Hello! This is SouthPAW Games, the development team for Skul: The Hero Slayer. First of all, wed like to thank you once again for being a part of this community. All of the feedback weve received has been extremely insightful and helped us to both improve the Early Access version of the game and also prepare it for the full launch. These first two months of EA in particular have helped us to choose our path going forward. And now that weve decided exactly what content needs to be added before the full launch, were finally ready to present our Development Roadmap for Skul: The Hero Slayer to you.

Roadmap Summary

Were going to try and add as much new content as possible during the Early Access period. Well also do our best to polish the existing content based on your feedback until the games full release. When considering the amount of content we have planned and the time it will take to develop that, were expecting to officially release the game sometime in October. With that being said, weve also started to work on the PS4 and Switch ports. Well continue development of them in parallel with the PC version and hope to release the console versions soon after the full launch on Steam.

Direction Going Forward

Our main focus is to double down on what makes Skul fun, all the while improving upon its underwhelming aspects.

Battles Kicked Up A Notch

Picking up skulls and items will come faster and easier than ever before. Also depending on your luck, you can get much stronger at the beginning of the game. This should ratchet the tension up a notch and make for even more exciting battles.

New Event

The little skeleton will be helped in a wide range of ways after rescuing its demon brethren or meeting other helpful characters. We also plan on reforming the Witchs Trait System for the full version. Youll have much more to choose from and be able to improve the character more strategically. This should provide for even more varied and interesting battles.

Even More Drama

Well be adding a wide range of skulls, skills and items going forward. Youll also experience special effects thanks to the Set Effect System we plan on implementing. A keyword system will provide new and diverse effects that will strengthen your character and give you even more ways to take out the Imperial Army.

Wrapping Up The Story

The adventure of the little skeleton is drawing close to its climax. Youll soon find out how the story ends and also learn more about Harmonias past thanks to the memories of the undead skeleton. Weve said this before, but Skul: The Hero Slayer really is a game thats being shaped by this community. Were paying close attention to your opinions and thats really helped us to paint a clear picture in our minds of how this games development should progress going forward. With that in mind, this announcement is just a summarization of all the main points we wanted to share with you. There are countless other opinions and ideas that we couldnt address here, but you can be rest assured that your voices are being heard and were working tirelessly to bring the best version of Skul to you that we can. We cant wait to continue down this path together with you all. Thanks everyone!
