Friends! I just finished watching the Doom Annihilation movie. My expectations were hell low, and still… let’s just move on ya’all ːcleachaosː.
So, the Steam Winter sale is here! To cap off 2019, I would like to offer this limited time Christmas costume:
As usual, just open the menu screen and follow that link. You know the drill by now. The costume will be available until the end of this winter sale. A gift from me, and as thank you for your support over these past 6 months.
If you have a friend with Clea on their wishlist, I am sure they will appreciate your gift? This is the time of giving, after all ːcleasmugː. Trust me, I know. I have spent tons of money on my nieces and nephews over the past week ːclealolː.
Hope you all have a great holiday filled with happiness and games. I want to game as much as possible during my week break. With the Xbox and Switch releases of Clea scheduled for 2020, you also know I will have ton of hours to clock in. Aside from that, also a little something else I would like to share with you all next year.
Office party this arvo, Star Wars movie tomorrow, then family fun on Sunday. Hope your few days ahead are awesome, too!
Mouse out ːcleahappyː.
Clea on Xbox!
Hey friends, big news ːcleachaosː! Xbox and I will team up to bring Clea to the Xbox One in 2020.
I cannot thank you all enough for your support. As we roll into the new decade, I hope Clea can reach more players, and we can continue to build this friendly community.
Enjoy the holidays, and let’s aim for an awesome 2020 ːcleahappyː!
(Cheers strovi_ for the artwork!)
Photo shoot comp!
Happy weekend folks ːcleasunniesː! As hinted at earlier, I want to set up a fun photo shoot comp for everyone to enjoy as we head into the break.
How to participate: Take the best shot you can via camera mode, then upload your piece to either the screenshots section on Steam, Twitter or Instagram. Please include a #cleasnap tag to make sure I catch it.
Deadline: The comp runs from now until Jan 1st, 2020!
How to win: This will be a random draw, so as long as you make your best effort, you are included. To be transparent, zero effort shots may be excluded, haha ːclealolː. You are more than welcome to take multiple shots, but we will include one entry per player.
Prizes: At the end of this period, I will pick 8 winners. 3 will score a pack of postcards, while 5 will receive one Steam key of their choice from my portfolio. If you are a postcard winner and would rather not share your address, we can also go with the Steam key option. Also, to the postcard winners, if you wish to have one of them signed, please include what name you would like it under ːcleachaosː.
Disclaimer: The postcards will be sent out via regular mail. This means there is a chance they may be lost along the way. Even though this has never happened with my monthly giveaways (via my newsletter), I still wish to flag it. If the mail as not come through a month after your reply (if you win), please feel free to reach out again, and we can opt for the Steam key route instead.
Thank you, and most important, have fun! Between you and me, I have never, ever won any lucky draws in my 30+ years of life. However, if we focus on the fun aspect of taking shots, everyone is a winner ːcleahappyː.
December patch
Happy weekend everyone ːcleahappyː! As you may have seen on the news, Australia is in a bushfire crisis right now. The sun is a raw red, there is smoke everywhere outside, and the sky is orange like on Mars (thank you to all the firefighters). Probably best not to be outside at a time like this, so here I am at home, putting together this newly released December patch. Here are the updates:
- Previously, if you made a noise while an enemy spawned, he/she would not be alerted. This is no longer the case ːcleachaosː. - Before, if you made a noise while an enemy is entering/leaving a door, he/she would not be alerted. This is also no longer the case ːcleachaosː. - Fixed bug where the cutscene speech bubbles are misaligned if you have the pause menu open. - Minor door indicator UI tweak.
Thank you to 唐, and every other player in the community who has chimed in with these reports. As usual, if you spot any new issues as a result of this patch, please let me know, and I will jump onto it right away.
If you are a fellow Aussie, take care!
Stahp it XD
Sup pals ːcleahappyː. I see the Black Friday sale introduced quite a few new players to Clea. Welcome to the community! I am glad to see everyone is enjoying Clea, unlocking costumes, challenging Chaos(+) Mode etc. With that said…
Ya’all gotta stahp! Some players mentioned they used Clea’s camera mode to peek ahead and spot enemies early. As you can imagine, the camera feature’s purpose is to set up and snap cool screenshots. I am joking, of course. You can enjoy Clea as you see fit. Still, I would love to recommend keeping that camera off, at least on your first play through.
Stahp it. Get some help ːcleachaosː.
