First Playable Demo at PAX East 2020.
The second month of the year has already come for us, and our technologies are rushing to keep up with the onslaught of daemon possessions.
We are under oath to let you know of this event though: at PAX East, come by the Kitfox Games booth (#27039) to play the first ever public demo of Lucifer Within Us. We hope to see you there, exorcists.
Development
The environmental art of the Final Case of the game is complete, as well as the character portraits. Exorcist Ada, whom you will be controlling, is under your care. We have also updated the tech to allow for localization for different tongues, though if this will help you with the lying suspects is another question.
We grow ever closer to the game's completion, which will allow you to finally solve the murders and exorcise the daemons that plague our world. Your colleague, Inqusitor Vergil, is excited to have you working with him.
That concludes this month's declaration from the Church of Ein Soph. May you stay safe until our next correspondence...
If you are in need of aid, we may connect in the digital sphere of Discord or Twitter. Praise,
Inquisitor Victoria and the Church of Kitfox
Theory Crafting & A Demo At PAX East ☠️
Hello, exorcists.
We begin the new decade deep in our technologies - are we possessed by daemons to complete our tasks? We cannot say. Perhaps an exorcist will be knocking on our doors soon...
Much of the game's story arc has been completed, and the cases are all undergoing a polish round. Soon you will discover the mysteries of Ein Soph... unless, of course, you fall under possession yourself. Luckily, the technology has been updated in order to allow you to save and load cases across the game, with large improvements to the user interface so that there is more of a focus on the mystery solving. Along with new animations and 3D production on the final case, the Church's completion draws ever closer... Of course, we have also done the ritual exorcism to rid of as many bugs as possible.
This is a very work-in-progress example of the means in which your accusations will be articulated, after a suspect questions you about your accusation.
Practice your skills, exorcist. We do not want any false truths...
If you are curious as to how the game looks, you may find that we presented this game at a local event called DemoNight. (Which looks suspiciously like "Demon"... uh, "ight".) You may view the recording here, on the digital sphere of Twitch.
If this has assured your confidence in The Church, you will be able to play the first ever public demo of the game at PAX East 2020. Please make sure you come by to solve the murders... or else, who will?
If not, we shall connect in the digital sphere of Discord or Twitter. Or if you prefer electronic correspondence, via newsletter.
Praise, Inquisitor Victoria and the Church of Kitfox
