When the game starts, Lenna’s students are killed and she sets off to report this to the guards at the palace. Until now, the palace has only been mentioned in dialogue. Now it’s a real location.

Some weeks I take part in an event in the twitter and reddit game development communities known as ScreenshotSaturday. It’s an opportunity once a week to share screenshots with other developers and find out how your favorite projects are coming along.
If you’re curious what I’ve been working on for beta3, my submissions are below.
The healing tunic is one of many tunics I have planned. It gives you half a heart about once every 5 seconds.
The same effect system will be used for the randomized potions, and for boosting the abilities of certain enemies.
Each time you start a new game, the colors and materials of each tunic (and potion) will be randomized. You’ll never know what you’ve found or bought until you’ve put it on. You better hope it isn’t poisonous or made of gunpowder…
I’m hoping people will figure out neat ways to combine effects, e.g. donning an explosion tunic, quaffing a blast protection potion, and then walking into a group of enemies to blow them up unharmed.

Lenna’s Inception version 0.3 (beta2) is live. Get it from the usual place.
In order to find the new shopkeeper in a pre-existing save file, you’ll need to visit the starving artists’ house and talk to the NPC inside.

Quite a few videos of the beta showed up this week. I watched every one I came across. Besides being a lot of fun, it has helped to find bugs and rough edges in the game. You can bet that beta2 will be a much smoother experience thanks to these videos!
Anyway, I thought I’d do a quick round-up of some of the LPs and videos that appeared this week:
First up, and with a special place in my Archangel heart, is TRSCP, who has been playing since the alpha. If you want to watch an old hand at work, look no further…

I’m delighted to announce that Chucklefish, the wonderful team behind Starbound, are publishing Lenna’s Inception!
This new website you’re looking at is a product of theirs. We’ve also added Lenna’s Inception to the Chucklefish forums – which will be a fantastic place to share your leaderboard scores and speed-running tips (as well as for discussing everything else relating to the game). Aside from that, they’ve been providing tons of support and advice. I’m really excited to work with them!
This new website will be the primary way to keep up to date with the latest news about Lenna’s Inception, but I’m still planning to mirror posts on the Bytten Studio website (and on IndieDB as well, although less frequently).
As of today, Lenna’s Inception has officially reached beta status!
