Huge thanks to everyone who has played the Opening Act demo so far! Because of your support, we are able to make Mission 02 a reality. Here's a little look at Klo's arrival at the Opera House.

I think too much of it is accurate. It's gonna be a treat for anyone who knows most of the publicly accessible areas.

Working on a new section of the S3PF Command. Everyone likes those Ratchet & Clank style 'leaving a location' cutscenes right?

Not intentionally, because I have not personally played it. But I'm sure some mutual influences are creating that vibe! Feel like it just means we're doing something right.

Other Australian Indie Devs, this is not a challenge... We are slowly chipping away at it and the game is gonna take awhile, just let us have this one!

Without doing any research, I think Samurai Unicorn might be the first game where you can walk around a mostly accurate Sydney Opera House.

When Klo defeats a Dream Eater, you can always count on Devin Solomon and GRS1 to be the first on the scene. Goliath are hungry for new specimens and Devin is a dedicated company man...

Finally swapping in the placeholder paintings with ones that @ridgelowis.bsky.social has been working on over the past couple of months makes the penthouse feel complete.
