Hey everyone!
The development cycle of Nothing Beyond This Point is coming to an end, and it only seems fair to give an update on some things.
The game is almost finished! In total there will be 16 areas, 12 bosses (although I may have miscounted?), 4 endings, and a bunch of secrets big and small. All that's left on my end is the final boss and main ending. We're getting there. Final boss takes a while, to nobody's surprise, but he's well on his way to becoming great. And also really big.
The end is near.
Apart from the final boss, my main focus right now is polishing everything up. Fixing bugs and crashes, adding particles and effects, removing unnecessary things. Everything must be up to code, whatever that code is. There's always going to be issues to work out, pre- and post-release, I just want to find as much as possible so release date won't fall flat on its face.
...ugh, do I have to?
As for extra content, boss rush might make it in if I have enough time. I'll for sure add it eventually, but before or after release is currently unknown. The same goes for extra bosses, although my hand may have slipped and accidentally added one already. Oh well. You can also enjoy a Bestiary, a Jukebox, and something to get you that 100%...
Who is this, then?
Release date will be April 1st, 2025! As mentioned before, it will be 5 USD.
That's not an April Fools joke, my schedule just works out nicely this way. It will be Sydney time, so March 31st for most of the world.
EDIT as of 2026/02/25: the release date has moved up a week, see next announcement.
On that day, the full OST will also release for 1 USD. It's almost two hours long, so well worth it if you ask me. In the meantime, check out this bonus (?) song for free! It's used... somewhere, that's for sure.
This will likely be the last update before release. I should really do more marketing, but I don't like that, so I'd rather make the game than telling people about it. I'm really hoping the game will be received well, obviously!
As always, you can join my Discord or follow me on Bluesky for some extra updates and other things to enrich your life with. I used to have Twitter but... well, we all know what happened.
See you in the Void.
