NSFW Throwback: Baker & Sabine
Added 2025-08-22 03:44:18 +0000 UTCAs mentioned in this month's update newsletter, Pacha and I have been taking a couple weeks off following the launch of Monstrous Liberation's first update. This is Very Necessary to rest and recharge and catch up on those various life things that fall by the wayside when you're crunching to get an update out on time, but obviously it means it's going to be a little bit before we have new MonLib art to offer as Sneak Peeks.
To tide you over, I thought it'd be nice to show off some never-before-seen splash art for As Above/So Below! If you didn't know, AA/SB was the very first project Pacha and I worked on together - we put together the demo that you can play for free on Itch, and then spent a couple a more years haphazardly making content for what was vaguely planned as an "Episode 1"-type release. We ultimately made the decision to shelve it so we could focus on Opportunity instead, which was absolutely the right decision but also left us with a bunch of art and no game to show it in.
This scene was going to be an early-game sex scene between Sabine Sable (AA/SB's space-pirate-captain protagonist) and Baker Bulwark, whose route would become available for players who were enrolled in House Echo. Players of Opportunity will notice that Baker looks very familiar, and you aren't imagining it; we recycled her design for Rose (Juniper's wife).
