Cataclismo News

Well, I can now say definitively, if your country comes under siege from an unending horde of mutants, you do not want me building your defences for you. After my sloppy stonework left archers without a clear line of sight to their foe and bomb lobbers stranded on outcroppings as the stairs collapsed behind them, it's frankly a miracle my settlement survived the night. But I'm still having a blast anyway...

Fellow Hogardians!

Cataclismo is now ✨ LIVE ON KICKSTARTER ✨

Based on your feedback after playing the demo, Cataclismo is already “quite good”. But “quite good” isn’t excellent, and that’s what we always aim for. In order to reach the same level of quality as Moonlighter and The Mageseeker, we need your support.



Help us polish the already 30-hour campaign, create more hand-crafted skirmish levels, and expand the creative mode even further. Keep it secret, but a Mario Maker-like level creator with online functionalities might (👀) be one of the stretch goals.

Back us on Kickstarter, and you’ll get the chance to access limited, backers-only discounts and rewards, not least this nearly 200-page hardcover artbook or this premium figure of Iris and Hermes.



But most importantly, do it for Hermes. Our lovely pale Raven is waiting for your cuddles!



See you on Kickstarter!

Vicent and Javi play our demo explaining our upcoming game.

Fellow Hogardians!

Cataclismo will participate at the upcoming Steam Strategy Fest (Aug 28 - Sept 4) featuring an updated demo!

But Horrors won't wait until Monday to destroy your walls, so the new demo is available RIGHT NOW.



Here’s a quick summary of what changed:

• A brand new level for our seasoned players. It is meant to be a tougher challenge than anything you could find in the previous demo, and it allows you to explore a bigger, less restricted zone without tutorials nor tips to guide you through. This level lasts around 60 minutes depending on your skills.
  
  
• Difficulty modes. Choose between three difficulty modes: Easy, Medium, and Hard. Each one changes the number of Horrors attacking you, how much health they and your units have, and the speed of resource gathering. We want all players to find their sweet spot and adapt the experience to whichever difficulty they feel comfortable with.
  
  
• Skipping tutorials is now a thing. Many of you complained of Cataclismo being a tad too handholdy at times, and we listened. This new demo allows you to fully ignore tutorials or watch only the Cataclismo-specific ones – skipping those common to all RTS games.
  
  
• Better visuals, UX, and performance. The overall experience is smoother thanks to improved graphics, UX, and performance. Cataclismo plays, looks, and runs better than ever before!
  

That’s it for this update – now we’re off to keep working on our upcoming Kickstarter. Now that you’ve casually mentioned it, remember you can hit the follow button on the pre-launch page to be among the first supporters of the campaign!

Hi!

It’s been a while since our last update, and we want to take this moment to share some great news with you: We’ll soon launch a Kickstarter campaign for Cataclismo!



Why Kickstarter? Because we’re friendly parting ways with Humble Bundle. Thus, after Moonlighter and The Mageseeker, this is the very first time we’ll self-publish one of our games.

But we still need you.

Without a publisher, we have two options: to release the game as it is or to keep improving it until it reaches our “high as a tower” quality standards. Of course, we bet on the second. This campaign will help us finish the game to meet our expectations and hopefully yours as well.

We have just published the Kickstarter page, so we encourage you to hit the “follow” button and share it with your friends.

Stay tuned for more info on dates, rewards, stretch goals, etc.!
