I'm the great hacker Basilio Tastiera, so let's get started! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43124317/191a9a83df864f96217f9a1690e23a31821d28a0.png[/img] As I don't know how far my signal can go, I'll explain briefly what this reality consists of: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2067310/Neon_Blood/]Neon Blood[/url] is a RPG mixed with graphic adventure, that combines Cyberpunk and Noir aesthetics to put the user in the skin of Axel McCoin, my teammate, and help him in his revolution against social inequalities. The division of the cities is only growing, promoted by the snooty corpo of Bright City, such as the loathsome Ruby Emerald, who make life miserable for us, the good people of Blind City. Many of you may have already seen an earlier version of the world, or even the appearance of my teammates, but the creator nexus has been constantly updating and improving us to the current point. This progress is given by a change in the team, in this case, the "condename= pixel_artist". While it's true that I like to look pixelated - I look like I'm going to the gym - I used to have a more cartoonish, childish style that didn't represent either the harshness of Blind City or the atmosphere of Viridis, or even my greatness!

Since he joined, I notice my surroundings are much more fluid and organic, as if there were more frames that produce a much less mechanical movement. Also, since it's been around, I feel thinner and with better colour, as if a heavy contour line has been removed and my hues have been desaturated down to the normal range. Overall, I've lost cartoon factor, but I've gained seriousness factor, which being this tough in the city, makes me look better than ever. Look, here are some pictures I took before and after the patch: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43124317/6c348805aecf080511859fd52aa6ce8d4b84562e.png[/img] Looks like he's finally walking properly and with a jacket to match.

I'll just say my jacket is cooler.

[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43124317/e2da5b94c6e1d12a9becae439326aff0cbaa40d8.gif[/img] Dear user, not only the inhabitants and everything about 2D art has changed, the whole world is changing! From the market, to Hunter Heaven, even Bright City... But we'd better leave that for another day, I feel like they're even changing the story with so much talk. See you in the next Devlog!
