Glad to have you here for the February Broadcast! Let’s recap on the developments and what’s been happening at Torpor Games!
Our 1.1 patch has been released on the 11th and was received very positively by everyone! We broke our 350 concurrent player count from January with 460+ players on the 13th of February. The game also surpassed 1.5k reviews on Steam as of today!
This big patch was a massive effort for our studio and the ideal core improvement post-launch. We have followed up on the big update with smaller improvement patches to consolidate the balancing further and fix the remaining issues.
We are very happy with the current state of the game and will continue to push smaller updates like the upcoming 1.1.4 to polish the experience further. It’s not easy to maintain a game like Suzerain which has so many branches and backend value changes so supporting the game does take considerable effort and time.
If you do have improvement suggestions please send them over at our Discord server. We are particularly keen on improving typos, grammar issues and other smaller writing problems.
Also a big thanks and shoutout to Tung Thanh Cao (Khassian) who completed his internship with us and helped the release and the post-release period significantly. It’s been a wild 5 months of game development together. Good luck on the path.
Some good news! The German federal government has accepted our grant application and we are looking forward to what we can achieve with this. There will be a future announcement regarding the developments related to this grant.
Additionally, we have seen the requests to localize Suzerain into other languages. Due to the massive wordcount (450k+) of the game and our current financial situation we can’t afford localisations as of now. We are very sorry and will let you all know if this situation changes.
Ata from Torpor has also attended two podcasts which will soon release their episodes. The first one is Developer Dialogue and the second one is the Adventure Games Podcast. Tune in to these once they are out!
Thank you all for your continued support and the awesome reviews everywhere! If you want to support us further please drop a positive review on Steam if you haven’t and advocate for the game and its message. That’s how indies survive after all.
