Cruelty Squad News

Crush detection was somewhat broken and would sometimes kill you for no reason, it's now disabled until I can figure out a way to do it reliably.

Cruelty Squad is now finally out of early access!


Changes since the last EA build:

• New level.
  
• New ending.
  
• New weapon.
  
• New unlockable game mode.
  
• Extended organ markets.
  
• Two new implants.
  
• New dialogue for some targets.
  
• Pain.
  

Changes during the early access period:

• Lots of optimization and bug fixing, compared to the initial release it's possible to run the game on much lower end computers.
  
• Controls are smoother, now possible to go up stairs without getting stuck on everything.
  
• 6 new levels. (Technically 5 completely new ones, but one was turned into a fully playable level.)
  
• 2 new endings.
  
• 8 new weapons.
  
• 17 new implants.
  
• Hidden new game+ type of thing.
  
• New enemy types.
  
• Stock market simulation.
  
• Organ harvesting integrated with the stock market.
  
• Fishing integrated with the stock market. (70+ different fish to find!)
  
• And lots of other minor things that I can't remember right now.
  

Big thanks to everyone in the community, and also my friends who have supported me during this development process. This isn't the end, I will continue fixing bugs (I'm sure there's still some I've missed or forgotten to fix) and adding stuff, but the pace will be slower and there will be absolutely no promises of any specific features. Enjoy!

The full game is releasing on June 16th. I will be posting a full change log once the game is released, but for now you can watch a new gameplay trailer on youtube. Show it to your friends and help spread the word.

Thanks a lot to everyone who has played the game and participated in the early access, it would have taken significantly longer to reach this point without an active supportive community.

Hey everyone. I just released a new beta build of the game. You'll have manually to enable it in the game's settings on Steam. I'm not recommending this version unless you absolutely want to see all the latest content before everyone else, or you actually want to help get the game ready for full release. Consider everything to be work in progress. If you're on the fence I would recommend waiting for the release build to experience the new content.

Differences to the regular build, for now:

• New level, unlocked by beating all the other levels.
  
• New ending.
  

Stuff I want to add before the game is ready for release:

• At least one new weapon.
  
• More fish for the new levels that don't have any yet, including the final one.
  
• More organs for different enemies.
  
• Better representation of in-game companies on the stock market.
  
• Some nice unlockable for beating the game.
  

From now on until release the focus will shift 100% to this beta build, and there will be no changes to the regular one until then. I want the release version to be as bug-free as I can make it, and don't have time to manage multiple builds.

Changed the automatic save backups a bit, that's it. All the bigger changes before the full release will happen on an opt-in beta build. I'll hopefully have more news about that next week.

Keep consuming.
