Survivor Strain – Season One is out now
Hi, everyone. I hope you’re having an amazing week!
As many of you know, this update is a full polish of the entire season. I went through every single dialogue line, and everything should now feel much smoother and more natural. The original beta release still needed a lot of refinement, so this update focuses heavily on that.
I also fixed the old “pause” issue. I used to add pauses to almost every render so players could enjoy the visuals, but in the long run, it hurt the pacing. Now the scenes should feel more cinematic and fluid. Adult scenes still include pauses since they benefit from a slower rhythm.
Throughout the game, I added many new renders to make transitions smoother and enhance the overall experience.
All dialogues were improved and proofread by professional proofreaders.
In-game Walkthrough: I added a simple in-game walkthrough that you can turn on or off in the settings. It’s still basic for now, but I’ll expand it as I work on the next season.
One thing that still needs work is the codex. I’ll continue improving it while developing Season 2.
I’m sorry this update took longer than expected. Since I’ve been working part-time lately, progress slowed a bit, but I’ve still been giving it my 1000% to make sure we create something truly special.
The season will continue receiving small improvements as we move into translations, but nothing major — the big clean-up has already been done.
I really hope you enjoy this much more polished experience now. From the beginning, it should feel much better. I even added a nice song to the intro. I hope you enjoy it. This story is one I gave my heart to making. I really hope you can enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it.
Anything, just let me know. I will fix it right away.
And thanks so much to all the people who followed and supported this project during this time. I can't thank you enough.
