Skeletal Avenger News

The game was just updated with a bunch of new languages. Now we have 9 languages in addition to English: Italian, French, German, Spanish, Finnish, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, and Korean. The language selection was decided based on the past sales of our previous games. There's a possibility of some more languages but we'll do those post launch. And we also have a full launch date 29th Sep 2021!



This might be the final update before the full launch: The game now includes all the planned features.

One thing we're still mulling over is the support for Mac & Linux. With Linux we've faced a lot of technical incompatibilities during the past few years and the user experience hasn't been as good as we'd have hoped for. We're internally discussing whether to drop official Linux builds and trust that Proton would take care of the Linux side (https://www.protondb.com/).



Regarding Mac we're transitioning between the x86 and ARM worlds and we're pondering how we handle the two binaries on Steam. A lot to think about still.
