Patreon devlog update 150: update before christmas (Patreon)

hey hey people, last update of the year! it's not particularly meaty since i'm kinda running on fumes and me and monstrousrick are still deciding what to do with the final level, but i thought i'd share what i managed to complete these past days nonetheless-

so, first of all we needed an estabilishing shot of where the boys are ending this adventure , the demon reeducation center led by zeke. Again, the keyword is brutalism with added halos since heaven architecture has had them throughout the game. It floats between hell and earth, with its bottom opening being the means with wich zeke projects himself towards the places he needs to be. The pillars are security devices against intruders..

as you can see in the animated background for the game- but what's going on? why the place seems like a battlefield

well, that gets explained in the intro scene for the final chapter, wich i started to sketch today:

so yeah , piercer has found out where zap and andy are and is going full doomslayer on the place trying to rat them out. I always loved the idea that this random gay trucker is so fucking mad that neither hell or heaven can stop him from busting the boys' asses.

This is ideal for the boys since it provides them a perfect distraction for zeke to focus on, so they can start escaping and finally head back to earth.

another thing i needed to design was Dab and Farfy (the villains of chapter 2 and 3 respectively) brainwashed into standard demons (tm) . Zap and andy will have to both avoid them since they're loyal to zeke, and also try to rescue them with the help of their loved ones (sid and barbariccia who are waiting outside and are lending zap a hand)

now, aside from art, i want to ask your opinions on a couple of things-

our musician completed the song and sounds for zap and andy having sex for the first time (hopefully the link works?)

do you guys find the grunts and moans for the boys too much? would you prefer them to be silent with only the song and the incidental sound playing? let me know !

and...

me and rick have worked on a trailer for the steam page. What do you peeps think of it? does it help sell the game or should we rethink it?

alright. That's it for this year peeps! i'll make a separate announcement for me taking a couple weeks of break. I hope you all spend an amazing holiday surrounded by the people you love and get to relax and take your minds off things. Thank you ever so much for your amazing support over the years. I feel this year has been a bit rough for me, but i'll try and give you better stories and better art next year, without overworking myself on the ground. Dunno how i can manage to do that yet but fuck it, i'll try nonetheless!

love y'all!
