Hey everyone! Thank you so much for the support and love for Spectral Showdown, It's our first game on steam so hearing such great things about the game really means a lot. 750+ downloads (at the time of writing this) is amazing and I couldn't be happier! It really does mean a lot! Anyways, today I wanted to discuss some issues and upcoming features for Spectral Showdown!

The issues

So, quite a few bugs have appeared (to my surprise), and some of them are pretty game-breaking. Obviously, If these bugs came up in testing then I would have delayed, however, they didn't. This has left Spectral Showdown in a bit of a buggy state (which is not what I intended) and that's not good. I won't list the bugs but there are definitely more than there needs to be (and quite an embarrassing amount) but they seem to be very random on when they happen so there are quite good chances you can have a nice clean game and not run into any issues! Moving forward from this, there will be a major bug fix coming extremely soon, which leads to the next section.

Upcoming Update

The upcoming update will feature a major amount of bug fixes along with some improvements. Now, if you're sitting there asking yourself "why not release bug fixes before improvements" then remain seated whilst I explain. Some of the bugs require a major redo of some systems. This means I am going through and reprogramming a lot of features to make them work, however, reprogramming these features brings improvements and also optimisations so really it's 3 birds with one stone. So, to sum it up, you can expect a lot of bug fixes, improvements (new features) and optimisations in the upcoming update! That's all for now! I hope you're all ready for this update! You can expect it to arrive soon! Again, thank you SO much for your support, it is seriously amazing! Thank you, Archie.
