Hey all! We're happy to annouce that this next Dec 14th we'll be launching our game Cosplay Club on Early Access, here on Steam. A couple of weeks ago, our Kickstarter backers received access to the first chapter of the game and have been enjoying it so far. Because of that immediate good response, we decided to let you all be envolved with its development through the Early Access program. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1172180/Cosplay_Club/
Why Early Access?
We've chosen to release Cosplay Club through Early Access to involve our community in the game's development journey. We aim to gather valuable feedback, insights, and suggestions that will help us refine and enhance the gaming experience. This collaborative approach allows us to build a game that resonates with the preferences and expectations of you all. It all started during the Kickstarter in 2022, and we want to continue exploring this path. The duration of the Early Access phase will depend on the feedback and input we receive from you all. We are committed to delivering a polished and engaging experience, and the Early Access period will continue until we feel that the game has reached a level of quality and completeness that aligns with our vision. It will be mostly around 9 to 12 months, and even after that, we plan to continue to integrate new content. The Early Access version serves as a foundation, offering players the core mechanics and features of Cosplay Club. Throughout the Early Access phase, we plan to introduce new content, refine gameplay elements based on player feedback, and address any identified issues.
New game's name
From now on, we'll be refering to our game as Cosplay Club. We wanted a more friendly and catchy name, and funny enough everyone was already calling it by this name. So it makes even more sense to change it permanentely. But we all know how important the Mahou Senshi part is to us and to the game's theme, so it will be forever on our history.
We're here because of you!
Let's not forget how important is your collaboration in this project. Because of you we manage to get where we are, and we are finally able to make this game available to everyone else. Thank you very much for being part of our community!
Join our Discord
More than ever, our discord server will serve as a hub for everyone in the community. We'll be talking about the early access builds, patch updates, the content milestones, and everything else. Let's share some costumes over there! See you soon on Dec 14th! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1172180/Cosplay_Club/

A lot of people were asking for a Kickstarter relaunch since we didn't get the 100% goal on the first try. And we hear you. We did some changes to the campaign and we're trying it again!
But we want to break the algorithm and fund it on the first 24 hours so the platform promotes our campaign even more, creating an amazing snow ball effect. And we might get all the stretch goals! Why not?
To achieve this, we need you to pledge on the first 24 hours of the campaign, starting tomorrow morning, 9am EST.

Our studio is back to the Kickstarter! We just revealed our new crowdfunding project and we're hoping to have the same success that we had in 2013 with Chroma Squad. Do you remember the manager RPG about Power Rangers and TV Show?
Getting back to the Kickstarter once again is not for the faint-hearted. Chroma Squad in 2013 was a huge undertaken, but it was a very successful one. said Saulo Camarotti, the lead creator of the studio. Today were getting back to crowdfunding, but we want to bring more experience and maturity to the project he completes.
The new project is called Mahou Senshi Cosplay Club, where the studio is focusing in creating a story driven RPG with their very well-known twist of mixing realities of imagination and meta reference. This time a Magical Girl gets her power from starting a journey in becoming a Cosplayer, and the game will allow you to create costumes and fight in turn-based battles using the costumes you create.
The game features a complete RPG set in a cosplaying world. Youll have the opportunity to explore events and exhibitions to participate in cosplaying contests. Through exploration, you will expand your inventory with new materials and design parts so you can be more creative on crafting new costumes.
We're looking for support to complete the game on Kickstarter and we've put some interesting options in the pledge list, such as buying access to an early playable build of the game, or even becoming an NPC cosplayer inside the game that looks just like you and would be wearing a nice cosplay of your choice.
Mahou Senshi Cosplay Club will be heading first to PC and Major Consoles, and it is expected to release in 2023 upon the success of the Kickstarter. If you want to check out their crowdfunding page, please go to http://www.playcosplayclub.com.
Behold Studios was founded in 2009 and is known for games like Knights of Pen & Paper, Chroma Squad and Out of Space. With more than 70 international awards and nominations the studio has gathered a big loyal community with their quirky pixel art RPGs along the years.

