Preview Content Poll

Just throwing a question out there, but would you guys be interested in seeing script excerpts in the future as preview content? They wouldn't be massive dumps but just enough so that you guys can still see we're hard at work

Nex Update: What to Expect

Hey everyone! We just wanted to do a quick news update with what's coming down the pipeline. Just to list off a few things for sure coming in the next update:

1. Three new Optional "Events" featuring Jamie, Tessie, & Atlas to finally give the dating sim aspect some actual weight. We'd put in a Gus one too, but he's currently in the hospital.

2. New masculine leaning voice for Robyn! We've hired a new VA for the role, and you'll be able to switch between them in the same place ...

CC November Update

Hey y'all! We're hard at work trying to bring more consistent updates and we thought it best to share what we've gotten so far. 

As a quick disclaimer, this is still a WIP of Chapter 0 and the beginning of chapter 1 and is not fully indicative of what the final will look like, but we hope you enjoy this fun lil update!

Let us know your thoughts and comments (and a quick thing, one of the scenes has a developer tool still on specifically the investigation scene but don't worry...

Fun Stuff: Battle UI

The battle UI is almost done save for some smaller missing elements. Things are going along much more swimmingly as our code monkies are moreso working on fine-tuning battle stuff like Enemy AI or rigging the new models to work.

P.S. look out Wednesday for one of those new models if you're not in the community discord as linked here: https://discord.gg/f255UYSCKa

CC Beta :: Madhouse 2.0 & Visual Overhaul

Normally this would be a post purely for our Cosmic Horror tier, but for this specific playtest beta, we're extending this one out to all of our patrons! This build includes the reduxed Madhouse fight (Though the text is still a work in progress, it's got a bit of a facelift and still has some things to work out before it's fully finished), and a WIP of the new opening for the game, which includes a new scene before the actual game starts. We're working hard to get this more and more presenta...

Quick Update

Hi guys! It's been a long few months but we're in the process of working on an expanded Chapter 0 and after some long work on Overhaul, we're excited to say that we're aiming to release the redux'd version of Chapter 0  by October 31st!

As to what'll be new, we've updated the models, and UI across the board. There will be more scenes added on before where the original demo started, as well as a bit of chapter 1 to let you all know what happened after that Demo ended. On top of ...

Minor status update

Just so that everyone's in the know, we're going to be updating some of the visuals for Cryptid Crush, ranging from the dice rolling, to making the menus more easy to read, and even redoing some of the models to make the file size of the game smaller! Updates may slow down, but when we have something more major to show, you guys will be the first to get a peek!

Quick Update: Current Gameplan/Roadmap

So, the chapter 1 update is turning out to be bigger than we expected! Script-wise from a glance we have most of the script at least outlined, partially drafted, or fully finished mostly towards the first part. With everyone's school and work schedules, it'd be safe to say that we probably won't be able to finish chapter 1 by the end of spring, so we're looking moreso towards summer or fall for a full release.

However, we will be releasing an updated version of the Demo with a new scen...
