📰 Devlog #18

🚀 Public release

There's lots of you waiting for the public release, and we totally get it! But it's just around the corner — this Saturday, to be precise! 🎉

🗳️ Survey

We want to expand on the feedback a little bit and, closer to the public release, we will launch a poll. There, you will be able to tell us more about your gaming preferences. This will give us a powerful tool and help us tailor the content to your desires. 😉

📖 Comic

We are continuing to work on the comic! We will release the first pilot chapter very soon. It will be a small test step — but it will set the direction for the future! So we are counting on your feedback!

🗂️ Planning

The planning stage is coming to an end, and we will soon be announcing update 49. As a reminder, it will focus on the path of defeat, the point when the Queen of Blades decided not to resist the Cerebrate...

🎁 Release-related benefits

This week, we'll be focusing on rewards and content related to the release - stay tuned for lots of exciting news! You can see when each release and reward will be available here: 📌 Content map for update 48

🎮 Mini-game

This looks to be our most exciting mini-game yet! We absolutely fell in love with it during development. Those who have already played the update have surely experienced this for themselves. The way Lizzara uses her barriers to hold back Cerebrate's attacks, sparing no effort... is something you should see for yourself. Don't forget to share your impressions with us!

🌬 Easiness

After a release, it feels so good - like you can breathe in full. But more importantly, you can now enjoy the fruits of our labor: evaluate our ideas, explore new scenes, and simply enjoy the game.

🧪 Beta testing

We will be launching a new round of beta tester recruitment very soon! If you have long dreamed of helping to improve the project and trying your hand at this role, stay tuned for news - details are coming soon.

📖 Plans

We're continuing planning for the next update. As we've already mentioned, its core will be the QoB defeated route, which many of you are eagerly anticipating. 😉

🎉 Devlog #16 — The final finale of the grand finale

Before we start, we want to immediately mention that we are at the finish line! There are only a few issues left to resolve regarding the mini-game, and we are planning to launch the beta test and release today or tomorrow.

Below, we will provide more details about the reasons for the delay and what has changed.

🔍 In-depth review

In this update, we decided to take a slightly different approach to testing. Earlier, when the release date was approaching, we could sacrifice details for speed. Now, we are seeking a compromise: we are refining scenes and effects so as not to lose the atmosphere and immersion, but at the same time not to delay the release date.

A beautiful and engaging game is more important to us than simply “getting it out as soon as possible.”

🎶 Vertical orchestration

Music has always played a huge role in our projects. This time, I thought about taking it to the next level with vertical orchestration.

In short, it's a way to make music more flexible: it can change and adapt to specific moments in the game, enhancing the player's emotions. It may not be implemented in Slutcraft yet, but we definitely want to experiment with this system in future projects.

📅 Next week's plans

No plans! JUST THE RELEASE! 🎊

(just kidding 😏)

Of course, we always have plans. All our efforts are now focused on finalizing and releasing the update. And right after that, we'll take a little break.

By “break,” we don't mean a pause in our work, but rather a slight slowdown in pace: after weeks of intense work, we want to allow ourselves to breathe and recharge our batteries so that we can move forward even more productively.

🕹 Update 48

We 've made significant progress in connecting all aspects of development together - essentially, everything is ready and we are actively incorporating content into the game. However, the process is not going as quickly as we would like: we originally planned to finish last week, but we need a little more time.

⚙ Internal processes

Even with the release looming, we continue to improve our team's internal processes. Small steps now will help us work faster and better in the future.

🌱 New project

Last week, we unfortunately didn't have time to share additional details about the new project. But don't worry — we'll make up for it soon 😉

🔥 Scene ideas

Many thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts on the final battle between QoB and Mistress! We received a ton of suggestions - from epic to quite spicy 👀. We will definitely keep you posted on which path we choose.

📅 Plans for the week

• Quickly check all the content
• Launch alpha and beta testing
• Release update 48 🎉

✨ Mini-game and the revived PC

We have nothing but good news! 🎉 Let's start with the most important one: a broken PC couldn't stop us. Our programmer pulled off a clever trick and literally “revived” his computer to continue working. The main thing is that he's back in action and we're on track!

📜 Script for update 48

As planned, we have fully completed work on the script. It is 100% ready and includes everything we love about our project — intense scenes, unexpected twists, and beloved characters. This update promises to be particularly action-packed.

⚔️ Scene discussion: QoB vs Mistress!

Our Discord is buzzing with talk about what the final showdown between these two legendary ladies might look like. 🔥 Their rivalry has been going on for a while, and now you have a chance to influence how it turns out.

💬 Join the fray and share your vision of their duel!

🔮 Something unusual lies ahead

We know there's been a lot of mystery surrounding the project lately... 😏 And we can't wait to reveal it all. But for now, buckle up. Very soon, we'll start showing you what we've been working on for the past few months. It's going to be powerful.

📅 Next week's plans:

Wrap up adding all the update content to the game. Preparing the build for alpha testing. Start beta-testing. RELEASE. RELEASE. RELEASE! 🚀
