Closed Beta Sign-ups With Chapter 2 bringing massive changes to both the game and…
Captains, We might be all hands on deck with Chapter 2 right now, but that doesn’t mean the current Steam version is being left behind! We wouldn’t dare. The BoomStock Sale is live, meaning that plenty of fantastic games are going to be on a discount, and that makes it the perfect time to spice the game up once again. This update isn’t as large as the last major update since we’ve been hard at…
Captains, We’ve been wanting to do this for a long time, and now it’s finally happening - the very first Selaco Art Contest! Even in the early stages of Selaco’s development, we received incredible fan art from our community, and we’ve always admired the creativity and passion behind it. Hosting a contest was only a matter of time, and we can’t wait to see what you’ll create! Let’s get into the…
Captains, Now that Selaco is 15 months old, we've had plenty of time to talk, discuss, and better understand our own game. It's been a refreshing feedback loop that has always felt both fun and productive. There's something quite special about talking with players who seem equally as enthusiastic about the game as we are, especially with those among you who understand the importance of interact…
Captains, We’ve just deployed a patch that addresses numerous issues reported by the community, along with several we caught during internal testing, with Steam Deck and stability issues being the primary focus. The patch from two weeks ago went mostly smoothly, but as always with a major patch, they come with a few unexpected bugs and stability hiccups. We do not take kindly to those! Bug fixe…
Greetings captains, Happy 1-year Anniversary to Selaco's Early Access release! Valve has blessed us with a Steam Daily Deal for this special day, so we've dropped Selaco to its biggest-ever discount (yes, we broke our discount record again!). If you bought the game at full price about a week ago, you should be able to contact Steam Support for a refund of the difference. Just link them to this…
Captains, From the moment we decided to launch into Early Access, we’ve aimed to make our development process as transparent as possible and bring our players along for the ride. A little over a month ago, we mentioned the so-called Nightly Builds in our patch notes, describing them as something we wanted to experiment with in the near future. Today is that day! For those unfamiliar, a Nightly…
This Update is sponsored by Pluto Burger - Almost as big as a PLANET! Dear Burger Flipper Playtester, Zynzu Entertainment here! First off, a huge thank you for playtesting our mobile game, Burger Flipper , as we prepare to launch it to the masses of Selaco. We're in the home stretch, and our best friends at Pluto Burger are eagerly awaiting the finished product. Just one more obstacle ahead; su…
Greetings captains, Let's dive into the State of Development before we go through the patch notes, as there's quite a bit to talk about. Chapter 2 is where most of our time is being spent these days, and the majority of the team is dedicating their full development time to it. We're happy to share that things are coming along very nicely, and the number of roadblocks we've encountered so far ha…
Hey everyone, We have our next Game Update planned for March, but before this can launch, we are looking for some players to help us test one of the major changes. Allow me to elaborate on what is happening. We are upgrading the engine! Moving forward, Selaco will be running on a vastly updated version of GZDoom. Selaco was based on GZDoom 4.8, with this new version running on GZDoom 4.13; roug…
Hello everyone, We're still hard at work creating the next Mega Patch, which aims to be the most significant one yet , as it adds narrative elements, significantly amps up the worldbuilding of the game and updates almost every single level. While this is currently in the works, we've been working on a number of fixes that we wanted to patch early. This patch is not as significant as the ones we…
Hello everyone, Nexxtic here. I hope you’ve all been doing well! As the year draws to a close, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the state of the game and the progress of our Early Access. I’ll summarize the major changes and improvements we’ve made so far, and give you a glimpse of what’s coming next. Chapter 2 has been in full production since July, but in the meantime, I’ve been dedica…
Hey everyone, As we actively work on the Story Update launching in February, we felt the need to address some issues in the current build of the game. As such, we’re releasing a quick update to improve stability and add a few new features. This update is now available! The Winter Sale has begun, and we’ve put the game on another discount. Just like with our Autumn Sale, if you purchased the gam…
Captains, Hope you’ve all been doing well! We’re thrilled to announce that Selaco has been nominated as a potential Indie of the Year over at IndieDB! This news caught us by complete surprise, as being on here is not something we ever anticipated. Indie games have been delivering incredible experiences this year, as they always have. They’re a big part of why we’ll always remain passionate abou…
