Hey guys, just checking in to let you know how progress is going, it's been a while since our last post so, there's a little bit to catch up on!

First and foremost, as usual, If you haven't already, please wishlist Parasite Black over on steam! Every wishlist helps!

 Link to the steam page here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2174500/Parasite_Black/

First things first, gameplay improvements and coding:

We're currently working on implementing the final missing skill trees and such for characters, the Parasite forms now have their own branching skill trees, so when you transform into your Parasite form, it should feel much stronger.

We're also continuing to make numerous quality of life improvements, like trying to reduce the lag in combat and some much needed rewriting of older code.

Furthermore, we plan to bring back mouth and facial movements once more, something we largely had to abandon for a while due to more pressing issues.

We're looking at all aspects in the build up to the steam release, including more SFX sounds, tracks and other things, in the hopes we can get as high quality a release a possible.

Art and the update:

The progress on the next update is going well, we're just waiting on the final art pieces for Mika, and we should be fully ready to begin implementing.

Once again, we're continuing to not just add characters, but revamp old as well as improve upon some of our newer models that maybe could look a bit better.

We're confident with the pace we're going, of course, there's still plenty of work to be done as usual though!

The plan + release date for the update?

It's always hard to predict these things, but at the current pace, we should have it out in a month, (approx - don't jinx it!) Of course, our priority is finishing in the mages of Palam stuff asap as well as other essential finishing touches, then, it's onto wrapping up Act 1 and giving Regina some content, but, I can't say much more than that for now!

That's all for now,

As always,

thank you to everyone who supports us,

your generous support helps keep the lights on around here,

and without you guys, none of this would be possible!

Love,

-The Damned Studios Team
