Hello Everyone!
The time has come… We have finally graduated from Early Access and are releasing the 1.0 version of Skul: The Hero Slayer!
It’s been just under a year since we started this journey with you and it has truly been a life-changing experience for us. We can’t thank you enough for taking a chance on our game and joining us on this thrilling ride.
But now without further ado, here are some of the things you can expect to see in the 1.0 version!
*Also please note that the game will be 20% off at launch, so don’t miss your chance to get a good deal :)
Major Changes/Additions
New Chapters Added
- We’ve added Chapter 4 (The Ramparts of Fate) and Chapter 5 (The Sacred Grounds).
The Story Comes Full-Circle
- Skul’s whole backstory is finally revealed
Upgraded Skulls
- The new NPC called ‘Arachne’ will help each skull reach its full potential.
- You can collect bone fragments by destroying skulls you don’t want to pick up and use them to power-up the skulls that you do.
Captured Demon Brethren
- You’ll be able to meet many more of your Demon brethren that have been captured by the Carleon Army.
- And for those that you rescue, they’ll pay you back in kind.
Captured Demon Castle Leaders
- You’ll be able to meet several captured Demon Council Officials in Chapters 3 & 4.
- And if rescued, from then on out they will help you in the Demon Castle before you start each run.
New Maps, Traps and Devices
- We’re adding a bunch of new maps for each chapter.
- The Carleon Empire has installed a dangerous array of new traps and devices to bolster their defenses.
Various New NPCs
- You’ll find new NPCs in various places and they’ll support you with items, buffs and the like.
- But of course, that support sometimes won’t come cheaply.
Revamped Skills for Existing Skulls
- We took a close look at each skulls’ abilities and fun-factor and made the proper adjustments for the 1.0 version.
Improved Enemies & Bosses
- We also reviewed every enemy and boss to make them just right for the full release.
New Settings Menu
- We added several new features to the settings menu for even more customization.
Bug Fixes
- We fixed the majority of bugs that were discovered during the Early Access period.
Digital Soundtrack
- You will finally be able to get your hands on the wonderful OST for Skul.
Thank you all once again for supporting us and providing us with invaluable feedback this whole time.
This 1.0 release isn’t the ending, but merely a checkpoint in the process. We plan to add a lot more content to the game before all is said and done.
This new version should be even more fun to play than before and we hope to continue on this path for the future with a lot of the exciting things we have planned.
So please enjoy the 1.0 version! We’ll also share our development plans in the near future, so stay on the lookout for that.
Thank you!
