Hey folks. 
Just dropping a quick line to say Brand Test Build 9′ll be out next weekend, introducing new Brand-related upgrades, new Brand modifiers, and Brands on corpse encounters. 
Cheers!

Coming Soon in Brand Test 9…
A sneak peek at a couple of new Relic Upgrades…
Brand Test Build 8 Is Up!
Brand Test Build 8 is up! This one fixes nearly every reported Brand Test Build bug so far, except a couple I had to put in the icebox due to not being able to repro them, or not being a good time investment at the moment.
The usual forum post has the links: http://forum.ferretdev.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=414
Assuming there are no new major issues introduced in this build, I’ll finally be moving on to adding the remaining Brand-related content next for Brand Test Build 9. Cheers, and good luck in the Tower!
Brand Test Build 8 this Sunday
Whew. My free time is finally… well, mine again.
I should be able to release Matter Test Build 8 this week, which will fix all current bugs (except any I decide to stuff in the post-release icebox, but that is rare.)
After that, I will immediately begin on #9, which will add the first batch of remaining Brand-related content.
Cheers, and good luck in the Tower!
Next Brand Test Build Soon
Hey folks. Apologies for the slower updates this month; April’s had a lot going on, but I should have more development time available after this week.
The bugs are starting to wind down nicely: most of the ones left / being reported recently are balance or polish issues, rather than critical or systemic, so I’ll be switching over to beginning to work on the remaining Brand-related content soon, including Brand-related Relic Upgrades, Brands spawning on corpse encounters, and new Brand modifiers.
Thank you everyone for your help with testing, and for your patience while life’s kept me a bit busier than usual.
Hopping Mad
Zyalin posted another awesome piece of Demon fan art for me to share. This one depicts Jiang Shi, a Chinese vampire known for using hopping as its main form of locomotion. :D The paper talisman attached to its face is a component of the ritual that creates the Jiang Shi.
Thanks Zyalin!
Death From Above
Zyalin recently created another piece of great artwork based off of Demon. This one depicts a Flying Head, a demon that harnesses storms to attack its enemies.

Thanks again Zyalin!
Brand Test Build 7 Is Up
Had to fix a freeze issue Zyalin found in Brand Test Build 6. Thanks for the help Zyalin!
Brand Test Build 6 Is Up
Brand Test Build 6 is posted, with lots of new bug fixes and balance tweaks.
The link to the builds is, as always, in the main forum post about the test builds: http://forum.ferretdev.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=414
Enjoy, thanks for all the testing help, and good luck in the Tower!
Sometimes, You Eat The Jello, And Sometimes, It Eats You
Here’s another awesome piece of fan art by Zyalin, this one of one of the Tower’s Slimes! They don’t seem much like a mere Level 1 demon portrayed like this, do they? Thanks Zyalin!
