Even as heat ravages our lands, development continues and so must the updates!
First of all the recent merch campaign has been successful, thanks to all the supporters of Cheese and Keychain Lea!
As for the update on development, we can share progress on the next area (including the dungeon), new weapon abilities and various quality of life features! And also information regarding our attendance at the upcoming Gamescom!
Some days ago, we teased that Alabaster Dawn and CrossCode would be part of a collaboration with another game.
Today we can finally reveal what that game is:
It is… SHADE Protocol!
For those who have not seen it yet, SHADE Protocol is an upcoming cyber-fantasy Metroidvania with fast combat, stylish abilities, and a wild world-cutting mechanic that lets you slice and reshape parts of the environment.
What caught our attention is that the team seems to care about many of the same things we do: expressive combat, secrets, ambitious pixel art worlds, and game systems that can get a little bit ridiculous in the best way.
So yes… mystery solved!
Together, CrossCode, Alabaster Dawn, and SHADE Protocol are planning a crossover collaboration with content in both SHADE Protocol and Alabaster Dawn.
And all of it is being planned carefully so it does not interrupt or delay the development of either game.
It has been about 2 weeks since EarlyAccess officially started with version 0.1.0 and the feedback, at about 1.5k reviews, has been (almost) Overwhelmingly Positive.
We’re incredible grateful for so many people joining Early Access at this early stage! And with how things have started, we’re confident that we can develop the game to its full potential!
Thank you so much!
And of course, we also received a lot of bug reports and feature requests. By now, most critical issues should hopefully be fixed and we’ll keep track of requested features as well to determine which can make it into the game.
We’re now at a point where we will focus on expanding the game and adding new content, so let’s talk more about that!
