Release Announcement - Early 2023
PsiloSybil will exit beta early access and fully release as 1.0 soon. Soon, however, means sometime in the first months of 2023, and not around... right now as I had previously estimated. I'm sorry I couldn't make it, and I'm sorry for coming up with this late. It's not a massive delay, but it's there.
The game is, as it currently stands, almost finished. In terms of gameplay content, has all 23 of its main levels, and only the 24th bonus level is missing. The things I want to wrap up before I can call the game finished include:
- Aforementioned bonus level
- A very juicy secret!
- Quality-of-life improvements
- Cutscenes, credits, and a general coat of varnish on the user experience beyond raw gameplay
So do not expect brand new chunks of game, but do expect that same classic platforming brutality to be just in tip-top shape to break your spirit on that special day. I don't know the exact day right now, but rest assure that when it comes, it comes hard and unforgiving. Spend this time buffer wisely, study up and git gut.
Take care, and thank you now and forever for all your support!
