Update 5 changes & info

Demons Within Update 5 out on Patreon!

Another two months, another update!

This time we have Edwin's day! As usual, not everything goes as planned, and while this update IS as large as pretty much every other update, we weren't able to cover the entirety of Edwin's day in it! The new characters got a lot of interactions and, in the end, I decided to split the update to be able to release it in a timely fashion. This update covers the first part of Edwin's day, which should be about... I'd say some 60-70% of the events, and the last few will come in a new update that I intend to call Update 5.5! This second update should come faster than usual, as I *hope* it'll have a little less content... but it should be no less exciting nonetheless!

This update, though, still brings a lot of exciting new things! Demons Within's first CG comes with it and it set the ground for a lot of things. Blain and I did a lot of testing as we worked on it and we learned a lot, so expect more CGs in the future that will be just as awesome if not more!

Update 5 Changelog

• Around 16k words of new content covering spending the Spare Day with Edwin and meeting two new Order soldiers
  • The new content of Edwin's day can be accessed by nudging Resnick to go with Edwin during the baths

• Demons Within's first CG is out! The events of the mercenary ambush and Resnick's trump card when fighting back have been enhanced with a brand-new CG animation

• New expressions, and new assets added to some existing sprites

• New memory unlockables added to the Memorium. Most of them in the new content, but one of them during Ludwig's day as well

• Added a new scene that plays when the player doesn't nudge Resnick to go with neither Edwin nor Ludwig. If the player doesn't make a choice, they will convince Resnick to go with one of them by themselves based on previous choices that have been made
  • *Note that people that might have had saves that were in the exact changed scenes that happened when you chose neither might experience weird behavior when loading them!

• When looking at the book on Ludwig's day, a new icon has been added on top of the pages that opens a new window that makes it easier to read the book's text for those that want to read it
• Fixed a bug where Resnick's Bedroom memory wasn't unlocking in the Memorium even when the player had already seen it before in-game

This is it! A bunch of stuff, as usual, and there's still so much more I want to do!

I know some people were hoping that there'd be a third Spare Day that might feature Sam and/or Garret more. That will, unfortunately, not be the case, but they will get their time to shine soon enough! After Update 5 (and Update 5.5), we'll move on with the timeline on Update 6 which will also bring grand new things that I know a lot of people are really wanting!

As always, though, huge thanks to everyone that's played Demons Within and is enjoying it! I love you all!

Thank you!
