2024-08-24-711 Update

The release date and time is set for September 23rd, early in the morning EST.

With the release officially one month away, I figured it would be a good time to start going over some of the cool things you will be doing in Beef Cat Ultra. From the outset, the goal of development was variety, and I believe we managed to deliver.

At launch, there will be 8 different modes, or objective types, spread across 32 stages and 4 worlds. These modes include the classic Survive - a take on the Survivors style gameplay that is most recognizable for this kind of game, and also Volleyball - a 1v1 brawl to spike volleyballs into your opponent. You'll traverse linear stages for keys in Gauntlet, and explore open ended spaces in Collect. Take on a swarm of specific enemies with a limited loadout in Horde, and take on fearsome baddies with even more limited kits in Boss stages. Stages are designed to last 5-10 minutes for a single play.

The mode that has received the most love in the late-stage of development is Endless. These gargantuan hand-crafted arenas task you with surviving a whopping 20 minutes for a "clear" but the difficulty continues to scale well beyond that point. Traversing the map and pickup up damage buffs in the only way to survive a difficulty curve that increases the health and speed of the ever-increasing size of the spawning hordes of enemies. At launch, there will be 4 Endless Stages. These are grand stages, comprising the land-space of every other stage in the World the Endless Stage is set in - with extra areas sprinkled on top.

Every single stage will track the clears for all 6 characters, encouraging the checklist enthusiasts out there. Challenge enthusiasts will be happy to hear that we logged one of the developers high scores for every single stage - and we made a Steam Achievement for every single stage which requires you to beat his high score. But don't stop there. After launch, we will host on Steam, official challenges to compete for the highest of high scores in a particular stage - just for personal glory.

The Original Soundtrack will be made available for sale on September 23rd as well - clocking in at 1hr and 9mins worth of cool chiptune rock. A discounted bundled option of the game and the soundtrack together will be available the same day.

We have a lot of work to do this last month to ensure the most polished release possible but we are super proud at what we were able to accomplish and can't wait for everyone to play the final release! Until then, the demo is available to download if you want to check it out! Help us in the algorithm and give us a wishlist too if you are feeling kind!

Thanks,
Kyle

Game load time card 100% solution:
You can fix this temporarily by opening the Settings screen and checking Draw Vegetation.
Due to the inability to accept SMS messages, the version cannot be updated for the time being. It may be due to Steam. Players who are stuck in the interface can use the above method to temporarily solve the problem.

v0.9 update is now available for all Researchers to play! Here are some highlights:

Layla is Lisa's younger sister. She'll be moving into Shimmerbrook from 3 Summer Y1 onwards (on a Wed/Sat/Sun). She has a bubbly and outgoing personality, and you'll see her helping around Mugs & Darts on her work days!



- Added 20 Heart Event Cutscenes (non-romanceables)
- Receive more mail as you get closer with the townsfolk
- Casual Hangouts with minigame
- 3 new Side Quests
- New daily routines for several NPCs



Obtain 5 cooking utensils and craft a variety of food! With 48 cooking recipes, many of the existing crops and animal products will come in handy. Other than being a better source of energy, some food also give certain buffs when eaten.

For researchers who've upgraded their homes, the Food Cabinet can now store items. When cooking, ingredients will be pulled from the cabinet before the players' inventory.



A few of our players have requested this feature (since almost day 1!) and I finally managed to implement it in the game. The daily summary tracks not just your shipped items, but also submitted scrolls and relationship changes!

Dear Chinese players: There are still some missing translation related to the new update, but we'll be updating the game as soon as we have them all ready. Sorry for the delay and thank you for your patience!

There's lots of other smaller changes as part of this update - full patch notes here.

The Early Access for Research Story has gone on for longer than I had initially planned, so thank you to all researchers for your patience! We're getting closer each day, and I now have more clarity on the remaining updates towards 1.0. Here's an updated roadmap:



Finally, thank you so much again for playing Research Story! The game wouldn't be where it is today without your feedback and bug reports. A big portion of the v0.9 update came from player suggestions, from something as large as the Cooking System, to the more innovative Casual Hangout system, to smaller QOL features like the Daily Summary and balancing changes. These are all implemented because players wanted it!

As we go on towards 1.0, there are also other areas where player suggestions will be implemented, including adding a Wardrobe (in the v0.10 small content update); more decor and specifically, display cases; alongside major content such as the continuation of the Main Story Quest (players wanted more after the current MSQ ends, and better worldbuilding in general)... I hope to cover as much as possible, but being a sole developer for the most part, I'll have to prioritise certain additions over others (I'm sure you already know!). Regardless, keep your feedback coming so that I get a sense of whether we're heading in the right direction, and know where else to improve!

That's all for now! I hope you enjoy the update!
Miki 🤍
