[Game Update] - Intermission - Animated Short, Twitch Drops and More.

[JoeW]

Hey everybody.

It's intermission time again; A time to sit back and reflect on adventures past and dream of adventures yet to come. 

We're glad you all enjoyed our last animated short "Projector". These shorts give players a peek behind the motivations of our survivors and who they are, not just where they came from or how they got here. Some may be backstories and some side stories, but today it's a little bit of both. 

Hide & Seek
Some things, once lost, are gone forever... but how will you know for sure unless you keep searching?

 

Login Bonus

The Catcoon Nap Sack Fur Roll skin is available as a limited time login bonus. Just log into the game to get yours!
 

Twitch Drops

The Rose Bushel Potted Fern skin is available by watching participating Ambassador streams on Twitch.tv. For more details, check out the post here. 
 

New Vignettes

A selection of Vignettes has been added to the game as well. Keep up those vignette suggestions when you see them and we'll keep adding them. 

And that's it!
There are no Klei Points today. Instead, for Intermissions we're going to be giving you spool. So - pick out something nice for yourself, it's on us. 

The team is currently working on a bunch of Cave content for you. We can't quite call this one a QOL - this is shadow related content that will introduce a bunch of new threats and rewards to the caves.  

We'll want to talk about that pretty soon, so in a few weeks, we'll have some more information for you. Maybe in a post, maybe a stream, maybe a beta? Who knows what we'll do?! Well, we do. But we'll tell you later. 

Have fun out there!

Oooooooo!! I’ll be very curious to see what you have in mind for new content down there. It’s certainly an area that’s needed it for awhile!

Finally, a cave-focused update. I will be more happy if we can see a fix to Wilson's skill tree, but I will take this one first. Thanks a bunch.

[ChintzyGnat]

Catcoon nooo D;

[Pe Dabliu]

That's awesome, but low-key I thought we were getting a few changes/touch ups to Winona and her skilltree. Still, intermission time, let's goooo

Yes! Shadow side is finally getting some love. I hope It'll be good as the Host of Horrors update.

What a lovely animation!

Thank you so much Klei. The potted fern skin is amazing!

Can't wait to see what comes next for the caves!

 

JoeW, one more thing. Is it possible to ask for more turf skins? 

hehe ♥

[BezKa]

The short was adorable!!!

[NPCMaxwell]

OK I think Charlie sacrificing that innocent catcoon was actually helpful for me to assign her at least some villain qualities.

On a more serious note: I hope future videos will go into this direction too giving more insight into the current life of the characters but also more of those shown memories and what is going on inside characters minds. Also I hope this occasional "voiceacting" (Wendy here) will be a regular part of the videos. I adore to hear the characters so much, even when it is just for small special scenes

Yay.

 

Is it post riff only, or both? I like the atmosohere of the caves and how out of the comfort zone it is so i am excited.

[Frosty_Mentos]

After so many years finally caves are getting something in them too - been so long that I've gotta start dusting every rock I see down there to prepare for the beta.

[Primalflower]

Best animation ever

[DaZoul]

Coulda just crafted a new flower but whatever

[FourthLess]

Very excited for the update, both caves and shadow side having more stuff is great !

[cobrac]

This is a surprise. Can't wait to see these "new" threats and rewards to the caves. I hope this could one day solve Wurt's merms to finally follow you in caves just like Wormwood rather than crafting an additional Merm house underground. But only one can dream....

[dois raios]

Lets gooooo.

Thx for the intermission. Very excited for new content in caves.

[William Afton]

Thank you guys so much for the Nightmare Werepig vignette! So excited for the upcoming update!

[Hupo]

Thank you for so many years update.

[wormwood123]

thank you klei we say in unison

[AleksyPL]

I wonder if Klei will add new setpiece like in Mermio&Piglet

[JeMiChi]

I was literally just speaking of the flowers with someone and then Klei joins the conversation with THIS! What a timing! Thank you so much for keeping us updated and for the lovely animation!

[Mike23Ua]

Not sure if you guys read the FULL patch notes for this update yet or not but…

Ancient Boats are now Monkey Pirate Raid safe.

That Wendy and Abigail interaction at the beginning&the end of the short was so neat.

It's easy to look at the gameplay and think of Abigail as just a stoic and apathetic ghost, moved only by desire to protect her sister, but from the short it's clear that she still is very much human at her core, capable of feeling emotions and even holding grudges: she shows some anger and a bit of child-like pettiness at the start, then expresses joy when she reunites with her sister.

Even though Abigail can't express her thoughts and feelings through words, she still is Wendy's sister, ghost or not. (Honestly would be so cool to see more small interactions between the two in the game, like how she dances along, when you're using the dance emote).
