RHETUS PERIANDER BUTTERFLY

crunch crunch!!!!!

munch munch!!!!!! tastes of blue!!!!!!!!!!!

milgram prisoners "fur"sona hcs

haruka - rhetus periander butterfly! i think his dislike of animals would lead to him not really being comfortable with having a mammal, so i gave him an insect 1. because of muu 2. i think the colours match him 3. the butterflies in all knowing and all agony. 4. theyre found around forests and water :) (TO BE READ EVILLY)

yuno - rabbit, mantis, or lamprey! for rabbit it's because people tend to see them as just cute pets but theyre actually quite mean at times and a lot of effort has to be put into genuinely taking care of them. also the reproductive cycle theyre known for whatever. praying mantises yeah its the "eating their mates" thing, also because of her covering "sticky bug"! she also just generally reminds me of a mantis for some reason. lampreys because of "the vampire" and because draining blood, draining warmth etc. they also slightly resemble umbilical cords! fuuta - fire breathing dragon. its bright red. self explainable (salamander, fire...) but also because of his knight motifs! ive also considered a wolf for him bc i think it'd be funny if both kotoko and fuuta had wolves but i think him being a scalie fits more muu - wasp. she thinks its a bee that she's designed. she is wrong. wasp because of "its not my fault", the fact wasp species can be "social" or "solitary", and the fact wasps kill bees. i can also see the argument for just a bee though! especially since once bees sting you they die afterwards shidou - a bird of paradise :). double meaning with the fact it shares the name with a flower. also because i think being one of those rly fancy birds is just like him. "birds of paradise" also has origins in "birds of God". like "aesculapius"! and amane! some birds of paradise also drink nectar from flowers. i hope he flies into a window (ive also considered vulture, crow, raven, and dove (just because of 0507- shidou sees kazui tear a dove apart with his teeth and goes "god i wish that was me", changing his avian instantly)) mahiru - capybara!! friends with everyone even crocodiles. just having fun. classified as rodents (if i was mahiru's boyfriend i would have just eaten the rat rip to him but im different). those images of capybaras with citrus fruits on their head. also she just reminds me of a capybara generally kazui - cat! i dont think i have to explain anything for cat. he would have a nebelung cat specifically though. also hey did you know cats hunt birds- amane - cat as well. sorry. i actually dont really know what breed of cat amane's fursona would be- maybe abyssinian? some sort of tabby? mikoto - has two or three fursonas depending on if you're into the trikoto theory. theyre all very bright neon colours. mikoto has a greyhound, john has a jackal, "green" has an ibizan. all three of these canines are thought to be the inspiration behind anubis, egyptian god of taking care of the dead and acting as a protector for them. anubis is also described as a "gate guardian"! hey. hey wait a fucking secon- (i also just think itd be rly funny for mikoto to be able to merge fursonas with john + "green" and make cerberus) kotoko - i dont think you need my input for this one. go watch deep cover and skip to the end idk. i DO associate her with the hyper realistic 4k hd most beautiful art youve ever seen werewolf images specifically though. i like to think she'd be like "my wolf fursonas colours and design have to be REALISTIC. not like MIKOTO'S or FUUTA'S" and then she turns around and gives it red eyes and her exact hairstyle

https://pastaspace.itch.io/underspace/devlog/472967/underspace-demo-21-changelog

Welcome to the new year Starchasers! Hopefully your holidays have been filled with lego trains and fat cats. We've got a new demo out, featuring lots of features related to the underbelly of Underspace. If you're up for chasing storms or down for smuggling smut, we've got you covered. 

Head out into the Rhetus to find a few new opportunities waiting for you...

KNOWN ISSUES

Interior models for ships, stations, and planets, are currently untextured or unimplemented.

Voice acting is currently unimplemented.

Painting maps for ships may be missing.

Joystick and controller support vestigial and more or less not implemented and having a controller plugged in can introduce weirdness.

In-game manual currently lacks most features.

Ambient stormtrackers might sometimes fly through Agganite Station. Again. How lovely.

A lot of elements such as the mission system, music system, and options menu have been refactored. There may be bugs here.

NEW CONTENT & FEATURES

Total overhaul of the game’s music and radio system. You can now implement custom music to play in various situations.

Overhaul of the game’s options menu to read better and work better.

Storms are more aggressive and have their minibosses finally implemented. Storms in the demo in particular move and surge much faster, so you’ll be able to finally experience these things in full.

Starchasers, your fellow adventurer-stormchasers, can all now be found in storms. They’ll follow you around and help you fight strom bosses, provided you can find them.

Large ships such as battleships and bosses now have proper loadouts. Beware their missile turrets and beam cannons!

Total overhaul of the game’s mission system. Right now you won’t see too much difference, but this allows for branching

Added smuggling circles to systems. You can take special criminal and smuggling missions here, as well as talk to the bartender to get your reputation adjusted…

CHANGES & BUGFIXES

Fixed an infinite exp exploit, don’t think I didn’t see you.

Fixed issues where some minibosses wouldn’t die.

Fixed issues relating to storms and followers therein.

Adjusted effects in storms to be larger, more animated, and generally have more clarity but also more oomph.

Rebalanced some lower level weapons to work better.

Fixed issue where ship engine sounds were not tied to the ship engine volume control.

Fixed issues where the lead pip was still a little inaccurate.
