A labyrinth spider at home in the ivy — *Agelena labyrinthica*! 🕷️
This species builds one of the most distinctive webs in the garden: a flat, dense sheet of silk with a funnel-shaped retreat in the corner where the spider waits in ambush. The remains of previous meals are clearly visible — this one has been busy.
*Agelena labyrinthica* is one of the most common funnel-web spiders in Europe and a valuable predator in the garden ecosystem. Easy to overlook, but a fascinating hunter once you stop to look.

Een gewone doolhofspin in haar element tussen de klimop — *Agelena labyrinthica*! 🕷️
Deze soort bouwt een van de meest herkenbare webben in de tuin: een vlak, dicht spinselvel met een trechtervormig schuilhol in de hoek, waar de spin op de loer ligt. De resten van eerdere prooien zijn goed zichtbaar — deze heeft het druk gehad.
*Agelena labyrinthica* is een van de meest voorkomende trechterspinnen in Europa en een waardevolle predator in het tuinecosysteem. Makkelijk over het hoofd gezien, maar een fascinerende jager als je even de tijd neemt om te kijken.

🔥 Kotaku and the inclusive press are up in arms over Stellar Blade: Blood Rain, Shift Up is caught in the same controversy again, and the boss seems to ignore the WOKE uproar.

CEO Kim Hyung Tae promised the new heroine Ivy would get «even more attractive» outfits; journalists called the trailer angles alarming and the poses overly sexualized for her young age. Devs admit Ivy is indeed younger and shorter than Eve, but Kim urges calm and to w...

Zum #FensterFreitag ein kleines Update vom Efeu Fenster (2024)
Es ist nun schon zu 2/3 verschwunden, noch ein Jahr und es ist wohl ganz weg 😆

For #WindowFriday a little update to the ivy window (2024)
2 3rds of it are gone by now, another year and it will probably completely vanish 😆

Shift Up doesn't want you to just stare, they want you to actually love the new lead in Stellar Blade: Blood Rain: Ivy. 🔥

Hyung‑Tae Kim says Ivy replaces Eva (they're linked), and the studio deliberately gave the new heroine personality after feedback that Eva lacked depth. Development has been underway for about a year, core structure is set, most of the original team stayed. The focus is denser, more engaging gameplay: tight‑quarters comb...

Shift Up handed the spotlight in Stellar Blade: Blood Rain to Ivy, not Eva, they're connected, but the studio's keeping the details tight.
They deliberately made Ivy shorter and younger, because they want players to love her for personality, not just looks: she fights HARD and looks badass. The sequel is narratively tied to the original but designed to stand alone; about one year into development, with priority on denser gameplay, fun clo...
