30/11/25 - Devlog & Testbuild!
🕑 Added 2025-11-30 20:18:55 +0000 UTCHey everyone, it’s me, Tib! I’ll jump right into what’s included in this build!
Since we have a bit of new content in this one, we only released this for all of you lovely supporters! Thank you once again!
Now, in terms of content, we only have one “bigger” change this time. It’s a QUEST, one you can pick up at the Coffee shop! Check it out, I won’t spoil much, but it ends with a nice animation!
Aside from that, I focused a lot on getting an automated system up and running that allows me to export the game to all 3 major platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac), and I’m finally there!
Let’s start with Windows. Not a lot changed here, but it’s easier for me to build the game out as a release build so that should speed things up slightly!
Now onto Linux! Just like before we will release the binaries, but I’ve seen a few people ask for an AppImage, so I spent a few hours learning about them, and I’m happy to say that now we’ll ALSO release Predation as an AppImage! So, for the penguin (or Xenia) folk, both the binaries AND the AppImage will be an option from now on!
And finally, MacOS! I’m happy to announce that we now have a Mac Developer account! This means that Predation is now Notarized on Apple, so you no longer have to do a hacky workaround to get the game to work without Gatekeep screaming at you that it’s probably a virus, since it’s not checked by Apple themselves!
I’ll be monitoring the feedback as closely as I can and collect all the bug and issue reports everyone sends in, and as always, the public build will go live for everyone else in 2 weeks!
You can find the downloads on this website for now:

That’s all from me for now, thank you!

Sammy, here! I'm really happy that we can bring you this update! A good few things have been added since last time, and I'm REALLY excited for you to get a good look at them all! I can't even begin to thank you enough for your patience.
I've been asked to flex my writing fingers again, this time in a fully official sense! It's been an absolute blast to see my writing actually show up in the game, and it's inspired me to do a lot more! Sephra is great with the artwork, and I can't even begin to imagine the work Tib puts into coding, but what I do best is writing scenes, and now I have the chance to really let that shine! I hope you all enjoy the additions I'll be bringing to our scenes!
---Just a little PS from Sephra, Hope you guys enjoy the new build, Tib's been working hard on the mechanics for it that's for sure; I'm going around fixing the various things i always notice when running through the level again, some of Goldie's animations this time etc. and the flying kick is off-centre, not to point out all these things no one probably noticed before but there you go xD
Aside from that I've been fairly obsessed with this other thing I've been alluding to for a while now, it's a simpler affair than Predation and with a different protagonist (currently) but I hope he'll be of interest to few! My plan is I get in all the broad mechanics of the experience so I can put a demo out to show you, and then just build content off those existing things; to that effect I'd say I'm well on the way, just as usual I've complicated matters for myself by giving him so many clothing slots! Luckily outfits are something I enjoy drawing greatly and it's gonna be worth it but adding one piece of clothing means adding all the associated frames it'll be on etc.
ANYWAY I said this'd be short, go enjoy the quest progress and a full narration added to the coffee shop scene too, something we hope you'll enjoy, it's something we can add to other stuff in the future too~
