Siralim Ultimate News

After 16 months of alpha, beta, and early access testing, Siralim Ultimate has finally exited Early Access and is fully available for Windows, Mac, and Linux on Steam!

Special thanks to everyone who took the time to contribute feedback and submit bug reports to make Siralim Ultimate the best game it can be. This game is the culmination of over 8 years of work on the series, and I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed making it.

Please spread the word about today's release, and if you haven't done so already, please write a review of the game on Steam - it helps more than you know!

Siralim Ultimate will exit Steam Early Access on Friday, December 3 for its full release! Huge thanks to everyone who contributed feedback and submitted bug reports during Early Access.

As always, I will continue to monitor our forums for any issues. Later today, I will release a small patch that fixes some minor bugs that were reported since the last update, and this patch will also change the version number to 1.0.0.

[h2]FAQs[/h2]
Q. Will my save files carry over to the full release?
A. Yes. You won’t lose any progress.

Q. Do I need to do anything on my end to prepare for the end of Early Access?
A. Nope! This release won't affect you at all outside of causing uncontrollable excitement.

Q. Is the Mac port still coming?
A. Yes, I'm working on that right now and fully expect to have it ready before December 3.

Q. When will Siralim Ultimate be released on other platforms?
A. I'll start working on console and mobile ports very soon, but there's no way I can provide an accurate estimate this early on. While console development is my top priority, the certification process involves a lot of downtime while I wait for Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft to do their part. For that reason, the mobile ports will likely come out before the console ports since I'll be able to work on mobile development during console certification. I will provide you with regular updates about my progress on all platforms.

Q. Will I be able to transfer my save files to the mobile/console versions when they're released?
A. You'll definitely be able to do this on Android, iOS, and Switch. I'm not sure about Playstation and Xbox simply because I haven't had a chance to dive into those platforms yet.

- ADD: Accessory graphics now appear in the loot box so you can see what they look like without scrolling to your inventory.
- CHANGE: Realm property that limited the number of times your creatures can resurrect has been removed from the game. If you still see this property when you load your save file after the patch, you simply need to refresh or complete a realm.
