Lighthog & Darkhog had their moment, let's focus on the revamped design of our gal, Eclipse!
(You can actually tell that she's a female character now!)
(+ a little storytime)


Eclipse, introduced in Cube's Dark Hours 2, is a character that is a neutral mix of Lighthog's and Darkhog's design and personalities (to put it simply, she is the middle-ground of Lighthog and Darkhog).
However, her design always bothered me: this character was always meant to be a female character, the problem is that I didn't do a good job on showing it.

Before the release of CDH2's "Prizes Update" (and before the reveal of Fizzlepop), I had absolutely no idea on how I could draw female characters. That all changed with the "Prizes Update", where I drew Fizzlepop for the first time:

This random character design that popped into my head really resonated with me. Something about Fizzlepop's design, altough simple, was very interesting...

I started drawing Fizzlepop more and more, experimenting with her design idea, leading to this other image, and her design in CDH: The Pricklz (only to get decomissioned):

I'll stop talking about Fizzlepop.
With the redesigns of Lighthog and Darkhog, and the post-release of CDH: The Pricklz, I got inspired to redesign Eclipse as well!

And today, October 30th 2024, is where we end off with the hogs' redesigns. I will experiment more and more with this new design of Eclipse, but so far I'm really happy with her new design!

I hope you guys enjoy this new redesign of Eclipse!
As always, have a good day! If not, then good afternoon, good evening and good night!

* CDH4 plans to have VA castings (maybe).

GameJolt was down for a whole day, here's my "apology" post for not being able to share anything

After CDH4, I should consider getting beta testers for future games.

Anywho, here's some scrapped assets for the flashlight, and the whole flashlight mechanic itself.

2026.

The Shadow is now my most and least favorite character in the series.

You'll figure it out eventually.

That rainy night

The Extras Menu, or at least the way it's accessed, is being changed in CDH4.

In other words, there will be a sub-menu to also access other stuff.
