Caromble! News

As an alert reader you might have noticed a slight dip in the frequency of these posts. We may have missed one or two (alright 11) Fridays.

We are unhappy about this lapse. We are part-time developers and there are times when personal and professional lives interact heavily with what should be Caromble! time. It is something that happens from time to time, and every time we see that after a while Caromble! gets our attention again. We might be gone from behind our keyboards from time to time, but Caromble! is never from our minds and hearts.

But as the winter of 2018 is ending and a new spring is beginning it is also time to have a quick peak at the buds of another Caromble! spring. Don't judge, spring clichés are fine at the end of winter.

Our next release (no dates right now) will focus almost completely on Chapter 5. If our development speed picks up we will look at other stuff too. Besides 4 new story levels Chapter 5 will bring a new Arkatron too. What it will do exactly will be kept under wraps for the time being, but I can share a development screenshot. It doesn't show any of the cool new ideas we are working on, but we will save those for another time!



And another one, the graphics are still in the early stages, but see if you can spot the new Arkatron:




We'll keep you updated on our steam page as we continue working on Caromble!.

This year Caromble! will leave Early Access for its full release and we are very excited!

It cannot be stressed often enough that we are very grateful to all the players that support us! Particularly those who take the time to provide feedback and help us to make Caromble! a better game!



For those wondering what keeps us from releasing right now, these are the main features that are still on our roadmap:

• Chapter 5 story levels
  
• Chapter 6 story levels
  
• Additional skill levels
  
• Background story
  

Happy gaming in 2018!

So much work, and only one Friday per week! After the Caromble! Weekend last week was a bit slowish on the Caromble! side. We are currently working on a couple of things; a new video explaining where we are in Early Access (spoiler: quite far), extending the way we tell the story of Caromble! in-game and making progress on the gameplay of chapter 5.

Our (perhaps overly optimistic) goal is to have Chapter 5 as good as finished by the end of the year. That may be optimistic, but we are making good progress. It is a bit too early to really share a lot about what we have done. But we can share that we are really happy with how the levels are becoming!


Oh and almost forgot, Caromble! is part of the Steam Autumn Sale! Get it now for 30% off.

And please don't be shy in nominating Caromble! for a Steam Award, we have personally (in all modesty of course) voted for ourselves in the category: 'Labor of Love'. Any further votes would be appreciated!!
