Dance of Theseus' September Devlog is here! TLDR: All romanceable characters are here; We are writing a ton of friendship/romance scenes, and they will ALL have full-screen illustrations; demo file structure is kind of a mess but we are cleaning it up😘

Rumor has it that for your next ballroom, you will be gazing at the stars...

If you played the demo, then you've already seen some of the game's outfits! But did you know that's just the tip of the iceberg? While the demo contains "Flesh" and "Skeleton" fits, the full game has 4 more textures: "Mineral", "Liquid", "Fiber" and "Aether". Here's an upcoming Mineral outfit:

The "Bleeding Garnet" set from Dance of Theseus, depicting a woman made of red garnet stone minerals, in a dress shaped like a pomegranate, with a sword in her chest.

Descriptions for some pieces of the outfit:

Frozen Wound: She was talking to him over the dinner table, a one-sided conversation as usual, and she looked up at the brass mantle she had just polished that afternoon. Something in her eyes in the reflection caught the light, a cold edge she had never noticed before.

Perilous Hairpin: But when the sword came, when he sliced her right open only to find the sharp edge caught inside the blood-red stone, her only thought was, "Oh".

Fruitful Harvest: She pricked herself with the cooking knife, and the drop of blood fell onto the marble counter with a sharp "clink".

Crystalized Pain: It still hurt.

A sneak peek at a couple of the upcoming outfits in Dance of Theseus👀👀 #indiegame #art #dressup

Dragon's Braid: She lived in a sketch on a piece of paper, and then paint on a cave's walls, and then a museum, a digital scanner, the internet, and the people's memories.
Lotus Heart: Without its holes, a flute cannot sing; without its hollows, a lotus flower's roots cannot breathe; and without its wounds, no light can find its way into the sealed chambers of her heart.
Lingering Echoes: But when the discoverers looked around, a song began to play in the back of their minds: a melody so timeless, it never left the walls and ceilings of the cave.
Whispers of the Wind: Here's how you draw the invisible wind: by the bent of the willow, the tilt of the boat on still waters, and the fluttering of ribbons.

Pendant Jingles: A sculptor sees past a raw stone into what it could be: how to create something that makes the best use of the unique whims of nature, how to chisel away the blemishes and hollow out the bones.
Meticulously Crafted: What does it mean to be a national treasure when the wolves prowl? What does it mean to be standing at the zenith of an era if the era itself is crumbling?
Curved Stem: If only she could walk. If only she could run. If only she could put herself back together.

Q: What gets made first: the outfit's story or its art? A: Sometimes I look at a spreadsheet and tell Jenny "Hey we need something 'gold' and 'bone-y'", or request a specific theme; but most of the time she has free rein, and I write the descriptions/lore based on her final art!

Dance of Theseus demo has been out for a week! Tbh, we doubted ourselves a lot: "Are we the only ones who want a monster-themed dress-up game?" But y'all proved us wrong😉 So, thank you to everyone who played, joined the Discord, created fanart, and gave us feedback! #indiegamedev #steam

Lovely write-up 🥰What a treasure trove of lovely quotes: "No way is she going to be outclassed by a bunch of Grimm Fairytale rejects." "It's more like a Tim Burton movie with a touch of Pixar's quippiness." "Admittedly, most of the gifts so far are severed heads, but the thought is everything."

Answering some frequently asked questions for the #DanceofTheseus demo: Q: What happens if I lose the Dance-Off? A: In the demo, you get a chance for a rematch immediately, but in the full game, the rematch will happen at the end of next week, so you'll have time to prepare!