Hi everyone! Here are the patch notes for the version v0.8.01b4! The online multiplayer mode is now available for everyone who owns the game! As usual, items tagged as [COM] were changed based on community feedback.
ONLINE MULTIPLAYER (LIVE!)
[COM] Well, it took long enough, but we finally managed to get the online multiplayer in the same state as the local play. That is not to say it is perfect or totally free of bugs, but it is totally playable and it should be a great opportunity for those who never played Out of Space as it was intended to be played: cooperatively. Friend invites on Steam are right around the corner, but not yet available. That means that if you want to play with friends, you must all be in the same region (settings) and try to go online at the same time. Having best region selected is not currently working for matchmaking. It should not be too tough now that not many of you will be playing at the same time, but we are sorry for this temporary inconvenience nonetheless.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PROGRESSION
[COM] As said in our community server, this was one of those features we always knew the game needed, but we only just got to a point in which it is possible to implement it. Its supposed to be something pretty simple to understand: at the start, part of the content that was available in the game until the last update will be unavailable. It will all become available again once the players unlock achievements like playing some matches, recycling a given number of items or even winning a match without cooking anything. We believe this will greatly improve the learning curve of the game, allowing players to be introduced to new items as they get more experienced with the game. Not to say some of the more challenging achievements that will encourage players to try to win matches using very odd and interesting strategies.
CHANGES AND ENHANCEMENTS
- Aliens AI reworked to behave more like it is trying to protect itself from the players and to have less predictable movements. They are also more responsive and active, to be more of a threat when left by themselves in rooms. - Changes on how the music gets compressed, reducing the size of the game and optimizing the loading time for sound effects and music in general. - The Recycler now has a queue of items and allow one player to throw items at it while another activates it at the turn handle.
BALANCE
Dog Its AI got reworked to make him more efficient and more responsive: - It no longer waits until getting into a room to start barking at aliens, meaning it will promptly stun any alien it finds along the way; - It spends more energy while barking, but lasts twice as long while idly following the players; - It will now prioritize barking at unstunned aliens instead of stun-locking the same alien until it runs out of energy; - The Dog will always get its energy full when fed, regardless of the type of food you feed it or the amount of energy it had when it started eating. This avoids moments when the dog was fed a fruit but didnt get back to the game after that; - Using the ping now calls the Dog to help you, which is especially useful on multiplayer matches. This gives players more control over who the Dog will be following;
BUG FIXES
- The Dog is now more reliable and ignores aliens less frequently; - Fixed tension levels, making the music adapt better in the game; - Character models no longer clip inside the boxes on the character selection screen; - Aliens no longer disappear after walking on the porch or close to its limits; - The Bucket can no longer be cloned by interacting with the sink too fast and nor refills itself twice visually when placed in a sink or faucet; - The positions of the items that are queued on the Recycler has been improved not to look as if they were floating above it; Online - The tables are now properly fixed on online games; - Object physics no longer go crazy when used in the Recycler; - Appliances no longer behave as if they were powerless when they are connected to an active energy socket. This fix will also reduce other syncing problems like when a pumpkin garden would produce fruits for one of the players.
Out of Space is now available in Early Access!
Our game is currently purchasable through Steam! Important to state that the game is fully playable, but still in development. This means that those who choose to get the game now will be joining us while we learn what the community likes and expects from the game and use that to make it better for everyone.
It's going to be great to have the game accessible for players outside our Discord Community as well! Open development has been our thing for a while and we can't wait to open it even more. Talking about the community, big thanks to all of the members who helped us so far! You rock, honestly.
If you are interested in joining us along this Early Access journey, you can get the game with 15% OFF on the link below:

