Stygian: Outer Gods | First Post-Launch Patch
Greetings ladies, gentlemen, and any eldritch entities watching us from the void!
We are excited to see how many of you have heard the call and rushed to the mists of Kingsport since we've launched Stygian: Outer Gods into Early Access yesterday! And we've already gleamed valuable insight from watching you play from afar as well as reading your posts and reviews and chatting with those of you who have joined our Discord server. And we have already prepared and just released a remedy for several problems plaguing your nightmares, both serious and small.
The complete list of changes can be found below, but first, we would like to assure you that besides the removal of pesky bugs and addition of new areas, monsters, plot twists and mysteries into the game, improving its performance IS among our top priorities. We are already exploring several avenues of how to achieve this and make sure that your in-game experience is as smooth as possible. Alas, such is the nature of Early Access, that we needed to see how the game performs for more different settings on different machines than what we can ever hope to test ourselves, despite our best efforts. We therefore ask for a little more patience before you pass your judgment while we finish a performance patch that we are working on.
You see, all your feedback is beneficial and helps us in our endeavor to unleash the Stygian nightmares upon the world; however, if you share what troubles you with us in the form of a negative review, even if it is well-intentioned, it both hurts the game as well as impedes our ability to ask follow-up questions and investigate the problems more dilligently. In short, it makes it more difficult for us to improve the game and rectify the bad impression it has left on you. Therefore we implore you, if you see potential in our project and would like to see it grow, and even shape the form it takes, instead of sharing your woes through a negative review, come join us either in the Steam Discussions, or talk to us and your brethren players on our official Discord server - we will be forever grateful.
And now, behold what we have prepared for you in this short span of time:
