Slay the Princess — The Pristine Cut News

Dearest Slayers,

You can now build decks with Slay the Princess-themed playing cards in Balatro! Please enjoy your new Spades as well as probably the most unhinged professional email I've ever sent. :)



Best,
Tony

Hey folks!

We're so excited to share the first wave of Slay the Princess merch we're doing with Fangamer. This round is three items:

• A "Heart, Lungs, Liver, Nerves" longsleeve shirt.
  
• A Shifting Mound T-Shirt.
  
• A beautiful stained-glass pin of the tower.
  

You can order these items today, using this link if you're in North America and this link if you're in Europe.

Fangamer also ships to other countries, so if you're not in those regions, still try taking an order to checkout!

We've really been blown away by the quality of the production here, and we can wait to share more with you in the future, including a very devious plush.



That's all for now, folks! Stay tuned for March 3rd, when we'll be launching a huge overhaul update to the first chapters of Scarlet Hollow, which'll be a great time to pick up our other game for the first time!

Best,
Tony and Abby

Small number of fixes:

Fixed reported typos/mistranslations for the Polish translation. (Still working on compiling and fixing these for other languages, more polish fixes to come as well)

Fixed a sprite in PatD where the Princess has two left hands.

Assorted minor fixes.

Now that the console and PC builds are synced, I've caught up on the past month or so of reported bugs. Highlights/general notes:

1. Fixed a number of typos or instances where the spoken dialogue didn't sync word-for-word with the written text.
2. Restored a handful of inaccessible dialogue lines that were blocked by broken logic.
3. Changed chapter 1 knife -> betray tower start so that displayed art is more consistent with narrated actions. (Specifically, the Princess now has a more accurate level of battle damage)
4. Adjusted volume for a handful of lines that were too quiet.
5. Fixed a mistranslation in Japanese for first meeting with Her.
6. Switched .wav lossless for the pristine cut soundtrack in the supporter's pack for .flac to save space. Replaced Unknown Together and Apotheosis livetracks in the lossless soundtrack with up-to-date in-game versions.

I'm sure there's other stuff I'm forgetting, but this is what comes to mind.

Happy new year!
Tony

January 1 Edit:

A couple of small fixes for typos missed in yesterday's round + a few minor visual fixes.

Hey folks!

Just wanted to share that Slay the Princess won the award for best new characters and the grand prize at this year's Indie Live Expo in Tokyo! To celebrate, both of our games are 20% off for the next week.

Since this is a pretty short update a few other things:

• We've been blown away by the quantity and quality of submissions to the fanart event we've been running. It's still going until the 15th, but the community easily earned an ~art stream.~ It'll be happening on our Twitch channel on December 21st at 1pm Eastern.
  
• The Collector's Edition for PS5 and Switch is still available for pre-order if you're interested in a physical copy of the game with exclusive merch.
  

• We've got plenty of other cool stuff you can pick up, including pins, shirts, vinyl, posters, and more. Check it out here.

Thank you again for all of your support. We wouldn't have gotten this far without you!

All the best,
Tony and Abby
