First and foremost, we want to say a big thank you to everyone who played the Demo in the Steam Next Fest and especially those who left us feedback and suggestions! We are extremely excited to bring you Sker Ritual, and we love the support we are getting from you all! Whether you wishlist Sker Ritual, followed the game or joined our discord we love you!

We are a small team from Wales and we are listening to this community and updating and improving to make this game as great as it could be!



Animations

The animations in general are now a lot smoother and in particular, the enemies also have more reactive reactions.

Audio

We are balancing a lot of the audio elements and improving multiple areas, including the protection of your eardrums with the generators in the village. We have improved the enemies' sounds and reaction audio and we are busy adding more background audio, ambience audio and menu music too.

Weapons

A lot of community feedback focused on the weapons, in particular, especially the aiming flick/spin and sometimes unintentional stargazing, the Quiet Ones didn’t share the same enthusiasm for a new hobby so we did fix it. The weapons are now feeling a little more balanced in reloading and firing speeds and the weapons also are now not operated by using your head but are more appropriately located in your arms.

Enemies

We are fixing our favourite bug “The Bouncing Banshee”, it took a while to catch her but once we did, we agreed constantly teleporting from her problems wasn’t the best option. Enemies on spawning and causing a lag have now also been fixed, everyone now forms an orderly queue.

Ghost Mode

We have improved “Ghost Mode” a little too, the undead are now a little less clairvoyant and will not block your way.

Miracles

You can expect a miracle! We will be explaining Miracles very soon and are improving the in-game usability of them and understanding of what each one does.



There are many more updates we are working on improving (including optimising) and we might be here for a while if we told you all of them, but if you want to know more just ask us! If we can tell you, we will (we need to keep some surprises)

If you haven’t already joined our Discord please do! We sometimes hold exclusive competitions and giveaways! Also, if you want to leave suggestions or feedback please do in the #community-feedback or #feature-requests channels!
