Merry Release Day!!!



We wanted to start out by wishing everyone pleasant winter holidays, and say thanks to anyone who has considered purchasing and helping contribute to Werewolf Hunter X.

We just hit the Release button! What a super awesome thing to do! Its Early Access release, but it is still a VERY cool thing to do.

Its going to be a long process, but we will fill the time with feedback requests, content updates, bug fixes, contests, and more. Our goal is to ensure the Early Access period of Werewolf Hunter X is fun and exciting for everyone!

The first thing wed like to do is get a feel from the community as to what we should be focusing our efforts on for the coming content update. There are a lot of unfinished mechanics, features, art, and plot, so your ideas are welcomed and appreciated.

We're sure there will be a good amount of bug reports, and we will address those as quickly as possible, with game breaking bugs taking a priority, so dont worry if you run into one. Let us know by responding here or even by sending an email to Support@SeaCreatureSandwich.com.

We are very excited to hear your thoughts and ideas. Thanks!

The SeaCreatureSandwich Team
