Minotaur News

Hello everyone! We're so happy to confirm that Nod's route has finally been released!



We honestly can't wait for you to play it... There are many things about it that we'd like to share, but so as not to delay the release anymore, we'll post another, more detailed update in a few hours.

In the meantime, just one thing to keep in mind about the game + OST bundle. We decided to run a 10% launch discount on both the game and the OST. However, the OST will only become available later today or tomorrow, which means that the bundle will too. And the bundle will have a 15% discount... So in case you plan to purchase both the game and the OST (something that we really can't blame you for), and extra 5% sounds like a good deal, you might want to wait until the bundle is out.

Or not ; )

Cheers and see you soon in Royce apartments!

This pre-release battle has dragged on long enough...



(If you wonder why is Thea lying like that while she still has some HP left, it's because she's playing dead.)

Everything is finally (*ahem*) ready for the release of Nod's route, and it's coming into Early Access on September 5th! We honestly can't thank you enough for your patience and support throughout the years. There are still ways to go before Minotaur is complete, but this is an important milestone. More than half of the game is done, and since most of its basic mechanics have already been implemented, we hope that the work on the other routes will go faster.

Aside from the news of the hour, I'd like to use this opportunity to address a recent controversy surrounding Chris Niosi (who plays Nod in Minotaur), which involves his abusive treatment of numerous people, as well as a violation of an NDA with Nintendo. I wanted you to know that we're well aware of the situation, and we obviously do not condone behavior that involves any form of abuse or breach of trust. Unfortunately, we're also very limited in our response options. Nod's part is huge (it's his route that we're releasing, after all); recording, processing and adding it to the game had been a long and costly process, and at this point in production, we simply do not have the resources to repeat it. Maybe this or some other option will become viable in future, but for the moment, I hope for your understanding in this matter.

To wrap this announcement up on a brighter note, I'd like to confirm that Nod's route OST will be available on the fifth too : ) In fact, it will also include a small "bonus" package of 10 additional tracks (for a total of 30), some of which are variations and remixes of main in-game songs. I've bragged about it enough already, but we really love it, and I hope you will too! Here's a wallpaper based on its cover in case you haven't seen it yet:

If you have any questions about the upcoming release, please let us know, and we'll do our best to answer them. In the meantime... I hope you're as excited about it as we are!

PS: did I mention it's September 5th this year?

Huge cheers and lots of love ♡🐧

Hi everyone,

Are you still looking forward to Minotaur? As some of you may already know, we've solved our OST issues, and I'm happy to say that the soundtrack will be available upon game release (and we managed to keep it intact too). It will include every track from Nod's route, and there are about 20 of them, almost all coming from different artists.

Unfortunately, a few problems have also come up during the review process (on some of the platforms), which we're dealing with at the moment, but I can assure you tha...



I honestly don't know. But we're doing everything we can to bring you Nod's route ASAP! So please bear with us for just a little longer. Hopefully our new trailer will manage to sustain your interest - do check it out when you have time, I hope you'll like it!

Welcome both our new and old friends, happy Easter festival!

So when is the best time to add Clocker to your steam library? RIGHT NOW!

Hi everyone,

I'm here to announce that it looks like we're going to have to move our release date a couple of weeks forward into April...



I know, right? To think that we'd ever delay the game! The main reason for it is that we've run into some issues with our OST, which prevent us from using several songs that we originally licensed. A few days ago it became clear that, despite our best hopes (and efforts), we won't be able to solve them before the end of March. We had the option of replacing those songs, but we love our soundtrack, it has many great tracks from wide variety of artists, so we decided to take a couple extra weeks to make sure it can remain as it is. For the moment, I'll set the release date on Steam to "April", but I'll post an update with the exact date as soon as we sort that business out.

This extra time will also allow us to work on some technical issues that we were originally going to leave for later (like the bug with the game not being displayed correctly in windowed mode on high pixel density displays). But please don't worry, there are no reasons for any more delays, and Minotaur is as ready for Early Access as it will ever be!



And that's that. I'm very sorry that you have to deal with another delay — we always appreciated how supportive you've been about Minotaur being in development for so long, but I understand that your patience isn't endless. The least I can promise you is that this is the last time we move the release date, and that we didn't cut any corners. I may be a bit biased, but I like how Minotaur is turning out, and I can't wait for you to play it.

Yours,

Nick & u7committee

PS: some people mentioned their birthday is on the same day as our "original" release date (I believe they were @Bainbow, @FeNiX フェニックス and @TempestHouse on the day before), so I'd like to apologize to them in particular that we had to move it. Hopefully this won't stop you (or anyone else, for that matter) from enjoying the game : )
