Well everyone it has nearly been a full year now since our release of Angels That Kill here on Steam and it has been fun.
It certainly wasn't the largest launch and the game had it's fair share of issues but with this update we hope to change and fix the majority of those issues. The game will also be on sale soon for 30% off and we should have an announcement about a smaller project of ours shortly.
For more information about what this update will do please see our last announcement, we just didn't want to post a duplicate. As always thank you guys for your time and have a baller day.
Upcoming Update 2.0
Here in just a few months we're coming up on the one year anniversary of Angels That Kill. To celebrate we have been working on a new update that adds in new features and fixes issues that people have had since day one.
Some of the larger things to come in the update:
-added a new map system that shows your current location
-added a notification system when you make ending changing decisions
-fixed an error that tied the hunger system to the framerate causing it to be notable faster for some people, it now works properly off of time
-fixed an error from launch that would cause the mouse to randomly stop showing
-changed the introduction/credits/disclaimer/title screen to now be skippable
-rebalanced the hunger system
It has been a privileged for us to be able to release our game on Steam and we hope that this upcoming update will help bring the game closer to what we had originally envisioned with the project. As always thank you guys for your time and have a baller day.
