Cyberslayers News Update (Long Post)
🕑 Added 2022-03-24 16:46:14 +0000 UTC
Hey there !
Prepare a good cup of coffee or tea because this post will be long.
The development of the 0.3.2 update of Cyberslayers continues.
We are almost at the end of adding content.
This update will be delivered in April after an important testing phase.
The follow-up of the announced road map differs with delay on some aspects but more important work on others.
This road map is there to give you an idea of the development, it is not necessarily followed to the letter because it would put too much pressure on me and curb my passion on certain phases where I get carried away.
I develop this project by feel with a guideline but often I get carried away in very detailed scenes that take days of work. This is also surely what makes Cyberslayers a game apart.
I propose you an overview of what is done so far (I), what is planned by April (II) as well as the subject of what surrounds the universe of Cyberslayers and a word on Leridia (III)
I What is done
- A whole important part advancing the main story of Aline as a Cyberslayer.
This is an important moment that you will experience and will advance the lore in an important way. Characters will take a more important place and revelations will be made.
- The Supermutant and the confrontation with all its consequences: Hunting, Victory, defeat, Bonds system with a first real "Boss". Careful staging, combat and repeatable events.
- Complete route for Raph in a chapter 1 of his story arc. Repeatable event with consequences on the protagonists of the station / Dominance/Revenge system that varies the story's outcome
- Fred's complete route in a chapter 1 of his story arc with consequences on the sequels too. IMO the corruption of Aline is at its best with him at this stage of the development
- Implementation of an additional corruption system with the addition of "virtual corruption hearts" at the end of important routes allowing new dark pentagrams for Aline
- New locations: Dark Sector Backyard / Police Basement with skills required pentagrams / items hidden
- New music of my own composition including the main theme of the "Cyberslayers" fighters
- Hundreds of poses and dozens of animations, I did not count the erotic scenes but they are very numerous for this update with various situations. Most of the can be repeated.
- Last but not least, Orb of space and time to skip day/evening/night. Everything is now smoother, no more boring points and clicks between locations for a special purpose
II What is planned for April
- Once Fred's route is tested, I will start the oxygen bar events.
This place already exists on the mapping. I have planned an introduction to this new place that will allow us to meet new characters and get a little job. The maid job will be introduced I think but not working for this update
- I will create an event for the mixed bath opening a new arc with Jimmy. Expect a little different things with this character
-If I have time but not guaranteed: Introduction of the Dark Streets map
- Lots of testing and polishing of all this
I'd like everything to be ready for the 15th of april so that the publis release is the 30th of april.
If anything bad happens of if something does not please me, I won't hesitate to delay. I prefer to be honest with you.
Still, it is important to play the update now because it has a lot of things and I need you to test this on a massive scale. So, delaying is possible but I'd like to avoid it.

III Around Cyberslayers / Leridia
Exceptionally, the month of April will not have any sets because I have to concentrate on the update so that it comes out in the best conditions. I hope you will understand that, the sets will start again in May.
The early access remains active of course for the different tiers.
The blog around the Cyberslayers universe is still planned but I will dedicate some time to it after the 0.3.2.
I hope to show it to you soon, it enriches the lore and should be cool.
Finally, Leridia is slowly moving forward. I spend one day a week on it but obviously the Cyberslayers update is taking a lot of space now.
However, you should know that I'm still developing 1.0 and there are already a lot of cool things planned.
We'll talk about it again when we're done, but Leridia deserves a 1.0 adapted and readjusted thanks to my experience in game creation.

That's it for the news. I hope I made it clear where your investment is going.
Don't hesitate to join my discord because I regularly post my progress.
I'm really looking forward to you discovering all the work done. Honestly, I have no idea how long it takes for a normal player. There are few grinds, the events are repeatable but fluid, the whole thing should shine when the game has matured. It is still early because it is ambitious.
So, yeah...We have to continue the long road...and I really hope to have you by my side !
Comments
I can understand.
None Else
I really think your work is great. I'm really excited about both games. But! Last update for Cyberslayers was in December 2021. Almost 4 months without progress for Cyberslayers and a small eternity without progress for Chronicles of lerida. that's not so great. Nonetheless, keep up the good work.

If you can produce and present the good quality contents, I wouldn't mind some delay. I always hated the mentality of the big gaming publishers that rush out buggy unfinished mess and patch later.
