That's because it is..? I posted a screenshot of the 3D model in a weekly update a few pages ago. It's still a sprite, but it was animated in 3D. Because of the way the enemy is designed (not a lot of movable parts, so rotating his body is how we give him expressiveness), we decided it would be easier to 3D model it, so we did. Orexius animated it in 3D, then took the renders and traced over them with pixel art. Once we're confident the animations are good and done, he'll do the final detail work, and it will look just like the rest of the game's art.

Ah, found it. Didn't follow all the weekly updates lately. It just looked out of place to all the previous enemies.
Was it faster to produce since it is a 3d model?
yeah, i didn't mean more content, just like mouse support.
thanks for answering though!

No, we won't be adding monster girls to the game. Imo, monstergirls are a very "high fantasy" thing, not sci-fi fantasy, they don't really fit within the world of CPE. Alraune are an exception given the Deep Soil's focus on plantlife, but we won't be adding any others.
Dramatically faster to produce, yes. It made the animation process MUCH easier, given the size of the golem compared to other enemies, and as I mentioned before, the lack of moving parts - rotation and angles are the only way we can express movement with the golem, and a 3D model is perfect for doing that while keeping the enemy's proportions consistent. There's plenty of reasons why it might look out of place right now, but the main one is just that it's not fully detailed. It will fit the game just fine once the art is actually done and not flat colors like it is right now.
Gotcha. I guess I'm just too used to people asking for more free content, sorry
Stuff like menu mouse support will come when we update the demo near the final release, yeah.How long will it take for 0.43 to become public? I can't really progress forward due to the Dash conflicting with the melee button.
Nevermind, I just assigned the action to RT.

Nice thinnly veiled attempt for asking for 0.43, but I sincerely doubt that it's going to happen.
basically, chances are really low as the dev said many times that there will be no more public version until the game is close to the end of his development. So best thing you can hope for is someone uploading the latest patreon version here.

Hey, sorry, I wasn't trying to offend you, the older parts of the thread have people giving assumptions and random info so I wanted to doublecheck from the source for clarity.

As everyone else said, v0.43 will not become public. We don't do free releases of previous versions for Crisis Point anymore, haven't for years because our public demo has ~2 hours worth of content, which is more than enough to know if you want to get the full version or not. I understand Patreon isn't everyone's cup of tea and that's fine, so if you don't like using it, then you can buy the final version once it's out - but our Patreon demos will not be going public.
I'm sorry too for being rather rude/short in my reply, I do understand your desire to get a definitive answer. It's just, the question is a pretty common one in here, and it can be kinda exhausting at this point if that makes sense. The content CPE used to have is something I'm trying very hard to distance myself from, and every time it's brought up is a reminder that I'm probably never going to stop getting comments about it, lol. Anyway, no hard feelings?

I was curious about the updated standalone galleries so I decided to pledge in order to check them out
Wanted to ask about something, it seems the older galleries (namely v.02 to v.04) had the animations run continuously after climax. Meaning it would just repeat in almost seamless loop fashion.
There was also a few enemies that triggered the climax animations rapidly if you've hit space/ctrl after the initial climax, those were the alarune lady, the lurker, and I think the warped sentry? While it might have been just a bug, I certainly do miss this with the updated animation/textures for the newer gallery.
Any hope of reverting to that system for the later galleries / end product? It's much nicer than having to press the button to re-enter the animation with nothing saving.

I suppose I will just have to wait. I really only asked the question because I read that that problem was fixed in 0.43.

Thank you for the feedback! The repeated climaxes were a bug, and will not be returning. As for looping the H-scenes, the issue with it is that many of our newer animations end in a different pose than they begin, so the loop will not be seamless at all. That being said, I'll consider making the H-scenes loop in the gallery again if it's something people want.
If you already have a save, v0.43 wouldn't have fixed the issue for you anyway. The issue was just the default control scheme; not only does changing your controls fix it completely, but the default controls being changed won't affect any existing save files, since I'm not about to forcefully modify the controls of existing saves.
We haven't announced a release date at the moment, and I don't plan on announcing one until the game is very near completion. Once I finally announce a date I want it to be one we're completely confident in reaching, so there aren't any delays

I'm sorry, I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. Are you just asking if there will be more recolors for the Alraune and Sentry? I'm not really sure, the recolors are more or less added when the original enemy becomes too weak for Alicia's current moveset and no longer pose a threat. They're not something I plan for, it's more of a feeling.

