After a wild week of Next fest (at least for us), it's time to share some conclusions. First of all, we'd like to say a big THANK YOU for everyone that wishlisted Kaiserpunk. You pushed our game over 100.000 wishlists at the moment, and that is an amazing moment for all of us. But that vote of confidence also means it's on us now to deliver, and that is exactly the plan!

Another awesome thing is that Kaiserpunk was among most played demos during Next fest! We're positive that means most of you like the hybrid concept we're working on and most of you feel there is good potential here. Our job is to craft that potential into fun and memorable experience.



This Next fest was our first opportunity to present the game and get genuine reactions to concept and current alpha game itself. We were excited and scared at the same time, but looks like many of you would like to play something like this. Road we have ahead is a steep one, but on our end challenge accepted!

We're specially thankful to everyone that played and send their feedback, either on Steam community foums, Discord or any other way. This alpha is not perfect, not by a long shot. Apologies to everyone that couldn't properly playtest Kaiserpunk due to technical issues or bugs. We're sorry you didn't get the proper chance this time.

Regarding feedback and first impressions themselves: YOU'RE BEING HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR! Every bug is noted, every suggestion written down. We've pushed 5 updates to demo during Next Fest and we tried to mend everything possible at a short timeline, in order to allow as many of you to play as possible. Unfortunately we couldn't get to everything in time (or fix itself needed more extensive interventions), but we will address everything you've raised as issues.

At this time, hardware requirements and optimization looks to be the culprit that prevented many of you to properly test the game. We are fully aware of that and for that reason, this is put to the highest priority. We already started several parallel steps to reduce hardware demands and expand the amount of configurations where game will run nicely.

Next step is to iron out all the bugs and weird gameplay details you've reported. Every single log you've provided us will be hugely helpful here.

Lastly, we'll continue to work on remaining content that needs to be added (and there is fair amount of that as you've probably noticed). Important to note here is that this plan will now, as a result of your feedback, be amended and expanded. You told us what you'd like to see in the game, which parts you find great and which should be improved. All of that will be on the table now, and whatever matches concept of the game, can help the game and/or is feasible for us to create, will be discussed seriously.

Once again big thanks to everyone participating in first live playsessions of Kaiserpunk. Every minute you've spend in it will help us create an experience you'll hopefully be happy to try again and again as it matures.

Steam keys are now available for all the loyal mercenaries who supported us early.

The Early Access release is one month away and now all have access to the Steam version of the game early! To claim your key simply log in into your IndieGala profile library and check your store tab (or use the search feature)

Because of your support and with your help, we can continue adding more content (new areas, missions, enemies, weapons, etc.), and further refining the Vorax experience to get the game up to the standard that you deserve.



We encourage you to pre-order Vorax from our website located here. If you haven't already, please make sure to wishlist and follow Vorax on Steam here.

If you have any feedback or any questions, you may get in touch with us by joining our Discord. Your constant support is what helps us make this game great:

1. Fixed the problem that the last note of the song "永遠の星夜" (No.10) in normal difficulty could not be determined.

2. Fixed the problem that the CG of the song "Island Breeze" (No.8) was not displayed correctly at three stars.

3. Optimized the visual of long notes to distinguish them from ordinary notes.

4. Remade the score of the song "青涩的时节" (No.2).

5. Lowered the achievement requirements. As long as the evaluation reaches S, you can get the 100% accuracy achievement.
If you have already reached S before, please open Sexy Beats again. The game will automatically detect your save and calculate the achievement.

6. Add 10,000 bonus score when the accuracy reaches 100%.
There is a problem with the calculation of the score and the fever state. However, I will not adjust this calculation because there are many players on the leaderboard. If the score calculation is adjusted, it will affect the ranking of all players, which is not fair. Therefore, the solution after weighing again and again is to add an additional 10,000 to the score of 100% accuracy.
If you have already achieved 100% accuracy before, please open Sexy Beats again. The game will automatically detect your save and calculate the score, and the score on the leaderboard will be updated immediately.

Please note: Steps 5 and 6 require a good network connection and will only be performed once normally. If it is still not completed after a certain period of time, you can try to restart the game.

I am very sorry for the bad gaming experience. If you encounter any problems during the game, please feel free to give me feedback. I will continue to optimize the game! Thank you for your support!
