Dear fans and aspiring mad scientists,
It’s always hard to come forward with bad news and double hard to repeat a bad message. We truly respect your dedication to Creature Lab and how eager you are to jump into the role of crazy professor raising his army of relentless mutants. We are also super eager to let you try the result of our long, sometimes harsh, but passionate work. Creature Lab is everything to us, together with its community.
However, life is rarely made of ideal situations. And developing a game as an independent team can be a perfect example of this truth sometimes.
That’s why, after much consideration, we regretfully inform you that we have to postpone the game yet again.
We know you already have a lot of doubts about this delay, and the number one question is: why? One big reason is the process of localization to all languages we have committed to making available at launch. Despite the best efforts of both us and our translation partners, we found significant parts of localized versions not on par with our quality standard. We need some time to get them to the level of polish we can present to native speakers without any doubt.
As for the second reason, it may feel like repeating the reasons behind our previous delay. However, Creature Lab became a, well, really big creature during the development process. We have implemented all the features and systems we wanted to include in the launch build. However. we were not fully satisfied with the way they work and interact in some aspects.
We want Creature Lab to be not just playable. We aim to deliver the best possible experience for all of the players. That’s why we decided to give those features more time for additional polish. We are sure this will make them more fun to use in the final game.
So we’re taking some time to provide the best final touch possible. As we have to make you wait a little bit more for a second time, we don’t want to commit to a date that is not written in stone. For the moment, we are setting the game to Coming Soon status.
That doesn’t mean that we intend to make you wait a second longer than needed. We hope to provide you with an unmovable, ultimate launch date as soon as possible. And we mean to put focus on the word „soon”.
Of course, we are here to answer your questions. Don’t hesitate to ask us anything via Discord and Steam discussions. Let’s start a conversation and we’ll be sure to address your doubts and feedback.
We’re sorry again and thank you for your patience! You make our work worthwhile and we promise to bring you the most abominable (by this we mean the best) version of Creature Lab possible in this universe!