What is Out of Space?
Strategy co-op multiplayer game about living on a spaceship with your roommates. You'll need to generate resources, take care of a deadly alien infestation, upgrade your appliances and build your own sustainable space home. Living together is never easy, especially when you are in outer space!
Why Early Access?
Our process of developing games has always been very open to the community in the past. We usually show our games under development in more than 10 events throughout the year and we find that to be the best approach to making games. We want to make the game for the community, and instead of us trying to guess what you want, why not making it an open process? Our project Out of Space has already benefited from the feedback of the community during its first versions. Since 2018 we're doing livestreams on Twitch/Youtube and keeping everyone engaged in our official Discord Server. By releasing this game in Early Access, we hope to continue to grow our community and get more people involved in its development.
Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
We plan to have it on Early Access throughout 2019, but we're open to extend it depending on the community feedback.
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
We want that the final version of the game to give a sense of completion to the player, with missions, achievements and unlockables, a complete tutorial and the ability to play with your friends or anyone online. The main goal is to make a game interesting enough to keep you going back for more for every match. Right now, we have a fun and almost feature complete match, but we lack persistence and progression to enhance the games replayability.
What is the current state of the Early Access version?
Out of Space contains the most important features of the in-game match: The ability to buy and build new technology, the need for taking care of your stamina/fatigue and your hunger, the procedural level generation, the basic resources, batteries and organic materials, also the basic enemy system and AI. Also, right now, the game is only playable as local multiplayer or solo.
Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
We plan to have the game during Early Access with a fixed discount of 15%. After that, the game will be launched with the full price.
How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?
Our plan is to make the community a big part of the development process so, every 2 weeks we will have the same cycle of: - Gather and analyse all feedback and analytics from past cycle. - Plan the current cycle of bug fixing, updates and features. Inform the community on Discord and Steam Forums about the current cycle and upcoming features. - Start production and continuously keep track of the community feedback. - Every Thursday 4pm (EST), the dev team will do a live streaming about the upcoming changes (Twitch, Youtube and Steam) - Launch a beta version to the most interested players, and then release the stable version to everyone else at the end of the cycle. Please join our official Discord Server to talk to us and help us improve this game. http://discord.gg/beholdstudios

Hey everyone,
Today is a very exciting day! Remember when, way back in 2013, Chroma Squad almost reached our Kickstarter stretch goal for an Episode Editor?
Back then I was just a backer like you. A few months later, I was brought on board to help the Behold Studios team in making this dream come true! Slowly, throughout the years, we kept improving the game, surprised and motivated by how much love it got from you, our fans.
You never forgot about Chroma Squad, so neither did we! Last year we saw the “Director’s Cut” free update, with lots of much-requested features such as the New Game+ and controller support. And today we are officially releasing the Beta version of our Episode Editor!
What can you do?
With the Episode Editor you can create episodes as complex (or even more!) as the ones in the game. You can create your own stories, dialogue, fights, giant robot battles, surprising twists and “funny” puns. Oh boy, I wish we had this tool back in the day - it would have made development so much easier! But it is here now, and it is yours. It is still rough around the edges, and we need your help to test it and to tell us what we can do to improve it.
The only major limitation is that you cannot add your own media such as sprites and sounds (yet!), and you also cannot add or manipulate special objects in the environment (such as the bombs from Season 5 or Monster Portals). Apart from that, the sky is the limit - you have access to all maps, bosses, enemies, characters, sound, music, and special effects from the official Chroma Squad campaign! You can create adventures that slot in the regular campaign, or create stand-alone stories or even campaigns - it’s up to you!
How do I use it?
If you want to create episodes or simply play the creations of other people, you just need to follow these simple steps:
1. Go to your Steam client 2. Go to “Library” and find your Games list 3. Right-click your “Chroma Squad” installation 4. Select “Properties” 5. Click the “Betas” tab 6. On the “Select the beta you would like to opt into” drop-down menu, select “public-beta” 7. Click on “CLOSE” to close the Properties window 8. Wait for the download and play the game! After launching the game, the Episode Editor BETA can be accessed from the Main Menu on the bottom-left corner of the screen.
Documentation & Tutorials
These are under development! We will share them with you as soon as they are done. In the meantime feel free to ask questions here in the comments, in the Steam Forums, or tweet directly to me @markventurelli or @beholdstudios.
Example Episode
I have created an example episode that I will reference on the tutorials. It is a fairly complex episode, and it demonstrates the power of the Editor. I also think it is pretty fun :) You can download it by visiting Chroma Squad’s Steam Workshop page and Subscribing to it.
I have feedback / I found a bug. What do I do?
Please report bugs directly to us using the in-game tool. Just click on the top-right corner of the screen. Or email us on bugreport@beholdstudios.com.br. For general feedback, you can use the comments below, the Steam Forums or any of Behold Studios' social network channels.
Go let your imagination run wild!
Thank you for your love and support throughout all of these years! We can’t wait to see what you will create. With love and imagination, anything is possible! Go, Chroma Squad! _o o |o| /o/ /o_ Cheers, ~Mark, Gabe and the Chroma Squad team

