A message for the community
Dear Salix Community,
It's been a rough ride launching Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey - something we knew might happen from the moment we decided to self-publish. Our ability to polish the game would rely on two things; time and money. We sadly ran out of both.
As a result, our day one release simply wasn’t good enough and for that we are deeply sorry.
Some of you will know there was an issue with save games on our April 5th launch, but we worked hard to resolve the problem and by April 9th it had been fixed. The following week, thanks to our incredible community, we'd fixed the most critical issues reported and resolved several major blockers. We plan to release further regular updates over the coming weeks which will refine potions gameplay, character movement, as well as further developing some of the characters' stories in our world.
We have now released our 200+ page art book and original soundtrack, which is almost two hours’ worth of music spread across 39 tracks by two world class composers Jools Scott (Flanders Remembers St Pauls Cathedral) and Jeff Rona (God of War, Devil May Cry 5). As existing users, you will have access to them both as part of your purchase. We are very proud of the music and artwork in our game and sincerely hope you enjoy them!
We are a narrative adventure with a rich and layered story and a cast of compelling characters through which to experience it. If you’re a lover of narrative, character, and a damn fine mystery and haven’t given us a go - please do. If you tried us and were let down by early technical issues, please give us another chance, we sincerely believe you'll be rewarded.
We’re only a small team, but we are listening and we are fixing. We want this game to be the best it can be and we won’t give up until we get there.
