Usual June Dev Update! 👀

This month we've been designing all of the more "advanced" creatures you'll encounter and fight as you progress in the game. It's been a fun challenge. Here's some thumbnails from our contract artist Audre Schutte!

Read about our process here: finji.co/news/2025/09...

Concept art of seven alien-like creatures for our upcoming game, Usual June. They each feature varying amounts of some kind of crystal-like structure, but all look pretty distinct from each other.

Screenshot from Usual June featuring characters June and Sunny standing in a mysterious, dark room. Sunny says "Jeez...I don't think this place has been touched since, like..." and June says, "Since Dead Teddy."

June stands on a catwalk above the mysterious room. There is strange machinery hanging from the ceiling. Across the way is a neon-green ghost.

June stands beside the ghost. The room has turned fuzzy with neon lights. The ghost says "Yes! The [indistinguishable text] is open! We can go!"

June and the ghost face each other in an otherworldly, mysterious landscape.
