Hey everyone, Just wanted to drop by with an update on how things are progressing! First and foremost, if you havent already, please make sure to wishlist Parasite Black! Every wishlist makes a huge difference, and with the release coming up fast, your support is more important than ever! Mika Update Progress Weve gathered almost all the art assets for the Mika update, and once we wrap up some final technical improvements, well be aiming to release it as soon as possible! In the meantime, were already shifting focus to gather artwork for the massive Steam release update. It's an incredibly exciting time for usand hopefully for you as wellas fans of Parasite Black!
(WIP) Another chaotic scene from the second battle of Novaras. Combat Overhaul Weve temporarily dismantled the combat system once again (dont worry, itll be back soon and better than ever!) to address lag and improve the overall feel. The goal is to make combat faster and smoother, and so far, the results have been really promising.
The new default combat experience will streamline animations, leaning towards a Darkest Dungeon-style speed and fluidity. As you can see, battles are now much faster and more dynamic. For those who prefer the classic, full-animation experience, well include a toggle option, though it may still cause some lag, as before. Were also finalizing new skills, balancing mechanics, and tweaking other details to ensure the improved combat feels just as satisfying as it did in the last updateif not better! More on that soon! Additional Updates The script for the Steam release is well underwayits spicy, and were loving how its coming together so far! Weve also commissioned new music tracks and other assets. Expect even more "plot" (in every sense of the word) to arrive very soon. Thats all for now. Thank you all so much for your ongoing supportyou keep the team motivated and energized to keep doing what we love most! With love, The Damned Studios Team
Mika cant wait to try one of the new Alderian jawbreakers! (Just remember: Dont bite off more than you can chew!)
