We've decided to deliver one more update before releasing out of Early Access. Expect it later this month. BTW, the plan to go for the full launch this year remains unchanged (more on that very soon as well!).
A lot has happened since winter! We thought now it's a perfect moment to reflect on the year and share some insights from the Vixa and The Crackpet Show.
🦈 In January, Sharky was crowned as the star of a show and continued to be the most commonly picked participant. Do you think he can be dethroned? We will check once again after the full release.
📆 Apart from releasing new updates, February was also all about balancing. Thanks to your valuable feedback, we've managed to completely overhaul the game pacing in the first episode, adjust some weapons, and make Special items more powerful. Since then, we have been able to focus on tweaks and polishing only. Fingers crossed, it remains that way after full release as well!
🐊 In March, new rooms started to show up! Compared to Early Access beginnings, you now have Upgrade, Healing & Stash rooms - all available via sponsor upgrades. The Upgrade one was the toughest from the balance point of few - we had to ensure that leveling your weapon one more level isn't going to throw away weeks of work on the difficulty.
📆 Around April, we started to look for new music for the game - we heard your feedback very loudly. We've found two composers, tested different mixes, and are satisfied with the result. Can't wait to share it with you!
🐔 In May, participants got enormous support from the crowd - as the audience joined the fight for the first time. This feature was definitely challenging to design. In the end, you can call for support at any time, including intense boss fights. As a result, we got one of the funniest bugs of the year, with the audience throwing punches and kicks at the enemy even after delivering a final blow.
📆 Fashion time began in June with the introduction of the skin machine! Main inspirations? Spyro, KFC, Hollywood stars. As for now, you have one skin per character available, but the plan is to give you 4 options for each participant. Keep those precious skin cards!
🐰 The summertime was also on the active side! We've introduced skins inspired by Admiral Bahroo's and had our own booth at Gamescom 2022 for the first time ever! This was an utterly intense week during which we met hundreds of amazing people at our booth. The team of Sharks looking straight from The Crackpet Show will always be remembered! We've also showcased The Crackpet Show during Tokyo Games Show 2022.
📆 September was the time when you could try our brand-new endless mode. Thanks to feedback from the core members of our community, you can expect well-balanced gameplay with an engaging difficulty curve from day one.
✨And that brings us to the summary of the last month, October. Who will be the fastest to complete season 1? Looks like BlackWinter is the fastest so far! Last month we also had a cute visitor - we gave him the name Oscypek - after a typical Polish sheep cheese. :D
Okay, so what about the new update? Again it's coming very soon - later this month. Stay tuned!