Six-Month Selaco Anniversary Hey everyone, Yikes, we've accidentally prepared a gigantic update... Again. It took forever to put these Patch Notes together so get comfortable. No, really, it's long! Maybe prepare a nice cold Arachnocola and listen to the Selaco Trailer Mix to elevate the reading experience. We've added some Chapter 2 teases all the way at the bottom so it's worth the time! Firs…
The new Special Campaign mode is available in Beta for everyone who owns Selaco. This is Selaco's answer to New Game Plus, albeit with a slightly different approach, hence the different name. Something akin to this has been frequently requested, and after playing around with the idea long enough, we figured we would do this now and not wait until v1.0 arrives. This mode allows players to replay…
Hello everyone, I want to take a very quick moment to explain what our plans are for the rest of the year. If you've read the v0.85 Changelog Post , you've seen me mention how we are doing a patch later in the year that consists of both Story Content and the Randomizer Mode . The goal was to do this in a single patch, but we've changed our mind on this as it did not make a lot of sense. Allow m…
Three-Month Selaco Anniversary Happy Three-Month Selaco Anniversary to those who celebrate! Not only are we putting the game on a chunky 20% discount (From August 30 2024 6PM UTC until September 6 2024 6PM UTC), but we're also launching the most significant patch to date, with tons of quality-of-life improvements, new features, and enhanced immersion. Some stats: · 70,000 copies have been sold…
Good day everyone, Nexxtic here. With Selaco having launched two months ago, it felt like a good time to talk about the state of Selaco’s development. I want to briefly talk about what to expect from the upcoming update, and what to expect from us for the rest of the year. But first… Selaco has been Steam Deck Verified! Happy to announce that, as of yesterday, Selaco has been verified on the St…
Happy (almost) 1-month anniversary for Selaco! The reception for the Early Access build has been amazing! Truly, seeing all the excitement and positivity surrounding the game has been extremely inspirational. We know things aren't quite perfect yet, and given the size of the game, we've missed a couple of rough edges that should not have been there. The goal of this patch This patch adds a bit…
We have a bigger update planned in a few days, but we decided to launch this one early because it fixes some glaring issues. Selaco has sold over 50.000 units! We launched the game 2 weeks ago and have already reached a milestone we didn't expect to hit until the end of the year. You guys are truly incredible, and we cannot thank you enough for this. Doing all of this on our own without help fr…
This update is now live and should be fully Save Compatible! A much-needed stability fix that addresses some common issues we've kept hearing about. Attention Steam Deck Users As part of the Steam Deck verification process, Steam has made the unfortunately decision to default Steam Deck installs to using Proton and the Windows installation. This skips all of the optimizations we made for the St…
A quick patch to address an issue that didn't make its way into Update 1 Gameplay · Increased Enemy Footstep sound volume by 30%. We anticipate that this will make it easier to pinpoint enemy locations and anticipate incoming ambushes ...Yeah, that's it! Time to work on our modding tools and slowly start putting our first major content update together!
Captains, The first ever Selaco patch is now live! This patch focuses entirely on balance changes and bug fixes. We always intended for Selaco to be difficult, that will always the case, but we've taken some steps to make things more fair. Especially on lower difficulty modes which are meant to be more accessible. With the launch behind us, we are going to take it easy for a moment to get our b…
The 'Public Beta' branch is now live! First and foremost, thank you all for the valuable input! It's been fantastic to see so much love surrounding the game. There are some issues, but we are working on it. We have created a Beta where we can test new versions together befor making them available to the Default branch of the game. We are still slowly recovering from a very hectic launch period,…
Selaco is NOW AVAILABLE! on Steam! Can you believe it? We're finally here! Our friend ZlimBratSki has streamed a 2-hour long uncut gameplay video for you to watch if you're still on the fence. If the gameplay speaks to you, or want to dive into the game right away, you can get the game right here: Even better news? You can play it within minutes because we managed to squeeze in a ridiculous amo…
Introduction With launch being a week away, it's about time we discuss what will be included in the initial launch, what our future plans are, and how much the game is going to cost. Thank you everyone for your patience and apologies for taking so long. Let's get into this! What is included at launch? A lot! Keep in mind that most of this will be further expanded upon as we work our way towards…
Hello everyone! We need to take a moment to talk about the demo. If you prefer a TL;DR version, here is a Steam thread that's more straight to the point than this blog post! What is happening to the demo? We have made the decision to delist the demo from our Steam Page. However, preservation steps have been taken to ensure it will forever remain accessible. For starters, all three versions of t…
