Slay the Princess — The Pristine Cut News

10/25 Hotfix

Added a direct link to the OST through the end credits in case you'd like to make a personal playlist.

Fixed an issue that would allow players to repeat the Tower multiple times on a single playthrough.

Various assorted fixes to text.

Issues that we're currently investigating:

1. There seem to be rare instances where players can get soft-locked on the [Slay the Princess] menu in chapter 1. I believe I've plugged the remaining holes in the logic there, but please report if you run into this issue.

2. There's an issue where switching to another font through the accessibility menu can cause sizing issues. The Princess' font, by default, appears smaller per "point" so it has a higher point value to adjust it to be more legible, but these size differences carry over to alternative fonts. Fixing this one is probably going to take some time.

3. There's a rare issue caused by the the Steam overlay that causes the game to crash (frequently when players try to load a save.) This seems to be an issue for some other games, too, but if you run into it, you can resolve it by turning off the overlay. Will continue to investigate further.

A couple of people have asked about trading cards and point shop items. They're definitely on our radar, and we'll start looking into them once we've had a little time to recover from launch.

Thanks so much for being so supportive!

10/24 Fix 2

Fixed another instance of being able to access a chapter three from somewhere it shouldn't be accessible from.

Should no longer be able to get to the Wild from the Beast if you've already gotten there from the Witch

Quick Load button re-enabled. It seems that there's a rare issue with the Steam Overlay interacting weirdly with load functionality. I'm assuming this is an engine-level problem, and have opened a ticket on the Ren'py Github sharing the details folks have reported. If you run into issues where loading crashes the game, if possible provide traceback information in the bugs channel, and also try validating your install before resuming your game.

10/24 Hotfix 2

Fixed another rare instance of a player was able to proceed to a certain chapter 3 when they shouldn't have been able to.

Players who had previously encountered the Fury via Tower were rarely able to subsequently reach the Fury again through Adversary

Slay the Princess, or don't - you probably shouldn't but you can play it now

Slay the Princess from Black Tabby Games is an impressive and engrossing horror novel, from the same team behind Scarlet Hollow and it's available now.

10/24 Fixes

Thank you so much to everyone who's enjoyed the game so far.

Fixes below:

That one Razor achievement should work now (but you'll have to satisfy the conditions from scratch.)

The quick load button has been temporarily disabled until I can figure out why it's crashing the game for some people. You can still quick save as normal, and you can access your quicksaves under the "Q" tab in the save games screen.

A particularly loud breaking glass sound effect was tuned down a little bit.

There was some missing logic on the Witch route that occasionally allowed you to visit a third chapter you should not have been able to visit. (Being intentionally vague here, but feel free to look at the bugs thread for details)

Fixes to various small typos and visual glitches.

Hope this helps, and a big thanks to everyone who's made this an unbelievably warm release!

Cheers,
Tony
