CULTIC News

Let's try this whole livestream thing out again!

Join in and watch along as I play through the demo and talk about CULTIC!

Good afternoon all!

Thank you so much for all of your support and feedback on CULTIC! It's been a crazy 24 hours but I'm already working on implementing suggestions and fixing bugs as they're reported.

Version 020i just went live, and it addresses the following:

• Enemy aggro range reduced
  
• All main map loads now use the Loading screen, so lengthy loads don't result in a hanging application as often
  
• Lighter is now rebindable
  
• Fix for disabling crouch toggle resulting in a stuck crouch state
  
• Ability to skip Survival / Map results screen
  

I've received numerous complaints/reports about the load times in the demo map being long, and I'm looking into ways to address this - but I don't think it'll be doable without a major rework to the save system. For now, I've made it so loading saves/quicksaves/checkpoints also uses the main loading screen, so you at least aren't looking at a black, frozen application screen for the load time. I'm going to keep looking into what it'd take to implement a quick-load that doesn't involve re-loading the map.

Due to issues with the streaming service for Next Fest titles, I wasn't able to stream via Steam today. The stream will instead go live shortly at https://www.twitch.tv/3drealms , and I'll work to get a new live stream scheduled!

The CULTIC demo is going away for a little while. The game has been getting a little more attention lately, which is exciting, but the current demo is no longer a good representation of the quality of the game, and I'd like to stem the flow of bug reports and reviews regarding outdated content. (If you have already downloaded the demo, you should still be able to launch it directly from the .exe)

Why is this happening now?

Well, because I'm confident that an updated version of the demo will be ready quite soon.
