Slay the Princess — The Pristine Cut - blacktabbygames
Hey folks!
Now that we're back from an incredibly exciting PAX, I want to do a devlog about the new demo. To that end, here's a survey that'll help with the writeup (and that'll help us mathematically determine Best Girl): https://forms.gle/zCsktLotoEP16bbj7
Also, while you're here, a quick update on the past couple of weeks, as well as what's to come.
We've been floored by the overall reception to the new demo — not only has the community response been incredibly, warm, but Slay the Princess has been making the rounds across the press space.
Here's just a few highlights from the past couple of weeks:
Slay the Princess also won *two* best in show awards at PAX, which is absolutely wild.
So, what comes next? For the most part, it's just going to be putting our heads down and finishing the game. All of the major plot points for Slay the Princess have been outlined and ironed out, so now it's just a matter of putting them into the game, creating more art, and recording more lines. While it's too early to announce a specific release date, we're shooting for Q3 of this year, with making sure the game is out in time for spooky season being our driving force. And given the rate we've been working at, that timeline feels pretty reasonable to us!
We'll be keeping this page up to date as we make more progress, but if you'd like more frequent updates, you can find them by:
Thank you again for the incredibly warm support — we're so happy that you're all as excited about this game as we are!
Best,
Tony and Abby