Hi everyone, Thank you for all the love and support you've given us since we released the "Director's Cut" super-patch! Also, thanks for the patience - we know there are still bugs to be fixed, and we are working on it. We've seen your reports in our bug report system, as well as on the forums, reddit and even Twitter. Thank you for helping in making this game better! :) Today we are addressing most of the things you've reported, but there's still work left to do. Especially, I'd like to talk about two things. 1) If you are on Mac or Linux and have been having problems launching the game, we figured out why - it's actually a Steam patch problem related to us renaming the executable. That's why we were having it work for some people but not work for others. **TO FIX THIS ISSUE** - Go to your Library, and right-click "Chroma Squad"; - Select "Properties"; - Select the "Local Files" tab; - Select the option "Browse Local Files"; - Now, on the game folder, right click "chromasquad"; - Select the "Get Info" option; - Open the folder ContentsMacOS; - Rename the file "mac2" to "chromasquad"; Please let us know if this solves the issue for you. 2) If you are experiencing a freeze on the final boss (please avoid spoilers and don't mention the name of the boss on the comments), we have fixed an issue on that fight, but we have failed to reproduce some of the cases that you have reported - we've played this fight over 20 times and it seems perfectly stable on our machines now. Please let us know if the freeze still occurs for you. If it does, send us a report with your email through the in-game system. We might ask you for your save game file to try and catch this elusive issue. That's it for today :) Cheers, ~Mark **Patch Notes** Fixed an issue where multiple pop-ups would stack on top of each other; Fixed an issue where changing resolution in-game would freeze the game; Fixed an issue where NG++ Bosses had more health and damage than intended; Fixed an issue with Cloud Saving on MacOS; Fixed an issue with camera movement not working properly with the mouse; Fixed an issue where the game would rarely crash when launching the last episode of Season 5; Fixed an issue where some gamepad labels would show up when playing with the mouse; Fixed an issue where the mouse cursor would disappear if you used a touch-screen-enabled PC; Fixed an issue where some Achievements were not working on Steam; Fixed an issue where the Chromatize button label would disappear after failing an episode; Fixed an issue where the final boss would freeze on its second transformation; Fixed an issue where trying to Resume a paused Mecha Fight would result in the game freezing; Fixed an issue where the Options menu would not close on the Studio screen; Fixed the "Save My Telly" and "Episodes Hero" achievements; Fixed an issue where the game would rarely crash on the final Mecha Fight; Fixed an issue where you could skip an episode in Season 5; Fixed several other minor bugs;

It’s finally here! We’d like to thank you for your patience and support through all these years. To all the fans and backers: this game is not ours, it is yours! The "Director's Cut" free update to Chroma Squad brings long-awaited new features and improvements to the game. Let's go through each one of them! The adventure no longer ends after the credits roll - with the "New Game+" and "New Game++" features you can keep playing with your current party, facing randomized enemies and goals on the episodes, crafting new items, and perhaps making different story choices that could lead you to unexplored paths! The Mecha Fights have been completely revamped to be faster and more fun, and the random chances were replaced by new reflex mini-games! Difficulty levels have been completely rebalanced to offer a more customizable experience, including a new super-hard mode called "Heroic Difficulty"! We have also tweaked a few encounters in the game that were famously unfair or long (*cough cough* Mini-Kaiju Squad *cough cough*)!

Its finally here! Wed like to thank you for your patience and support through all these years. To all the fans and backers: this game is not ours, it is yours! The "Director's Cut" free update to Chroma Squad brings long-awaited new features and improvements to the game. Let's go through each one of them! The adventure no longer ends after the credits roll - with the "New Game+" and "New Game++" features you can keep playing with your current party, facing randomized enemies and goals on the episodes, crafting new items, and perhaps making different story choices that could lead you to unexplored paths! The Mecha Fights have been completely revamped to be faster and more fun, and the random chances were replaced by new reflex mini-games! Difficulty levels have been completely rebalanced to offer a more customizable experience, including a new super-hard mode called "Heroic Difficulty"! We have also tweaked a few encounters in the game that were famously unfair or long (*cough cough* Mini-Kaiju Squad *cough cough*)! And that's not all - we also fixed some bugs and the game should be running smoother and faster overall! **IMPORTANT: If you don't like the changes, the previous version of Chroma Squad will be forever available in the "Legacy" branch on Steam.** And that's it!

It all starts with a dream... we gather a group of friends and start working hard everyday. This is not just the story in Chroma Squad, it is our story as well. We know that you all expect so much from us, to fix all the bugs, to read all the comments, to release every possible feature and content... We're actually doing everything we can. We're are a small team of indie devs from Brazil, living the dream of creating our own games. Everyday we struggle with our laws, taxes, burocracy, prejudice and lack of opportunities. But today we achieved part of that dream. We're releasing a game on consoles! And we want to share this with you. The console version has some long-awaited features such as New Game+ and major changes for the Mecha fights. These changes are coming to PC as well in our "Director's Cut" edition. We originally planned to release it today alongside the console and mobile versions, but porting to consoles turned out to be way more challenging than we expected. There is no exclusivity deal or any hidden motive or agenda behind this delay. We are trying our best to release these console changes on PC, and will do so as soon as it is done. Someday we'll be as good as you deserve, but today, we can offer you this: a game made from the heart! <3 Thank you for supporting us through all these years.

Hello guys and girls :) Were so happy with Chroma Squad and the amazing community is has created. So Im here today to make some considerations and keep you updated with all sort of things. As soon as Chroma Squad was launched we started a new project and some of you already know, we are a very small indie team, so the beginning of a new project ended up putting on hold some of the updates we wanted to make for Chroma Squad. Also considering that the game is licensed by Power Rangers, it makes everything very slow and bureaucratic to add new stuff. So you can have a sense of all the paperwork involved, the contract to port the Chroma Squad to consoles and mobile took more than a year to be signed. Yeah. Thats how slow things move around this license! But today the team is way more focused on Chroma Squad and things are finally flowing. We want to resume our contact with this amazing community so you can expect updates for the next months. As always well be here in case you need us :ranger_assist:

Hey guys and girls.
I'm sorry for the lack of updates lately. So this is what we've been doing...
We're working really hard on porting the game for new platforms yay o/
In the future you'll be able to play Chroma Squad on different platforms we've already announced and be ready for some surprises on the way:
We're also polishing some features like upgrading the Mecha Fights and Audience Bar for a better player experience. All the best for the best supporters ever! ː8bitheartː
But don't worry! We're also fixing all the bugs we can get our hands on! Those little troublemakers will get what they deserve.
We're also on a very very veeeery experimental moment with a little something we're trying to do for you...
It's a very early prototype. But in the future you'll get more news about it so get ready to Chromatize even more!

