With the complexity of the layering and effects added to make the final backgrounds, it is quite likely that the skies of Pearl-On-Foam are not red. They could be, though. Maybe Smith only gets out of bed at sunset or something.

This is the background for the bar and the bedroom:

Maybe they're going to do special sky effects with the red? Similar to the masking technique with  their animated shorts.

I just think it's a temp background tbh:

oh my god, the tei mission got updated and the DIALOGUE. I'M CACKLING, IT'S AMAZING

I'm soooo tempted to just dump it all here but I'd bloat the thread so I'm just gonna share the choice pieces:

Spoiler

After getting the first recruit Smith finds the second drinking their life away at Moreef's:

            player:
                What's the deal with {recruit2}?
            agent:
                {recruit2.HeShe} showed up just after you left on your mysterious mission.
                Been drinking ever since.
            player:
                How does a lowly luminitiate afford that?
            agent:
                The Cult has an open tab.
                !sigh
                And by open tab, I mean... I have to let them drink as much as they want if I don't want to find myself on the wrong end of a Zealot's inquisition.

Smith can fight or threaten the recruit to force them to come along – or, get this:

Challenge them to a drinking game

                player:
                    You're a fan of liquid refeshment, eh?
                agent:
                    I get thirsty! Who doesn't?
                player:
                    Oh, me too, friend. I've been known to get powerfully thirsty.
                agent:
                    A fellow traveller! 
                player:
                    Yeah. So I'll tell you what...
                    If you can outdrink me, {moreef} here will give you 200 shills.
                moreef:
                    !right
                    Huh?
                agent:
                    !right
                    And if I can't?
                player:
                    And if you can't, you have to come with me and do your duty at the beach.
                    Deal?
                agent:
                    ...
                    Deal!

Smith has to drink three times before the recruit literally falls over. You can choose to bail in-between but where's the fun in that lol

Now here's the dialogue that happens when Smith wins because Moreef speaks some truth:

                moreef:
                    !right
                    You're a madman.
                player:
                    I told ya I was good for it! 
                    Now we gotta go fight some fishies!
                moreef:
                    !sigh
                    Just come back in one piece.

The earliest files I have are from when the game was first released on Steam—I just checked those and it looks like Masochist's icon was already set in stone by then. So unless someone happens to have the tex files from back then backed up you're probably out of luck, sorry

[Wumpus the 19th]

hold on, solution has been imagined.

luckily i have been stocking up on potato cups from the people who frequent the off-topic forum

(places potato cup on heshian altar)

(pours lumin wine into the cup)

Oh Great...wait, who do i ask?...Kevin i geuss...

Oh Great @Kevin, we make a humble request to you.

We, your loyal followers, simply ask we be given the original artwork from the Masochist card.

If you must deny our request, we shall accept that truth humbly and calmly, as what we ask may be too much for this world to accept yet.

So the plax editor is bugged and shows a different guy in Moreef's outfit when I spawn him:

But I did get a shot of him in the battle editor too, to be safe:

Thank you very much! This will work just fine.

Does anyone know what a "phicket" is? The day 2 assasins (Zyn and Hanbi) are classified like this while other characters are classified by jarackle, shroke,etc. I always just thought they were really mutated humans with masks that cover their faces, but aparently they are a species on their own. Why do we only see two of these "phickets" while we see plenty of all other 4 species? Are there any others in the game?

There are no other phickets in the game, and there are no codex entries related to them.

Phicket rights are everyone's rights!

Yeah, that's why I originally thought Lux was Moreef in Bar Brawl for a while. When a update fixed the face, I thought they outright changed his design. Glad to see I was mistaken.

okay I'm still filtering through last night's update so I'll be editing this post but GUYS

WE GOT TEMP SMITH SLIDES!!!! WE GOT LORE!!!!!!

Spoiler

"You were born to disappoint. When your wealthy parents tried to foot you with the bill of their ambitions, you left the check with your siblings and hit the road."

"Actions speak louder than words. So while you gambled and drank your way through every dive bar this side of the sea, your parents cleaned up after you, eager to keep the family name out of ledgers."

"Meanwhile, your siblings flourished. Theroux, the baby, grew out of diapers and into the merchant’s guild, keeping his skin oiled. 

Mullifee, your twin sister, sharpened her teeth at the Admiralty, swimming up the ranks like a sharp-toothed eel. 

And Vixmalli, the eldest, became a Heshian cardinal. Guess those family tithes paid off."

"So at least when your parents finally died, they had three other broodlings to be proud of. 

But when you came home to claim your inheritance, it turns out that your parents weren’t the only ones to feel resentful."

Edit: new defense cards' temp icons!

And card icons that got finalized:

honestly, given how buff smith is, i'd say if he just stopped bar-hopping like it was going out of style, he would make a fantastic...fighter in organized sport...i don't know what sport he'd be in...wrestling?

Theroux definitely looks like the kid...also his face just gives the vibe of being a paste-eater at the young age of 12.

Vixmalli is the guy on the title screen, although i honestly thought it was tei.

 

[ResettePlayer]

oh mah gaaaahd Smith's father has a monocle that's as disappointed as he is

Also this is a mood and a half

If that's what they looked like as teenagers, makes me wonder what kra'deshi's looks like as children...
