We have been working super hard on Karting Superstars! It's been awesome to show the game and get people like the legendary Tony Kanaan playing and having fun. Now, we couldn't wait to also give you all a chance to get a feel of the game, so we've released a demo, which you can play right now!
Take your kart for a spin on Centrifuge, one of our new favourite tracks! You'll be able to customize, set your best lap time and race vs the ghosts of other players around the world.

If you played our game "Time Survivors: Prologue", the forthcoming "Time Survivors: Chapter 0" may sound confusing. With this post everything will be much clearer! It's quite simple actually...
Time Survivors: Prologue marked the initial free release of our game. It offered a limited selection of characters and features, and it won't receive further updates. It's likely being removed from Steam in the future.
Time Survivors: Chapter 0 is the evolution of our free game, inspired by the invaluable feedback from our players who experienced the "Prologue". We've diligently worked to implement significant enhancements, introducing fresh gameplay mechanics. These include unique activable abilities for our historical heroes and a skill-tree meta progression system, allowing you to unlock and refine various gameplay elements.
Time Survivors represents the full game. A free demo will be available at the end of September, and it will be featured at the Steam Next Fest in October. The official launch is scheduled by the end of 2023 and promises a wealth of additional content compared to "Chapter 0". Expect more stages, historical characters with distinctive abilities, items, weapons, and much more.
TL;DR
"Time Survivors: Prologue": no more updates; switch to "Time Survivors: Chapter 0" (free-to-play!)
"Time Survivors: Chapter 0": a separate new game, introducing new content and gameplay mechanics. If you played the "Prologue", your progress will transition to "Chapter 0"
"Time Survivors": the full game with more content than "Chapter 0". Featured at Steam Next Fest in October, full release by year-end. Your "Chapter 0" save game will continue in "Time Survivors"

I know it has been a *while* since the last Devlog Update, but rest assured, that does not mean we haven't been working hard at developing the game! In fact, it has been the exact opposite of that--we have been ramping up production as we gear toward the encroaching launch of our Kickstarter campaign!
Here are some new features added since our last update:
VASTLY IMPROVED ENVIRONMENTAL ART & DESIGN
The game does not look as "bland" and "same-y" as it once did
Lots of environmental assets added and incorporated such as pathways, grass, rocks, flowers, trees, crates (cover), etc.
Various level design improvements
NEW ENEMY TYPE: ARMORED ENEMY
Base enemies now have a chance to spawn in as an armored variant
Armored enemies are resistant to normal bullets and require explosives or high-powered shots to take them down efficiently
Adds more variety and strategy to combat
INCREASED OVERALL GAME DIFFICULTY
After much feedback from people wishing for a bit more challenge from the game's combat, the game is now more difficult for those *looking* for a challenge
There are still modes and features in the game that make it easier for those who do not care or want a challenging experience
Let's see how you do against the buffed army of robots >:)
MAIN STORY AND SIDE QUESTS IMPLEMENTED
Kittens with Cannons is primarily an action-RPG which means the game's narrative will play a heavy role in the overall experience
Side quests will feature unique characters and storylines and *will not* be made with any less effort than the main quests. This means we intend for *all* quests to be meaningful in their creation and implementation. Quests are not meant to feel like chores or tedious fetch-quests to grind levels.
Side quests are completely optional but we encourage you to play them as they grant more rewards and more fun stories!
PLAYABLE DEMO NOW RELEASED
You can play our demo on Itch.io or Game Jolt, completely free and no download necessary! Demo Link
Please don't be afraid to send feedback our way
We will be updating the demo as we continue to improve, fix, and add to the game!
There are *a ton* more things, small and large, that we have added to the game, but I will go over those in future Devlog Updates as this one is already long enough.
Anyways, as always, thank you all for continuing to follow and support the development of Kittens with Cannons. Have an amazing rest of your week and see you all next week for another update! :cat:
