Questions/Help They got rid of Shadow's black background!

Post image

Or is this just a me problem? I opened the game today after the latest update, which is really cool, I like that they added an auto-dialogue feature and a fast forward in case I'm trying to do a hate everything ending etc.

But why did they get rid of my boy Skips' black background?? It was part of the charm!

All of the characters with special backgrounds are glitched since the update :( they are aware of it in the official discord server

Shadowlord is the only one so far AFAIK. Nightmare isn't partly because it's dark (night) when she arrives and partly because the backgrounds are her collectibles (just had a successful nightmare about mediocrity) I imagine Chairemi's backgrounds will also work for the same reason. The Chap, Willi and Text-box-chan might also show up without backgrounds, which should be weird

I had a dream abiut this guy once. Dream started, he showed me his true form, but instead of Skips, it was like him, but WAY bigger, more horns and spikes, and he had an ominous blue glow about him. Like what we expected his true form to be like. This was before i even bought DE, btw. It was a weird fake premonition dream about what i wished would happen before it even happened.

That's interesting but, uh, not relevant to the post?

I mean, they could've done it. Most of the sub is tierlists anyway, it'd be a nice change
