ːuppiesːThe first anniversary is upon us!ːuppiesː
It has already been a whole dang year... December 9th returns. Even though in the grand scheme of things not many people know about the game, we still have a bunch of certified sickos enjoying it enough to finish it, speedrun it, and even further beyond!!
And that leads to the fact that Bat to the Heavens is in RTA in Japan Winter on December 30th and AGDQ 2026 on Jan 4th!!!!! (thank you kana and Spirialis for enjoying the game so much and submitting it to these events!!)
I can't thank you enough!! Honestly the passion and enjoyment by these people really has got me going and I felt motivated enough to commit myself to working on an update. I must mention kana, the person running for RTA in Japan, has done a fan translation, and will be adapted into the game as a Japanese translation as well! The sheer dedication is crazy awesome!!!

So, I said I probably wouldn't do anymore content updates and wanted to focus on new game stuff.
To be honest, I wanted to hold true to that, but I wasn't really feeling any of my ideas after prototyping them, and messing around back in bat to the heavens was really fun and got me focused. So... here we are! Back in the batting mines... in my terrible first game code. owell!

What to expect?
Don't expect too much! There IS new content for sure, but it's something you shouldn't expect too much out of. Just a few things that I felt could use more diving into. Something I enjoyed making and playing. Included with that, here's a small list! The details will be expanded upon in the release patch notes.
- steam cloud!
- bugfixes
- bugunfixes (potentially)
- optimization of 30-50% in the CPU! ( hopefully will help!)
- maybe some challenge for certified sickos
- secret
- JP translation for 1.0.x [ new stuff wont be translated at first ]
- creacher's abilities are furthered.
heres something I posted on twitter. Its nothing. Really.

The dev playthrough stream!
Anyways, before the update comes out, on Dec 8th, I also intend on doing the dev commentary and playthrough on stream! This'll be soon and maybe uploaded to a vod,
so feel free to check it out here!
I'll be showing intended solutions ( not invalidating any other solutions ) and talking about my process and thinking, and everyone is free to ask me questions! I'll still likely keep lore and deep secrets a secret though, mostly focusing on the core and main level stuff. Just be kind and respectful and we'll have a good time!
ːcreachːːcreachː
