Hello Exorcists!
We're back with another DevBlog to show you what we're working on right now.
This announcement will be short but heavy with importance, because yes, we finally have a date to give you for the release of this long-awaited overhaul.
First, let's recap some of what will be available in this update:
- Improved and optimized graphics.
- Complete lighting overhaul.
- Complete experience and money overhaul.
- Prestige/Progression system (level 100 + 1).
- Maps to unlock in the Encyclopedia for money.
- Entities (that you can come across) to unlock by leveling up.
- Modifications & Improvements of the tablet. The tablet was given many improvements, both in the way players select evidence as well as the information delivered.
- New map available.
- New interactive tutorial in an exclusive map, allowing you to learn the basics of the game in a more interesting way.
- New entity.
- New type of gameplay to stress players: Dolls.
- New interactions in several maps.
- New game modes have been added.
- The Bamboo Temple map has been completely overhauled for more realism.
- The Barony Gunther map has been redone.
We'd like to answer a question that many people may have:
- Concerning the saves you already have: during the update, the game will try to convert your save to the new system. You will keep the money & experience you've already earned, however the experience/level system has changed, so it is possible that you may not reach the level you had previously. This is to be expected, and is normal. In order for players to discover the overhaul (and new content) you will not receive converted experience above level 60 during the save file conversion.
Here is a schedule of the update availability:
(we have closed requests for the closed-beta access for now, thank you all very much for your interest!)
- Friday, August 19th: The overhaul update will have a closed-early-access period specifically for streamers, content creators and influencers.
- Wednesday, August 24th: Release of the overhaul update will be published for public beta testing.
- A few weeks later: Release of the overhaul update to full public release (main branch).
We're very excited and can't wait for you to try out the work our team has been putting in for several months now.
As always, we will take your feedback into account! We're always looking to improve the experience!
Don't forget your Crucifixes and Mary Statues.
