Long time no see! (like... 7 months.. oops)
We're almost coming up to Catamyst's one year anniversary so it's time to announce some updates for the game.
You may know that I've been working on my final year of university, and I'm glad to say we're all done with that! This frees up a lot of time and creative energy to get back to work on Catamyst.
Patches and Fixes
In the coming week or so, I'll be updating the game with some much needed bug fixes. This includes a major crash from failing a run that seems to pop up frequently!
Thanks for all your bug reports and feedback <3
Catamyst: Version 1.1
If you've been keeping up with my Twitch streams, you'll know that Catamyst v1.1 development is now underway!
The working title for this update is: Catamyst 1.1: Awakening!
Here's a breakdown of what's coming with the update:
- A brand new final boss encounter, designed to test your skills and progress the game's story!
- New enemies to defeat, including both standard and minibosses.
- A bumper pack of new content, such as potions, catalysts and enchantments.
- Overhauling underperforming systems of the game to bring it up to a higher quality.
- Balancing and Bug Fixes galore!
- ...much more to come!
[Please note: this update is a work-in-progress and subject to change]
Catamyst celebrates its first year of existence in August, and I can't think of a better time to release this update. I'm not announcing a specific release date yet, but you'll know sooner to August.
Other News...
I've got nothing concrete to announce here, but there's a lot of Catamyst-related content in the works. The world of Catamyst is expansive and I've got a lot of exciting stories I want to tell with Willow. We're early days on these projects, but I promise this game and franchise has a really exciting future! v1.1 isn't the end for Catamyst, that's for sure.
I'd recommend keeping an eye on my Bluesky account to find out the latest for all things Catamyst.
For now, that's all I wanted to share. I appreciate it's been a while, but we're finally barc to business.
I'll leave you with a concept drawing for an announced Catamyst project!
See you later!
