| Community | DEVLOG 1 Hello Let's start with the important stuff. New Game Plus September 10th. That's when the new update will come. Or some time around that date. Might delay it by a day or two in case I run into unexpected issues. But for now, everything is going great. Got the new boss working, made him some new sfx and I am even working on a new song. The new difficulty scaling system is working well; I also fi… | — | |

| Steam news | Dev Q&A With the game ready and the release less than one week away I decided that it would be pretty cool to answer some of your questions. I will keep checking this chat even after release, so ask away, don't get shy. You can ask pretty much anything. About the development process, technical curiosities, about the game itself, the lore, the characters. Though if I feel like a question is a spoiler I… | — | |
| Community | Release Is Getting Close + Post-Launch Plans + Cyberpunk Fest + Convo Graphs Post-Launch Plans As I have probably mentioned before, I originally planned to make this game as a learning experience. I never intended for it to be anything substantial. But days went by... I kept adding features, writing more dialogue, designing more game mechanics... And I somehow found myself with a pretty substantial game. A game that I somehow did not get bored of even after play-testing… | — | |
| Community | Full Release Progress Update 2 + NEW DEMO BUILD! OK, so to preface this. I DID NOT WANT TO MAKE ANOTHER DEMO BUILD. (But I felt making one anyway) I was determined to just leave the old one on until the game released. But I changed so many things in the past month that I felt like the old Demo was becoming pretty irrelevant. Things I added include: · New momentum-based system · 100 more Combat Upgrades including wacky stuff like Quantum Super… | — | |
| Community | Full Release Progress Update What I've been doing There are three main things I have been working on: 1. Content that I had planned but did not make it into the Demo 2. Content and tweaks that you suggested after you played the Demo 3. Bug fixes and balancing The progress I made on all three fronts is pretty substantial. For those of you who have played the Demo you are going to find a lot of new stuff in the full game. So… | — | |

| Steam news | Demo is Out! Ok, I don't think this is how you usually do demos. From what I've heard you are supposed to get a single small section of the game to a polished state and only show the player that. Well, I did something a bit different. You can play almost the entire game BUUUUUT, it is pretty unpolished. Frinds who play-tested it said it fells more like an early access than a Demo. So, here is what you can e… | — | |
| Community | Development Roadmap Part 1: Pre-release First Milestone: Demo Release This will happen sometime during the next weeks. Hard to say exactly when as I still have to do the following: · Finish Steamdeck support · Do a bunch of QA on all the functionalities · Make 4 more songs for boss battles · SFX (right now, the only thing that has sound effects is the UI so I got a lot of work to do here) · Tweak the balancing · Write some more flavo… | — | |