Actually, you all inspired a new idea from me. As we approach the Christmas holidays, I would like to set up a camera event for players to have fun in. I might get some prizes organized, then get in touch again with another post. Please keep an eye out ːcleasunniesː!
P.S. Also got multiple Clea related news on the way. Just need to wait a while longer for that ideal timing. Thank you for your patience, and please look forward to the future.
Black Friday/Autumn costumes (free offer until Dec 3rd)!
Sup pals ːcleasunniesː. The Black Friday/Autumn sales are here! What are you all getting? I should go and see what I have on my wishlist this weekend.
As we have done in the past, I have put up a couple of costumes on offer for this sale. First, we have the dark themed Black Friday dress. Along with that comes the Autumn colored costume. See those textures on her dress? They are in fact filtered through real autumn leaves snapped by a camera. Hope you will enjoy playing Clea’s campaign in these dresses!
During this discount period, if you fire up Clea (full version) and open the menu screen, you will find your usual download link to these costumes. Please pick them up now to avoid missing out.
With the recently released arcade mode, Chaos+ difficulty, invisible mode and camera feature, there is no better time to experience Clea. I look forward to welcoming you into our friendly community.
Thank you! ːcleahappyː
P.S. It looks like the Steam Award nominations are open. Of course, please go ahead and vote for whichever games you feel deserve the recognition. For me, if Doom Eternal had came out this year, that most likely would have been my GOTY.
Clea (and other) postcards!
Hey pals ːcleahappyː! Another batch of Clea (and other) postcards are about to be sent out, so I want to use this chance to remind everyone of how the draw works. Once a month, I pick one winner from these 3 categories:
1) A newsletter subscriber (subscribe via invertmouse.com) 2) A regular Facebook page support/commenter (fb.com/invertmouse) 3) A regular Twitter supporter (@InvertMouse)
These are stocks I have left from previous conventions. Once they run out, I may give away free DLCs etc each month instead. If you are interested, I hope to catch you in one of our friendly communities.
Thank you ːcleasunniesː!
Clea fanart vol 4, plus cosplay!
Sup all ːcleasunniesː. Hope you will have an awesome weekend ahead. To the hoopers out there, I am off to watch Lamelo Ball play the Sydney Kings this Sunday!
Hey, also just want to say, there will be some more sick news related to Clea over the coming months. Been grinding in work daily here in my bedro—grand studio, but I want to get much more done before I speak further. Please sit back and look forward to those news when they land.
Today, I would like to thank a couple of gamers for expressing their love for Clea. You know, despite having made games for 5-6 years (far longer if we count titles not under the InvertMouse name), no one has ever cosplayed any of my characters. That changed recently when Alice Nespoli kindly put together this awesome and accurate Clea cosplay!
You can drop her a follow on the gram (is that what cool people call it?) to show your support:
I also want to thank everyone who has picked up merch from Clea’s Redbubble store. If you have bought something, and the item arrives, perhaps you can take a pic and share it? I would love to see them.
Sup pals ːcleasunniesː! Hope you had a nice Halloween.
First, let me pay my respects to those who have conquered Clea’s campaign on Chaos+. This shoutout is for those who have cleared this mode without any special costume abilities, and with infinite saves unticked! That, after all, is the intended experience, and the ultimate challenge Clea has to offer.
For the past 3 or 4 months, I have been working through Doom 4 on Ultra Nightmare (1 life). I am on the final level now. Throughout the process, I have died several times after being trapped in bad situations. For example, being surrounded by Hell Knights.
My first question was, next time the Hell Knights cornered me, what should I do? Then, I thought about it some more, and my mindset changed to, “No, why the hell should I let them surround me in the first place?” As time went on, I played more and more aggressively. If I die, it will be due to my own mistakes, not because I allowed the demons to surround me while I cowered in a corner. I act, you respond on your heels.
Next thing I knew, I adopted that attitude onto my street basketball sessions, which then stretched to other areas of my life. This is the magic of games, or any great challenge. When you are pushed to the edge, you grow not only with the context of that challenge, but as a person.
So, if you have yet to beat Chaos+, I would like to invite, or even challenge you, to take it on. Are the Chaos Servants too fast and scary? What if you drew their attention on purpose, then snuck off and kept them at bay? They may be agents of horror, but you can still seize control. This is just one of the many ways players can approach Clea’s campaign. I hope you can continue to express your style through Clea, and any games beyond.