We are starting on the long road of post-release Chroma Squad with a brand new plan and a lot of cool surprises for you in the coming months! But before we head out to new and exciting things we want to make sure that the game you can play right now is at its best. We have dealt with the rest of the high-profile bugs on our list and the game should be extremely stable by now, with no big nasty bugs anywhere. Please let us know if that’s not the case! This update also addresses many gameplay issues that were raised by players, critics and internally on the studio. Mecha healing skills have received a good buff, but expect a bit more incoming damage from the Kaijus as well. We have also rebalanced Audience completely - getting 100% Audience will become harder and harder to pull off as the game progresses. Economy and upgrades also got a re-touch and will be more more challenging especially on Season 4 onwards. Last but not least, we are looking at how you play our game both through videos and through raw data, and we have made a tough choice - but an important one, nonetheless. We are removing the “Blackouts” episode from Season 2, and the “Iron Mongery” episode from Season 3. We know some of you loved these, and we love them as well - they’re our kids after all! But we had a pacing problem on these Seasons and we are confident that new players coming into Chroma Squad now will have a much better experience with shorter seasons. Ironing Man will make a triumphant return…. Soon™. Features: - Added the "Violent" trait to the game; - Pressing ESCAPE now also closes settings screen; - End Episode screen now shows tooltip with Conversion Rate for fans and money; - Skill tree now shows Cooldown Cost for each skill; Mecha: - Mecha skill "Reload" healing increased by 20% on all items; - Mecha skill "Repair" healing increased by 30% on all items; - Mecha skill "Wonderwall" healing increased by 30% on all items; - Base Kaiju damage on Interesting increased from 1.1 to 1.2; - Base Kaiju damage on Challenging increased from 1.5 to 1.65; Gameplay: - Director's Instructions Audience reward decreased to 80% across the board on Season 3; - Director's Instructions Audience reward decreased to 70% across the board on Seasons 4 to 6; - minionmelee2 Audience value decreased from 80 to 70; - minionmelee3 Audience value decreased from 120 to 100; - minionraged2 Audience value decreased from 120 to 100; - minionraged3 Audience value decreased from 160 to 130; - miniontank2 Audience value decreased from 180 to 150; - miniontank3 Audience value decreased from 250 to 210; - ActorHP3 Upgrade cost increased from 2000 to 4000; - Camera3 Upgrade Cost increased from 1000 to 2000; - Crafting3 Upgrade cost increased from 2500 to 4000; - DropRate2 Upgrade cost increased from 1000 to 2500; - GlobalAudience Upgrade cost increased from 1000 to 3000; - Lights3 upgrade cost increased from 800 to 1700; - MechaHP3 upgrade cost increased from 2500 to 3200; - Microphone3 upgrade cost increased from 800 to 1700; - Cardboard Material pack price decreased from 3000 to 2500; - MMobile, Travel Nerds and ToysRFans Fan Power costs increased by 20% across the board; - ARMOR, ConductorsOfTheHypeTrain, Eagle, EDS, HappyBunny, HardEdgy, IndieDarlings, Marketcraft, Moneygrubber, SomeHollywoodGuys Fan Power costs increased by 25% across the board; Skills: - Biinon's Invisibility Use Cost increased from 70 to 110; Bosses: - Rider's Colin Bear Final Form hp decreased from 5000 to 4000; - Rider's Colin Bear Final Form no longer has the Armored trait; - Rider's Colin Bear Final Form now has the Violent trait; - Rider's Colin Bear Final Form defense decreased from 100 to 50; - Villain X defense AI threshold increased from 0.05 to 0.1; - Villain X AI adjusted to be more aggressive, teleport less; - Villain X final form attack increased from 280-320 to 320-400; - Villain X Kaiju Special Attack cooldown decreased from 3 to 2; - Villain X Kaiju Special Attack damage increased from 30000 to 35000; - Villain X Kaiju base damage increased from 9000 to 11000; - Woodman HP decreased from 1500 to 1200; - Woodman "Lil' Roots" skill now triggers only twice on the Boss encounter; Fixes: - Mecha Fight Optimization.

Turns out that we can crank the difficulty up just a little bit, as we’re confident you can take on the extra challenge!

Because of legal issues regarding our game and it's content, we can't sell through STEAM on those regions below. Afghanistan, Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, Cuba, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Japan, North and South Korea, Laos, Macao, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Sudan, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. We're really sorry about that, considering that we created a game inspired by mostly Japanese super heroes, and this hurts our hearts. ps.: It's only the Steam store that is hidden in your countries. But any Steam Key would still work fine. Now and Always.
