First off: we're excited to announce our upcoming collab with Dream Engine Games' mobile rhythm game, Rotaeno! For those unfamiliar with Rotaeno, it's a unique game where you rotate your phone (or tablet, if you want to get a strange workout) to hit the notes.
Innocence Keeper and GALACTIC WARZONE will arrive as part of the CORE APPEND folder in just 2 days! As with other CORE APPEND stuff, this is free content. We've added some new spicy tech, so look forward to it!
We also have another collaboration coming in 2 weeks which will also be a free CORE APPEND update, but it's secret for now...
An additional DLC pack "NOISZ Connect" will also be available at the end of the month for NOISZ's 7th anniversary! For anyone who owns NOISZ on Steam, this content is also free! We'll be making the pack available as a separate purchase if you're not about the rhythm bullet hell life (but we recommend trying out the demo just to be sure...)
Please do NOT purchase the pack if you already have NOISZ! It won't be added to future bundles for this reason.
If it looks to you like there's a surprising focus on additional content for Early Access, including DLC packs: you're right, these packs and CORE APPEND were originally intended to be released after GODHAND 1.0! But feedback about the gameplay has been extremely positive immediately on EA launch, and the most common request we've gotten is for more stuff to play, so we used the extra time that we'd set aside for potential gameplay revamps to accelerate the content schedule and give people what they want.
Our original release plan was for GODHAND 1.0 to have 35 songs of base content at launch, but we're currently projecting 46 songs of base content, plus 10 more in DLC packs. CORE APPEND will also continue to expand even further after the full version launch!
Of course, we're still working on the backend, so you can expect to see additional features like sort options in the near future, too.
Speaking of 1.0, we're pleased to announce that the full release of the game is slated for January 2026! This comes with 10 more songs as base content which are associated with the first act of the story, "PROJEKT GODHAND paradiso".
This is the true beginning of PROJEKT GODHAND, whatever that means...?? Well, you'll find out soon enough...
