Optimized the game so that late game does not cause dips in frame-rate.
Changed the Demented Hound to cost 8k Cultists from 10k cultists.
Many more Quality of Life tweaks. <*> Many more Bug Fixes
It's been a few months since release, but I'm happy to say that work is coming along smoothly again. And I've been convinced to start updating with smaller updates but more frequently, so that there's a regular stream of content and not just a big payload at the end of many months of silence. So I will try that! I'll be working on a few more bugs that have caught my eye, more sounds, more animations, more polish, maybe more Cult Events and unlockables, and then I'll probably work on a big AI overhaul to make them truly smart. And, eventually, I hope to be adding more buildings, different ways to win, achievements, different maps (if I can get it working, maybe even a map editor), and a campaign mode. All that can take a while, but I'll be trying. I've also probably forgotten a lot of other cool things I want to work on. So I may be only a part time solo dev, but I hope I can bring you guys plenty of quality content today and all the rest of my days!
Come join the Discord! That's where I can check feedback the quickest and work on anything you guys yell at me to do. Really, if you have a neat idea then I'll probably end up implementing it in some way. Otherwise if you have anything you'd like to say, just add me here on Steam or email me at cthulhucatharsisofficial@gmail.com. I always eventually check both of those.
Hope you guys are having a great Summer Sale! Stay weird!
Game Has Been Released!
The game has been released! It's been a very hectic time, but here we are! And yes it's technically been out for a couple days, but there was a bug posting this announcement earlier! Either way this is the day I had said would be the release, so it all works out. Also, anyone that was given free beta access from the last event will keep their beta access for the rest of the day (probably around 3 AM EST). I hope you guys have fun!
And hey, come join the Discord and you can have a say in how the game takes shape as I update it to reach new heights. And make some friends who can play multiplayer with you! https://discord.gg/Uf2cQbt
We'd love to have you!
Happy early Thanksgiving everybody! Even if you're not American, Shub-Niggurath would want you to have a happy Thanksgiving --eat and be merry!
Come Join the Beta!
The new beta has just been released! Come try out the game and provide some feedback --your input could change the shape of the future game. Come join the Discord and be part of the whole event!
And don't forget to leave your criticism on either platform!
P.S. Sorry for delaying the release again, configuring builds and making sure everything worked ended up taking a few more days than expected. Just a few more tweaks though and the game is done!
Enjoy!
Progress is good! Join the Discord today and become friends!
Hello friends! Progress is going great. Now I'd like to invite you guys to come and join the Discord server and talk about Cthulhu with people!
We will be having a beta hosted through our Discord server sometime in October. Everybody is invited! Invite your friends if you like. It will be very fun. And things won't break like last time (as much)!
Game has been delayed a couple weeks, but open beta is August 3-4!
Sorry for the incoming bad news, but Cthulhu's Catharsis is not able to meet the July 2019 release date. Now you may be asking, "why did this man wait until literally July 30th to tell us this?" Because now there's good news:
First --the release date is now officially set to August 14th, barring any sort of disaster. Any even in some kind of horrible reality-destroying disaster, I promise to make the best attempt to bring you your dose of video game in whatever void we're sucked into.
Second --the open beta for you guys in the official Discord will be available to play starting August 3rd at 6 PM EST and until August 4th 11:59 PM EST (this Saturday and Sunday). You can play singleplayer against the AI (I'll try and smarten them up for you guys too) or multiplayer against/with each other and also me. The multiplayer does require port-forwarding or use of a 3rd party network like Hamachi, but I'll take care of forwarding ports if you join any session I host throughout each day (up to 5 players). It'll be kind of like a guided tour through the game where I promise to go easy on you. Hopefully we'll all have a great time. And if you don't wanna play with me :( then feel free to make your own sessions and live it up in singleplayer.
Sorry again for pulling a No Man's Sky on you lovely people but hopefully you guys love the end product!