)Hey everyone. I won't beat around the bush, this week was a struggle for me again - I managed to get the Gallery update out, which I'm happy about, and I did some writing work as well, both for an upcoming CG and story scenes, but things were pretty slow on my end.
I'm still waiting on the doctor to get back to me about scheduling an appointment, but hopefully once that's done it won't be too long before I can get some help in dealing with some of my depression, ADD, and anxiety. I don't think I've ever specified what kind of mental issues I'm dealing with (even though some of it is probably obvious if you've been following me for a while), and I'm not sure why that is; there's not really any value in being private or secretive about it, and I guess Mental Health Awareness month is as good a time as any to talk about it. I'm not sure why my depression is flaring up so heavily right now, nothing is going wrong in my life at the moment - if anything, we're doing great now that Puffernutter's health issues have been clearing up.. but I suppose that's the nature of depression, isn't it? It doesn't always make sense; if it did, it might be easier to deal with. Anyway, I won't talk your ear off about it - it's not an excuse for not getting more work done, and I'm sorry for that. Thankfully, the rest of our team is helping to pick up the slack while I try to figure out how to work with my own brain.
I mentioned Orexius was working on some NSFW stuff last week, and one of those animations is the new Edovex BE scene!
There's still a little bit of work to be done here (like giving Alicia her regular clothes), but enjoy the preview! We're doing something special with the animation that I'm excited for you all to see, too; you won't know what it is just from the loop, though, so you'll have to wait and find out.
Puffernutter also had some time to work on tilesets this week; we posted a scene from this new area a while ago, and things might not look TOO different, but last time the scene was cobbled together from non-tile images that weren't actually possible to make levels with.
Now, this scene is made up of actual tiles prepped for use ingame, and there's been a lot of extra detail and polish too, so it's looking much nicer overall and I can start putting together rooms with it. Everything is still WIP, and the background still needs work, of course, but that'll come in due time. Oh, and ignore the fact that there's 2 Alicia's, Puffernutter just uses her sprite for scale reference when zoomed in
Anyway, that's about all I have this week. Sorry again for the mediocre weekly update; I'm really hoping next week's will be different, and I'm going to set myself some distinct work goals to try and make sure it happens. I can't thank you all enough for sticking with me even when this stuff happens; I hate letting you all down, but the stability you guys give us even in the tougher times means more than I can describe. So, thank you all so much, and I'll see you back here next week with a much better update.

Depression is no joke and everyone who experiences it does so in a different way. I am happy to hear that you are taking care of yourself first and foremost. There are plenty of us rabid fans waiting for more content, but the most important thing is taking care of yourself! Please don't ever let work get in the way of mental health, sometimes it's easy to try and avoid what's going on with us with work and staying 'busy', but there are times where we could come to regret that. I know it doesn't mean much coming from a total stranger on the internet, but I am proud of you for seeing an issue and dealing with it rather than ignoring it.
With that being said, it's time for some praise. One of my favorite things about this game is the subtle details, with Alicia her clothes are always somewhere but displaced during her scenes, which is a minor detail but something that I definitely noticed. The first thing I noticed about the new animation was "Where is her clothes!?". You've spoiled us and I continue to look forward to every update this game receives.
Keep up the good work!

First of all, thank you so much for the kind words. You may think they don't mean much coming from a stranger, but that's not really true - the people I'm close to are obviously going to care, because they've known me for years, but someone I've never met actually genuinely caring enough to take the time out of their day to be kind and encouraging, ends up (perhaps counterintuitively) kinda meaning more, in a way. So, to make a short story long, thank you, sincerely - it means more than you think <3
And for the comment on Alicia's clothing - I've actually had the thought a few times, "why am I putting the effort in to make sure Alicia's clothes are always visible in some way, nobody but me notices or cares". This one comment, knowing that even one person aside from me cares, has just erased that thought from my mind forever - so thank you for making the effort worth it!
