Skul: The Hero Slayer (tuxdb.com)

Hello everyone, Well just get straight to the point. Were planning to release the 1.0 version of Skul: The Hero Slayer on January 21st. This is sure to come as a surprise and major disappointment since we had long-planned to launch this month, but it was absolutely not a decision that we took lightly. As well explain below, we felt that this was our only option and ultimately what is best for both Skul and this community. First of all, wed like to sincerely apologize for not being able to follow through on our promise to release the update this year. We gave it our best effort, but ultimately fell short of our goals and it is killing us not being able to share what weve been working on with you before the holiday season. Simply put, we underestimated the amount of time it would take to fully implement and test all of the changes and additions that weve made to the game. As we referenced in earlier posts the 1.0 patch will be pretty massive, so it was hard to accurately predict our development timeline. That being said, youre probably wondering what well be doing until launch. With the addition of the final two chapters, several cutscenes and a ton of new skull upgrades, well be focusing on further polishing everything and balancing the game as much as possible. We only get one shot at launching the 1.0 version, so we want to do everything in our power to make sure that it goes off without a hitch and that we deliver the best version of Skul that we can. Because at the end of the day, you deserve nothing less than our best and we expect that of ourselves as well. Wed also like to thank you all once again for supporting and sticking with us through this extended gap between updates. It means the world to us and we couldnt be more grateful to have you by our side. This truly has been the ride of a lifetime for us and were just getting started - SouthPAW Games

The Backstory

What's left of the Demon King's castle...

The human race attacking the Demon King's castle is nothing new and has happened countless times before. What makes this time different though, is that the Adventurers decided to join forces with the Imperial Army and the 'Hero of Caerleon' to finally succeed in the total destruction of the Demon stronghold. All of the demons in the castle were taken prisoner except for one lone skeleton named 'Skul'.

Skul, a member of the Demon's Guard

Skul is no ordinary skeleton. In addition to his formidable fighting skills, he can gain new and exciting abilities depending on which skull he's wearing.
Use up to 2 skulls at a time, each of which has its own unique attack range, speed and power. So choose ones that match your playing style and switch them in the heat of battle to bring your enemies to their knees. The power is in your hands!

The Adventurers

Skul has crossed paths with a party of Adventurers! They are powerful foes that hunt Demons for sport. But while Skul may be small, he still packs quite a punch. So just see who really is the hunter and who is the hunted....
