Slay the Princess — The Pristine Cut News

Hey folks!

We hope you've all been enjoying the new update (and if you've only bought the game after the update dropped, we hope you've enjoyed your first playthrough!)

We'd like to get some baseline player data before you al play the Pristine Cut so we can see how the new and expanded chapters change your thoughts. And there's also just some other player data we'd love to see about how you've played!

So we've got three surveys for you:

• A general survey: https://forms.gle/6qTkNoJWnBSB2HdE8
• A new Princess ranking poll, this time separating the Chapter III Princesses out from the Chapter IIs, as well as including options for TSM and the base Princess ^^: https://strawpoll.com/05ZdWooYlg6
• A similar ranking poll, but this time for the voices: https://strawpoll.com/kogjk33o8Z6

We're really excited to see what you share!

(Also, work on the Pristine Cut is continuing to come along splendidly, and we can't wait for you all to see what we've been cooking. It's Very Good (IMO))

All the best,
Tony and Abby

P.S. We know that a lot of you have been itching for translations. Please keep your eyes peeled for a big announcement later this year!

Fixed a bug where an end game Princess sprite was placed too high on the screen.

Hey folks!

Here with a small update fixing an assortment of minor issues and tweaking a few things.

Music

• Adjusted the volume of "Transformation" and "The Apotheosis" to be a tad louder. They should both have a bit more oomph now.
  
• On the note of "Transformation," adjusted the point where it starts playing such that the opening swell more organically flows into the first animated sequence.
  

Usability

• Added hotkeys for quick saving (F5 on keyboard and left shoulder on gamepads) and quick loading (F9 on keyboard and "Back"/"Select" on gamepad)
  
• The "controls" menu should now accurately reflect the gamepad layout.
  
• Mapped a button to toggle self-voicing on gamepads (L2)
  
• Added an optional toggle in the preferences to turn off the flashing click-to-continue buttons.
  

Cheers,
Tony

• Hotfix 1 (March 28th PM) — Fixed the one-time tooltip that you receive after clearing your first loop to reflect a remapping of the skip button on gamepads.
  
• Hotfix 2 (March 29th AM) — Fixed a small number of display bugs.
  

Hey folks!

Thank you all so much for the overwhelmingly kind reception to our new update!

We know a lot of you particularly loved the art Abby drew of the Princess orchestra, so we've gone ahead and made it available for pre-order in both poster and t-shirt form! Our shop's taking pre-orders until April 12th before they start printing, and if you order before then, you'll get a lil discount relative to what they'll cost after the pre-order period.

We also wanted to let you know that we've updated the Supporters Pack to have gifs of the new animations from the update. You can find them in the "concept art" folder!

Thank you again, and we're extremely excited to share more of The Pristine Cut with you!

HOTFIX 1:

Fixed an instance of a sprite partially disappearing in the end-game.

Fixed a a rare issue where a duplicated folder caused some users to crash on start-up.

HOTFIX 2:

Fixed an issue for one of the tower/apotheosis ending monologues that would double-play its final line.
Added a lingering pause to an end-game hand-holding animation to make it feel more intentional/organic
Fixed some typos
Removed some accidental extra fury lines that didn't have voice acting
Restored a cut line of argumentation in the finale.

HOTFIX 3:

Added gifs of the new end game animations to the Supporter's Pack
Reduced the opacity of the Skip button when text is not skippable
Fixed an issue where apologizing to the Princess in the unknown together ending wouldn't appear if the Fury (from the Tower) was your first Princess
Fixed an issue where the wrong black and white art would occasionally display during the Den sequence in the climax
Fixed an issue where you were unable to back out of an expanded menu in the Damsel section of the climax
The quick menu should no longer appear when loading an old save if you have it toggled off in the preferences.
