Even a genius scientist sometimes has to accept the fact that making a brilliant discovery takes a long time. True science cannot be rushed. When it comes to an achievement of a lifetime, sometimes you must take it slow to ensure the best result. For that reason, I decided that...
Creature Lab will open on the 19th of January 2023
This is less of a scientist log and more of an announcement. Our team decided that postponing Creature Lab's launch until the 19th of January is in the game's best interest. As you can recall, our goal was to release Creature Lab somewhere around Halloween, which turned into the 17th of November. With that in mind, we worked hard and diligently to finish a polished game that will give our players many hours of joy and let them live out their fantasies of being mad scientists.
However, reality sets in, and while we have a beta version with all key features implemented, the game is just a bit too rough around the edges for us to consider releasing it in its current state. Our key concern was the UI which needs a bit more tweaking, as well as player feedback. We want the players to be well informed in regards to what's happening and what options they have.
After rewatching our recent livestream (link below), we realized how complex Creature Lab turned out to be - in a good way. However, we also realized that all of this information needs to be highlighted for the player so that newcomers aren't stuck in the dark, trying to figure out how everything works.
We're going to focus on that over the next two months. Creature Lab is a work of passion. It's a project that we poured countless hours into since its first concept art was created back in the winter of 2019. We want the players to feel the joy of creating abominable creatures and playing out the role of the famous Frankenstein.
It's our dream to give you a polished, enjoyable, and memorable game like this. So we ask you for a little bit more patience while we smooth out the rough edges and finish the work on this incredible game for you.
We have more activities planned for this year! We're going to share a preview version with some gaming media so you can expect more gameplay videos in the coming weeks. We also want to engage our players more. We're currently discussing running another series of playtests and we're working on a digital artbook that will be available to all of our players. Below is a sneak peek at our oldest artwork for this game, from before it was even called 'Creature Lab':
