Good Morning! Merry Christmas!
Wait, I’m sorry.

That's right, it's Devmas, because we devs have a bunch of presents for you - 12 to be exact. Welcome to the Twelve Days of Devmas, day one. We got your first present under the tree right here....
......
Well, uh...[i]shame[/i] about the hole in the side. I guess whatever was in it just broke out. Ummm...why don’t you go look for it while I get the carolers worked up?
All right all you devs, here we go. A one and a two and a-

On the first day of Devmas,
your dev team gives to thee…
A mind-control beard in a tree

That’s right - remember when we promised you one of those? We’re going to show off some of the work we’ve done by showing off the special items we promised you guys during the Kickstarter. We’ve even added a few, thanks to a few new Devs joining us.
Keep in mind that this is a work in progress. We don’t have the hair system up and running yet, so you’re getting Dr. Tyche’s sculpted beard in this version.

It’s escaped to Clarkstown! Someone get the net!
Oh, and one more thing. Meet Odo.
Odo’s an artist’s model we’re using while we continue to develop the base body mesh. He’s basically the successor to Blockman. He lets us continue work on the rest of the game while we develop the sliders and other parts that make the characters super. Of course, you’ll notice he still has every joint that the final character will have. Fingers and all.

He’s the digital version of a wooden artist’s mannequin, with all the flexibility of our real model.

This means we don’t need to keep the game artists up to date with what the figure artists are doing. We can just use Odo and swap in the final version when we’re done. Of course, that doesn’t mean we can’t have some fun with him.

...Oh...great. It got Santa Odo. A net so isn't going to work now...okay, er, excuse us. I’m going to go find some Nair, and let you guys unwrap the rest of your presents.
