The Last update of Capsular
Hello Community!
I am very sad to announce that the next update will be the last content update.
This is because i can no longer justify putting a ton of time into Capsular. Because lets face it. The game flopped. I am already working on a new project wich will hopefully do alot better then Capsular ever has. On my journey i met alot of really awesome people and i learned quite alot about how to handle and manage a commercial release! I hope i wont do the same mistakes again in the future.
What will happen now ?
Well the next update will be the last content update. If bugs or crashes popup after the patch i will try to fix them as fast as possible. This also means that i am scrapping the campaign. This will also mean that the next patch will bring Capsular out of Early Access making it a finished product!
What will the next patch include ?
Mostly stuff for Machine Uprising. This includes a brand new Map, Weapons, Enemies, Upgrades and even a new Boss! I also rebalanced alot of the old content making Machine Uprising alot more fun!
Does this mean your abandoning the game leaving it in its buggy state ?
I try not to be THAT kind of developer. The game will release in a state where i can be proud of what i have achieved. If bugs, glitches and crashes popup after release i will fix them as fast as i can! So dont worry about it.
I would like to thank a few people who supported and helped me over the course of development:
KingyKronus who helped me find problems and giving suggestions
Junn3 & LAX3N for creating one of the first Capsular Content on youtube and helping me to create the trailer for the game.
Jana for being a awesome human and supporting me with her amazing music and voice acting directing!
199X Survivor Pro, Beef and Nintendawgz for breaking my game on a regular basis
Sparktite, Simpli & Keepsake for supporting me and streaming the game
And ofc all of my voice actors who helped to bring my weird announcers to life!
I hope you guys and girls will understand my decision to finally finish this game!
Stay neato,
Gunschlinger

Capsular will go free to play!
Hello!
The community has spoken! Capsular will go free to play! But what does that mean for existing owners of the game?
Existing owners will receive the Indie Supporter DLC for FREE!
But what is the Indie Supporter DLC ?
Its a $7 DLC you can buy once the game goes free to play. The DLC will give you 20000 Ingame gold (Enough for 2 Outstanding Hats!) and a Unique Supporter Weapon Skin for all weapons. The main reason why this dlc will exist is to directly support the game itself. So if you really like the game you can support me by buying this dlc.
The game will go free to play in roughly 2 weeks. If its sooner i will write another announcement.
The Free to play launch will include a new patch.
Should Capsular be free to play ?
Hello!
Since Capsular released the game has always struggled with its player numbers. They are well... very very low. I had the idea of making this game free to play for quite a while now but i always didnt do it since some people already spend good money for it. Now i have decided it would be the best to let my small community decide.
Should the game go free to play ?
Please use this poll: https://www.strawpoll.me/16933704
If the game would become free to play and you guys would like to get some kind of reward for buying the game early i would make a 7€ dlc wich includes a bunch of ingame gold and maybe a free skin or two. All owners of Capsular would receive this dlc for free. When the game does go free to play i will keep the buisness model the same. No Pay to win. No Paid cosmetics. You will only be able to buy the very optional 7€ dlc just to support me. All future updates will be free aswell. If the poll is successfull then i will make the game free to play in a week or two.
Thank you for your support !
