the hive tool now having a 2nd use with right-click to replenish frames, some better frame durability, and a proper sort order for hopper distribute targets (distance) :) ~ Ell
Patch Notes
General Changes
You can now right-click with a Hive Tool to add empty frames to a hive (X/Square on gamepad) - you can still use left-click to gather frames/honeycomb
Beebank 'tabs' section is now 4 bees wide so its much easier to scroll through all your species
Tweaked "Breathing Space" quest to remind people the Lifespan+Productivity modifier settings exist for making the bee process faster or slower
Apicobolt/Mysterious/Netted frames will now have 20 durability instead of 10 (will only apply to new frames)
Crystal items + automation machines now need 24 bees unlocked instead of 14 bees to access (tools are still 12)
Hoppers will now prioritise targets by distance (closer wins) instead of seemingly random - they're still first come first served until full
Chance of honeycore seeds turning into normal crystals or the larger crystal stalagmites is now 50/50
Bug Fixes
Fixed ploppers leaving 10bl in machines they gather from and not distributing their last 10bl
Fixed a crash with pickers when there are suddenly no flowers nearby (sc_picker_alarm6)
Fixed Beewell/Combristle seed packet sprites being swapped
Fixed music playing multiple times when sleeping for multiple days
Fixed watering can durability not going down with use
Fixed being able to put liquid crystal in a bottler
Fixed radio making it look like there were 12 special tracks added in 4.0 (there's only 11)
Fixed mossy/checkered fences not connected with wood fences or walls correctly
Fixed hoppers showing a visual of items moving to 'full' menus
Crystallum 4.1.4
Hey Beekeepers!
Quick update to fix a crash a few of you have been getting with the picker! Also did a tweak that might help performance, or it might not so let’s roll the dice - let me know if you get any weirdness ~ Ell
Patch Notes

Crystallum 4.1.3
