In Fred's department, there's more final dungeon stuff, including a spring version of the hydra and the summoning animation for that platinum level Frosty Friend: 




 Meanwhile, Fred has been working on a cool platinum level Frosty Friend that will be summoned by someone really powerful in the upcoming final boss fight! First up we have a bunch of sketches, and at the bottom, the final version we picked: 




 Meanwhile, Fred's been starting work on the first boss in the boss rush we were talking about: the shadow slime! Here's some tests and an animation of one of its attacks:



 Meanwhile, in Fred's department we're starting to prepare for the next big boss fight, this time in Story Mode. I'm sure you can guess who you're gonna face off against... :) 



 Of course, Fred has been busy as well, making animations and other new stuff for the update, such as this ice cream eating animation and a couple fancy wings you can get yourself in Arcade mode by trading in your essence:



 Meanwhile in Fred's department, it's all about hands! Grindea's hands, to be precise! Have a look: 





Meanwhile in Fred's department, he's been working on a pretty epic animation featuring giant Grindea opening her eyes! Let's take a look: 


 In Grindea's -- I mean Fred's department, more Grindea animations are being made, of course! With this being possibly the most epic boss in the entire game, there will of course be a ton of animations to go with it: 





 Meanwhile in Fred's department, it's all about Grindea, as has been for a while now! Let's have a look at the most recent animations:




Now it's time for us to have a little bit of an autumn/Halloween break, so the blog will be back again after a week, on November 8th! See you then :D


 Meanwhile, Fred continues work on Grindea and her attacks, including a mysterious space rift: 




 Meanwhile, Fred continues his work on Grindea! Let's take a look at this epic dash: 


And here's a few more of Fred's animations for this boss! A lot of Grindea stuff right now, but it's also one of the most important battles of the game, so it makes sense :) 





 Meanwhile in Fred's department, it's still all about Grindea! Check this out: 




Meanwhile in Fred's animation department, we have more grindea animations, a strange portal, and another fish! Enjoy :D

 




 Meanwhile in Fred's department, we have some more sneak peeks of what to come: more grindea fighting and some desert fishes for the aquarium!




 Meanwhile, in Fred & Teddy's corner, Fred's been continuing on with Grindea animations! Here's another sneak peek of that, featuring a running animation:



Teddy has also been hard at work, and besides more Arcade Mode stuff, he's been spending some time optimizing the loading times of the game! Take a look at this before and after:




With these optimizations, we hope a lot of loading times will be removed, giving you a much more smooth experience while playing the game :) 


 In Fred's (and Teddy's) department, we're playing around with some light effects for that Grindea sprite! Below you can see some tests, as well as a palette swap - it won't be used the way it looks there, but it shows how we pretty easily can swap her colours around if we need to during the fight, for effect purposes :) 







 Meanwhile, Fred has been doing some more work on Grindea! Here's some of his WIP sketches: 




...And Teddy's been adding my personal favourite feature in a long time! Lizards in your house!! How cute isn't this?



 Meanwhile in Freds' department, work on Grindea is in full swing! Take a look at these sketches: 





Meanwhile, Fred's been working on some fun stuff, including a little cloud that will water those growing plats for you, and Grindeas idle animation! How cool is that?
