Capes News

Hotfix - 1st of June

Heyho,

We’ve just released a hotfix for a crash that can occur when a Security Bot explodes next to a tech crate in the 'Tech Support' side mission.

Best Regards,
Daedalic Entertainment & Spitfire Interactive

Roadmap

Heyho everyone,

It's been now 48 hours (roughly) since we released Capes and even though we enjoyed your enthusiasm and support in the early hours, it is obvious that there are a few things we still have to fine-tune. Even though Spitfire Interactive consists only of a small team of 4 developers and this is no Early Access title, but a finished product - we still are working further on Capes to "make it right" in the end - yesterday's first patch was just the start,

Here is our look ahead:

Thanks again for your feedback and support - Please keep it coming, here on Steam or on Discord. Now it's on us to funnel that into the best version Capes can be.

Best Regards,
Daedalic Entertainment & Spitfire Interactive

First Update incoming!

Heyho,

The dust of the Release day has settled and the first thing we want to get off our chest is surely thanking you for your support in the early hours of the release!

We are already looking at the amount of feedback you have brought up so far - and since it's quite a lot and our core-dev team only consists of 4 people, there's surely no time to waste.

We compiled a first list of fixes to tackle some of your issues already and finalized the first patch to come - including:

Fixed severe framerate stutter that would occur when the camera transitions to cutscenes with DLSS enabled
Improved Quicksave to allow the save option to remain available via pause menu when a hero's action was selected
General fixes
Updated German translation

Thank you again for the feedback you've shared with us - please keep it coming!

It feels like such a long time ago that the team first discussed the possibility of making a Superhero game set in a world where the villains have already won.

Now it is time to fight back! Join Doctrine and build a new team of young super powered heroes to fight back and reclaim the city.

Special thanks to everybody who has supported the game during development including those who downloaded and played the demo. We appreciate everybody’s interest and support.
