Onikira: Demon Killer change log up to 19th January
Yay!! an update to the game!!
This is a list of the things we are including in this update. It is super important to note that we have not included any new levels or new enemies in this update. This is not because we haven't been working on them but because they are not completed to a polished level yet. The reason for that is that we want to make sure we hit the deadline of end of March, and if we spend a lot of time polishing now, then we have less time to build content. The idea is to have it all completed and then polish. We think this is a more efficient way to deliver a completed game faster

  • [Bug fix] This is a big one! Made the enter key start the game on the main menu. I know, right!

Also, we thought maybe people would like to see what we are working on, so we are going to do some live streaming starting on this Thursday at 2pm GMT, we'll post the connection link on the forums, facebook and twitter.


Some things you might have problems with:
- If you are on Windows 8.1 and have an error with something like "Debug assert..." we saw that, we are investigating and we'll update as soon as that is fixed, you can hit Debug and you should be able to play as normal. This is a problem some of us have in some machines but not others

Onikira: Demon Killer - Early Access and what we would like to achieve......
Hiya,

We are only hours away from releasing Onikira: Demon Killer on Steam's 'Early Access' program.

I just wanted to outline our aims for Onikira over the next few weeks:

<*>To get as many people playing and strong Steam community for Onikira.
<*>To continue seamless development with community support so we can build on the 2 levels we have put out on 'Early Access' based on community feedback
<*>To get a greater sense of feedback what you like and don't like on the control mechanisms, art-style and any bugs.

In order to achieve this for the first week we have offered both 50% off the base pack - and 50% off the contributors pack. So, the base pack will be 4.95 USD and the contributor pack will be 9.95 USD. The Contributor pack as x 2 keys in it , 1 for you and 1 for a friend, plus soundtrack of levels completed and some exclusive art.

The plan is we would increase pricing over time once more content is added however the immediate goal at the moment is getting as many people to tell us what you think.

If you like the game , tell your friends or maybe give us the thumbs up in the reviews. Similarly, if you don't like the game then let us know.

Basically, we need your help and your friends help to make the game great.......


Cheers,
Luke

Onikira: Demon Killer - Dev log
So we are only 2 days out from official 'Early Access' launch and thought it would be worth letting the community know there is a dev log available if you want to know more about Onikira: Demon Killer or ask any questions on the game.

Cheers,
